Just root like you did the first time

as they all have said.
I was on this new update but didnt see a point in it as of right now since ill wait the official ota ics to drop and become a flashable zip.
I was able to re-root it again using Odin. It wasn't that I didn't know how to do it, I just wanted to see if anyone else has done it just to know if it works out okay. And it turns out everything is okay. I'm paranoid...
Anyways thanks for your responses.

If you want to stay rooted, flash the LG1 package from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426. That post also has the GoogleQuickSearchBox app from LEM if you want to put back universal search.
Yup, I had the "update available" notification, then updated to UCALG1 and still have root and so far I haven't been bothered by another update notification.
let me try and clear things up sorry for the confusin, i am rooted and want to stay rooted. at&t sent that ota update about a month ago i guess now and it ask me to update when i try and update it starts to the restarts phone and sends me to recovery and i reboot system and it says update failed. id like to update it if i can keep root but not sure how to do that. my recovery is cwm-based recovery v5.5.04. i know there is a work around i think it has to do with the odin but i have no idea how to do that one. phone specs are baseband version i747uclem. kernel is 3.0.8-599060-user build number is imm75d.i747ucalem im not sure ill miss the universal search as i dont believe i use it if it just takes away the widget.
Here's my experience:
Got AT&T SGS3 from local retailer. It had I747UCALEM ROM.
Restored stock kernel via method in [Root]/[Restore]Our ATT SGS3 Tested working! thread using ODIN.
Installed ClockworkMod
Flashed rooted I747UCALEM ROM from [HOWTO] [ROOT] No Tripping Flash Counter - Updated [ATT / Bell / Telus / Rogers] thread using ODIN
Verified root via SuperUser and Titanium Backup
Installed ClockworkMod Touch for AT&T from [HOWTO] [ROOT] No Tripping Flash Counter - Updated [ATT / Bell / Telus / Rogers] thread in the Third, (optional) section.
A few days later, I got an AT&T Software Update notification.
I tried to apply the update, and it rebooted and told me the update could not be applied, so I told it to Postpone.
About a week later or so it nagged me again, so I revisted the [HOWTO] [ROOT] No Tripping Flash Counter - Updated [ATT / Bell / Telus / Rogers] thread and noticed the I747UCALG1 rooted ROM was available.
I downloaded the I747UCALG1 rooted ROM and applied via ODIN
After application, checked root again, and still rooted
All good (as far as I can tell), and no more AT&T Software Update nags! Now I know to freeze the app via Titanium Backup if I have the problem again, or probably I should just freeze it regardless so it stops checking period.
So in your case since you're already rooted on I747UCALEM like I was, I think all you need to do is apply the I747UCALG1 rooted ROM via ODIN and you'll be good like me.
Hope that helps clear things up for you.
So not sure if i know to do it but i think u download file to computer and open in Odin put phone in download run Odin go to recovery unzip file. Correct me if I'm wrong

Pretty much you got it. Just remember to extract the tar and use PDA mode in ODIN.
The instructions in the Second, section of the [HOWTO] [ROOT] No Tripping Flash Counter - Updated [ATT / Bell / Telus / Rogers] thread, that's what I followed. It tells you exactly what you need to do.
What is tar?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Sorry, extract the tar file out of the .7z file, you don't need to do anything with the tar file beyond feeding it to ODIN. Just don't try to feed the .7z file to ODIN as it won't know what to do with it.
But if you're insanely curious, tar is a tape archive file from the *nix days, it's a concatenation of files and their attributes.
More on tar on Wikipedia
i noticed on the other thread it says u can stop at a certain point if u arent gonna flash roms. im not sure im going to on this phone yet or not can i go back and do the third step if i decide i wanna do roms or would i be better off going ahead and going all the way thorugh? or do i even have to since i already have clockworkmod?
As I understand things, because you're rooted already (or maybe because we have clockworkmod), the standard AT&T update doesn't work. Regardless, if out did work we'd lose root in the update.
The AT&T update check still runs in the standard (rooted) ROM so you are getting nagged about the newer version.
So...
OPTION A - UPDATE AND KEEP ROOT
If you want to update and keep root, you need to manually apply the newest rooted stock ROM from the thread with ODIN.
Once you do that the AT&T updater should see your ROM is current and will stop nagging.
OPTION B - DON'T UPDATE AND KEEP ROOT
Freeze the AT&T software update application from Titanium Backup.
Then you won't be nagged about the software update anymore.
You won't have the newest ROM but at least you keep root.
OPTION C - LOSE ROOT AND UPDATE LIKE STOCK PEOPLE DO
I haven't looked into unrooting so I can't tell you how to do this one, but you'd be back to "normal people" world.

