So you dont want to read the faqs and guides and expect it all to work like clockwork ???
Baseband is nothing to do with root .

The easiest way is to look it up on YouTube using your phone's model that way you'll get step by step instructions and all the correct links you need.

Rooting a phone does not unlaggy it .You should not root your phone if you do not have a clue as to what root is for .
You really really need to read the guides and faqs alternatives is to join the i bricked my phone gang .

After routing your sgs2 the OTA update will no longer work for you. Be aware of that.

NO IT DOES NOT. Do you have no idea what root is for?
Here is a nice overview for you:
Getting root or rooting your phone is the process of modifying the operating system that shipped with your device to grant you complete control over it.
This means you can overcome limitations that the carriers and manufacturers put on your phone, extend system functionality, and even upgrade it to a custom flavor of Android.
The name root comes from the Linux operating system world, where the most privileged user on the system (otherwise known as Administrator on Windows) is called root.
Root DOES NOT speed up your phone, which you should have realised when you read the description of root. Root allows you flash a new ROM, which is a new GUI of your phone, or a new kernel, which MAY make your phone faster in certain aspects, especially if you overclock your phone.
By the way, I found the root description by simply typing into google "root for android explained" if you get confused again...
Chris.

Thanks ....

Hi
We have the same firmware and I have rooted my phone. It's easy as long as you take it patiently and read things regarding the procedure so you don't mess with your priced possession.
Go to galaxys2root.com- Find the article "How to root Galaxy s2". This is a step by step process with video as well as pictures so that you won't get lost in the process. The links on this site will still get you here @ xda forum so it's legit and this is what I used to root my device. Please read it carefully and refer to the pictures each time you finished the steps needed.
And if you want to download your "Official Firmware" just in case you want to go back and have your warranty at sammy service centers just go to INTRATECH's post here @ xda and download it then flash it via odin. Remember you also need to have a "usb jig" to erase traces that you have made in your device. If the link of Official Firmware @ Intratech's post won't make you download it because it is broken (last time I did I can't download it) then go to samfirmware.com.

Im totaly confused cuz i dnt want to lose my warranty... Maybe ill wait for the ics... It will be better

im running stock 2.3 uk firmware now i have even installed the adb drivers everything is enabled whenever i downgrade my kernel and take off the usb and replug no root nothing ? i am getting desperate my pc detects my phone so does flashtool :/
i think i found the solution i flashed an x10i firmware while my phone is an x10a can that cause conflict?
It can yeah best bet is use seus to get back to stock. Check with flashtool makers binary or zdizhu if it compatible I not sure so I not want to give u wrong advice.

It won't cause any conflict...
i think u should install se pc companion..i solved this problem by doing that because it contain adb driver.. refer to azuzu thread.
yo.. i had a similar issue.
2.3 kernel and the 2.1 kernel use different versions of ADB drivers.
Enable usb debugging.
Flash 2.1 downgrade kernel.
Uninstall all drivers
Install 2.1 drivers.
"you may require to have the device manager open for this for quick usb device access"
Do kernel upgrade.
Uninstall all drivers
Re-install 2.3 drivers.
You can thank me later.

From the link page:
"The previously leak was version UCLC5. The following build is UCLD3. This is a major bug fix build, so there are no new features. Those who are testing this build out say it’s smoother than ever, although Instagram still doesn’t work. Without further ado, use the guide below to flash the new leak onto your SGH-I717."
Cool.. new leak :-D getting closer to official... then kernel sources and we even have init.d injection from another member... things are getting juicy personally waiting on a CWM version/ROM by a known dev using this base before I test drive it. Neat none the less and glad cwm/root are attainable without modification after Odin.

There used to be a code you could use on you phone but that no longer works, you can always remove root after you have done it.
Does it wipe your phone doing it or not?

If you have stock rom not rooted then you will get OTA you wont get OTA if you have a rooted phone only kies, but kies has to see your rom correctly so you need to change the CSC

Rooting and Un-Rooting will not wipe your phone data.
Don't use the root method from my signature though unless you are doing it on a SGS3 if it's a Nexus 7, check in that forum for rooting / un-rooting tools.
As you have two different signatures for these posts.
Ok ive messed around for ages now and I still can't get Kies to update my phone
I've gone back to 4.1.2 Device status as Normal and Kies still says NOPE U AINT UPDATING ON HERE
Does anyone know why it wont update?
Is it still the CSC?
And why doesn't it install the full Rom including the CSC when doing full BTU UK flash
OK
From he post above which CSC would I Download from http://androidfirmwares.net/PhoneCSC3 to make the csc the same as AP and CP

BTW- why not flashing a 4.3 rom? the newer releases are much better than 4.1.2 vers (to my opinion). Personally, I recommend the one in my signature

Samsung changed S3s partition version from EMG4 builds, which caused a real headache to users who wanted to downgrade to earlier builds, resulting IMEI & network issues (still a major subject in Q&A threads). You can look for more info on the FAQ thread.
Anyway, you've already done the leap of faith towards EFSv2, so you can only climb up

If i flash 4.4.2 rom, and i want to go back to 4.3. It is safe to flash or is imposible to revert to 4.3?
I read that note3 is imposible to revert to 4.3 because of knox.

You are right. Once you flash any 4.4.2 firmware containing the Knox bootloader you will not be able to downgrade to 4.3 without triggering the Knox counter and once it is triggered your warranty is void forever (as of now). There is no means to reset the Knox counter as for now like you reset your binary counter using Triangle Away. But if you like 4.4.2 firmware you can still flash it but without the Knox bootloader. Don't use Kies or OTA to update. Download the firmware from www.sammobile.com and extract the rom .tar.md5 file and remove the Knox bootloader and repack it again to .tar.md5 file and flash it using Odin.

Galaxy S3 does not contain KNOX. And according to Samsung it will never do.

Just to be sure. Does this mean it has no traces of Knox including boot loader and the warranty flag? If so, the second last line in download mode. This was on my GT-I9305

I'm very sure it has Knox, even rooted it but Knox prevented the super user app from gaining root access. But very weird on Samsung side, both identical to each other under the same name except for the LTE and one will have and the other doesn't have.

But flashing anything different from ur model will end up with a brick. Recommend u to go to the correct forum.

Yeah, thanks for the advice, I make sure I flash stuff that are meant for the i9305. Sorry for coming here cause I previously had a i9300 and haven't unsubscribed it in my tapatalk.

Excuse me back but after comments I saw that it could be in / dev / block / but how to extract as adb pull / dev / block does not work because it said special system file
So how to copy or directly modify mmcblk?

Your phone is the LTE version of SIII. And as per your screen shots, it has the KNOX bootloader. If you try to flash anything, note my words, anything then the KNOX warranty will be void forever. It now there is no way to reset the KNOX counter. Don't try to flash anything if your phone is still under warranty. Forget about flashing custom ROMs even rooting will trigger the KNOX counter.
