I upgraded my I497 through Kies to JB 4.1.2 and got it rooted

I used the next procedure:

i used odin 3.0.4 from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1703998

Boot in to odin mode and flash TWRP from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2228332 in the PDA tab and uncheck reset

then boot in to recovery and flash the "superSU and busybox" file from here http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1534486&d=1354579840

which comes from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1746794

this worked great for me

reboot and enjoy

Hope this helps someone
