Had to exchange my rooted sg2 cause it took a crap. My question is this. When I got the new one it had the update on it already. Can I still root it? Do I need to wait for a new Juggernaut or can I flash 3.7 on my phone even though it has update?

Im sure you can still root with 2.3.6 the newest update. you can flash juggernaut 3.7 but you will have 2.3.5 you can wait for juggernaut to be updated, which im sure will have the latest firmware and wifi calling
You can flash the rooted stock ROM by Mr.X
You won't need to update your baseband since it's probably already in.
I rooted it through ODIN just like I did 2.3.5 with no problems
It is more correct to say that you can use the Odin method to root 2.3.6 SuperOneClickRoot does not currently work on our phones when they've been updated to 2.3.6.
I would follow babymatteo's advice and flash Mr. X's rooted KL1 rom. it runs flawlessly.

So, in that thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743352 there is a rooted OTA Froyo for the EVO, I have two questions about it. 1) do I use the same method as in this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=690762
2) can I update from the 3.36.651.3 (leaked build) directly?
Holey F'n Crap....that was literally 4 minutes from when I bumped the NO ROOT ON 2.2 thread. Seriously!!!
You cannot load a ROM unless you are rooted...there is no root for 2.2. No you cannot load a rooted 2.2 ROM over a non rooted version of anything.
Interesting, I was able to load the leaked 2.2 on my stock unrooted EVO.... So is that only possible with the official updates????

Yes.
(....)
From the rooted Froyo link
You might be able to just flash this over the leaked ota, but I advise doing a full wipe before flashing just to be safe.

Does that mean the leaked version that came out a few days before the OTA or a rooted version of the leaked one that came out a few days early???
There are now rooted versions of both. It would mean the rooted version.
Hey guys,
So I am on EG30 modem (stock), and I only installed crawlcj's odexed stock rooted ROM.
I got the OTA update notification today morning and I just pressed update and walked away for like 30 minutes, and when I came back there was a yellow triangle with the android figure on the screen and it seemed to be stuck.
So I just held down the power button to turn the phone back on and it seems that the phone is still working fine under EG30 but EK02 was nowhere to be found.
I'd like to get the EK02, do you know why it failed and what I need to do to get the OTA to install correctly?
Thanks in advance
it failed because you are rooted and dont have stock recovery anymore. so if you want to upgrade to EK02 you should just flash the update that is posted already for rooted phones its fast and easy to do.this is the link to get you right to the new modem. after you flash the modem upgrade just chose a rom that has also be upgraded too. now you have the new update its just that easy

I'm going to jump onto this thread to because I'm having the same issue (and have searched this high and low for a solution). I have Crawrj's Stock EG30 Deodexed with Root 3.0/Busybox 1.18.4 on my phone. All I would like to do is to upgrade to EK02 and 2.3.6 (which I'm not sure if it's one and the same), remain stock but retain root. I don't have an SD card in my phone and I don't have clockworkmod (@ewalk4366 the video in your link assumes the upgrader has CWM). Since the OTA failed, I'm at a loss of how to proceed next. It seems I'm missing one thing or another when it comes to trying to upgrade. Any help would be appreciated.
P.S. Sorry for some noob butter but I still don't have all the terminology down correctly, so there may be times where I say modem but I mean rom and visa versa. For the sake of this thread, I think I'm saying what I mean.
just install the new EL13 modem using odin... i hope you are rooted

Thanks for your response but don't I still have the stock recovery? Crawlrj's odexed busybox rooted 3.0 rom didn't have any other recovery mods..
And I'd like to have the completely stock version of the EG30 ROM and the Modem.. So I should flash both? Wouldn't that erase my memory?
Skoksn,
I was using this thread and a few others to solve my problem which I think was similar to yours

I'm on T-Mobile USA, and have stock rom (2.3.6, Baseband T989UVKL1, Kernel 2.6.35.11, Build: GINGERBREAD.UVKL1). This phone is completely stock right now.
I just got the notification about the OTA, which I assume will be to ICS.
Questions before I accept the OTA update:
1. Will I be able to root after installing the official stock ICS update?
2. If so, would I use the ODIN method, or some other method?
3. Other than bloat, are there any known issues with the stock ICS rom.
4. Should I install CWM before accepting the OTA update?
Basically, I've tried looking but there doesn't seem to be much information about the official stock ICS update, probably because it is just starting to be rolled out.
Never mind. Just re-saw this http://www.tmonews.com/2012/05/t-mobile-rolling-out-galaxy-s-ii-maintenance-update-no-ice-cream-sandwich-yet/ and realized this update likely isn't ICS yet.
so i rooted my Sprint galaxy s3, Currently i have clockworkmod with a phantom "blazer". My question is why cant i update my phone? i have baseband version ending in lg2, when the update came out already which ends in lg4? my phone tried giving me the update but when i started the update it wouldnt go through? am i suppose to change the recovery back to stock? I just dont want to miss out on the jellybean update. Will i have to go back to factory?
ps. the "blazer" rom is super fast!!!!

Baseband only refers to the modem. If you search the development threads, you will find zips to update the modem in clockwork.
As for stock updates, they require the stock recovery to work so if you have clockwork or twrp recovery installed, you will have to go back to stock to receive the ota updates.
Finally on the Jellybean update, you won't miss it. When released, I'm sure the awesome Devs here will pick it up and it would only be a matter of time before a custom rom is released. The benefits of running 'custom' far outweigh anything that releases 'stock'.
Hi im a newbie and I wast just wondering if anyone knew where I can find the latest firmware update? I have an att note 2 that I flashed back to stock 4.1.1 and then rooted it but im having a hard time flashing all the latest custom roms like they keep failing! So my only guess is that my modem or kernel or baseband or bootloader needs to be updated or something! So my question is is there a way I can keep root and update these and if so how would I go bout doing so? Any answers would be much appreciated!
The simplest, but not fastest, would be to flash back to a completely stock 4.1.1 from and run ota updates until the phone is running 4.4.2.
