Have a look here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487, if you want to flash the ROM yourself with Odin.
Alternatively you can try to let Kies update the firmware, if it recognizes your phone.
Or try OTA update driectly on your phone.
Good luck !
P.S.: As I like to have always the newest ROM and need root for some apps, I recommend to flash latest pre-rooted ROM from here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1608071. But it's your choice.

Do i have to get my ohone rooted for the pre rooted rom?

Have a look at that noobs topics.This is the 3rd time youve helped him and its in one ear and out the other.
You post a link and he asks if he needs to be rooted.Just shows he cant be bothered reading it when it says you dont need to be rooted.
He is obviously not prepared to read the rules nor read guides in his own time.
So can someone please report him to Crachel/any moderator.

It is on the phone browser. But you have to sign in to see it. It doesn't appear if you aren't signed in.

Right enniocharchar, i have locked your other 3 threads asking the same question as you are here, may i point out that you can only start one thread to ask a question, asking the same question across multiple is against XDA rules and with this question being a simple how to root your phone question a simple search would have found you all the answers needed.

You seem to have one disaster after another! Why don't you - sorry, your friend - just use the phone and stay stock. It is very good as is. You are not experienced enough to do any of this.
I realise you only learn by trying, but there is a limit... you may be on a one-way road to Bricksville

[Q] please help i cant get into recovery mode on my gs3

When i rooted my phone the first time this screen started coming up so i unrooted it to get it away but it still there how do i get rid of it
Your post show that:
-you are able to write
-you are NOT able to read
This will come up because of the flash counter on the phone, you need to buy an app called "Triangle Away" in the app store, that will solve your problem
Just beware of the model number while flashing anything from here.

Hi! as what th guy above me said, use TriangleAway. This will also remove that yellow triangle with an !
Or, if you have root now. you may flash another kernel via odin.
i hope this helps cheers!

Well firstly, please use common sense and write logical topic titles. "Pls help" and other such silly titles mean absolutely nothing to people who are browsing the forum. Titles are supposed to be descriptive, ie describe the topic briefly.
Secondly you cant have looked very far because there is plenty of ICS based kernels in the Dev area. Just go grab the Siyah kernel and flash via ODIN and your done.

It's the link to Siyah kernel download site. Scroll down and find Siyah for S2 ver 4.1.5. Choose TAR ver (as you prefer).
That's it.

Maybe the forum rules arent displayed clearly enough. Should have an individual prompt message for each rule when someone is registering.
Then again, some would still not get it. Its fighting a losing battle.

The prompt before you post a thread is a good idea. But yeah, you're probably right, people would ignore it anyways.

No. This method gives a recovery that could allow the phone to get bricked. It is no longer supported
OP, please read "[ref] read before rooting" in my signature first.

really? do you believe that you're the first person to ask for a rooting guide? you're not, which means you shouldn't have posted, but instead followed one of the guides on xda, which are easily found. hell, there's a link on the section list page.

Depends when you rooted. The bug was only identified in November and fixes only released in January
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Really you should follow an xda guide, no point in linking to another site....if you have a query about their method you should address them, I can guarantee their method is copy/paste or rewrite of an xda post anyway.

Hi there,
You might want to check out samsung galaxy III toolkit here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488.
It is a fairly easy to understand command tool which will root your phone and also install custom recovery (which is essential IMO if you want to try different ROMs later on).

I don't really think you can root your phone with a stock ROM
The way to root via odin is with a kernel.
if you don't know how, i recommend http://galaxys2root.com/
No disrespect intended....but forget galaxys2root.com........all the info you need can be found right here on XDA......and the chances are that 'other' websites got their info here anyway.......
As previously mentioned.....rooting with a custom kernel is your best bet......
Some kernels require flashing via Odin, but at least one can be flashed via the stock recovery.....
You can also use chainfires cf root.
Read some of the 'stickeyed' threads under the various S2 forums for links to the info you need.

arnt you supposed to have partion checked also.to root mine i used a program called qick root then i flashed Mytic Glory v5.0. works like a beauty

Here's a quick guide for you good look I hope it helps http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCgncF59mwE
No, you're not supposed to have repartition ticked. Do you want people to end up with busted phones or something ?

actually i heard about this website before i knew about xda. so thats why i recommended it
So ? It's a bit much to expect most people here to help bozos who insist on using stuff from other sites when every method to do every thing you could ever want to do with this phone can be easily found here & people can easily get help if they get stuck.
This is the point that was clearly lost on you.

Hmm i'm not totally clear on what you're trying to say.
I know there are lots of methods to root at xda, but as i used it myself and was very confident while using their guides i just recommended it insted of looking for a good root method here. ( i haven't searched for any in xda as it's unnecessary)
And as most of guided are originated from xda as keithross said, we can easily help the person whether the guide is from xda or elsewhere.
The points that mistahbungle and I are making are...
1) the OP is here on XDA.
2) YOU are here on XDA
3) all the info that the OP needs is here on XDA.
And yet here you are, referring the OP AWAY from XDA......
What's the point in that?
And for info.....everything I looked at on that website has or appears to have been kanged straight from XDA anyway.....including rom and kernel assets (I think alliance rom and jeboo kernel to name just two were created by devs who posted them on XDA)......without mention of XDA or the devs who actually did all the hard work to create the software........not exactly showing support for the community, is it?
