Hi Everyone,
This is a noob question. I rooted my phone and deleted a few apps. Now i want to get the latest update of Tmobile.com. What's the best way to get those updates? Do i go back to stock rom or just update my phone via KIES?
Thank for your help.

uhm I fixed it nooby
Was this the OTA update or were trying to update thru kies??
Is your phone rooted??
Ok so as this may be obvious I have a GS3 with 4.1.1 offical ota update. Now I want to root it but is there a root available for it? Also does the version matter when you root. One last thing I didnt get jellybean via flashing rather I got it from ota
Welcome to xda. This question has been answered a thousand times. A quick search should give you more information than you need.
i followed the unroot galaxy s3 thread because i accidentally pressed update when OTA update popped up on my rooted phone.
downloaded the latest android zip and updated with ODIN.
but it doesnt show 4.2 it still shows 4.1.1 android.
im a bit confused.
theres just too much **** available and i lost track of all these build numbers and updates and different programs.
i dont spend much time here anymore after i got rid of the HD2 and now im completely lost.
got other stuff to do cant afford spending 3 hours a day to stay on top of latest repackaged rom release

4.1.1 UVDLJC is the latest official firmware.
oh ok then i thought it was 4.2 for some reason
one more question that i could not understand clearly
once i root the phone again. what specific services do i need to disable to prevent the automatic OTA updates?
i disabled one service related to update but didnt see any others.
and once rooted. do i have to unroot it in order to use odin and manually install OTA update that i downloaded?
im not planning to use custom roms( spent toomuch time making them wrk on HD2 and done with that for good)
jsut stock tmobile roms work fine for me.
thanks for quick reply i was about to try flashing again since i thought that it was supposed to be 4.2 version

You don't have to do anything with ota. When next one comes out you can unroot and install the ota as long as you hav stock recovery. If you have custom recivery you can always update with Samsung kies but you would need to reroot the new ROM. Or just flash a ROM through Odin.

I have a s3 currently running on 4.0.4.. (this was just used as a backup phone, now since my iphone is broken i have to use this one)
I tried to update OTA but everytime I check for an update, my phone always says its up to date. So is there a manual way I can perform this update? Can someone please refer me to a thread if this question has already been answered? It would gladly be appreciated. Samsung tech support wasn't any help and the people at best buy want 200.00 just to update which is bull.
You have a few options. You can update through kies, but I personally never liked kies so couldn't help much there.
Or you can flash the firmware via Odin. You can get up to 4.1.2 from http://sammobile.com/firmwares
Or you can get 4.3 firmware from enewman17 in the development section. If you want to update all the way to 4.4.2, follow his how to update thread in the General section.
Hi guys. I have this sgh i747(unlocked) im using it in Europe and i have updated it with kies to 4.1.1. now i want to update is further more but idk how. I cant do it OTA cuz i dont have American card. Is therr any way to update it without getting rooted? And if thete is pls tell me if phone will get locked after that. Thanks in advance, im kinda noobish when it comes with updates. excuses
Is your 4.1.1 ROM completely stock? Have you tried doing an OTA update via wifi?
Once your phone it sim unlocked, it will not re-lock after an update.
Unlocking is permanent, just to confirm. And afaik, the only way you'll be able to update without flashing a custom recovery (I assume you don't want this since you don't want root), is to flash the 4.3 (MJB) firmware via Odin. You can find it in a thread in the General section.
After updating to 4.3, use the OTA made available in the same General section to update to 4.4.2.
