    @ZAKIR MUSTAFA
    CWM is not root its a custom recovery ... if you have bug with CWM then you can install CWM6 or any version....which Android version currently you have in your S2?

    I had spent the past 4 days searching for ways to root my S2 after upgrading it to jellybean without the trouble of using odin. And then this lifesaver happened. Now with the power of root I can again hack the gold in dead trigger and resume with my zombie massacre. Yeeehaaaaa!!!

    @Tengon Siaw
    Bro...i am already mentioned in the post that it is only for international version galaxy s2 that is i9100..you have I9100G so it may not work...so flash the official ROM for I9100G using ODIN it will solve the problem...you will get the official ROM at SamMobile
