You can use Odin to put CWM to ur phone, then flash Super user. All those files and step by step guideline is available as sticky notes in our forum.

^thanks. i didnt see the new thread about rooting 4.0.4 as i was still looking in the android dev section instead general. finally got my replacement in and and rooting it asap. my old SGS2 will be missed...so many files were lost.
Hey everyone!
I'm new to the forums and I'm super excited. I've been wanting to root my SII for over half a year and I've finally built the courage to do so. I've looked through the forums and I found Melvin's post on how to root.
My question is, can I root my SII when its in version 4.0.4 UVLH1 using Melvin's method? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311194)
Thanks!
Ken
Yes
I don't know from personal experience since I rooted with gingerbread but from reading I heard people having trouble with ics and melvins guide. Sooooo eliminate the doubt and just use this.

Its essentially the same thing. Flash CWM from Odin, then boot into CWM and flash superuser.
Something about superuser version...

Thanks for this. Has anyone gotten WiFi tether to work on frosty jb? I never see the connection when trying to use the hotspot with my nexus 7. I've changed the device profile to generic ics/jb wlan0 and still no go.

no go on the wifi tether for me as well
Tether will not work on JB Kernels, JB based ROMS, and JB Touchwiz leaked stock roms.

i was just wondering if i root my phone will i still be able to recieve ota updates? and also is the anyway to just delete cwm recovery? im not rooted by the way!
Here's my Tip:
When using WIFI Tether, change your profile to Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE).... Works like a champ with no issues.

Stock Rom Just Rooted.
T-Mobile S3
So there's no need to wipe when Odin back to stock to unroot?

People come to this thread for rooting, custom ROMS, ect....so I think this is a great place for this thread so they can find all guides in one place.
I agree that this should be in General.
Techfanatic9, this is good work and you keep supporting it which is great, but this would be better served in General.

Hey guys,
I unrooted my S3 verizon using the ODIN method, and I am trying to OTA update to JB...the unrooting method took me to ICS stock 4.0.4
Sorry for the silly question, i am a newbie and it's frustrating

So after rooting and flashing TWRP I rebooted my phone and now my wifi won't even turn on I'm on stock 4.1.2 any ideas?
P.s. I did try a factory reset with no success
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Sounds like a kernel issue. I suggest flashing a TouchWiz kernel with your recovery.
What root method did you use?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T999 using xda premium
Rooted via odin/s3 toolkit
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Used to be an issue I think, not positive though. Like I said, most likely Kernel related so flash a Touchwiz kernel that is for your Build version... 4.1 JellyBean or 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich.
Worked perfect reflashed stock kernel. Thanks for the help idk why I didn't think to do that in the first place

Same Problem
I have a Galaxy S III T-999, I rooted it last night using Odin and S3 toolbox, and now the WiFi won't turn on. I don't know what a Touchwiz kernel and stock kernel are, or how to find them.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
