I think the important part is the right ROM link for OTA updates! i've tryed many different SI numbers today but all of them was not supporting OTA at the moment..
Thanks lebartman!

But you first have to flash ics. Sorry but calling it easy root is just wrong. Easy is pushing a button and getting root like on ics.

Rooting should never be easy. Cause it was intended for someone who really wants it.
I love easy, like for example, what bin4ry has done. But, if the hard way is what possible now, then the hard way it is
Thanks for the guide
EDIT :
wait a minute, by OTA do you mean download via phone?
Can it have a same result when updating via PCC or SUS?
and 2nd EDIT : just letting you know, the ftf you provided gives me a bootloop. I chose not to wipe data. Maybe will give different result when all is wiped. Dont know

Well, I think that the explanation in this thread is way more useful than the one that you quote, in which you magically get OTA update to JellyBean, I tried both and it was this that worked for me. I suggest to update the info in your thread with this explanation, unless you want to create some kind of "noob wall" to prevent non experts from getting root on their devices (mostly kidding).

Just one thing..
This method works also with superuser only (ota rootkeeper is not necessary).
I followed this way:
-flash the old ICS rom posted by lebartman (thanks again)
-root that rom using the old bin4ry tool for rooting ICS (or flashtool, I think it's the same, the important is having superuser after the root)
-update superuser to the last version using play store (most important!!)
-use the features that are also directly inside the last superuser: first check OTA survival, then check also temp unroot (both are in the info panel of superuser)
-update to JB via OTA update
-after the complete update, uncheck temp unroot in superuser
-Done (JB rooted and all 100% working!!)
My 2 cents.

Fine thanks

U checked it? I guess this is the easiest method till now.. Also, will "Enable Superuser" in setting of SuperSU app do the job in same way for those who want SuperSU instead of superuser?

Yes, I've check it. Regarding supersu, I think u can simply install it after rooting and then remove superuser..

Merci pour m'avoir mentionné dans l'OP, @lebartman.
For the moment, there are two working methods to get root for JB: this one, and flashing the prerooted ROM. For those who can't live with that and want a more simple one-click method: be patient, do not rush anybody, sometimes someone will come out with an easier way.
