i would like to root my phone but would still like to receive stock ics when it comes out, but i read if you are rooted and have CWM you wont get OTA updates so i was wondering is there a way to root only. i found this (link at bottom) would it just root and not install anything else?

That would just give you root access.
But read this. It's useful information.

well, most of the ROMs are based off stock, and will probably get the upate notification. However, you might have troubles updating through OTA because of this..
You can:
update through kies
flash a deodexed and rooted stock ICS ROM when released for t989
flash stock build through odin.
I would just flash a rooted rom to make like easier.
Good day,
I recently jumped ship to JB!
I used to run 4.0.4 unlocked rooted. Yakju.
Converted it to Takju.
and thus loosing root access.
Can someone guide me on what file I need to push via CMW to root 4.1.1 this time around?
Been searching the forums but I cant seem to find a working one using CMW.
Thanks!
finally, with several trial and errors...
made 4.1.1. rooted with cmw. :cyclops:
So recently I rooted my phone to ICS, using an AT&T leak. I flashed it, and all has been working until now. I tried to boot into download mode, and it won't work. I have tried many various tutorials to try and get it into download mode (For reference, I want to boot into download mode because I plan on using dman's cyanogenmod 10 glide release, and wanted to make sure all was working before I rooted again). So, knowing that something was wrong, I tried using various programs and apps to attempt to uninstall the current ICS ROM. However, all apps that I tried claim that I'm not rooted. I've done a few factory resets, and I made sure to check that my 'About Phone' settings did in fact say I was on 4.0.4. I know it is the leak, because the baseband clearly says I'm on I927UCLG9. Would be willing to upload any screenshots if necessary. Can anyone help me figure out what could be wrong? Would it be possible to simply wait for the official ICS update from AT&T, or would I have to unroot to do so? The main problem for me is that everything says I'm not rooted in any way, yet I know I clearly am. Sorry to be a complete idiot, just began rooting, and didn't think I would run into problems based on the replies to the original forum.
Just because you flashed the AT&T leak does not give you ROOT. you need to get root in 1 of 2 ways.
1. VIA CWM Install the Super User package.
2. VIA CWM install a Rooted ICS Kernel (Like Lite Kernel).
Both methods listed require CWM (Clock Work Mod) which you need to install via ODIN in PDA mode.
If you can find it you can also via Odin install a Rooted ICS Kernel (Not same file as used in CWM).

I followed zedomax's tutorial on rooting after for some reason after being on stock rooted with TWRP I was able to install stock 4.1 jelly bean. After device reboots from odin I get no root. It would be nice to get root and TWRP back to get to my backups. Any help appreciated!

I've noticed once I root my first reboot I can get into CWM but if I reboot again im back to stock?
Maybe samsung prevented rooting with the new 4.1 jelly bean.
hey guys. lurker turned new poster here at XDA. a friend of mine turned me on to this a while back when he introduced me to the world of rooting. I've recently bought a Galaxy S III (SGH-i747), and I've been trying to root it using mskip's unified toolkit (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1979290). I got it rooted once, but eventually bricked it when trying to get 4.4 on it, and had to reinstall the stock 4.1.1 rom on it and lost the root in the process.
I'm completely new to all this, and I'm still trying to figure it out. I've been searching as much as I can and reading a lot, but I'm not sure if there's something I'm missing here. when I try to root it lately using the toolkit, it gets stuck in the process after I exit Odin, and will never progress.
before when the root was actually in place, I tried to install a custom OS after doing a full wipe of the system, and it never would install. I tried it with TWRP and CWM, and there was no success with either of them. the one peculiar thing, however, is that I could never get it to install with the "ALLINONE" option. when I got it to work that once, I had to install it each individually.
is there some sort of guide out there that would make this easier for me to get 4.4 on the phone? or will someone be able to help me through the process?
thank you for your time!
I just rebooted my comp, reinstalled the drivers for the phone through the toolkit, and gave it one more shot at rooting it (option 1 in the program), and this is what the process looked like.
*see attached image*
I *always* get stuck at the "pushing superuser.apk and su binary.." part.
any thoughts?

My Bell s3 was on 4.1.2. I rooted by installing a rooted rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
Do not flash a 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 rom if you have a bootloader from 4.3.
when I got the phone, it had 4.1.2 on it. when I bricked it, I flashed a stock 4.1.1 ROM on it, and that's what I've been using as my base ROM.
Boomer1605: I'll try that when I get home.
anyone else know what is up with the place I get stuck at during the toolkit way?
My Bell s3 was on 4.1.2 when I got it. SInce I needed to unlock it and didn't want to pay, I installed the stock Bell 4.1.1 firmware from here: http://www.sammobile.com/.
After using the menu option to unlock the phone and confirm that it was unlocked, I flashed the pre-rooted Bell s3 4.1.2 rom.
Everything worked perfectly, no errors or issues at all.
Cool! Can I find a pre-rooted 4.1.1 AT&T rom on that site? I can't really look at that link cause I'm currently at work.
Pre-rooted roms are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
I was able to install Root Explorer on my pre-rooted ROM and delete a tonne of Samsung apps.
I was able to install a pre-rooted version of 4.1.1, and I did a system/data/cache/dalvik wipe from the TWRP screen, but when I tried to install both Liquid Smooth and Omni Rom, it failed. I even restarted and didn't wipe, and it still failed. not sure where to go from here... :/

totally got it to work! I skipped using the toolkit to install TWRP, and used GooManager to use the latest TWRP. worked like a charm! currently running on Liquid Smooth 4.4.2!
thanks for the rooted copy of 4.1.1!

Awesome! Congratulations. For future reference, TWRP also had tar images for use with Odin.
