Dude you can read the stickies in the general forum. But you must find a zip for rooting the 4.3. Go read the stickies, and you will find all that you need.

You can't update any rooted / superuser modified phones thru Kies.

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).

No, you can't. I've tried myself and it doesn't work.

Yes, you can update a rooted phone through Kies as long as the csc is correct. You will lose root though, but other than that it's safe.
thanks guys for immediate response.I think i will just use odin to maintained rooted. my only problem is i am not sure what guide to use and which is safer? although i research myself through i am just confused so many guides in using odin. my phone is GT - I9300 android version 4.1.1 with a baseband ver: i9300XXDLIB. i just want to update this to 4.1.2 if possible via odin to maintain rooted. If you guys can help me out which guide to follow that will maintain rooted and safe that will be much appreciated!
thanks a lot!

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

[Q] How to re-root once MK6 4.3 installed

OK, think I must be being a little bit blind around the forum, but cannot seem to locate how and links to perform a root once I update to 4.3
I'm running 4.1.2 and am currently rooted (I used CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4 since forever and always seems to work), which seemed to work fine on 4.1.2. However, reading all over the place about rooting being different on 4.3, but as I said, just cannot seem to find links and info on how to do it on the latest
I know I can easily install the 4.3 update using ODIN to replace 4.1.2, but would then like to re-root once this has been done
Any help and links much appreciated
Cheers
Albie

i used this http://download.chainfire.eu/229/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300.zip and worked just fine
edit: i used the odin included inside the .zip and put the root file at PDA
If you have Mobile Odin, that's the easiest way. Used it to root MK6
I used CF Auto Root on the OTA update and it was fine.

Excellent .. thanks guys. Was just a little worried with all the stuff have been reading about the latest 4.3 and Knox etc, that it might not be possible to root. I understand that the knox flag is now triggered, but to me that is not a prob, as don't really worry about the warranty
I rooted my 4.3 via cf root 6.4 but flashed it via odin. Unzip go to download mod put cf root md5 into pda and hit start. Than go to custom recoveri and flash su 1.8 update from sd card. Easy

Do you have Knox in 4.3? Does rooting trip the Knox flag?
Knox isnt part of 4.3 rom for sgs3.

Hi, i installed Imperium v23.2 today and when i tried to use Titanium backup it failed to load because there is no SU binary?

This way I got root.
If you have already rooted 4.1.2 S3 so why don't you try to flash the firmware with "MOBILE ODIN PRO V4".
I JUST FLASHED INDIAN FIRMWARE 4.3 WITH THIS APP AND ENABLED EVERROOT OPTION FOR ROOT. After that flashed philz cwm tar.
Make a nandroid backup first.

yes, if you're running a JB version 4.1.2 look here its framaroot:
http://true-android.blogspot.com/2013/12/how-to-root-galaxy-s2-gt-i9100-running.html
or this one using CF-auto-root:
http://scientimystic.wordpress.com/...i9100-having-android-4-1-2-official-firmware/
for more information about cf root look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/orig-development/30-10-2012-k-la-lp-t1103399
I think cf root is more better than framaroot for your device because its designed for it and other more devices... so pls. read about Cf root above

I read about cf root but for my understanding it only works on ICS not in JB and about the link you gave i really need both the cf root and philz to root my device without changing stock kernel?

yeah.. its for GB and ICS , for that im really sorry:crying: ... now for the latest version of ICS and JB they use Philz kernel, its a rooted kernel with a customized(philz touch) CWM on it... the philz kernel change your stock kernel to a rooted stock kernel... meaning they add some nice feature on it.. but its the closest stock kernel you'll have... but still it will change the stock kernel , that you dont want to happen... :crying:
forget about that link though there's so many changes on how to root your device (im really sorry about that) ... now ... if you want still to go for CF root but it will change your stock kernel you need to find the compatible version of it .. based on your model number..
But i think framaroot will do the work.. go for the link about framaroot before that install CWM 6 :
http://techbeasts.com/2014/03/28/how-to-install-cwm-6-recovery-on-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-gt-i9100/
then follow on how to root using framaroot...
btw i found a link on how to root your device using framaroot and install kitkat rom on it, Here:
http://luvis.se/tipstricks/root-and-install-kitkat-on-samsung-galaxy-s2-i9100-without-a-computer/
okay im no responsible of bricking your device do it at your own risk, the decision is up to you now:fingers-crossed:
As pinkLeviosa says PhilZ *IS* a JB stock kernel......with root and CWM added.....
So it will do EXACTLY what you want.......
You keep the same stock setup, but you're rooted........
My wife says I'm a phone geek....She's probably right
