supppose my phone is not rooted i am using a sgy
what if i directly flash rom zip
will it work?
If it work what is thee need of an update zip?
The need if a update.zip is to root your phone only and install the superuser app. It is safer to root before u flash because the chances of success are higher. If u got bricked go here to ask.

I want to do it via CWM, because odin always does wrong with my phone...So, i tried to find how to extract the kernel or someting but i didnt figout out how to. My baseband version is UTLG1, so if you guys could help me providing the kernel and a little tutorial reaching me how to flash it, it would be just amazing !! Thanks

I followed this tutorial but i still don't know how to flash the kernel via CWM
Another question: Could i remove the .md5 extension, so it will be .tar, and then extract the boot.img with winrar and flash it?
i replied to your PM
Flash the stock kernel Via odin , put the File in the PDA , then start flashing
G.L
Is it possible to flash via CWM? Odin usually doesn't work for me...
i had never seen a stock kernel .zip !
sorry
Theres a new methoed by mai77, which is explained in the second post of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1550065 . But i dont know how to flash the stock kernel using it
Well before installing savie kernel i googled how to backup kernel nd i guess it did backuped the stock kernel nd i have still got the backup and the flashable .zip file which can help u but..
P.S.:- i havnt tried this...
But i can surely post it if u want.
i or xda will be not responsible if ur phone gets bricked or something happens as i have not tested it personally..
So if u brick your phone u are the one who is responsible

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.

Bro but I do not know where you remove the root
U cannot remove root, kernel or recovery per say and you cannot remove root from rom and keep ur rom intact. If u want, back up ur note 2 by apps such as G Cloud. Use traingle away to remove major root traces if u want to return to stock rom, so u can update normally. Then, u have to flash stock rom or any desirable rom which r available in the forums. I hope this helps
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.

You will successfully get an OTA if...
You're using the stock kernel
You have not renamed/deleted/mangled files in /system
You have not installed garbage like Beats etc which modify libraries
You have not screwed with your framework to bling it
ie: YOUR ROM IS STOCK
You STILL get, and apply an OTA, if you have..
Unlocked your bootloader
Rooted your device
You're using a modern CWM or TWRP

If you install a custom recovery you won't be able install the update naturally. You'll have to download the update and install from recovery manually.

Good point, but it will install just fine. But yes, you have to boot into recovery and flash the OTA zip file.
