Want to root my Samsung Galaxy s3 4G confused

Hello all,
I have read many posts about rooting the phone above but am confused.
All i want to do is root the phone and keep the original rom.
If i root it then update to 4.1.2 jellybean when its released for my phone do i have to root it again?
I really need to know step by step the process so i dont mess it up.
Firstly i beleive i need to backup my iemi is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1946915 the correct procedure?
I then save that file it generates incase i need to restore is this correct?
I was then going to use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414 but am confused where it says "Flash an Insecure Kernel before using Samsung Quick Root".
Where do i find an insecure kernal for the above phone?
I then read about ClockworkMod Recovery what does this do and should i use it?
Can someone please help me step by step as im really new to Android.
Sorry for so many questions but coming from years having an iphone to Android its like wow.
Cheers and thanks in advance.

Absolutely everything you need to know is in there.
I would only use methods that are intended for i9305.

Obagleyfreer i read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32235061&postcount=1 and unsure of part 13.
I want to root but just keep the standard rom that the phone came with.
Also if i update to 4.1.2 jellybean do i need to backup and root again?

You just need to flash the zip that's linked in part 13 to get root access.
You do this in CWM recovery.

Hi
Seems like you ar pretty novice to this.
If you root you cant update to latest from Settings -》About -》 Update. Root makes it imposible that way.
Instead you have to flash the latest rom from www.sammobile.com using Odin (windows) and rootvit again.
Or you wait till some one kind pre roots the rom and makes it flashable through Clockworkmod (easiest way)
All the strange words you have to look up your self.

Ok i check www.sammobile.com and i dont see a version of 4.1.2 jellybean for my phone.
Will the international versions of 4.1.2 work on my phone?
Will they have bloatware or carrier logos?
When i flash a rom do i have to flash the modem as well?
Can i just flash rom over rom or should i clean the cache first?

Its not released yet for every country. I dont find it for sweden either.
And you can expect the same thing from updated rom as the rom you are on now.
The roms from sammobile is only for your country becaus it contains the proper modem and apn info for your country and carrier.
As I said before best way to get a rooted and neat rom is letting the experts in xda compile a version that is flashable through cwm.
Look in the description if modem is included.

You guys have the a3 bootloader? If not you can restore to mj5 then search thread for the method to get to official kk. If you have a3 look at carl1961 thread or try samsung experience at your nearest bestbuys if they have fw already. Also post in q and a section.

You can get the OTA zip from this post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701062 (thanks to mazdamiata210).
We do not currently have a ODIN version of NC2 (Official ATT Kitkat).
Please remember that all questions go in the Q&A section.
I will be asking a MOD to move this for you.

Mind elaborating? Im in the same boat

I don't remember the thread I used to solve it. But you should look for the UrDroid Kitkat Stock Rooted ROM AT&T Note 3. It has instructions to install and flash using Safestrap and ODIN.

In order to use a custom rom you will generally need to install safestrap, busybox, and superuser. Then you can install a custom rom found from the development section here. If you're on jellybean you can only flash JB roms. If you want kit kat you'll have to do some reading. Once you go kit kat, you can't go back to jellybean. So read the kit kat rom threads and see what you need to do for installation.
