who are you to stop innovation?
no matter what someone will still do what is necessary to move on.
even you will become the dictator of the whole world . still we will move on for the better or worse.
Followed all instructions and it works perfect until the point where it says to Select root.zip, this file simply doesn't exist on my phone - though I did have a successfull PASS with Odin.
I have previously installed SU. Not sure if this is the reason. When I in CWM-based recovery choose to reboot simply to get out of the CWM, I get the question to "root Device (/system/xbin/su)" ?!
I chose YES. After reboot, the SU app says "installation failed" if I try to enable super user, so I assume it doesn't work for my phone as root.zip was never found.
you must have the root file on sd card.
have you recently updated the rom (jelly bean)?
You first need to install CWM with help of Odin, then you copy the root file on SD card. You reboot in CWM mode (phone must be turned off ... then you press volume up + main button + turn on/off ... press all at same time leep it until you see it enters CWM mode) and then you find the zip file and install it.
Don't update through Kies (there is a new update for this phone) as I lost my root after I updated it and cant root again.
it was already 4.2.2 on the phone and it still shows the same version... update was about 600 mb and can't see any difference from the old one. But lost the root and can't use the root file again
Should I upgrade binary if I'm asked to? What will be the benefits and/or drawbacks of it?
Will I brick it this way? I've heard bricking is almost unavoidable.

If you boot in stock recovery, after flashing CWM Recovery, you have to:

I suggest using this CWM recovery to root your phone ONLY. This version is not fully compatible with Android 4.2.2

i am not able to go to recovery mode. as you said when i try to hold volume up+home+power it stucks at boot animation.
I found what the problem. Мy Samsung has a new last version of firmware - S7580XXUBNA2 Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean.
I bought phone with that firmware, so I have problem.
WARNING TO ALL, IF YOU UPGRADE TO LAST FIRMWARE YOU WILL PROBABLY LOSE ROOT.
I need help and does anyone have any idea how root that firmware.
Thank you all.
