Thanks. It's not quite what I'm looking for though. I want to be able to install either CleanRom or Jedi X Rom.

after you root with what he posted then go to play store and download goomanager.after that open it and click menu button, then click install open recovery script, wait for it to finish then you can reboot to recovery.

Once into recovery you can flash a ROM. Download the ROM to your ext sd card.

Got a link to that app? I can't find it in the play store.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app

I agree with slicingtaco, find the Exynosabuse.apk from Chainfire here on XDA and install it. You will be able to do this right from your SGN2. After rooting, get goomanager from the play store. open goomanager and in the menu choose 'Install OpenRecoveryScript'. That will download and install TWRP which will overwrite the stock recovery, which, after all of this you can install custom ROMS.
Right after rooting, you may have to get BusyBox Free from the playstore and install busybox.
Good Luck!

I just came over from iPhone, but I always jailbroke my phones there. This is much easier to do. It sounds more daunting than it actually is, if you follow the site I provided you will be done in under five minutes with your macbook.
Rooted or not, this phone is incredible. Enjoy!

If youre looking for the Darkside Evolution series, its been discontinued. You can search the dev thread for the thread of you like.
For a stock rooted, in the dev thread, do an advanced search for "stock" without the quotes, and search in titles only. You'll find what youre looking for.

Why you want a link of a stock rooted rom? why not root if you are on stock?
Although his kernels are discontinued I have yet to find something thats better, performance and battery life is excellent. My very first rom that I flashed for the S2 was the juggernaught rom and it was basically stock minus bloatware, maybe youd want to look into something like that.

Well since you are in the sprint galaxy s3 forum you shouldn't have to worry about that. Now on other sites that don't break them down into sub forums (Verizon, sprint, T-Mobile, international, etc.) It would be wise to know that. Just make sure it has sprint galaxy s3, D2spr, or SPH-lz10 in it. Also, welcome to the forums! And/or XDA if you weren't here before!

I believe the 2 files they're referring to are the system files that flash the stock recovery upon reboot if stock isn't installed. Though the easiest way to install the twrp recovery is install the goo manager app and install from there.

No worries, and correct.
Once in the goo manager app
-press menu
-select the 'open script recovery' option > accept the message
-it will download and install
-reboot into recovery and you're done
And as of roms, it depends; if you like touchwiz, i personally recommend blazer rom - phantom hacker, fre3 gs3 - clark44 ; and if on aosp: aokp, miui, and can't go wrong with straight cm10.
how do i know if im completely up to date, firmware, radio etc...and i see two sections...original android dev. and just android dev. which one i use?

While you're at it, you will have to flash a cwm custom jb kernel, since you're on ics, and, MO won't flash modems, you'll need a jb modem to use data on gb27. Download the zip though of the modem .