For this you'd flash a non-rooted, stock ROM through ODIN.
I couldn't find a thread with this already but if there is one i'm sorry.
Here are the latest updates for the sprint s3 with the annoying parts that removed that override the recovery. It will not trigger the flash counter
I did the no counter flash root method once I installed CWM OTA updates did not work for me. If you're like me and are stuck on that root injected rom you can flash these zips to get you updated.

Take a look in the android dev sections to this forum. If you ever update once rooted, you should be flashing a new ROM (clean or dirty flashing) to receive the next update. Running stock ROM in between a Sammy update and while having the older ROM without the newest update will yield that result.

There are plenty of reasons for rooting but remaining stock (such as: tethering, Droid wall, Titanium Backup to allow me to backup and restore app data, removing bloat, etc).
I have flashed custom rooms in the past on my Evo but right now I am happy with my S3 at stock.

I was in the same boat at you. I put it off for a while but finally decided to update tonight. I followed the steps posted here.
You can update your baseband by flashing a properly packaged official baseband zip, or flash from recovery tool (my preference), like the one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29820376. There are also unofficial, or leaked basebands, available to flash from all-in-one zips, such as the one here: http://goo.im/devs/freeza/Galaxy-S-fre3-LIGFirmwareModemAIO.zip.
As far as the build version goes, that does not have to match your baseband (modem). Most of the ICS ROMs are LG8, although there are some LI3 ICS ROMs to choose from. There's also a leaked build of Jellybean, builds LIF & LIG, with a third leak LIH reportedly coming out tomorrow. Once rooted, you can update your build version by flashing the ROM of your choice, based upon the build of your choice.
One of the top developers, and probably the greatest asset to this community, is freeza. He explained the difference very well here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32095775
That's a long-winded response, but I hope it answered your original question, and helps you out.
Have fun!
Edit: Once you're rooted, you'll still receive OTA update notifications, which will continually annoy you until you choose to update and reboot. Once you reboot, the update will fail because of your custom recovery (you will NOT lose root) and the notification will go away....until the next OTA...

Excuse me for my stupidity but I'm new to android. I'm also using the sprint variant of the s3 and have it rooted with stock rom. However my build number is IMM76D.L710VPALF9. I'm assuming the last 3 are the update versions. What is the current version and how do I update to it?
Also, I'm rooted with Clockwork mod 5.5.0.4. How do I upgrade this to version 6.0.1.2? Will I have to unroot then root again?
Thanks for clearing anything you can up. Don't mean to pirate the OP but I figured I'd post in this thread rather than make a new one. Thanks again.

You can flash a new recovery using ODIN, or Mobile ODIN. I use Mobile ODIN. There's a thread on recoveries here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31894089

That is one of the reasons that I am rooted... so I can use WiFi Tether. I do not it much. Hardly any data at all. But when I am in a spot and need a wireless connection and I only have my phone it comes in handy.
Some other reasons:
- DroidWall: Lets me block individual apps from accessing the internet.
- AddFree: Block ads in some apps.
why would you do that?

Been searching and I can't figure this out.
I have a rooted S3 and I can't get 4.1.2 OTA.
I also have no access to a PC I can install Kies on.
What is another solution to getting the update on a rooted S3?
Do you have a custom recovery installed? If so, you can just flash a debloated stock 4.1.2 ROM from the development section.

This shouldn't mess with settings right? the reason I haven't messed with ROMs on this one is because it's all set up like I like it.

I never recommend dirty flashing (flashing one ROM over another, especially when updating to a newer version of android) it eventually just leads to problems and you'll have to start over again sooner or later.
If you do it the right way, you will have to re-setup the ROM again, pictures, music and files like that will be fine but you'll lose all of your settings.
If you do decide to flash ROMs, before you do, search how to backup your imei, you'll be glad you did if you ever lose it.

It's stock rooted is all, don't want to delete everything just for 4.1.2.
I'll keep searching but it would be easiest to find the update zip file, especially since I won't have access to Odin or anything else to back stuff up and flash in an efficient way
EDIT:
Would sending this zip to the sdcard and apply update through CWM work?

That's the firmware for Odin it looks like. If you want you can just download the OTA from my firmware thread. Flash in CWM and it should work and allow you to preserve root. Probably the easiest way to get what you want. If you can use Odin from another computer, root66 is definitely preferred, but there's more than one way to do it.
I agree about the dirty flashing, for the most part. Since you are simply updating the stock firmware, you should be fine. Clean is better of course, but it's up to you. Without starting clean.you do run the risk of having issues down the road, and then you wouldn't even know why.
If you decide to try the OTA, please take a few min to read what I've got there.
