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?

You can also skip the BS and just use Mobile ODIN to apply your OTA......

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

You could try to mobile Odin clockwork mod then flash the root .zip file.. I just borrowed a friends pc to root.. in theory you are good to go after that..
I've never used it but in theory it should work
Mobile Odin is available on play store and the root zip is floating around here.. let me know if u need a link for it

you could also have used a virtual machine or bootcamp or whatever else. as for OP, no at this point there is no way to root without a PC. Just find a friend that has one, or an internet cafe or something.

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

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.

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.

grab the rooted JB ROM for Odin, install virtualbox and windows xp Virtual machine and re-root. There may be an easier way, but this one works for sure.

I am running jellyverse fl16. I am needing to unroot because I am selling my phone and the person buying it is having it flashed to cricket. She took it to cricket and they said they cant flash it because its on jellybean. I juet need to unroot it and get it back to stock. I dont have a computer so I need to know if I can do this from mobie odin. I have tried to search this and came up with nothing. Can I use qbkings unroot video but from mobie odin. I also have a nanidroid thats a backup from the stock rom. If I can just flash that I would rather flash that but I didnt know if there would be any issues because im on jellybean and thats ics.

Use mobile odin to put the fi27 one click full restore on. Or even the new fL24 from sextape. That one is the newest ota from sprint. Plus if it is the one from sextape there is no root. If you do any method using mobile odin flash the modem in cwm before you odin. Mobile odin will not flash the modem. And if you put an ics rom on it wont have any data. Because ics will not use jb modems.
