No, you do flash an insecure kernel (ex. Chainfire's) and then you start the phone and open SuperOneClick (download in forum) and press Root. Then you can flash back the original kernel.
As said in dev section Chainfires root kernel.
Flash Chainfires kernel
Use super one click to root as instructed .
Flash kernel only latest firmware .

Question
Hey guyz I have a question and I'm not sure if it's related to this thread but I'd appreciate it if anyone can help me. I just bought a new SGS 2 and I was suspicious that it's a used/referb one, the seller told me it's new. but then again after i got home, I installed root checker and found out that busybox is already installed. can anyone confirm that SGS 2 comes with busybox installed or not?
thanks alot.
Only if rooted not from Samsung stock firmware.

Hi I have an I9000 and I have upgraded the OS to 2.3.5 using the stock firmware from samfirmwares.com I think it is using Odin. The question I have and I have googled it and searched and read this and many other forums is can I root my I9000 without flashing CWM and a customer kernal?
On my 10.1 tab I just have a zip file I drop in root and reboot to the recovery menu and update it and it's done. I want the same for my I9000 (just for Titanium backup and SU) and I want to stay on the stock rom.
Thanks
Brian
Nop that isn't possible!
Only way to root 2.3.5 is flashing a custom kernel.

It is not a single-click process but two.
First of all use CF(the least complicated kernel) that applies to JVS to obtain root(from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108 ) and then flash the stock kernel(from perkas stash-- http://perka.zapto.org ).The result would be your phone has root and only the stock kernel.
Best wishes.
Thanks thats what I wanted I'll do that then. Why do you flash twice though? why CF then perka?
Thanks for your help

Twice because----
1)the CF would root your phone
and since you don't want anything other than the native/original kernel,
2)flash the kernel as suggested.
You could as well not go for the second flash but simply remove the minor tweaks and reboot for them to be removed.
No big deal/difference really.
I am Not A Newbie
A few days ago I broke my Y's display so sent it for repairs I was on stock unrooted when it happened

and make the guys from samsung repair it,
Odd but all your rooting methods are flashed via cwm, i remember there is another rooting method using pc, i used it to rroot my friends pphone which ran on froyo but as i remember it would also work on gingerbread too its called superoneclick root, google it, if that dont work look for universal gingerbread root or try looking for gingerbreak.apk use other methods of rooting not just the update.zip from cwm

Edit
Is it possible that samsung people found out that i have rooted my phone and so locked it or something
sorry for weird questions but now my brain is working in all direction
Well, there's only one hope. Root your phone with this zip: http://www.galaxy4gaming.in/2012/07/root-unroot-samsung-galaxy-y.html
Next, use SuperSU...from here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImV1LmNoYWluZmlyZS5zdXBlcnN1Il0.
Please update binaries. I'm sure it'll help...
Thank You
But didnt helped though!!!!
Hi all, I m new to Samsung, previously using HTC. I got a simple yet a question that troubling me and preventing me from rooting my phone. I saw a thread regarding the CF-auto root which i think is a most easiest way to root my phone (GT-I9505). Here is my phone details:
Baseband version - I9505DXUAME2
Build number - JDQ39.I9505XXUAME2
Android version - 4.2.2
It is possible to use the CF-auto root to root my phone? Thanks if you can help me up.

TA only resets to 0 if you have a stock rom and recovery, otherwise it will always jump back to 1. Don`t use TA with a custom kernel, that may cause soft bricks/bootloops.

Basically, from what you are saying it is much safer to be on stock for the mean time? Are there stable roms out there that thats available? Mostly from what i read on android dev, they are mostly alpha (please correct me if i am wrong).
Btw, thanks for your help. I have successfully rooted my i9505 using cf-auto root. My second question is what would be the most stable recovery?
I read from an article that CWM is still unstable?
Hi everyone, I'm new to android and having problems rooting my Sprint S4. I tried to root using ODIN but apparently Sprints newest update has made it impossible to root. My phone was believed to be rooted but the supersu app say that there is currently no binary installed. When I try to update the binary it just fails. I don't know where to go from here. I was going to flash the stock firmware but I cant find one for this build. All help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

Unless there is a theme style then there isn't a way.
Also you should have posted this here to get an answer to your query.
Your topic heading makes it seem like it's a how-to xD you might wanna be a bit more careful with the headings...

rooting before flashing a custom rom is useless, flashing recovery and then flashing a custom rom is how it should be done.. but ppl have just made rooting one of the steps, and now new users think rooting is actually necessary to flash a custom rom..

I've almost given up on successfully rooting and installing custom ROM on my Galaxy Note3 (N900V) It seemed that there were roadblocks at every method that I thought would work with my Verizon Note 3. The above quote suggest (to me) that rooting is no longer necessary but that it can be done simply by flashing a recovery (CWM or TWRP??) and then flashing the custom ROM.
Instructions usually assume a Windows computer to flash via usb cable. I'm running Linux so where can a find a step by step guide that will let me install Cyanogenmod or some other custom ROM that will let me debloat, and perhaps improve function on my Note 3 which I plan to be keeping for the foreseeable future.

Suggest you ask in the forum for your model .
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2574886
Doesn't the Verizon version of the Note 3 have a locked bootloader that must be unlocked before flashing TWRP or a non-TW based ROM? Heimdall can flash TWRP in Linux: http://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/
Doesn't the Verizon version of the Note 3 have a locked bootloader
yes its locked .
