Just today, I decided to restore my Samsung Galaxy SII to factory settings and start all over. Lots of things went wrong with the phone and I thought wiping the thing should be the perfect solution. I did and lost root access. I initially rooted the phone by flashing a rooted stock firmware with ODIN. I decided to try another method out and by far, it’s the simplest way to root most Samsung Android phones with unlocked bootloader. According to the developer, this method works on not just Samsung Galaxy S2 but lots o other phones as well. As a matter of fact, even if it’s not gonna work for you, there’s no harm in trying it out.

I rooted my Samsung Galaxy SII with it and personally tried it on another Samsung Galaxy SIII (both Jellybean). There’s no hassles and even if you’ve never rooted an Android device before, you should be able to do this. Like I said, it may only work if your bootloader is not locked.
It’s said to be also tested on these devices:
- Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch – SPH-D710
- Samsung Galaxy S2 AT&T SGH-I777
- Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100
- Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300
- Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE GT-I9305
- Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000
- Samsung Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100
- Samsung Galaxy Note 2 LTE GT-N7105
- AT&T Galaxy Note 2 SGH-I317
- Verizon Galaxy Note 2 SCH-I605
- T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2 T-889
- Samsung Galaxy Camera EK-GC100
- Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus GT-P6210
- Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8000, GT-N8010, GT-N8013, GT-N8020
- iBerry Auxus CoreX2 3G and CoreX4 3G

If your device isn’t listed, you can still give it a shot anyway but I won’t be held responsible if your device gets bricked. Its mostly compatible with Exynos Samsung devices. It’s also tested working on this Omap devices:
- Archos 101 Gen8
- Coolpad Quattro 4G
Steps to root your device with this once click installer
1. Download Rooting-kit-for-samsungFramaroot

I do not guarantee this will work on every device apart from the ones listed above but all the same, you can give it a shot. If it doesn’t work, you may check out these alternatives:

Sorry am a noob to android/samsung phones. When you say Download the Rooting Kit, unzip and copy into the phone, does it mean I need to do this via a PC? OR can these steps be done fully on the phone?
Everything can be done on your mobile phone so far you have the app to unzip the file. Androzip can do it.
Alternatively, you can unzip it on a pc and transfer the .apk file to your phone.
Rooting via this method would void warranty i take it?
Whichever way, rooting voids warranty.
Will My Phone’s data and Apps be gone by using this method?
Not at all, everything will be intact.
Anyone tried this successfully on a samsung note 2 lte on android 4.1.2?
Has anybody successfully done this with an SGH-I747 running 4.1.1?
This is beatiful. Works 100%
