Hey there,
in order to be able to receive future OTA-Updates, I have flashed the stock JRN84D (odexed) from Clockwork over the de-odexed v2 from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737849
Of course, by doing so, I lost root access and thus cannot go to clockwork recovery anymore. Now I would like to know how to regain root access.
In 4.0.4, I gained root via a few fastboot terminal commands (I'm on a Mac). Is there a similar way on 4.1?
Any help will be highly appreciated!
Cheers
Thomas
Okay now, this method still works on 4.1 and thus has done the trick: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19583168&postcount=1
I'm sorry that my first question had to be one that could be solved by searching just a *little more than I already had.
Keep up the good work!
Hi, i rooted my phone using the nexus root toolkit with permanent CWM when i was on android 4.1.1. Now i can't seem to update my phone to 4.1.2 OTA.
I did my readings and conclude that i need to manually flash the 4.1.2 update manually via CWM recovery mode. I've downloaded the necessary official 4.1.2 takju update.
So here's the thing...
How do i exactly go about manually flashing that update without messing things up or worse, bricking my phone at the end of the process? Will i lose my data/apps?
Your help is much appreciated!

I have a T-Mobile Galaxy S III and the last time I updated to 4.0.4 I was told I needed to get a Deodexed file, so I did, but I can't find that for 4.1
I have clockworkmod because I just booted into it and saw it, and I've got root on my phone. What do I need to do to get jelly bean and keep root?

Flash root66 stock rooted. Data should be preserved but I cannot guarantee

I would recommend doing it through Odin to get all the partitions.

Not sure if the links still work.

Sorry for the n00b question guys, I recently dropped Virgin Mobile and my Evo 3D for T-Mobile Galaxy S2. I successfully rooted the stock 4.0.4 rom, but then I downloaded the 4.1.2 rom and flashed through Odin. I also pushed the TWRP recovery and then pushed the SuperUser w/ BusyBox zip file and (from what I read) it said that should be rooted after my phone rebooted. No luck. If anyone has successfully rooted the stock 4.1.2 rom, please tell me the steps you used to do it. Sorry if I seem demanding, I'm just curious of why I wasn't successful.
When I rooted the 4.0.4, I used TB and debloated the whole rom and I figured everything would stay the same after I updated, I was wrong.
There's a guide that shows how to do it.
Here is the link. Rushing is a nice guy and can answer your questions.

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?

I used this when I first rooted my I747. http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-root/how-to-root-att-galaxy-s3-sgh-i747/

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.
