Hello everyone!
I accepted an OTA update a while ago and noticed today that my root access disappeared. So, I went on-line and tried to do research to get root access back and all I found were websites telling me to never do an ota when rooted. However, I already did it and I couldn't find how to reroot my phone. Am I going to be rootless forever now? Does anyone know a way to get root access back? Please help me out~
Root like you normally would?
Updating while rooted is safe. If you have a modded system or recovery it will fail.
Any root method that worked previously will still work.
If you did it before you can do it again!

Agree. Just root it again.

Is there anyway I can downgrade my EVO back to 2.2 without a computer? When I first bought my phone it was already gingerbread, HELP PLEASE NO COMPUTER

If you are rooted you can download the ruu for 2.2 or just flash a 2.2 ROM. If not then no. You need the computer to push the root files.

there is no way to go back you are now stuck, my I suggest that you root it?
---------- Post added at 12:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ----------
yeah with no computer the best way would be to buy rom manager full version and do it all through there
Is there any specific reason that you want to go back to 2.2?
I couldn't find anything regarding this on the first pages and other threads are old so I was hoping you guys can help me out.
I had a locked operator Gnex and by using Galaxy Nexus ToolKit v7.3 provided here I successfully rooted,unlocked and installed stock JB (bigxie_maguro_JRO03C) on my device.
So now the issue that I have. I'm gonna give the phone to my gf who will be traveling often without me so I want her to have a stock device to get all future OTAs from Google.
How do I install stock recovery, ( maybe even unroot?) and which other settings should I change in order to get OTA installs without failures?
A step by step guide is not necessary but would help me :silly:
Thanks
I used a method found on galaxynexusforum, I can't post url but just google for "[HOW TO] Return to Stock Using Odin (VZW and GSM)".
I received the 4.1.1 OTA just a couple of days ago.
i think we can still receive OTA update even the phone is rooted as long as it is stock JB JRO03C as what i see from posts from other threads.
anyone can confirm this?

Stock without files REMOVED or modified.
Adding SU doesn't change the ability to get an OTA.
A custom recovery does, however.

OP: Follow this.
Ive got a galaxy note polish version, since poland was slow in receiving ics update, i flashed my with official open german version.
If there is OTA in future, will i receive this update automatically?

Jubakuba already awnsered you. Concerning system app removal, you need to put them back before OTA update.
Ok i understand now. Thank you for all your reply!

Thanks for the responses guys so let me recall.
I have to download this file
yakju JRO03C from IMM76I and use Method 1 - CWM 5.5.0.2 (i.e., NON-touch) recovery installed ? After I do this the update will erase CWM and my device would look like its a yakju model that just got JRO03C update right?
Root access
I have a sprint galaxy s3 and i received an ota update. My phone software was L710VPBLJ7 4.1.1. After the update my phone is now L710VPBMB1 4.1.2. I rooted my phone with odin and the zip i downloaded is root66_L710VPBLJ7. Do i need to download a different zip with the new software to give my phone root access?

Is there any chance you would want to root the 4.1.1 and pull an image of the bootloader using a script one of the XDA users prepared. Quite a few of us have hard bricked our phones and we would like to try and boot from an SD card with the 4.1.1 bootloader. If you can help here is the recovery flashable file to generate the image.

Someone who has FULLY updated to the new build NE4 needs to flash the linked file via custom recovery. This will create a new debrick.img on your sdcard that you can then upload to help rescue the dead devices here. If the new debrick.img has already been found, disregard this.
T999_Partial_Sys_Dump_for_Debrick.zip
I know it says T999 in the file name, but it should work for the I747 just the same.
Hope it helps!
Let me know if you can help.

I found this site has the MG2 4.1.2 update. Might be worth a try.
http://www.smartphonejam.com/2013/08/install-galaxys3-att-sgh-I747-4-1-2-jelly-bean-update-ucdmg2.html
I already rooted 4.1.1 I can dump it if you need it.

I tried that one but the update file is bad so it wont work.
Also. I have another s3 running 4.1.2 stock just rooted. Is there anything I could do with that phone to get it on to this one.

If you could dump that would help us out to see if it debricks us.

I'm assuming you don't want the rooted stock MG2 but if you do here is the link.

ok so i found out and figured out how to update back to 4.1.2
I had to Triangle away and odin back to stock 4.1.1 with no root
Then put the update421.zip from here
Then boot into the stock recover and flash the update file.
Bam now I have 4.1.2 Stock un rooted.
Next I'm going to root it and dump it for you.
If your phone isn't unlocked, you could flash back to 4.1.1 and unlock it.
If you are on 4.1.2 all you need to do to unlock is flash the 4.1.1 modem.
Hi I am new to this forum and since I have seen multiple methods of rooting, I want to know which root method for SM-T217S was most up to date and relevant.
Could anyone point me in the right direction?
Thank you
I used Odin to flash twrp, then just flashed the supersu Zip from there, or if I'm not mistaken, towel root is compatible with it, but i may be wrong
---------- Post added at 04:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------
Or you could Odin the recovery, then just install a rooted stock rom
Flashing supersu update zip from recovery is the easiest way to root this device
