How To Root Your Samsung Galaxy S II - Automatic Root Kernel

This video shows you how to root your SGS2 without needing to use "SuperOneClick" as I did in my earlier method. All you have to do is install a custom Kernel. I hope you enjoy the video and if you do, give it a thumbs up and if you'd like to see more, just subscribe to my channel :)

can someone teach me how to unroot it?? thx

@kennygilak1 Just reflash a stock kernel, they're available on XDA. You don't even need an account to download stuff any more. As for your display, a little more information would be helpful.

Oh, I nearly forgot, thanks for your comment on my channel, f*ck you too. Ungrateful sod.

...answer anywhere! XDA is next to no help other than a source for the kernels. All the guys there explain it like i already know. Your videos would be more help to me if i knew what the hell you were talking about lol. Hope you reply and can help me or it looks like ill be selling this 4 day old phone and getting me iPhone 4 back. Cheers, mate.

@showofdeth

a) Yes the kernel has to be exactly the right one, or your phone won't boot

b) Videos that are to simple take wayyy to long to explain everything, it's just not practical

c) If you're that new to Android I wouldn't suggest you start trying to hack it, read lots, do little, first.

d) Yes, the iPhone is simpler than Android, it's why I can't stand it, it's like being treated like an idiot.

e) If this doesn't answer all your questions, feel free to ask more :)

Hope that helps,

Matt

What are the chances of bricking the phone if I follow this tutorial correctly?

@cheeseman2603 Little to no chance at all. I've never had anyone brick their phone following my guide.

thanks...

@kennygilak1 I unrooted it by updating my phone, I'd rather have the nice quality than the root options. First uncheck the 'usb unbugging' thing and then update via KIES on your computer.

@Otimel1022 oit me too i dont know why.. did u find the solution alrdy?

[kennygilak1]
