If you are on gingerbread then check this out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
If you are on ICs then check this out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
download the one you flash through ODIN and this will root your phone and give you extra options on your recovery, one being install zip from sd card which allows you to flash a rom
Remember google is your friend.

Thanks for the link
I am completly lost now.
I managed to root my phone last year without any problems but now it's all going over my head
Its fairly easy when you have done it a few times. You need to grab the version of cf root that corresponds to the firmware on your phone (settings/about phone)
Then boot odin, connect your phone and than flash the CF root into the PDA section, thats it..nothing else. Then reboot the phone.
Instructions - ODIN (long)
- Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!
- Unzip the attached CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.zip
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start ODIN
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.tar
- Put your phone in download mode
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure repartition is NOT checked
- Click the START button
- Wait for the phone to reboot
- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)

Dont fret it will get sorted, just think laterally and read, read again then read agin to make sure you got it. That link will tell you all you need to know on rooting and getting the cmw working.
Good luck!

Done but the kernel is the same as before, don't understand why as I have flashed a couple through Odin.
Should I just flash a new Rom? If so what's the best?

If you are referring to the CF-Root post, then you didn't do it right. Not trying to be mean or a jerk... but if you followed the instructions to the letter, then you would have root, and you would have CWM recovery.
1: rom manager dont work on GS2
2: if you flashed cf-root using odin you should have cwm and cwm menu and Su in files when you reboot.
3: when you say recovery not working what do you want to do?
Did you flash the appropriate kernel?
I had the exact same issue when I first rooted my phone using superoneclick. I then did a cf-root and everything worked well so there is something you must be doing wrong...

i have been searching for days and i cannot seem to find the modem for kj4 in TAR format. i have tried the websites that convert zip to tar and they do not convert where odin can read it.
What options do i have without flashing a custom kernal with CWM on it?
i have my stock 2.3.4 minus the bloatware running now and i do not want to change that as my battery life has been perfect and bug free.
Correct me if im wrong but all i need is to have the phone rooted and ODIn can flash the modem in for me?
i've tried to get CWM without flashing and apparently it cant be done.
invest in the PRO version of mobile Odin from the Play Store. Mobile Odin will flash files without changing the flash counter, too.
Here's a link to a stock kernel that has cwm. you can flash this with mobile odin, then flash whatever you want from either cwm or mobile odin
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285823
If you're rooted, just flash the zip file, look for the modem in the modems thread in development
Edit: sorry, somehow the last part of your post didn't register in my head, lol, try the pro version of mobile Odin like mentioned above

this will work for any gingerbread: 2.3.4, 2.3.6. Just download the file (about 6 megs i think), put it on your internal sd card, open mobile odin, choose kernel, select it from your internal card, go down to "flash firmware" in mobile odin and flash it. you will now have cwm recovery, then you can flash your modem from cwm.
I have never flashed a modem from mobile odin do I don't know what type of file it will need to flash kj4.
no. you don't have to do a data wipe.

scratch that. cwm is on here but it cannot do anything. even the reboot system option doesnt work. i installed rom manager thinking it would help but that puts the phone into download mode.
i tried the flash modem with mobile odin but it wont find the modems that i have one the device. im assuming it only read TAR files. so im still back to square one.

avoid Rom Manager at all costs. just put the zip of the kj4 on your sd card. boot into recovery (hold both volume buttons and power button at the same time until you see the SAMSUNG splash screen. choose zip from sd card and flash.

I unzipped the file and did the bin file on mobile Odin. It finally worked so I didn't need cwm which by the way doesn't work on my phone for whatever reason. I installed it from two different kernels but when I select an option the screen just sits there. Turns out kj4 sucks for me so I'm going to go try another one. My battery life had gone down with this modem.

I'm running IML74K.UCLd3, kernel 3.0.8 and android version 4.0.3.
For some reason, that ROM flashes fine. When I try to flash att_note_root.tar in Odin to get root, it all seems to go fine, then I can't boot the phone at all. It took a few tries to get back into download mode. The only thing I could do to boot the phone up was to flash the ROM again. So I still don't have root.
How can I:
Get root
Reinstall my apps (I have a Titanium backup)
Will installing old apps mess the new ROM up?
Do I need a new kernel?
I've been told to flash CWM to get root, but I don't know which version to flash.

