That's another problem i do not have cwm it'd rooted but can't get cwm on it. My friend rooted it using Odin,

I dont remember seeing any method for rooting by using odin.
Anyway, get a kernel that works on your phone model specifically. Flash it with odin through download mode. Then use Easy Rooting Toolkit V4 by DooMLoRD to root.

So you have no more details? How are people suppose to help?

I downloaded kies, went through that process then closed kies and used odin, then kernel and uploaded kernel via PDA. And rooted.

What is your phone model and the kernel you flashed?
we want to suggest the best kernel for you so you can flash it.

Are you on stock kernel or did you flash some release? What release?
---------- Post added at 05:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 PM ----------
These are some kernels maybe you should consider http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Epic_4G_Touch/Kernels
This section is mostly for I9100.
But, There is a specific section here for your phone and it might be better for you to check it and find resources that are more related to you http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1281.
Flash one that you feel OK with and we can help you through if you are still having issues.

[Q] Which kernel to flash to install revolt JB rom?

Hi all. I am using the gingerbread speedmod kernel and I am on gingerbread stock rom. What kernels should I use to install the revolt JB rom? Thanks for any help in advance
Basically any ICS kernel. Most of them work with JB. Siyah kernel is a good choice. But when you flash the kernel, you'll have to install that Revolt rom right away since you won't be able to boot Gingerbread on ICS/JB kernel. You'll just get a bootloop.
Sent from my Galaxy S2 GT i9100
So what you mean is that when I am in odin, flash the kernel, immediately go to recovery mode and flash the rom? But I thought after you flash the kernel your phone will reboot and thus go into boot screen? Unless you take out the battery or something
First flash stock 4.0.3 firmware on your phone. Then install siyah. That'll give you custom CWM recovery. And using that you can install your JB ROM.
Any other way and you'll just be stuck with a bootloop. Hopefully you know all about having a nandroid backup, backing up your efs and basics of using Odin having previously installed a custom kernel

You kinda got me at flashing stock firmware and nandroid. How do I flash a stock firmware and do a nandroid backup? I mean I only rooted my phone with a video tutorial so I'm not really that familiar about other stuff...
Thats been done and asked many times over in this forum. Tutorials for all what you've asked are available in the General section. Do have a look at those and search some similar threads. If there's still something you don't understand, you can always ask and people are here to help. But like the rules say, search first mate.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I searched and I found stock firmware with Asia as the region but the country is Malaysia but I live in Singapore. The baseband version is also different. But can it work?
It'll work as long as its the firmware for your device.. ie.you don't flash an i9100G firmware on your i9100 and vice versa. The baseband deals with your signal. That can always be changed at a later stage if necessary.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Oh I understand now. I've searched the forums and found that 4.0.4 ICS which is leaked and may lead to a hard brick. But I can't find any 4.0.3 firmware as it's for i9100G...
Is this the correct thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640812. Sorry if I'm a little paranoid...
Btw my model version is the GT-i9100. And do I download the kernel from the thread above?
Good enough. Download a 4.0.3 firmware from there. In the meantime read up on Odin since you'll need that to install the firmware. There's a huge noobs guide to using Odin somewhere on the forum. And also search for a tool to backup your EFS if you haven't already.
And don't forget to thank the posters. People take time out to help others. Only expect you to hit the thanks button in return :beer:

Firmware (ROM). Not kernel. The firmware is a pretty large download..around 200Mb or more whereas the kernel will barely be 10mb or so. If you only flash the kernel you'll have an ICS kernel and GB ROM. Won't work.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
So do u have to get the kernel from another link? Since the link I showed you is for ICS. So that means any Siyah kernel would be fine as long as it's for my firmware, right?
Is there any chances of bricking of my phone?

No. If you install
the firmware, the kernel comes included in it.
There is just one siyah kernel. Different versions, but its still the same. Download and install the latest version for the S2. ie. v4.1.5 AFTER you're on ICS.

There is always a risk involved. It is minimized to almost near zero levels if you read all the guides and tutorials available on this site carefully. If you're too lazy to do that, then its your fault if you've bricked your device. If there's something you don't understand, use Google. There are instructions/step by step guides/ video walkthroughs/ galore. If everything else fails, ask.
As long as you've not hardbricked your phone with the emmc bug, its almost always recoverable even if bricked. And that's avoidable merely by sticking to 4.0.3.

Sent from my GT-P6200 using xda premium
Glad you got it sorted
I always liked using Siyah on GB roms. But one thing you need to watch out for - make sure you flash a Gingerbread kernel now you're running GB stock. If you flash an ICS or JB kernel, your phone won't boot (doubt you'd brick it outright, but stranger things have happened here).
As long as you do that, you'll be fine Have a look in the development sections of the board & you should be able to find threads with GB kernels that work with stock.

[Q][I9300][XXELLA]Best way to root?

Hello everyone,
I got my new S3 and would like to root it. I am looking for the easiest way to do so. Currently I would like to stay on stock firmware, but only rooted. There seems to be so many ways to root the I9300, so I am looking for suggestions from user who have rooted already.
My S3 info:
Model number: GT-I9300
Android version: 4.1.2
Baseband version:I9300XXELLA
Build number: JZO54K.I9300XXEMA2
This method seems the easiest: [GT-I930x/T/N][SHV-E210*][SHW-M440S] CF-Auto-Root
Thank you,
CF-Autoroot or CF-Root 6.5 depending if you want to have a custom recovery or not. Follow the guides and make sure to flash the correct file for your device!
PhilZ Or TWRP .

Although I would recommend changing the recovery that comes with the latter anyway as we can't guarantee it's SDS safe, which means may as well do CF_Autoroot.
Then as JJE says, flash Philz or TWRP
I used cf auto root then put cwm recovery on. XXEMC2 also have stock rom at the min

Philz is like CWM but with way more features.
TWRP is a completely different experience but equally as good. Both of these are safe from SDS (See sticky in general for Sudden Death)
CWM is nto SDS safe
Just read thay thread..and I do suffer feom random bouts of the phone restarting itself.but this is an issue I had on stock rom before root
Have noticed since root my clock widget forgets to update so I have to delete it and replace again on hoke screen
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
We're talking about recovery now not rom. If you stick with cwm, when you flash a rom - we cannot tell you you're safe from brick due to sds. Only twrp or philz we can say you're safe. We've advised you. Follow or ignore our advice, its your call but you have been warned.

When you say "with", you don't mean you will try to root with Mobile Odin do you? Mobile Odin only works after root. You will need Desktop Odin to flash CF_AutoRoot
