[Q] Noob question about rooting my phone - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i have a samsung galaxy s2 with the gingerbread 2.3.6 and model number SCH-R760 and build number is XARFI24. i have not been able to find a root tutorial for this version. can anyone help please. thank you

As I'm nice, I did a bit of research, and it appears it uses the exynos chip, so any standard rooting tutorial will work, do a search.
Although, it was on the US cellular website, so if you root and it turns out its a TI-OMAP chip, don't blame me.

First off, look where questions go! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763193
Secondly, dial *#1234# and post results.
You need to read the stickies first, that is what they are there for.

He is having a i9100G
You have an I9100G. If you flash roms/kernels for the I9100 on your phone you run the risk of soft bricking it at best or hard bricking it (return to Samsung for a repair you pay for) at worst.
Make absolutely sure any rom or kernel you flash on your phone is specifically for the I9100G. I cannot stress this enough.

That is an i9100G kernel, and you have an i9100G phone. So, yes.
i9100 G section now opened .

Not that I really cared (since I have an i9100, and not a G)... But I had to unsubscribe and clear cache on the app, and resubscribe. And now it shows.

Hello I need some help to Root the Bell Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE (i757). I have been looking through the forms but haven't been able to find any instructions. if a Link can be provided or instructions that would be greatly appreciated.

Please advise on rooting

Sorry to join the chorus of noobs asking for rooting advice when there are vids and threads galore, but I am finding this all confusing.
I have got my new S3 from the UK network Three, it is of the following spec:
Model Number = GT-I9300
Android Version = 4.0.4
Baseband version = I9300XXLH1
I would be grateful if someone could advise me of the simplest method I should use for rooting as I am confused.
I would love to also hear any suggestions on custom roms but obviously that is a secondary request!
Thanks to anyone who wouldn't mind advising me! :silly:
read the stickies in the general i9300 forum. All your questions will be answered there (including a step bu step rooting guide)
the only way that you can mess it up is if you think you're smarter than the guide and not follow it properly.

Just use mskip's s3 toolkit 6.0. Don't worry the toolkit is fool proof.

Thank you very much for your reply, unfortunately that method does not have the build version of my phone (IMM76D.I9300XXBLG8) on the list (it has XXBLG9 though lol).
Going to try XXBLG9 as it seems this is the suggestion in the tools thread. It is funny how in all these noob proof threads I follow to root my devices I always end up taking leaps of faith! I wish I had more acumen for this stuff!
Thank you very much for putting me on the right track all the same, I appreciate it!

Just read the instructions on the toolkit. It says to choose the closest build if you cant find yours. Goodluck!

Jelly Beans kernel..? What do you want to do? Update the rom? Then you can/must search. Update the kernel only? Then your phone won't work.

I'm ashamed to tell you this, but you sir, are the one who's browsing in the wrong forum.
And I hate to break it to you that Skipjacks was correct; this thread was posted in S4 & was obviously moved by moderators.
