just find a cfroot kernel that matches ur phone and flash the same thro' odin u will have root access after that u get a yellow triangle at boot if u want 2 get rid of it then reflash the stock kernel u still have root access so that u can install apps like Titanium bkp. root explorer etc which require root access

please follow the link below for cf-root kernels

ps before doing anything make a bkp of ur current rom and read the faq in the link above carefully before flashing anything from the same

you can flash a cf root kernel and keep your stock rom, see here

just for root you can try this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1501719 (up to LP7 it is confirmed working, no problem to try on LP8, read the thread for more information)

Root with CWM : CF-root link is on my signature (recommended)

Thanks for that, but where do i find these cfroot kernals?

No problems or insecure kernels. I've got the exact same firmware as you and it worked perfectly for me.
