http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
I had Rooted in 4.1.2 with SuperSu on it , Now after update in 4.3 I still have SuperSU but when i open it says:
If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root .
now i need to know if i have to root again with This : CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4
or there is another method ?
here is Screenshot , setting/about.
Don't use cf root. please re-read general > sticky roll-up > understanding the basics before rooting

So i need to User CF-Auto-Root , but again im not sure if CF-Auto-Root works with Android 4.3
Avoid using CF-root as support has been dropped long ago. Use PhilZ Kernel to root your phone. It automatically installs root + custom touch-based recovery and works like a charm.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2002953
However since you're already on 4.3 you'll have to reflash a 4.1.2 ROM before flashing any of the PhilZ kernels as they are not yet built on the 4.3 kernel source code. You may get a boot loop if you attempt to flash it while running 4.3.

OK one more question .
Does it Depend on version of Android , Root process ?
example : is it same way to root 4.1.2 and 4.3 with same tools ?

1) philz is a recovery not a kernel
2) it does not automatically root anything. You have to flash a zip via philz recovery.
This is all documented in post 2 of the thread you linked

There aren't any rooting methods for SGS3 running 4.3 yet as it is new. But seeing how 4.3 introduced new security updates which broke root on some devices. The method of rooting the S3 on 4.3 may change as well though I'm not sure by how much. But rooting methods with regards to 4.1.2, yes they are the same.

Whoops my bad. I've always thought of PhilZ as a safe kernel with recovery and root the moment you flash it.
In any case, OP should still use it.

someone who knew what he was talking about said you shouldn't use chainfire's method on 4.3. Listen to him.
The fact that it worked for you doesn't mean that it'll work for everyone. SO DON'T GIVE ADVICE.
So you're not the person who knows what he's talking about? Maybe your answer would be more useful if you could explain why not to use SuperSU in stead of just telling other people not to five advice. Or don't give advice yourself.

As long as the ROM & CSC are correct you can update a rooted phone through Kies, as far as I am not wrong, whereas you will loose root and have to re-root. What is not working is the OTA update if you are rooted.
Hence the easiest solution is to download the ROM via sammobile or XDA and flash it via Odin or better Mobile Odin (to keep root).

As I mentioned, Mobile Odin is the easiest way as you just select the rom and it flashes incl. root injection. For Odin, simply download the rom you would like to flash (e.g. stock rom from sammobile or prerooted from XDA's general section), and follow the usual steps (e.g. there are easy videos to follow on YouTube & there are many guides in the general section). If you chose to flash a rom that is not yet rooted you will need to flash CF-Auto-Root of CF-Root again.

got it! another question if you don't mind, can i use stock rom using odin without unrooting my device? some people say that if you try to flash your device with official stock rom might unroot phone? is this true or just using odin will prevent your phone from unrooting? no matter what rom you would use. thanks in advance!

there are two ways:
(1) Odin (desktop version): if you flash a stock rom (normal version, not rooted), it will be not rooted, hence you have to root again
(2) Mobile Odin (Adroid Play Store): if you flash a stock rom (normal version, not rooted), you have an option to inject root and directly root it in the process of flashing the rom

I see, the mobile odin i guess is suited for me. since i dont want to unroot my device i just want to update it.
you can always reroot it afterwards. Or better yet, flash a prerooted ROM
Hello guys, i found the Android Revolution HD rom pretty awesome,it fits my style(stock, fast etc) but i don`t know how to flash it, i have Galaxy s3 i9300 International version Unbranded never locked on any carrier, firmware 4.1.2 i9300XXEMC2 stock kernel, my phone isn`t even rooted...i had a galaxy s1 and s2 before but im not so experienced with rooting the galaxy s3, in that ROM section how to install it tells me i need Custom Recovery, and now my questions are :
1. how i flash galaxy s3 i9300 ? i found chainfire method but i read that it doesn`t support custom recovery ... so what`s the method?
2. wich version i must flash ? what are the differences ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797334 the 25.0 or 35.5 version?
HEEEELP ! PLEASE
If you read both chainfires thread and the revolution thread properly then all is completely clear.....don't skim it....read them both PROPERLY ....if you can't be bothered to do this then the chances are you will brick your phone

I wasn't answering that question. You asked another question which pointed to a lack of knowledge on your part. Lack of knowledge is dangerous so I helped you out. Rather than responding with multiple ??? (Which is rude btw) you could have simply pressed "thanks".
Root is part of a ROM. Recovery flashes ROM. Root has nothing to do with the ability to flash ROMs.

yes its compatible with your phone. nothing can go wrong if you follow the OP.
Or you can try this method also.
i personally prefer the former.
CF auto root is the most painless way to root, it changes almost nothing in the process. Then backup your efs folder before you do ANYTHING else.

By the way rooting with CF-Autoroot doesn't include a custom recovery anymore that's why you needed to flash a custom recovery separately.

CF Auto Root Via Odin
Why? Tried and tested method, simple to use. No need to choose what exploit you want to use as it's tailored for your device.
What does it do? It gives you a stock recovery (so can't flash things) and roots the Android OS
The Steps:
1) Download the Latest Odin
2) Download CF-Auto-Root for your model
3) Follow These steps to root
In guide on how to flash and first link down takes you to cf-root 6.4 mate.
