The traditional method of Rooting Samsung Android phones is with the use of insecure kernel and flash it via Odin but their is the difficulty of unrooting the device. I stumbled a thread on XDA that uses a much simpler rooting method for Samsung Android phones running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. It is very easy that even a novice owner can do it.
Yellow Triangle and Flash counter will not appear because this rooting method does not use custom kernel but rather a much simpler script.

This method works on Galaxy S II and Note but not tested on S III and carrier branded S III. One thing for sure this method will not brick your device because their is no flashing involve.
