Check the stickies. Flash twrp through Odin, then flash root or pre-rooted rom through twrp.

That has everything you need to gain root. What you do from there is up to you. I've personally used it on both the ICS and JB stock images. Worked perfectly.
Search before you make a new thread next time though. Took me all of 15 seconds to find that when I first got on here.

My sister got the phone out of the box updated and how would i go about rooting. I read and searched (im not a noob believe me) and i only see them from like the first week it came out. So old root will it work?

Which method? I waited one day too late, and got the 2.3.6 update yesterday - and from what I read, superoneclick doesn't work for SGS 2 that's been updated?
I'm looking for the simple, proven way to do it without having to go command-line

Why not just use Odin to push the recovery Once you have cwm, rooting is almost pointless. Just flash a full Rom / Kernel via zip

Unless of course you just want rooted stock ......
Yes in which case just flash the su zip included in the thread ...... He SHOULD want cwm in either case if anything so he can perform nandroid backups
At a minimum though, I'd flash a rooted deodexed/zipaligned/CIQ free stock release ;-)

Hey I'm sorry I'm on mobile right now, someone know where I can get the latest rooted stock rom as flashable zip and not odin? Wanted to see if I could do it now from the phone. The stock sticky thread in development might not seem up to date? If it is I'll just go there, but am not sure so just wanted to ask. Thanks!

Looks like ODIN is it, not sure but I think mobile ODIN works also with the S3. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737859, after you flash this, force phone to update to get latest software.

No, youll have to use mskips toolkit or other root methods. Thats a nonrooted stock rom, has to be rerooted, cant just add SU.

I believe that if you purchase the Mobile ODIN Pro app from the market the app will root the stock ROM for you, automatically, as it's being flashed. Here's the link to the dev's (Chainfire) thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899

Good answer, I don't use mobile odin, didn't know it rooted roms for you.
So im on stock rooted and lets say i get the update but im rooted do i need to unroot to proceed ??.. or i can do it whit root? Cant wait for some jellybean goodies

Root should be fine. Its the custom recovery that'll prevent you from even being able to get the update.
You will lose root though unless you use voodoo rootkeeper or mobile odin pro.

Its pretty straight forward actually. There should be steps laid out in post 2 of the fw thread and I believe Theexel hasit in his thread stickied in this section.
If you have any problems let me know, but don't see a reason to retype it all again!

Along the same lines...I just got an s3 yesterday and rooted stock 4.0.4. Used OTA root keeper, downloaded the ota for JB and when I attempt to upstate it fails....I have stock recovery. No idea why it keeps failing. I would Odin the prerooted JB but my wife doesn't want to lose her settings she already set up. Any ideas?

You probably have a custom recovery causing it to fail.
Regardless of how you update you will possibly lose some settings. Its recommended, but not required to do a clean update anyway. But flashing with odin should preserve your settings as well as the ota would. Once they boot up it shouldn't matter as the resulting build is the same.

So let's say I download the flash able version of the JB stock OTA, I can flash it through stock recovery or twrp or cwm, right?

Depends if you've done anything to your current build.
Cwm will flash it, but I just don't care for it. Caused probs for quite a few people.
But you have to be full stock. No mods, no deodexing, no bloat removal, no modems flashed, etc.
Then you should be able to flash it in cwm.
Its preferred you do it through stock recovery. You can use voodoo rootkeeper to preserve root.

This may be a dumb question but to install a recovery from goomanager... You have to be rooted right?
I'm stock now and trying to install a custom recovery and then flash roms... Are there any custom recoveries you can install from Odin?

You need root to install custom recoveries also to flash ROMs. You have your choice between twrp and cwm. I know twrp has Odin flashable files on their site. Easy as pie.

Is this the way by flashing a whole new stock rom with root injected? Trying to avoid that if possible.

Bah there a simple way hut trips then flash counter ( which does matter because we can clear the flash counter)
Its just say casual rooting I think. Its intended at&t development section. Its a one click deal basically. You need to be rooted to do anything with odin
