Easiest way to root is to flash a rooted kernel, such as CF-Root kernel.
Here is the thread => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399&highlight=CF+Root
In Post #8 you will find CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_LPG-v5.5-CWM5.zip which will work fine for your ROM.
Just download this kernel and flash it with Odin to your phone - as described in the first post.
If you want to remove the yellow triangle and reset the flash counter after flashing the CF-Root kernel, just use TriangleAway app from Chainfire (there is a link to it in the first post).
Good luck !

is it poosible to go to previous kernal after rooting?
also if you are planning to use other carrier make sure you have an unlock phone. If not, go to PLay Store and download Galaxy S2 unlock app.
You mean stock kernel? Yes, but only by flashing stock Samsung firmware.

That's not true. You can just flash the stock kernel without flashing the entire firmware.

+1, kernel is independent of rom, u can always flash the same without any issue as long as its compatible

can plz guide me how to do this
Download a stock kernel, flash it in Odin. Not rocket surgery. You got your hand held on the first page & a half of this thread, time for you to do some reading/learning on your own; Stickies.

hey guys .....
i know u may think I am lazy to tell u that but i swear i searched every where to get the solution and u are my last Sanctuary
i have unlocked my bootloader by official method to install cm 10
and now i want to root my device but i try every available method like doomloard, unlockroot and others but unfortunately all of them fail
my question now is
how to install jelly bean at this situation?
thank u
what error are you getting??
Reflash .431..or flash .587 and then try again..
you prolly must hav read this but just in case you havnt..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678690
If you've unlocked your bootloader, just flash a custom kernel. They are already rooted and has CWM recovery.
Have you tried flashing another kernel with fastboot?

if u have a rooted phone, then simply fallow the instruction in the OP of the CM 9.1.0 thread to install the same
and as for 'Kies connection' , No u cannot connect to kies with a custom rom, since it recognises on Stock samsung Firmware

No, the latest Siyah kernel's will not wrk on ur GB
its better for u to upgrade ur phone to ICS 4.0.3 then re-root it using siyah kernel, after that u can install any custom Rom of ur choice

Custom ROM

Hello guys, i found the Android Revolution HD rom pretty awesome,it fits my style(stock, fast etc) but i don`t know how to flash it, i have Galaxy s3 i9300 International version Unbranded never locked on any carrier, firmware 4.1.2 i9300XXEMC2 stock kernel, my phone isn`t even rooted...i had a galaxy s1 and s2 before but im not so experienced with rooting the galaxy s3, in that ROM section how to install it tells me i need Custom Recovery, and now my questions are :
1. how i flash galaxy s3 i9300 ? i found chainfire method but i read that it doesn`t support custom recovery ... so what`s the method?
2. wich version i must flash ? what are the differences ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797334 the 25.0 or 35.5 version?
HEEEELP ! PLEASE
If you read both chainfires thread and the revolution thread properly then all is completely clear.....don't skim it....read them both PROPERLY ....if you can't be bothered to do this then the chances are you will brick your phone
I just read the revolution thread and found the answer within 1 minute
I know Chainfire thread is 100% clear
This site is not for this

if i want to install philz touch recovery i must be rooted first or i can install it straight ahead?
You can use Odin to flash it directly.

you can flash via odin i think. otherwise, use cf method then flash philz in recovery
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
My routine is this (I use cf root)(old recovery included)
Flash cf root
Update to Phil's with either Odin or mobile Odin or through recovery
Job done
