After Rooting S2

[Fryguy128]

I'm considering rooting my S2 i777 from at&t. I know the rooting process of using Odin. What I want to know is what do you all recommend I do after I rooting? Also is there a way to root and flash without advancing the flash counter built into Samsung phones? Lastly, has anyone bricked their S2 beyond repair?
Thanks
