[Q] Root+CWM for S3 running Build UBEMA2 (4.1.2 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
I have been trying to find any Root + CWM but I'm not being much successful.
I did found a way to root and then install CWM, but it's not from XDA and I don't feel that is detailed enough for me to trust I won't do any harm.
By any chance anyone would be able to report a working method to end up with Root and CWM on a I9300 running on UBEMA2?
Thanks.
Walter

The weird thing is that the op has joined XDA from 2009 but still don't know common sense. Yeah he might be too lazy to read xda rules but q&a section is right below the general section.

As above, wrong section
Choose one of these methods
If you use cf auto root you will need to flash a recovery after with mobile Odin or Odin

Rooting and ClockworkMod

Hi guys,
I've been furiously reading through the development threads and have come to the conclusion that, IF, my requirements are only to get a rooted phone without all the fancy ROM flashing and Clockworkmod stuff, I just follow the instructions in the AND THERE WAS ROOT thread right?
I just want a simple, rooted phone that allows me to install apps specific for rooted phones, apply themes, etc as I reckon the stock ROM seems sufficient for my needs
All I need to get a rooted phone for these simple requirements is just root the phone with an insecure kernel and then superoneclick my way to Super User access right?
The and there was root thread is definitely the one for you then.

And there is also a question forum for that...

Thanks!
One more question, are the insecure kernels region specific? Most likely my firmware version will be something like DKWE7 (starting with D instead of X as I am in SEA)
Will be ok if I flash with the XKWE kernels right?
Q&A section please.
During your 'furious reading' you obviously omitted to read the XDA rules.

So now that it has been moved to the Q&A section, would you care to answer my question?
Kernel is not region specific .
Modem/radio/baseband /CSC can be region specific as can full firmware .
Root now not the <and there was root > which is now extinct .

I am not clear about the CF-Root v3.7 thread
What does the files do? Is it just flashing an insecure kernel and installing Clockworkmod and super user access root?

pleas help me with my rooting

thank you
the easiest way ( in my opinion ) is to find your baseband version and down load the corresponding cf root file on itratechs thread and flash it in the PDA section in odin

i am a complete newbie with android so flashing and all is not for me i just need root on my device so that i can install few of the application
As Wezza said, CFRoot is the easiest & most hassle-free root method for SGS2. Takes all of 2 minutes, very remote chance of stuffing your phone up so long as you follow the instructions. By your own admission, you're a 'complete newbie with Android', and IMHO, using a method other than CFRoot to root your phone is just making life unnecessarily complicated for yourself.
Just my (and obviously Wezza's) opinion tho.

No problems or insecure kernels. I've got the exact same firmware as you and it worked perfectly for me.

[Q] Real noob regarding root and flashing. Please read and help

Sorry if this a repeat post but I've got a galaxy s2 running 4.1.2 xwlsd and I'm looking to root it and hopefully flash a rom. I have searched through the forum but it's baffling and I can kinda get my head round it a little till I read something else. From what I gather there are 2 ways to root, by odin or from sd card? I assume I need to find the a xwlsd file to load from sd but can only find xwls8. Ive tried to Google how to do it but can find any for that build and the last thing I want to do it brick it. I assume I also need to root to be able to flash a rom on it through odin. Any help and info is appreciated or point me in the right direction thanks.
There are many methods to flash. I am most comfortable with Odin. Its pretty simple and straight forward.
Just download a rooted kernel for your ROM. Siyah or philz is good.
Flash via Odin
Enjoy rooted phone.

You have to use kernel for your version. Search on the forum you will find it. Else google it.
Also, this is a general section, questions are asked in the Q&A section.
Good luck.

Thanks for the reply I think I have found one to root by sd using philz, are there any advantages to using odin rather than load from sd? Oh and when I flash a romantic it has to have the same kernel xwlsd I assume?

ICS and JB - cf-root is the file for both?

Hello guys,
I tried to figure this out but no luck.
Some Kernels, and other downloads (Roms, Recoveries etc) are depends on your Android version (GB, ICS, JB, KK).
What about cf root?
I have i9300, running 4.3
CF-ROOT for ICS and for JB, are the same?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238
CF root stopped development a long time ago .

JJEgan - I am not sure if you here in XDA to help people, or just to talk BLABLA.
But my question was pretty clear, and you just tell me what not, and some other "non matter" stuff.
I read all CF-Auto-Root thread, but it does not say if the CF-Auto-Root works with KK, JB, or ICS.
Or it works with all i9300?
If anyone knows the answer I will appriciate that! (JJEgan - Thanks but you are not helping)

I have used it on ICS and JB. There is no GB for our device and no official KK. KK roms at the moment will come pre-rooted. If and when we get official KK we will know if it works
