I have been looking into rooting my Samsung Galaxy S2 From Virgin Mobile and i cant seem to get it done, i have looked at the other threads but nothing seems to help. I updated my Galaxy to jelly bean but rooting it seems to be a little difficult. Really need some help on what I'm doing wrong , any help on how to do it the right way will be greatly appreciated, Thanks !!!:D:D
 
The one click GB28 that is discussed in the sticky rooting guide should be pretty straight forward. Is there something that you are hung up on?

I did everything it said but I still do not have root , although the part about the yellow triangle is a bit confusing and in not sure what to do or if I'm doing it wrong
 
The yellow triangle shows up on the bootscreen when custom software is installed. It's just a way to show you modified the software if you try to return the phone.
My first thoughts are to reinstall the drivers for the phone on your computer. I have read of people having to do that. The install should take several minutes. did you see the com port turn yellow when you plugged in the usb and the same one turn green and say pass when you were done?

the midnight rom had a good walkthrough to go from stock to that rom and it runs great. but it starts with getting the one click going so we'll have to get you past that first step.

Yeah I got that part don and thw yellow triangel dis pop up and the phone wont go past that bit everything that you mentioned before I did that and my phone did pass
 
no super user app or custom recovery though? my last thought is to double check the one click was one with root in it.
it sounds like you went through the process correctly, I would follow to the letter the install instructions for the midnight rom. it is bassed off stock but tweeked to run fast.
