I know there's already a sticky on rooting but that method did not work for me. Using this method I could root my SGS2 and my Samsung Galaxy Player. This method will only work on Windows (sorry Mac users). I am not the creator of this exploit and all credit goes to DooMLoRD of the XDA forums.Now, on to the tutorial....

Confirmed Devices:
Sony Xperia X10 (GB firmware)
Sony Xperia Arc (.42 firmware)
Sony Xperia Arc S
Sony Xperia Play [R800i/R800x]
Sony Xperia Ray
Sony Xperia Neo
Sony Xperia Mini
Sony Xperia Mini Pro
Sony Xperia Pro
Sony Xperia Active
NTT Docomo Xperia ARCO SO-02C
Samsung Galaxy S2 [GT-9100/GT-9100P]
Samsung Galaxy S II for T-Mobile (SGH-T989)
Samsung Galaxy S II for AT&T (SGH-I777), Skyrocket (SGH-i727)
Samsung Galaxy S [i9000B] & [i9000 2.3.3 (PDA I9000BOJV8, Phone I9000XXJVO, CSC I9000GDTMJV7) and german T-Mobile branding]
Samsung Galaxy Mini GT-S5570
Samsung Galaxy W [i8150]
Samsung Galaxy Y
Samsung Galaxy Tab [P1000] (2.3.3 firmware), [P1000N]

Motorola XT883 (China Telecom)

Nexus One (2.3.6 stock)



Step 1:
Make sure you have the latest drivers for your device or the program will not detect it.

Step 2:
Enable USB Debugging in your settings (Settings-Applications-Development)

Step 3:
Enable Unknown Sources (Settings-Applications)

Step 4:
Connect USB cable to your phone then to your PC

Step 5:
Download the file from the link below

Step 6:
Extract the files from the archive and run "runme.bat"


Congratulations! You have now rooted your phone


I am not responsible for any damage that this may cause to your device. Use at your own risk. If you follow the directions properly then nothing bad should happen.

Using ZergRush, this is the binary used to create the exploit that is executed by Revolutionary, (which is meant to unlock NAND on HTC devices) so remember, there is a chance this could end up being a SOFTROOT only which means you may loose your root upon reboot.
