Reason why I ask is because, for any internet access to the internet on my computer I will be using hotspot on the phone I'm rooting.

This is what I did... go to the guide in general and look for how to root
Then download odin and recovery (whichever u prefer) then download In Developement Darkside data wipe and download any rom you want that has root.
1. Open odin
2. Put ur phone in DL mode (power+vol up and down+plug in usb)
Then place the recovery in the PDA slot
3. Then start
Then in CWM go flash the Darkside datawipe (it'll take a lil while)
Then flash your desired rom then reboot

Go here, download all of the files to your phone, transfer the drivers, odin, and the recovery.tar to your computer, then follow the steps outlined and root. It's what I did because we are on dial up Internet, but I i have data on my phone, so I just downloaded and transfered the files. Write down the directions on paper too, so you don't have to worry about missing a step.
Goodluck!

You've done the fix permissions right? And sometimes you need to attempt repeatedly. The last thing is, try using this version

i went back to stock for lh9, and i read somewhere that u can root any build with the toolkit and so i tried using that way to root my phone, and it supposedly flashed cwm onto my phone, but when i boot into recovery to flash su, its like a different one, guessin the stock recovery because theres no option for install from zip help anyone??

I just realized that you won't be able to remove those files without root. You should first check whether you have the files or not. If you don't, then I'm not sure what's going on.
If you do, you need to uncheck the box in Odin to reboot your phone when you flash the custom recovery. When the Odin flash is done, pull the battery, put it back in, then boot into recovery by holding Vol Up, Home, and Power until you see the little blue text. That should get you into custom recovery. From there you can flash su and Superuser.
At this point you have a choice. You can reboot, but it will replace your recovery with stock. You'll still have root though. You'll need to remove the files and reflash a custom root either with Odin, the dd method, or using ROM Manager or GooManager.
The other choice is to use adb while you're booted into the custom recovery and remove the files before you reboot.

Did you try to root with the toolkit then you install a custom recovery and finally you install busy box. Still with the toolkit

NVM you dont have root i misread your post....You could use odin to flash lg1 with root injected and then use rootkeeper app to preserve root then take the update to lh9 thats what i did. Gunnyman wrote a post about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895100

If you do flash LG1, be sure to do a factory reset in recovery before you boot to LG1 or you'll get errors from android.process.acore. If you do this with stock recovery, you'll lose all the picture, sound, and video files you have on the internal storage.

I know I can flash any custom ROM I want now or the rooted/odexed version of the 4.1.2 OTA, but just for a little while I'd like to keep the flash counter at zero.
I'm still on 4.1.1 because I just got my phone 2 days ago, and I flashed the non-tripping stock root odin package before I even turned my phone on. But now I see there's an update for 4.1.2 (that someone said has multiview???) and I was wondering if there's a way to get to 4.1.2 and root it without tripping the flash counter.
Ideas?
Exynos abuse exploit. Google search it after you take the update. Download it and run it.

Get the update.zip file and copy to your cache directory .
Go into recovery mode (vol up +home+power) → flash from cache. and done ...It won't wipe your data... . .and you will get you multiview.

Did. Still gave me the error when flashing in recovery. Also the root is like not working completely. Some apps don't ask for permission and so I can't give it to them.

OTA requires stock recovery, not custom recovery. It downloads, then but reboots expecting stock recovery.
Odin or Kies as mentioned above.
