Flash a ChainFire kernel using odin (follow the links in my signature). Try and keep it close to your current rom / kernel number. Its all in the instructions on their page.
Then flash your new roms either through recovery (follow links in my signature) or using odin.

when you flash a costum ics kernel for cm9 like fluxi, you have root!
for now my rom is official s2 rom for 2.3.6
and in cf-root thread the kernel required for my version is untested
what to do?
can i just flash rooted custom kernel via odin?
and does odin require kies to be installed?

YES if the custom kernel is rooted .
2.for now my phone is not rooded if i install a custom rom with odin will the phone be rooted if that rom has root?
Yes but CWM is normal custom install .
and in cf-root thread the kernel required for my version is untested
what to do? MAKE A DECISION developer does not have time to test every build .
can i just flash rooted custom kernel via odin?
Only if custom kernel is Odin flash most/all are CWM.
and does odin require kies to be installed?
YES or at least Samsung USB Drivers .

Hi
Im kinda new here I have a Galaxy S2 GT-I9100G
Android version 2.3.6
Baseband : I9100GDZKK1
Kernel :2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2
build no :GINGERBREAD.JPKK1
after searching the forums i found two custom ROMS for my phone but both for the kernel DZKJ2 which is also for android 2.3.6.
i have few questions
- what is the best methods for rooting this device and how do i install CWM recovery for the G version ?
- after installing CWM can i install the custom ROM directly or i need to install custom kernel first... and will that custom kernel ruin my phones stock ROM ?
Thanks ...

You follow the instruction thats as simple as it is .
directly or i need to install custom kernel first... and will that custom kernel ruin my phones stock ROM ?
Does not make sense you need to read the FAQS and GUIDES
A custom kernel will no longer be a stock kernel .

Come on dude... I m not that much NOOBISH... But I wanted to flash a ICS ROM on GB... So do i need to install any other ICS kernels particularily?? Or just flashing is enuf rite
Told no kernel required
Either you Can flash from Odin or Cwm
May be talking about rooting kernel to get root plus CWM enabling you to flash custom ICS rom from CWM recovery

Click to collapse
in order to install CM9 rom u have to first root ur Phone using a CF-root Kernel
since Cm9 cannot be flashed with Stock recovery as it needs Custom recovery
so first root ur phone and then install CM9
My phone is already root. (with any PC )
CWM.zip is a ClockWorkMod in a ZIP to load in memory a CWM-recovery 5.X
What is a CF-Root kernel ?

CF- chain Fire-Root kernel will root ur phone and install custom recovery on ur Phone
so if ur phone is already rooted then install the CWM.zip file, then reboot into cwm recovery and install the CM9 zip file
before that in cwm recovery make a nandroid bkp of ur exsisting rom first
and also follow the instructions of flashing CM9 rom carefully form there thread OP
Thanks, i will try in 2 days

You root it using the same method as before, I assume via ODIN, but with an LP7 CF-Root kernel.

Try flashing a PDA which has a CF-root available ( via PC-ODIN).
Then flash the CF root to gain root and CWM.

leaked official 4.1.2 ????
just go sammobile website search and download for your country if you want
else flash any country version also okay
Just use kies, it's safer and easier...
About how much percent ODIN can fail in flashing rom to s3? Still didnt receive updates on KIES so i want to flash it via ODIN. Also how many time ddoes it take for ODIN to complete flashing??
Get the galaxy s3 toolkit. It includes odin and a copy of the stock recovery you can flash.
Flashing the recover with odin takes under a minute. Flashing a complete rom with odin takes about 5 minutes maximum.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

0% fail if you follow the instruction
just need samsung kies (you need the usb driver, not kies because install samsung kies will automatically install the driver also)
and odin and the ROM (in .tar or .tarmd5, depends, confirm is end with .tar and put in pda
and take less than 10 minutes
flashed my s3 via mobile ODIN pro and it worked like a charm.....
Finally flashed my phone, but with mobile ODIN pro. My question is how to get the 4.2 camera on jelly bean 4.1.2 XXELKC. ? Thanx for all your help guys. ..
Flash a custom rom with the mod .
See Android Development Omega rom for one .
Or find the files and push them yourself to the custom rom .
Have a look in Themes and apps and see if its also posted as a standalone mod .

It depends upon the instructions for that rom you need to read them .
But CWM recovery flash is the norm for most custom roms .

Stock Recovery
If you just want the Stock Recovery for example for OTA, just flash the stockrecovery.tar via ODIN. Even I don't like using ODIN too much, but it's a million times better than Kies and easy to use. I personally recommend using ODIN on the PC if possible and avoid Mobile Odin. Mobile Odin is only if you don't have a PC or really need to do something on the go. It's a great app but don't use it all the time. And I'm not sure about this but I think by just flashing the Recovery you won't loose root nor Data, so you save a lot of time!
Only crappy thing with Odin is that it needs TAR and I don't know how to make those excpet with Toolbox. Does anybody know an easy way to make a flashable tar on windows without toolbox or cygwin (linux).

mega bass beat option
I've read about the "flashing mega bass beat option to s3" and it says
-- install zip from sdcard
-- chose zip from sdcard
-- wait for installation to complete
-- wipe cache partition
-- wipe dalvik cache
-- wipe fix permissions
The question is: what will happen if I didn't wipe the dalvik cache?
Do I really need to wipe it?

please help me devs......i would like to root it...either to get a stable international variant ROM.
If you intend to then flash a custom rom then don't bother rooting your stock firmware, all custom roms are already rooted.
If you want to stay stock then flash a prerooted version via odin, get a link for one on xda in general forum.

so...in case if i flash PHILZ RECOVERY or CWM ......without rooting........ will my phone get bricked ???...
Check out Cyanogenmod Installer follow the instrustion it will root and install the latest stable CM for your phone .
You are still missing basic knowledge, you can't flash anything with stock recovery.
Flashing recovery doesn't require root, but you can brick the phone if you don't understand what you are doing.
