Always use the latest version and always search before you post. A less understanding person would have shouted at you for this. The first post of the CF thread explains that CF-Root for the SGS3 is not a kernel like the SGS2 but simply root and recovery so is therefore not firmware specific.

Please just read and search before making a thread.

..and also- its best just to use the existing thread. Its ok to ask that kind of question the that respective thread, rather than create a new one.

Two threads in eleven minutes from two different users asking the same, unbelievably basic question. Asking of which is clear admittance of breaking the rules (rule 1). So to ensure I'm in adherence to the rules (rule 10), I post the below to be helpful.

It's not possible. Many skillful developers are working hard to crack it, but Samsung's protection is just too hard to crack, it seems. If you somehow still find people, saying that it's possible, don't believe them, they are trying to trick you. All the existing "working" methods are just going to break your phone.
Ok, now on a serious note, it's possible, but I really wouldn't advise you to do that, regarding your... erm... "mental capabilities" in challenging situations.
being a bit helpful here
why do you want to root do you know why you are rooting ???
Please understand rooting voids your warranty .

I'm currently using Wanam's ICS ROM. Current kernel is LPB. I wanna change to LP6 kernel as it is more stable. Does anyone know where to find the list of kernels?

difference between android development and original development is simple. android development is roms basically with a slap on theme on it and original is well original.
read this thread here for better explanation between the two
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1175660
as regarding unlocking bootloaders you do not have to as it is already unlocked..all you have to do is flash a cf-root kernel from chainfires thread.
here are links to help you better

If i use cf root to root my galaxy s3 i9300 will i be able to flash a custom rom? It says that the cf root was intended to be used with stock firmware in the main thread. Also how safe is it? If i follow the steps exactly as instructed what are the chances the phone will brick?
Thanks

Yes you will.
It means it is meant to be used to root a stock Rom, after that you can do what you like. Cf root is extremely safe if you follow the instructions, which are very simple. If you do that you won't brick your phone

Thanks for your quick reply. I have one more question though. Does it matter that my phone is locked and carrier branded? I always thought it had to be fully unlocked and unbranded to root and stuff. Thanks!

No, you only need to unlock if you want to use a different network, won't affect it otherwise
My question is after rooting and not changing anything else will you still be able to get the updates. I remember with the bionic I cou ld but not with the tbolt.
are you carrier branded as in US Carrier branded or something else?
If you're talking about a US Carrier branded phone, then you're in the wrong place. This is specifically for the i9300, not any other version. There are appropriate forums for your specific phone.
If you do have the i9300, then do as slaphead says. you're all set.

Oopsie daisy.... I could've sworn I read the whole thread from start to end.. Not sure how I missed that..
I think the word "carrier branded" set of red flags in my head since I was only recently reading about someone who tried to flash an i9300 rom with their sprint s3.
just wanted to make sure and not have to see another brick.

Hi guys,
I have a samsung galaxy s2 and i need to root this phone. It is running ics 4.0.4. I read in the threads that rooting 4.0.4 will cause trouble.
Is there any other way to root other than downgrading to 4.0.3
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance guys

Flash Odin version of Siyah kernel (search for how to/which kernel you need to use). Done. Rooted phone + CWM, you can flash whatever you like/wipe till your bum gets red.

What thread/reply have you been reading because their talking crap or you have mis-read/misunderstood.
To root your device, install cwm all you need to do is flash Siyah kernel via ODIN or one of other various ways. This has already been discussed over and over again so we dont need yet another topic just to repeat everything again.
#1 rule by XDA is to search and read topics before creating them.
