Grab either Chris's stock repacked w/CWM5 or Rogue kernel. You will want the tar file. You will flash it in PDA slot in Odin. In the future, please post questions in Q&A

I don't know, how about you learn how to read and write, then learn how to follow guidelines and last but not least post where you're supposed to. Better yet, get an iPhone, done.

Rude? I never used foul launguage or name calling, if I was rude it was cause I suggested you get an iPhone, I apologise for that. I find your actions rude when you post where you're not supposed to. I guess we all have different opinions of what rude means. Nonetheless, done here.

[KERNEL/ROM/RECOVERY] Stock EL13 2.3.6 Rooted w/ Rogue Recovery 1.1.2

GENERAL INFORMATION
This is Calkulin's stock rooted EL13 2.3.6 ROM/Kernel, with Rogue Recovery v1.1.2.
The only modifications I made were adding Rogue Recovery v1.1.2 to Calkulin's ROM, and modified the updater-script to format /data.
I made this for my own personal use, and thought I would share it in case anyone else was interested in it. I'm not trying to get rich and famous, claim anything as my own, or even do anything even remotely amazing or interesting here. If I possibly saved you a couple of minutes by downloading and flashing one .zip instead of two, that is why this is here. I'm not interested in how many people give me thanks or donations or anything like that, I just thought I'd try to put this out there if it might be helpful to anyone.
If your not interested in this, that is fine with me. This really isn't anything special and may not be much help to you. I get that. I'm not interested in cluttering things up with negative posts.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Make a backup in your current recovery
Download zip from link below
Place zip on sdcard
Boot into recovery and install zip
Let the phone boot back up fully, then update profile and PRL
Reboot
KERNEL/ROM/RECOVERY DOWNLOAD
FLASHING THIS ZIP WILL FORMAT /DATA

thanks a lot .that's what I want. BTW,I don't understand why I need to update PRL after flash the ROM.It is said they are different things and independant from each other.

I copied the instructions from Steady Hawkin's post. Maybe he can elaborate on why it is necessary, or if it really is.
if all you did was change the kernel, why post an entire rom?

I saw that Steady Hawkin was going to make a repack with Rogue Recovery, which I had already made for myself, so I thought I would share in case anyone was interested. yglaotu said he wanted this, you obviously not interested, and that is fine with me. Steady Hawkin now has an extra five minutes that he can devote to something else more important than this simple repack.

Wont update from eclair...

I have an epic 4g and it is stuck in elair 2.1....when it goes to recovery screen to update it wont says status 7 failed or something to that effect. There is a root bin file playlogo missing. Ive tried to find the factory rom to start over but all the download links are old and missing after they are clicked on. My question is can i root straight to the cyanogenmod 9? Thanks for any help...I have searched for answers but like i said all the threads are extremely old...thanks
Lol =] I feel your pain man. There are new stock images you'll need to flash first. Then you can root with the most recent way there is. If you would rather me do them I offer rooting services remotely via teamviewer 7 or give me a minute and ill provide you with the links necessary.
Oh and thanks for posting in Q&A.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
So if you feel like a lone ranger and want to do this yourself here are the links to the video how to's.
1. Follow this video How to Unroot/Unbrick Epic 4g, this will put you on the latest stock image. Yes it says unroot or unbrick... ignore that. Just follow this. Some pre-requsites would be to make sure you have the drivers for the epic installed, make sure the cable you are using isnt the stock one and is of good quality.
2. Then once finished and on stock use this video to root it.

Step by step. Pause if you have to. qbking77 is great for this. He takes your hand and walks you through everything.
Seems like a lot of stuff on the XDA links, but if you watch the video, he'll tell you exactly what to download. Some little things got updated with the files/names, but you should be able to figure it out.
Well welcome to the community just follow the information the users above posted and you will be fine.. The information can be overwhelming but but far from impossible.. Enjoy your device & wish you much luck
Thanks guys! I'm already learning a lot and look forward to learning more. I'll probably stay away from ICS roms until the source stuff is integrated to significantly reduce my chances of bricking.

That's good to know..!.. And do what's best for you.. I was going to go into explaining the ICS.. But honestly if you only feel comfortable flashing GB rom then do that until you read up and learn on everything.. It's plenty of great GB builds out

The new kernel from the source is out. Its in the wiki section under kernels. Its safe for flashing ICS to ICS. They disable the "brick bug" So by all means if you want to try ICS it should be safe to do so. Make sure you follow the dev's instructions.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Ding is right.. And the other day way which was to mobile odin an el26 kernel and wipe from there to flash your ics rom.. But with the new source kernel out its all good... Just was throwing that other info at you
So what would be the method of flashing to an ICS ROM from a GB ROM now with the source kernel?

From my understanding as agats said in the link below. If you are on a GB rom just make sure it has clockwork mod kernel repack or it won't boot. Flash the kernel on there and flash your ics ROM

Just go into CWM wipe data, cashe, and delvic cashe. Then flash rom. Or use calkulin format all zip. It does it for you. I can't find the link atm but if ya use the search button you can find it.

Help me get from 4.0.4 to stock 4.2 please. I am rooted

Hey folks,
I rooted my GS3 months ago and recently tried downloading the OTA update. The update failed and now I am stuck at 4.0.4 and when I tried to update I have a grayed out continue update option. I don't mind manually flashing the update via usb but I want to stick with just a stock rom just rooted so I can remove the bloatware and use Titanium Backup. Could someone point me in the right direction please?
Try getting a clue and posting in the right section moron.

Hey, he's just trying to fit in with the rest of the stuck-up XDA followers whom have a false sense of entitlement lol.
For the OP, 4.2 is not out just yet. I'm sure you meant 4.1.1 JellyBean. Take a look here, it's a great tutorial to get to the new update for the brand NEW stock GS3 Touchwiz Jellybean. It allows you to keep your root as well:

Also good advice. I'm sure there are a few stock based TW ROMs in the development section that the OP can flash. I wouldn't know as I'm an AOSP head. Anyway, the OTA update probably failed due to the fact that he's rooted and probably removed some bloat. My suggestion to the OP would be to flash any of the JB Touchwiz ROMs in the subforum I mention if that's what he wants. There's also tutorials floating around on how to do that if he's unsure of what to do.
Also, thread reported for movement.
Silly Humans. All you had to do is report that it was in the wrong section and one of us would move it out of Development and into the appropriate section. Oh wait, that is what 1 user did do.
I was going to clean this thread out but instead, I'll leave all the responses so that if anyone comes across this, they'll know what not to do and how not to respond to threads started in the wrong section.

If you want to keep root i would recommend installing root66_ATT_I747UCDLK3.tar.md5 from odin assuming you have a att phone. This is probably the easiest way.

Because normally this is due to a custom ROM or flashing a kernel not a fluke that happens to everybody and IMPO dev people got more experience and might have more ideas of what might be the solution.
