[Q] Rooting galaxy s2 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. Recently I've installed CM 10.2 with installer. Phone doesn't seem to be rooted,as installer may have locked it again? The thing is I want to root it and the question is ,do I do it the same way I found on some guide for 4.1.2 stock JB, where they first use Jeboo kernel, then root phone, or I go straight to root? I am confused since I cm 10.2 is android 4.3 jb version and I believe it has different kernel than stock already.
//Regards

[Q] Installing CWM on stock 4.3

Hey everyone, as of right now, is there no way to get the CWM recovery on an S4 (AT&T) that has been updated to 4.3?
What would the process be, if possible of flashing back to a 4.2.2 rom.
I'm looking to install Cyanogenmod, but can't seem to do so, mainly because I can't get into CWM, and I have a feeling its because I'm on 4.3...
Thanks in advance.

Installation MIUI on Galaxy S3 with Samsung stock 4.3 rom

Hello gentlemen, I have Galaxy S3 and I have there stock rom from samsung android version 4.3 (specifically i9300XXUGNA8) and I would like to try a MIUI rom.

I've used the MIUI rom for s3, and trust me, it's really good. The only downside is that you have to downgrade to android version 4.2.2 which is CM based. The latest version is based on 4.2.2, not 4.1.1
You have to do this:
1) Root your s3 following a proper guide. There are plenty on the net. Just google it.
2) Install a custom recovery. I recommend TWRP or Philz Touch recovery.
3) Download the MIUI rom from their official website en.miui.com
4) Flash the rom using the recovery.
Done. Hope this helped

[Q] Updating Rom

Hi
I have managed to root my Samsung Galaxy s2 and install a custom rom, I havn't got a clue what rom it is I think its jelly bean, how can I tell (I think there is a mention some where of jaboo)? Is it possible to update to the latest KitKat version or one that is similar/recommended, without wiping everything off my phone as its such a pain reinstalling all my apps etc?
Cheers

why no one want to help?

hi, i am newb
i have a galaxy s2 plus i9105p based on android 4.1.2. i tried OTA updates but could find.
now i wanted to root it and install CM 12.1 on it.
i rooted it with firmware 4.1.2 via KINGROOT and install CWM non touch recovery on it.
now problem is in order to install CM 12.1 you must have stock 4.2.2 firmware.
please tell me how i update it to 4.2.2 now or any other method that i can install CM 12.1 on it
