So, I want to root my galaxy Mega 6.3 using this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2355680) method, but I am unsure if it will brick my device or not.
My details are:
Baseband version: 19205XXUAMF3
Build number: JDQ39.I9205XXUAMF3
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-651213
[email protected] #1
Also, do I need to unlock my bootloader before using this method? If so, how can I do that?
Thanks in advance,
Simon

You won't brick anything. Just follow instructions and use latest Odin. Flash the rooted kernel and you're done.
I prefere You make this:

Hi All,
I tried install some firmware from Samfirmware, now my phone is currently sitting at ;
------------------------------------------------------------------
Android-version: 2.3.5
Basebandversion: I9100XXKI4
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7.I9100XWKI8-CL616395 [email protected] #2
Compile number: GINGERBREAD.XWKI8
------------------------------------------------------------------
I cannot get Market Enabler or anything to work now, does this mean my phone is no longer rooted. If so, how do I get it rooted again with this firmware?, do I need to install another full firmware set or is there a root kernel available.
OR, do I just need to do something else to enable the rooting process ?
Cheers Guys....

ICS 4.03 is safe. Do not update it to 4.04 official rom. You can easily root your phone and install CWM recovery. Then flash a custom 4.0.4 ROM or whatever you like. For a start i suggest this rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1824586

I installed the GALAXSIM Unlock but it says: Either your nv_data md5 file in inexistent/wrong or samsung md5 function has changed. Stopping here to prevent eventual errors.
It just defines my Device Model: GT-I9100 and all other things (IMEI,Nv/country, Nv data consistency, Network lock...etc are UNDEFINED.
so what should I do?

First off, download Root checker from playstore and see if you are rooted.
Back up EFS with kTool.
If so try installing Busybox* (Version 1 / Version 2) and keep it running in background (home button). Then install Galaxy S unlock and run it.
*If one version doesn't work, try the other one. Remember to keep it running in background.
solved
Yes even it was rooted, it didnt work so I rerooted through ODIN and installed/rooted another CF_ROOT version. Now it works great!
First of all, let me tell you about the phone:
Rooted: Yes
Carrier: C Spire
Model #: SCH-R760
Android Version: 2.3.6
Baseband Version: S:R760.01 K.FI24
Kernal Version: 2.6.35.7-SCH-R760.XARFF24-CL1125314 [email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XARFI24
Hardware Version: R760.01
I am wanting to upgrade to JellyBean and install CyanogenMod. I am not sure how to or what versions of these two I need to download. Could someone explain and set me on a straight path? Thank you.

Honestly I don't want to upgrade to Jellybean if it's not necessary. I just need to know how to install CyanogenMod and which version I need for my phone. Cheers

First you need to flash a CM kernel(it will be given in the CyanogenMod Roms thread) then through CWM flash CM 10(for 4.1.2) or CM 10.1(for 4.2.2).
Edit :
DELETED links since I didn't notice your model number before , and I can't find any official cm versions for SCH-R760. Try searching harder for ported versions.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
And don't bump posts after 8 hrs (after 24 hrs is acceptable). You make a thread or a post & wait patiently for an answer.
And you need to understand that because you have a relatively obscure phone few people who hang around I9100 Q&A have, it's only natural that you're going to wait a lot longer for that help for the most part unless it's something generic/that applies to most Samsung phones.

actually, for installing custom roms you really dont need to bother about your firmware details only your device make and model
unless you need to flash stock roms
if you are not rooted then search for siyah kernel(safest way to start) and flash it via odin
you can find the details in the forum
then flash the custom rom via recovery
