You can try to get the fastboot drivers working and flash CWM with Junkies AIO tool then flash the root zip from there

[GUIDE] N00B Friendly OTA JB Install - Updated 7/14/13

Full directions on how to regain root after going to 4.1.2 in that guide

when i try to root with junkies it says permission denied

 

[TehJibba]

I didnt say to root with the tool. I said to use fastboot method to flash CWM, Once you get CWM on your phone you can flash the root zip

 

[swungspeedz]

what is fastboot and how do I use it ? i been trying all day...

 

[TehJibba]

read the links i provided you. If you read through them all it will get you up and running

Sweet, I got CWM , Do i just flash the root.zip through CWM?

 

[TehJibba]

yea download it and put on your sd card then go into CWM and choose install from zip

 

[swungspeedz]

i did this but when i go and restart and press the key combos it shows just the regular stock recovery mode, i did have cwm but its not there anymore. it seems like CWM was temp how do i make it permanent

 

[TehJibba]

Then use junkies tool over on the recovery options (on the right side) click fastboot and cwm, and flash it with his tool. if fastboot doesnt work click the link for getting fastboot to work i gave you

When it asks to disable recovery (stock), say YES

 

[SuperR]

did you use unmodified root or unmodified no root?

If you used unmodified root can you do us a favor before you fastboot cwm and grab a copy of the stock recovery?

In cmd in windows or terminal in linux/mac:

adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 of=/sdcard/b11_stock_recovery.img

If adb is working for you, you can also use it to flash cwm to the phone by putting the cwm recovery image on your sdcard (make sure it named the same as your command) and doing the following:

adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13
