Use the same method you used to root the first time.

Cuz he moved it...
Anyway to answer OP question, you root with the same method....regardless of your update. I did however hear that you might need a newer version of su.
Not su 3.0.5 but some other version....don't know where to get it either but maybe someone can help you from here. In summary.....SAME METHOD DIFFERENT SUPERUSER FILE VERSION.

[Q] ICS or latest

I haven't been around for a while and need to install latest T- Mobile ROM, but I cannot seem to find it.
Where can I find it?

Are you looking for the stock ROM? That would be 4.0.4 and you should be able to get it off of Kies. If you dont want Kies theres a sticky in the dev forum with all the ROMS.

Yes stock to test bluetooth problems that I'm having with other ROMs.

http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/ download that to your computer and run program. Then hook up your galaxy s2 to your computer with a data cable. Let it sync up. It'll show an update is available and install for you. Takes about 30 mins. Will go to ics 4.0.4.

The link I see uses ODIN, does that disable root and/or CWM access?

Stock roms boring but there are other stock less boring like [ROM] Tmo UVLE1 & Telus TLLE4 ICS Stock Rooted
or stable custom rom like dark side evolution v8< --------------(#1 in my book) just google them in case you change your mind.

Jelly Bean for AT&T S3? Please verify!

OTA update over rooted device?

I was reading that there's an OTA update launching (currently only in Germany), and I was wondering, so i would know in the future, if I could update my rooted S4. Would the software update interfere with root? Will it take it off or what?
I'm on stock rom btw

Most likely you would loose ROOT with an OTA update.
The only way you would not loose root with an OTA update
would be if the update did not contain a kernel.
Good luck!

You can't update if you're rooted. Just wait for the devs to incorporate the update into their roms.

Did some research.
You can update if you have root, but you will lose root, just like the second post said. I use a the stock rom, I don't use any custom roms so I can't depend on your second statement.

If you try to update while rooted, the phone will say updates not available on a modded device.

^^^ what he said

Get the latest firmware from Sammobile, install it via Odin, check the "keep root" option, voilà, now you have the latest stock rooted rom on the block.

Hangouts 2.0 in Google play store not updating

I'm trying to update my hangouts to 2.0 from Google play and it won't update to the latest version. I've cleared data and cache and still status in 1.2
Any help
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app

I have the same problem. I think it has something to do with the rom and the GAPPS that was downloaded with the ROM. For example: I have AOKP 10/31/13 release and the GAPPS for that. The GAPPS are themed black so there is some sort of difference in the app and the one on the Play Store so it doesn't want to update.
Someone else shed some more info on this.

It is because the version you are using is from the gapps you installed. Uninstall that version and reboot then go install from play store. If you're wanting a black version, check out team blackouts app on the play store for blacked or cleared versions of google apps and much more.

But I have a stock ROM.

I have a stock Rogers 4.1.2 ROM. but I am rooted
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app

I think it's hit or miss. I'm running SlimRom 4.3, and my Hangouts updated to 2.0. My girlfriend is running the exact same rom on the exact same phone with the exact same Gapps, and hers shows the update but when downloaded, it's still the old version. Who knows.

Thanks for reply.
I found a valid apk at the following head over and download it:
