- For the time in 5/10/2011, the latest official rom is ZSKG2 which is for HK phone model. So I upgrade my phone from KF4 to KG2 with the Samsung Kies software. (Note: when you connect your phone with Kies, make sure the debug mode is turned off....)
- Go to XDA download Odin3-1.85 and the CF-Root kernel which is a kernel that has already been rooted. For my phone, I need this: CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KG2-v4.1-CWM4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 - The next step is pretty simple. Boot to the download mode, and start Odin to flash the rooted kernel. It just takes you no more than 5 minutes. Done!

- From your app drawer, you will find two new icons. 1) Superuser; 2) CWM (ClockWorkMod)
- Now your phone is rooted and you can use all kinds of root-required apps from Market, such as Titanium Backup. You can also flash other roms!
- Before you do it, make a backup of your original rom for safe. You can do that in CWM.
- Also, guys in XDA recommend to do a backup for the efs folder of your phone. The phone contains some phone-unique-and- specific information. Do it with the shell command listed here:
