Good day all,
I know pretty much the basics how to root a phone - My question is; Since the newly update of Jelly Bean on my Bell Samsung Galaxy S2 HD Lte, it seems like I can only find the ICS Root zip. That being said, I still manage to root my phone but with ICS. Somehow it worked.... Any available Root for the new upgrade to Jelly Bean ? Believe me, I've been looking for an hour yesterday online and no luck.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Anyone ?
have u tried by using flashing method to upgrade the build system?

thanks for the reply - I'm not that technically inclined enough to know what you're talking about. All I know is that I rooted my phone with a zip that had _ics.zip. I'm currently running 4.1.2 Jelly Bean but somehow the root worked. But I'd feel better if there's a version that had the jelly bean support root. Sorry if I'm not making much sense here.
I believe that there might be a rooter directly for JB user. Especially u use Samsung tab. Try to find it out in sub forum of XDA about Official info of Samsung

Hi chaps,
I just manually updated my wife Nexus S to ICS 4.0.3 using these rather easy instructions, and it was a massive success!
http://www.androidcentral.com/how-manually-update-your-gsm-nexus-s-ice-cream-sandwich
Is there such an easy method for the S2 yet?
unfortunately there is no such method yet
Thanks chaps,
Is there a different method for doing it yet, maybe using odin out something?

Nexus S is Google's own product
Samsung galaxy s2 is Samsung's product so we have to wait for update in q1 of 2012 it could be anytime between 1jan - 31st march 2012

There currently isn't a fully functional version yet. They all have bugs and are pending another official release.
You can keep yourself posted here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402431
They have video tutorials for flashing the ROM in the thread. I wouldn't do it until they get the microphone and camera working.
Good luck

The software has to exist for the SGS2 first before you can flash it in. At the current time, Samsung has not yet released ICS for it.
It was easy for the Nexus S because Google develops and released ICS for it directly.
Me too, I have managed to flash ICS Aphal 13 version many times, but it seems no effect, the instruction is not so clear for me. I hope that they will issue the easiest way for us when the official ICS from Samsung issues.
Indeed How I Wish Samsung Does The Same..
I used a guide I found on this forum a while ago to jailbreak my GSIII, and now the phone is asking me to update it (to Jelly Bean). Do I allow it to do that considering my phone is jailbroken, or would I need to wait for a jailbroken version of Jellybean to hit these forums and then update it that way?
which method did you use to root your phone?

Jailbreaking is an iOS/iPhone term and it is quite different from rooting. Not trying to be facetious, just knowing that will help you find answers in the future.

One OTA may fail during install due to root .
Remove root or update via KIES .
jailbroken version of Jellybean to hit these forums and then update it that way
All versions can be rooted non are jailbroken at source .

Just let it update and root it again if needed.
Funny when I read the "Jailbreak" word LOL
anyways, you can just download any LEAKED or the Official one of JB and flash it.
I thought you want to upgrade iphone to Jellybean

lol. like this..
LOL, whoops. I go to a film school where everything is Macintosh and iPhones (I'm the oddball there), so I guess I picked up on their nomenclature.
If I remove the root and go back to factory, will that erase my data? If not, do I do that first, then download a rooted version of JB from here? And if so where would I find it? Search brings up tons of threads and I don't know what to go with. ^_^;;

Sorry, I'm really confused with all this terminology... I'm very new to all of this since the GS3 is my first smartphone. When I first got my phone, I searched for how to root it and installed a rooted version of the OS that was stripped of some of the bloatware apps. I used the instructions in this thread, though I'm not sure what I installed and what I used (though Odin sounds familiar to me... maybe I used that). Basically I don't understand what I'm using on my phone right now and what I'm supposed to do to get the newer version of the OS that is also rooted.
EDIT: BTW, my phone model is SCH-I535 running Android version 4.0.4.

You are in the wrong forum, this is for the I9300, not the I535. I think that is the Verizon model. Try going to the forum for Verizon SIII, might get more specific advice on your phone and what to do.
Hi Guys,
I just bought a new Galaxy S3 here in New Zealand and before I start using it, I want to update it to the latest version, I believe 4.1.2 and then root it, can this be done? whats the best option for me? I see the Galaxy Toolkit to do the rooting, is this the most popular/best ?
Also after rooted, can I still do the OTA updates or will I have to flash custom roms?

If 4.1.2 was not yet launched in NZ, then you will not get any update for your phone at the moment.
What you could do is, root your phone and then install the 4.1.2 version (Poland)(root is not required for flashing though). For rooting refer to the stickies in general section. Popular methods are CF-Root 6.4 (incl. CWM as recovery) or CF-Auto-Root (keeps stock recovery) (both can be found in dev. section).
After rooting you will not be able to get OTA updates though, whereas KIES should still work (but you will loose root if you update).
In addition, make sure to read all the stickies and guides for rooting before you touch anything! Especially the EFS backup procedure.
I hope it helps.
Rooting your phone voids it from getting OTA updates.

As said above 4.1.2 is still not available in NZ. So you can flash other ones (like Poland) if needed.

After rooting OTA updates will not work. But you can still get the firmware and flash them through Odin. This will remove root and will have to go through the rooting procedure again.
I feel samsung will release 4.1.2 for other regions soon and my suggestion would be to wait for that and then go ahead with rooting
You don't need to root your phone to install an official firmware!

Thanks guys yeah 4.1.2 does not look like its been released yet, I'll wait for it to come out then root cheers!
I used to wait for offical releases, then realised there was no need - the custom ROMs are far better than the official and much faster at new releases than regional Samsung rollout. They also get rid of the battery sapping bling most people only use the once.
If you are going to root anyhow, then the warranty isn't a concern.
Just had bad experiences with 3rd-party ROM's. Had a Desire Z and ran about 5 different roms, cyanogen, gingerbread and ICS variants, mimcry, ilwt, extreme mod, and none of them seemed to run very well after a few weeks of use. The stock ROM on this galaxy is flying like no tomorrow! especially after simply disabling the garbage apps

I'll admit that Samsung could teach HTC quite a few things about writing a good ROM, I'm sticking with customs of the stock jb 4.1.2 for now as it all works so well and saves me having to remember what needs disabling. I tried a few minimalist roms before sticking with the viking one.
I've got a 4.1.2 in NZ but that's because my phone bricked and they updated it when fixing it(4.1.2 supposed to have the fix for bricking)

Hi
I rooted my 6 month old S3 this week to get Jelly Bean as TMobile UK aren't releasing it until March by the looks of things.
Rooted the phone no trouble and installed the official Samsung 4.1.2 OS on the phone which is working perfectly.
However, I've just discovered it's not possible to use Sky Go, which I use every day, on a rooted phone. Judging by other peoples questions and posts about it, there's no work around for it either.
What I want to do is remove the root access to my phone and return it to normal, but keep Jelly Bean. I've no interest in or use for having the root access, it was just to get JB.
Is there an easy way to restore this? I'm hoping there's a nice straightforward way of doing it as I've got the official Samsung OS rather than a custom one.
Thanks!
Try triangle away. You might have to do a wipe to get "normal" device status

nope doesn't work I'm afraid.
Then try flashing the same firmware? Should leave it unrooted. I'm not sure if sky go checks device status when checking for root.

Ok got a question?
First off I am by no means new to the android dev community as I have developed a rom for the sgs-II for At&t before my when in the toilet, anyways I am now on a Telus Samsung galaxy note I717D running:
Android 4.1.2
Baseband Vers. i717dTLMD1
Kernel Vers. 3.0.31-1112295
Build number: JZO54K.I717DTLMD1
TWRP RECOVERY
The phone is not rooted as far as it tells me however I am able to flash any rom I want through twrp recovery. anyways I am using tmobile sim
the question is this has any one flashed a tmobile or at&t modem/radio onto a Telus phone with any luck? if not any recommendations on getting better signal cause mine is **** at this point when I switched my sII to tmobile my signal was pretty decent not the best but still good.
Ok so after a couple of days and np responses i guess i am off to expirment city and will try what i ever o get my hands on and will report back to let others know

Hi, I was wondering if you have found anything with this? I also have the Telus Note i717D on the 4.1.2 Jelly Bean and am having a hard time finding a working root.

Hi there,
From my understanding of your comment you're trying to root your phone correct? If so, I can suggest you check http://www.kingoapp.com. The reason why I suggest it is because it's pretty easy to do; it is how I rooted my i717. Check it out and if you'd like try it.. it's kind of like a one click root way to go about rooting your phone, if you'd like to try obviously.
Cheers,
