Same as windows/system that cannot be edited if not administrator. You cannot touch the system partition without root.
Anyone can you able to upload ota update.zip for my trial

I think you can do this with Mobile Odin Pro.

I used Mobile odin pro flash XX.zar
but it can not open XX.zar maybe it only can flash.tar
you need root to use mobile Odin
Edit.I'm guessing you used the new root only cf?
Flash a recovery using mobile Odin pro and you're done.
I got the apk file of whatsapp, and I renamed to .zip to extract the contents to change the icons by replacing them in the drawable-hdpi folder. Now the problem is that I zipped all the contents and renamed it to apk again but after this the file isn't getting installed (I have uninstalled whatsapp on my phone because we cannot replace it). Any suggestions??

You didn't really need to zip it, if you have a root browser, you can actually extract the apk, do what you wanted to do, and then compress it and change the file name from .zip to .apk.

What root browser are you using? If you are using root browser or root explorer, it shouldn't matter.

OK, extract it as APK, then go to the folder the apk was extracted, change the images or image, then compress, and change file extension (zip to apk). If not, you will have to use apktool.

or just use lgpwn, that's what i did, and u can easily unroot by going into settings on supersu (of course download it off of playstore) and click "Uninstall root Perminantly" or something like that and boom, you're unrooted. And the best part about it is you can go back to root whenever you want and do the same process to get unrooted and you won't damage your device.
I'm not trying to unroot, simply needed the stock System and Meta-Inf files.

You are asking for the whole ROM, just download the kdz or cwm backup.

Will I be able to extract the System and Meta-Inf files? It's only two little files.

Sure but you might need a manager to do it. I created an update.zip file from titanium backup and extracted the meta-inf from there. . .

So you need stock files or just any flashable zip file to get its content? If you want later please download from http://d-h.st/T63
Does anyone have just the stock files? I'm not the best when it comes to kdz's, and the last flashable zip I found wasn't extractable. This is what I'm trying to undo.

I want to change the first image (not boot animation) , you know, the image where gt-s5830i comes.
Is it possible?

Did you mean the Splash screen that says "GT-S5830I Ace"... if yes, then no, but the second one is possible
Can't it be done by modifying kernel?
The image exists in /.Ifs partition

It's possible. Decpmpile boot.img using dsixda kitchen there you'll see logo.rle inside rmdisk folder.
Use championswmimmer kitchen to edit that rle and convert it to png and edit according to your wish then re-convert it back and repack boot.img using kitchen.
That's normally how it's done.
