Guys I LOVE this site, it is so exciting to know that you can achieve so many things like rooting yourself etc...
My dilemma starts from the fact that I have Samsung Galaxy S3 internatinal verions phone, with already 4.1.1 version and baseband of I9300XXLDID, this baseband you do not come across much like if you want to root, and my fear is that now the Kies is giving update for version 4.1.2 12.11.02.01 but being cautious I am not doing it (my device is rooted but it updates, when you close Kies and leave the small window).
Once updated I will need to root it again but am not finding enough information or help here, even smasung toolbox V6 proposed here does not have any 4.1.2 rooting choice! I searched for online update but I am not sure which package of PDA or PSA to choose.
So do please advise me what to do and how to go about it to have a safe firmware upgrade and not to loose root previledges.
Thank you

That is all about using Odin to flash downloaded ROM's. Searched "Kies" within the thread and still no real answer to my question.
You need to reroot after upgrade usually .

First place to start is by reading all the FAQS and GUIDES#
Second place is to search as you are number one million posting the same question .
Fail to see why you want to root as phone with zero knowledge .
Most used root is
Root + CWM .

i know that it's the most common question but its very complicated with all this stuff. I never ask without any search before
if i dont start to "play" with the phone i ll never learn how it works and all this things.
i know that i have to read and understand the instructions and i have no problem with this.
i have change so many phones and i read so many things
but its my first android so i have to start from somewhere
thanx for the infos !!
My Galaxy s has jsut arrived, I want to flash it with generic firmware without rooting it............for now. Can anyone point me in the right direction of an easy to follow tutorial. Thanks in advance guys
Install Samsung KIES on your PC, connect your phone via USB and open KIES. If there is an update for your firmware it will notifiy you.
You'll also be able to check manually by clicking on 'check for new firmware' or something to that affect on the main screen of KIES.
You won't be able to put on custom roms etc without root
Consider trying this also: On your phone, go to settings --> About Phone --> Software --> Update.
This should check for any latest updates for your phone, although i can't remember this option working for me though. KIES should be fine.

Thanks JJe, very much appreciated. Does it matter which version I download?? I have found I9100XWLP7 in that that thread, does it matter about the modem version?? Im on XXLPQ. Sorry if that sounds like a stupid question if it does, I apologise

No modems are interchangeable and flash able to change via CWM or Odin .
LP8 is reputedly better than LP7 .
LP7 is nearly as good as 2.3.6 .

I was looking deeper than I needed to mate and to be honest, I got a little confused by kernal versions. I was nearly pulling what little hair Ive got left out. Thanks JJe, as long as I get rid of the 3 stuff on my new Galaxy S 2 then Im happy. I do plan to root but only once Ive gotten used to it and have done a little more research
Done, I now have a device with generic FW on it. Will root it tomorrow. That was surprisingly easy
Ive decided to root my phone. Theres quite a choice of rooting guides, which one is the best? I will need an easy to follow giud with everythng I need. Thanks in advance guys, hopefully someone will point me in the right direction
Everything you have asked for is clearly available here... just look around.
Hi
I'm a rooting newbie, and As the title says, I've lost root (I rooted with CF-Auto) after I've downloaded the 4.1.2 Update on S3 via Kies. Is there any way I can restore root.
Many Thanks
Of course you lose root a search would have found multiple same questions .
Root again .

Download ODIN
Download CF-Root for SGS3 v6.4
Unzip folder and Open ODIN
Put phone into Download Mode
Connect Phone to Computer
Click PDA and select the CFROOT file
Press Flash and Voila
Rooting the device and installing a custom ROM are in no way related. You may install a ROM when you wish to do so.
Regarding rooting, there are numerous methods, though I suggest mskip's Toolkit(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488). The simplest and most efficient solution.
Its really a question of reading the faqs and guides until you understand .
The risks of a brick or a problem are then almost non existent .
Read first flash last .
