Hey I'm sorry I'm on mobile right now, someone know where I can get the latest rooted stock rom as flashable zip and not odin? Wanted to see if I could do it now from the phone. The stock sticky thread in development might not seem up to date? If it is I'll just go there, but am not sure so just wanted to ask. Thanks!

Looks like ODIN is it, not sure but I think mobile ODIN works also with the S3. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737859, after you flash this, force phone to update to get latest software.

No, youll have to use mskips toolkit or other root methods. Thats a nonrooted stock rom, has to be rerooted, cant just add SU.

I believe that if you purchase the Mobile ODIN Pro app from the market the app will root the stock ROM for you, automatically, as it's being flashed. Here's the link to the dev's (Chainfire) thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899

I am stock and rooted. I woke up this morning with a CONGRATULATIONS!!! message saying there is an OTA for me... I tried to update and it wouldnt let me cuz im rooted...
I looked into it and found I could use mobile odin to unroot...
I have the app (mobile odin) I do not have the tar file. Is there a link handy?
With maybe a how-to?
Thx in advance

You can get all the FW and itas here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949687
Just to clarify, Mobile Odin won't unroot you, but it will reinject root during flash so you stay rooted.
Also you can get the ota if rooted but if you don't have stock recovery, modem and everything else it'll fail.
Using Mobile Odin and the fw in my thread will work. Just make sure the Everroot options are selected to keep root.
Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper can temp unroot you so maybe that's what you were thinking of?

Well if your just trying to unroot, go into your root program and have it uninstall itself. SuperSU and SUperuser both support the ability for them to fully uninstall themselves.
Will just need to install root via recovery again once your updated.... Pretty easy
Wellllll... I got a super root kit from this site rooted just fine but removed it frim my computer avg said it was infected.
Is that what you mean forgive me for being nooby
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Mobile Odin should support internal sd.... I guess you have the free version from his thread here? I didn't realize it didn't support internal...sorry bout that.
In that case just plug into the computer and use pc odin. You can use regular fw or MrRobinsons root66 fw which is pre-rooted. You can find his thread in development.

I am only focusing on your phone. IF your rooted, then you will have an app in your app drawer called either superuser or supersu (That is your root ) Open that and click full uninstall, then your unrooted.
When your done with the update, you can use Odin (Windows Version) to flash a custom recovery and then install the supersu.zip file located in chainsfire's thread.
I have superuser. I cannot find an option within the app to do a uninstall.

Why bother with OTA when you are rooted...there are a lot of custom ROMS with good potential
Well. With my galaxy s1 I did the whole flashing a new rom every week thing.. none of them worked properly... every rom had at least one problem wether it was wifi calling or gps or battery issues... I dont know convince me to start doing it again with jelly bean right around the corner

Root should be fine. Its the custom recovery that'll prevent you from even being able to get the update.
You will lose root though unless you use voodoo rootkeeper or mobile odin pro.

Its pretty straight forward actually. There should be steps laid out in post 2 of the fw thread and I believe Theexel hasit in his thread stickied in this section.
If you have any problems let me know, but don't see a reason to retype it all again!

Along the same lines...I just got an s3 yesterday and rooted stock 4.0.4. Used OTA root keeper, downloaded the ota for JB and when I attempt to upstate it fails....I have stock recovery. No idea why it keeps failing. I would Odin the prerooted JB but my wife doesn't want to lose her settings she already set up. Any ideas?

You probably have a custom recovery causing it to fail.
Regardless of how you update you will possibly lose some settings. Its recommended, but not required to do a clean update anyway. But flashing with odin should preserve your settings as well as the ota would. Once they boot up it shouldn't matter as the resulting build is the same.

Depends if you've done anything to your current build.
Cwm will flash it, but I just don't care for it. Caused probs for quite a few people.
But you have to be full stock. No mods, no deodexing, no bloat removal, no modems flashed, etc.
Then you should be able to flash it in cwm.
Its preferred you do it through stock recovery. You can use voodoo rootkeeper to preserve root.

That has everything you need to gain root. What you do from there is up to you. I've personally used it on both the ICS and JB stock images. Worked perfectly.
Search before you make a new thread next time though. Took me all of 15 seconds to find that when I first got on here.
I am still new to the forums and flashing ROMs. I want to go back to the stock ROM, but I've seem to have lost my stock ROM I originally set up before I started flashing. Can anyone please direct me to where I can download the stock ROM. Thanks

The T999L is the Superior Cousin T999 never was. It has an LTE antenna that the T999 is missing. Practically all the Custom Roms will work fine from one to the other.
If you want to flash custom Recovery then use Goo Manager and hit Install Custom Recovery Script.

You need to use ODIN to flash that Version. There's plenty of Tutorials on How to use ODIN.

Could be your Bootloader is locked.
Are you absolutely sure you are successfully Rooted ? Please use Root Checker App if in doubt.
When you tried to flash the Recovery via ODIN, what was the error ? Can you post a screenshot ?
With due respect "Everything Fails" doesn't really tell me squat.
I'll do that when i get back home.

i tried it via odin again and it worked i have no idea what was wrong with it, thanks for finding those TWRP files for me.
Do a quick search before going any further. I have a T999L thread that answers most any question you may have.
