Helo guys,
Most of you might have eagerly downloaded the leaked firmware and anxiously flashed the rom last night. But might have been stuck at getting root.
CAUTION: Flashing CF root or Some other version of Siyah Kerne will soft brick the device ending up at Boot screen.
Ok now.!! Root is now avaiable through PhilZ CWM v3.1 kernel.
This is a just a guide to those searching for root and ending up in bricks flashing old cf roots and siyah kernels.
1) Download the zip fie from the link given at the end of post.
2) Put it on to the SD Card
3) Switch off ur Phone.
4) Enter Stock Recovery by pressing Power+Home+Vol.up buttons at once and hold.
5)Now flash the zip by selecting Install zip from SDCard.
6) Reboot and Enjoy the Rooted Awesome Jellybean firmware on galaxy s2

Good to know. Could you please provide step-by-step detail. I have JB 4.1.2 XXLSJ installed on the GT-I9100. I tried ODIN v1.85 and 3.04 but it does not take the Philz CWM 3.1 zip file. It looks for tar, smd, md5, gz, tgz. What steps do I need to take to make this file work with ODIN?

Is it possible to unroot this firmware? I have Philz Kernel installed. Reason for wanting unroot is I want to use the Pingit app which requires an unrooted phone. I plan to re root after using it.

I'm trying to root the XXLSJ with Philz kernel, but it seems that I won't succeed...I copied the file on my SD card, entered the stock recovery mode but there's no such line as 'Install zip from sd card'. So, I'm not able to install the kernel thru stock recovery. What should I do? Thx!!!

Dear Chainfire,
Can you help to make CF-Root for this N7000DXLA1_N7000OLBKL2_XME - Kernel that can update from CWM?
Please go to CF-Root thread and download the firmware to revert to older rom plus root. Then
1) buy Chainfire's Odin Mobile and use it to flash N7000DXLA1_N7000OLBKL2_XME.
or
2) flash any custom ROM via CWM recovery.

No feedback at all from Chainfire.......
Just update to this latest version.
Lighting fast and solves the problem of hanging and inability to read the apps in Ext SD. So fast has not experience that problem yet - touch wood.
Has a few Launcher Installed (ADW, 360, & Go Launchers) all working well.
Still has the original Tw Launcher but hardly it now.
Quite happy with the stock rom now. Has no intention to root it, yet.
Will continue to wait for updates from Samsung and hope ICS will come along soon.
I found the easiest way to root the latest official JB
This is very useful for now becoz there is no any rooted kernel or what ever so HOW I M GONNA FLASH DEODEXED ROM THRU ODEXED ?
SOLUTION :
FLASH THIS THRU STOCK RECOVERY http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877270
FLASH THRU ADB SIDELOAD http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877270
THIS WAY IS TESTED AND IS WORKING PERFECTLY :laugh:
And of course this is not for permanent. This way is just installing SU and CWM so you can flash proper ROM / KERNEL
PRE-LONGED USE THIS METHOD AT YOUR OWN RISK :silly:
thx for the guide.

Hi
So i am new to S4. I rooted it using Chainfire CF root..
So now the next step is to flash recovery
I did read a lot of things on XDa
So what i made up of everything is that I need to Flash a Kernel First and then I can flash the Recovery
is it right ?

You can keep stock kernel and have philz touch recovery, that's what I have done previously. I have noticed a lot of custom recovers are a little buggy still tho still early days for gs4 so I'm still using stock recovery as I use an app called mobile odin and keep my stock firmware on the phone so I can flash anytime
Hi all,
I'll be getting the S4 very soon (don't have it quite yet), but want to be ready.
Can someone point me to CWM 6.0.3.2 in an ODIN flashable file? I see the IMG here, but don't think IMGs are ODIN flashable, correct?

I'm not sure about Odin, but I always install CWM through RomManager in the play store. It's much more hassle free, and all you need is a rooted phone.

Well, I can't use the ZIP because I am not yet rooted. I'm sure the answers are around here somewhere... but the easiest way I find to root (and unroot) is to flash a rooted kernel or ROM from Odin...
Got it. CF Root and ROM Manager... Now, to pick out a ROM.... I don't suppose Cyanogenmod is ready for daily use is it?
Easiest thing to.not get confused. Is to root your phone. Download goo manager from the play store and install twrp then flash the cwm touch zip.

Flash a recovery then flash a ROM. I recommend reading the tutorials in the General section, but there's nothing special involved in installing a custom ROM.

At first root your phone then Flash TWRP RECOVERY, download a custom rom for your model ,put the rom on external SD CARD and flash it in Twrp .
DO SOME SEARCHING AT FIRST
Flashing TWRP maybe won't work without root (just replied to post with issue) i had this issue also
