Rooting, some questions: Version, risks, warranty

[0xZero0swe]

Hi!


I hope it doesn't matter if I make a thread about rooting,
because I've seen some other threads here but it weren't my
questions in them.

Don't want to bump, and a bit easier, so I hope the thread could still be alive, thanks! .

Question 1:

Does it matter witch Android version I have?
(I currently have: 4.1.2)

Model: Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-19100.



Question 2:

I have read on another forum that it isn't much
risk that something goes wrong when it's done?/when it's in progress (?).

Are it worth it then?.
(Asks again for to be on the safe side)

Are there any other risks?.



Question 3:

What about the warranty?

I bought it in the end of 2012..
But I could just un-root it if it would happen something?
If it needs to get repaird?, but it's just if the phone came broken or something?..

So I don't think it makes any sense.
Or?..


I thought to go with this guide:

Because it's easy to understand etc..

As per #1.5...

Kernel. Your choice of Root kernel depends on the Android Version you are running.

Settings > About phone > Android version to determine which firmware you have.

Now, depending on your firmware version, you can download one of the following 3 kernels to root your phone.

(all the following kernels have the, "brick bug", fix where needed)
