A question about flashing my phone.

Do I need to root my phone to flash to gingerbread, valhalla, ics or any other stock?

No you don't have to root if you want stock gingerbread. Use Kies mini. We don't have ICS yet. To flash Valhalla you will need to root and a custom kernel. Look at the guide in the first link of my signature.

So, flashing to gingerbread is less risky than rooting and flashing to Valhalla... Can you give me the link for the guide to upgrade to gb?

1 way-If u can enter downloading mode than google for ur stock rom but be specific about ur model no...... Download the zip and follow the instructions written over there
2nd way-go to recovery and download any rom(cwm, aokp etc)
Note:2nd method will work only if u have custom recovery installed
What if not able to go to custom rwcovery? Keep ur phone ON till battery completely drains out and then try again........once battery is 0% charge it to full..... Check if its charging then nothing is work in hardware good to go
wipe data, cache then flash the rom and gapps ^_^

My wifi sucks and I can't watch root method videos online. .hook me up so I can roit my girls phone and stop listening to her whine about how lame her phone is compared to my Samsung galaxy s3 running wicked sensations ROM with new Christmas theme
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

bottom line, if she is on the latest ota there is no root method available unless the bootloader is unlocked which if not already unlocked on said ota, cant be unlocked.

She had never updated it..I don't know crap about her phone or Verizon do they automatically update?

This has been the easiest root ever. No hassle of having to connect to PC.
