Root FJ10 Without Custom Kernel

As we all know FJ10 has been released and is floating around the internet, and iv'e decided to share the way i rooted the leak (International SGS II) using stock samsung recovery

What you need

PC/MAC/Linux
ADB
USB Cable
Phone
CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip

There is two ways to flash the root package in custom recovery (sorry i keep forgetting the other way)

Thank You Sh4Dy for reminding me

Flash Trough Update

1) Download CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip

2) Rename CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip > update.zip

3) flash as an update

Instructions

1) Enter Recovery mode by holding power+volume up.

2) Connect USB Cable to the phone and PC

3) Choose Install Update with adb
now

4) Now in your terminal/CMD write adb sideload CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip

5) Look at the screen and you will see the update package being installed

Congratulations you got now a rooted FJ10 leak without flashing a custom kernel

Thanks, but I get stuck at 3.

I go to search -> cmd and then I type adb sideload CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip in it. I think this is wrong but I never worked with ADB.

Works fine here

You need to install adb then cd to the adb directory, then type the command.

Why is it even in dev section?

Make sure you have adb installed on your pc

after that begin with step 1

Hey guys, Just apply the .zip from external card via recovery, the .zip in OP, worked for me

Edit: Yes mate, I used that file only, you copied it from Sprint S2's JB thread? Coz I can see the screenshot is of Oct 11 firmware.

Buy mobile odin, flash the rom, then you will get root. Quite simple.
I love new rom.
But it wipe all my data system apps...

This is why adb sideload is powerful (as on sprint we were never able to access sdcard)

If you want, I can give proof, I'm currently restoring apps from Ti Backup Pro
