Find out CF root for your phone from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331253 and root it per instructions on same thread.
Then go ahead and decide on what next ROM you want to install. GO to dev thread for that particular ROM and install by following ALL instructions on that thread. Search Q&A thread in general section for that particular ROM for any questions that you might have. Post question in that thread if you cannot find answers to your questions.

Unable to Root after upgrade to I9003JPKPM
Kies updated my firmware recently to I9003JPKPM and I lost my root access. Previously I was using amit bagaria's universal cf-root.
After the firmware was installed, i again tried to root the universal cf-root. Root was working. But I lost WIFI access. Wifi does not start anymore.
To fix this, I tried unrooting the phone from the menu after pressing Vol Up + Home + Power. It told phone was unrooted. But wifi was not working. I again went back to CWM menu to Root it back.
No matter what I do, now I am unable to get Root back. The menu shows I'm rooted.
But when I go and start a priviledged application, I get an error:
Sample error
Code:
CWM Manager needs SuperUser access to function! If you have SU installed, make sure CWM Manager is not blocked, then reboot and try again.
I tried flashing universal cf-root again but unable to get root access!

Now my phone is messed up by various trials of installing universal cf-root by amit. To return back to a stock kernel, is repartitioning required?
A noob question. Is repartitioning done using a latona pit file? I remember using one when I had switched from froyo to GB.

OK. I did a repartition using latona.pit file, then installed XXKPE, then installed XXLE4 on top of it. I used it for a day and also installed many apps. Now is it OK if i flash bam kernel on top of it? I had read somewhere that bam kernel should only be installed on a fresh stock ROM on its first reboot after flashing. Is it true? or do I have to repeat all the steps XXKPE -> XXLE4 -> bam kernel

i have no success at all some step by step to me? how can i cwm works perfect and install custom rom? im now on xxkpe

You can flash bam's kernel directly.
Edit: it usually is okay, and your data shouldn't be wiped either.

Sweet! I flashed the kernel! Altough the first boot after flash took some time and it rebooted automagically, no further issues observed till now
Now that I'm rooted, I would like to change the bootanimation to a custom one. Can I follow this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161354 The instructions are for XXKPE. Will it work on my XXLE4 + bck custom kernel?

Install which rom? Over what? Have you installed cf-root or a cwm compatible kernel first?
You should read the flashing guides thoroughly before doing anything.

Hi and welcome to the Galaxy SL Forum, if you want to root update first to Gingerbread, try searching 'General Guide for i9003 Noob'
And for your questions:
1. No, you don't need internet, you only need it when you download ROMs, tweaks and CF-Root.
2. For downloading ICS apps on Froyo, no you can't . You can run ICS apps if you install custom ROMs that based on CM9 or CM10
Good luck with the phone mate

He didnt say he wanted ICS apps on froyo. He was asking if he would be able to download ICS apps straight from Play Store if he installed a ICS/+ custom rom. The answer is yes.

Is this what u asked..?
Sent from my GT-I9003 using xda premium
Yes. My procedure to go to ICS or JB based CROM is
1) flash xxkpe as per guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133787 .. download ROM file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1004647
2) flash ddlf2 per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1741370
3) Use CF-Root to root ddlf2 per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331253
4) Flash ICS or JB ROM of your choice, ONLY AFTER READING THE PARTICULAR THREAD
I'd still prefer you do more searching and reading before attempting something that you dont understand completely.

I'll answer your PM here.
As per what I read here, it is advised (by people's experience) that it's better to flash xxkpe(using ODIN) 1st then to a gingerbread valuepack firmware(i used ddlf2) of your choice, then to root it. Then flash any ICS/JB ROM of your choice.
Also, you need to understand you'll lose everything on your phone when you flash xxkpe using odin. Also, once rooted, you'll be unable to use Kies to restore your data. So, before attempting all this, make sure you backup everything that you'll regret losing.

there are many youtube tutorials and you can easily search for them and choose what is best for you but the thing you need to know about is that for upgrading your firmware from froyo to gingerbread you dont need rooting.. you can do it officially by downloading Samsung Kies or by following the simple steps from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1894737
Now after upgrading to gingerbread you can root your phone by following the simple steps using the link as above.
its okay to get confused the first time but follow the amazing simple steps from the above link and it should be just fine

Cwm from rom manager forced recovery loop
im using a sprint note 3 (sm-n900p) and i downloaded Rom Manager to get cwm and it said that it downloaded and installed just fine. i booted into recovery and it just loops over and over. If i remove battery and turn on normally, it'll continue to loop the same. the only solution to fix the loop i had was to take out the battery and boot into download mode, then i pressed down to cancel and it loads up normal. but for now, rom manager has messed up my recovery. (im not an expert on this, but im not a beginner either) just thought id give you guys a heads up
