  Once I know your kernal version then I'll post link for the file you need. Just a heads up as you know that this will void any warranty on the handset.
  
  Also do you have Ice Cream Sandwich on your SGS2?

  I think you need this CF kernal to root your phone.
  
  http://download.chainfire.eu/143/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXX_LPB-v5.2-CWM5.zip?retrieve_file=1
  
  Download the file
  Run Odin
  Click PDA
  Add the above file
  Turn your phone off
  Turn on in download mode (power button+volume down+home buttom)
  Continue pass the warning
  Connect phone to PC should appear on Odin sayin its connecte
  Click Start or Run on Odin and wait
  Should take around 8-10 seconds but dont worry if it takes longer
  
  Hopefully that will root your phone. To unlock just download the app in comment 1 and hopefully thats self explanatory...
  
  Good Luck and hope it all goes fine.

  You just need wipe your phones cache using CWM. That should solve ya problem.
  
  Here's a thread on XDA of all stock firmwares and kernals.

  also, is the kernal above an unsecure one?
  if so, which secure one would i need to put on the phone after rooting it?

  The kernal is secure i think you just need to flash using odin and your phone will be rooted. There is nothing else you need after.