Yup...did follow the instructions. What I could NOT do was to reboot into recovery mode to finish the job. Held down vol up/down and power till the screen went black, the released vol up and power. All it did was put me in the yellow triangle screen with the options of vol down to reboot or vol up to download. No way to access recovery mode.
You let go of the wrong button...
All three buttons till you feel a vibrate..Then let off the POWER BUTTON

I will flash stock rom then I will try again to do android revolution hd 2.2.0 ( the step I missed is about creating a virtual ssd )
I will come with an update if the flash stock rom through odin works.
Checkrom comes in two versions,one is Odin flashable,flash that.then u are rooted after flashing
Next time u use superwipe remember to move the rom to EXTERNAL SD-card ,because internal SD-card is wiped.
Weird..odin exits after a while it says Please wait then it quits,while trying to flash stock rom,what's the problem?
I found a way to put the rom back there,but it is in sdcard,and I cannot enter it ( cannot mount )
How can I solve this from the recovery mode? I am still stuck in recovery mode or download mode..and the rom is on the card now,but cannot access to flash it with cwm
Why do not you just boot?
Previous rom is there but wiped and restored.
I do not think that superwipe was made to empty system from the rom.

The rom had to be put on a virtual/external sdcard,but because I didn't read carefully I put it on sdcard aslong with superwipe,so after I launched superwipe it deleted the sdcard files and the stock OS too,so it just says samsung galaxy siii like before it boots,but it stays that way..
I don't know how to get into the sdcard,cwm recovery says it cannot mount it,sdcard contains my rom,and because I cannot access it,I cannot flash it..I need a way to help cwm to mount sdcard,so I can flash it from there..
Otherwise I tried flashing stock rom but odin crashes,like I press start,then it says check md5 then Please wait,it gets stuck and quits..
Which recovery do you have? Is it the touch cwm?

Then i need to tell you that you must flash through Odin a full rom then reroot and then flash again a custom rom of your choice.
Just make sure every time you flash with Odin nothing from Kies runs in the background. Otherwise Odin flash will fail or stuck.

Then i need to tell you that you must flash through Odin a full rom then reroot and then flash again a custom rom of your choice.
Just make sure every time you flash with Odin nothing from Kies runs in the background. Otherwise Odin flash will fail or stuck.

Do you have teamviewer and know some hidden processes from kies? I even uninstalled kies and let the normal usb drivers be installed

What's the problem?
Its checking md5, that takes a few minutes.
Boot into download mode (volume down+home+power, press up when it says are you sure) then flash via Odin.
Its simple.

Ok,thanks a lot Back to stock..now I will try to run the custom rom again,can someone help me via skype or something through the steps? I don't want to make the same mistake again..
I'm on the stock leaked ROM & kernel. I hear that Philz kernel has some added functionality but dodgy with nandroid backups. Can anyone confirm this? Are there any other kernels yet which are better for this?

apart from 'Philz' kernel no other Custom kernels will wrk with Stock JB leak ma8
OK thanks for that. Guess I'll have to wait. I really want to be able to do a nandroid backup in case things screw up and I have to spend ages restoring everything.
I never had problem with backups on Philz kernel. At least for me to do backup and restore working well.
Can't seem to install this! Just tried flashing the latest - PhilZ-cwm6-XXLSJ-OXX-3.70 - using Mobile Odin. It just reboots the phone and the kernel isn't flashed. Tried it twice with/without the md5 tag but didn't work either time. What am I doing wrong?

Is your phone rooted properly in order to use mobile odin. Else flash the philz .tar.md5 in download mode via odin.

Well, it's rooted - not sure about properly. I flashed a file (posted on XDA) which rooted it after flashing the ROM. Everything appears to be rooted - Superuser, Busybox, etc
Problem is I can't use Odin cause I'm on a Mac so I have to use the mobile version.

Download root checker in playstore,to configure if your phone is rooted properly. Or find a windows pc to flash the kernel via odin..

Your rooted for sure, i also flash that update.zip on recovery,but the thing is you cant flash a kernel via mobileodin.. i dont have an experience of flashing fw,kernel on M .O,but i read somewhere many users experiencing issues when using that,thats why i prefer windows odin. im not saying dont use M.O.. but if you want a guaranteed flashing just used odin for windows.

OK cheers.
Just out of interest I just booted into recovery <3e> and I get an error message in red at the bottom:
"E:Failed to seek in /cache/update.zip )invalid argument)
E:signature verification failed"
I'm confused. Does this refer to the root "update.zip" or to the kernel which didn't flash?

What does mobile odin says when you flash the kernel lately?and did you rename this
http://download.chainfire.eu/267/SuperSU/CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip?retrieve_file=1 to update.zip? Before you flash as an update in external storage?

Yes, I renamed it "update.zip" before moving it to the ex SD and flashing it.
When I try and flash Philz kernel, it selects OK in Mobile Odin but when I press "flash" the phone just reboots normally, not into recovery and the kernel isn't flashed.

Did you try to download the file again? Download the kernel again,make sure it is finished,and flash it again.. mybe the file you download earlier is unfinished or interupted.
