root only cant falsh kernel or roms..
but with root permissions you can install CWM. And with this you can install what you want
in this guid cwm is already installed. To root/unroot you have to flash these files.
The easiest way to get root and CWM is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399

Is the phone working after the failed flash, or not?
you can also flash cwm recovery(only) from odin separately and then superuser.zip from that recovery.

The Galaxy s3 is an amazing phone love it so much I really want to gain best out of it too. I'm running on jelly bean XELLA 4.1.2 for a while now I want 4.2.2 jelly bean, but before I have to root this jelly bean 4.1.2 XELLA

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

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

Thing is I have mg4 firmware preloaded on my phone when I got it. I see the modem emergency mg4 zip for the imei problem and iv got that on my sd card for if I have no imei after. What I would like to do is make a bkup of my efs folder and make a nandriod Bk up but I not sure if I try to flash root with Odin and flash cwm will I end up with no imei so I wouldn't be able to make a ktool Bk or nandroid Bk up of it?? Can some one pls help me out with this mg4 problem pls.

Really really bad selling. Should say cwm so its cool to root then I can bkup that efs and then install cwm then nand away thank you for the info mate.

Dont use CF root. Read the "understanding the basics" thread. I have linked to the methods you should use.
Can I ask what wrong with cf way? Don't see the link mate?
Sent from my GT-I9300
Link is to cf-root 6.4 which is what I'm trying to do mate. Read that thread. All of it and that's what I'm going bye. So that/I'm wrong to follow that way of rooting? I don't get it
Sent from my GT-I9300
It's out of date and unsupported, use cf auto root then flash recovery after, old cf root will install non sds safe recovery.
Read read read read red.....read some more.....learn learn learn.....read read read....learn learn........only then flash
Out of date. Omg so link is bad then. Ok thank you a lot for the info mate.

Links are
1) You want root only. No custom ROMs, kernels etc. Just root, just to use root apps.
CF Auto Root Via Odin
Why? Tried and tested method, simple to use. No need to choose what exploit you want to use as it's tailored for your device.
What does it do? It gives you a stock recovery (so can't flash things) and roots the Android OS
The Steps:
1) Download the Latest Odin
2) Download CF-Auto-Root for your model
3) Follow These steps to root
In guide on how to flash and first link down takes you to cf-root 6.4 mate.
