I know there are many ways.. but what is the best and simplest approach to rooting a Samsung Galaxy SII AT&T? Links? I am just trying to help a female friend who lives 1000s of miles away in India. Any suggestions? She is quite good with jailbreaking an iPhone but the Android I know is a little more 'involved'. Suggestions?

If that info is still current, Super Oneclick works for root. And just to be clear, your friend in India is using an ATT version?

This worked for me just dandy yesterday. Added benefit, doesn't increment the "flash counter" on the phone:
[GUIDE] How to Flash Custom Binaries Without Ever Incrementing the Flash Counter
I used method method 2c to root my phone, since my orig baseband version was at I777UCKK6. I then used method 3a to install a customized kernel containing ClockworkMod Recovery (I chose Siyah 2.6.14 for this).
There's only one 'gotcha'. After method 2c is applied, your WiFi won't work until you do a "Settings...Privacy...Factory data reset". Yes, this is a pain, so make sure you have backups. I haven't had the phone long, so I just went through the out-of-the-box setup again afterwards.
