How to Root/Unroot Older GB ROM + CWM

Rooting Older GB (Directly rootable) ROM

Now first thing someone newer like to know what is directly rootable and non rootable ROM

Directly rootable GB ROM is older release of ROM before Nov11, which can be root with zergrush exploit directly, without odin it (and so without exclamation mark and raising flash counter)

Which ROMs are directly rootable? and how do i know my ROM directly rootable or not?

Go to Settings -> About phone -> Kernel Version. Note the string present there: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXKJ4-CL641703 Here Red is your kernel version)

If it is one of below mentioned then proceed otherwise follow post #3

These are directly rootable ROM

If ROM having one of these kernels, then it is directly Rootable.

KJ1/KJ4/KJ6/KJ7/KJ8/KJA

KK1/KK2/KK3/KK4/KK5/KK6/KK9/KKA

KL1

KL3(few of KL3 only is directly rootable e.g. Indian KL3. so in case your KL3 cudn't get root with zergrush you should consider it as non directly rootable )
