In short: I want to go from rooted ics to rooted jellybean stock, while in between factory reset or whatever for no overlapping errors.
So the new jellybean update just released and I want to update to it. I'm rooted w/ wicked v7 ROM ICS. The only time I used Odin was when I rooted my phone through the toolkit. So I have the jellybean Odin file, how do I root and install costume recovery after? thx.
Edit: okay I done some more research, I find that I can just use the root66 odin method that already has root which if I remember correctly was the same method used in the toolkit for root? But its not out yet for jellybean. I guess I'll have to wait? I have no idea. I don't know.
Edit2: or wait. I could Odin to root66 ICS, use voodoo root keeper, and ota to jellybean?

I've searched the forums and haven't found a real clear answer to the questions I have.
First of all, I have the OTA ICS update waiting for me. Right now, I'm rooted running Gingerbread with the stock ROM. I'd really like to install the update, but I've got concerns.
Do I need to unroot my phone first before the update? If so, how? I've read several different articles, but they're all different, and people always have some issue or another with the methods. Is there a surefire way?
I know I should back up my phone, but to be honest, I'm not quite sure how! What's the best/easiest way?
I just simply can't afford to brick my phone! Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Heres the deal.. If you update you will be fine it will break root youll be on stock ics .
Then reroot and install agat cwm recovery all this can be done by downloading the root and recovery script on your pc.
You can also use odin and download the pre rooted stock ics rom and odin flash it

Back up your apps with a appbackup in market or use titanium backup
To be honest id just download odin
And the prerooted stock ics and flash it
It should have cwm installed after u flash also

So I shouldn't use the OTA update? Isn't that the easier way?
Use this link to odin flash the same ota ics update as a rom Via odin
Its rooted and just what u want

So I can flash one of those 4.1.1 stock roms on stock recovery? If so could you let me know how
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
You can flash the otas in stock recovery if thats what you mean. But you have to be full stock UVALH2 first.
If you mean one of the roms based on those leaked otas then you have to flash with cwm or twrp.

Well I went to that website that was posted above and it showed 4.1.1. I am on complete stock uvlh2 right now. Just was wondering if and how you flash that or if I need to root and do it through CWM

Ok, first and just fyi, all of the files listed under OTA on that site are leaked, unofficial updates. Each has its own.....quirks. the only officially released ones are above the otas listed under firmware i believe. Only ics 4.0.4 are official builds.
The otas are basically patches, not full firmware. They patch existing files to update them to a newer release.
If you still want to go with the otas there are a few ways to do this.
The official way:
From full stock UVALH2 (no mods, debloating, modem must match, stock recovery, root is ok) boot into recovery and flash.
If previously rooted you can attempt to preserve root using Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper.
Mobile Odin method (root required):
Get free Mobile Odin from xda, get full version on play store. (Full version will inject root during flash. I highly recommend this method)
Open Mobile Odin and choose OTA/Update.zip. Select the OTA you wish to flash. If pro version make sure EverRoot options are selected. Do not check wipe data, cache or dalvik. Press Flash Firmware and confirm to start the process.
CWM method (root required):
I have not fone this myself so try to confirm elsewhere the exact steps. Using latest cwm recovery, flash ota file and when asked do not flash recovery. When flashing is complete then flash a cwm flashable version of SuperSu/Superuser. Reboot.
After flashing any ota check for these files and if present delete or rename them. They rewrite stock recovery every boot.
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
Thats it! If i missed anything please let me know, particularly with cwm method. Thx
Alternatively you can just flash a rom in dev section based on these otas.
Hope that helps! Good luck!

Or will upgrading through Keis to Jelly bean from a rooted ICS brick the phone? Should I just go and download a Jelly Bean ROM and flash it through Odin to make sure everything works and nothing is bricked? Thanks.
Upgraded to JB via Kies without issues from rooted stock rom.

The no-trip root method has already updated with JB images.

If I wanna upgrade to the official JB and my S3 is rooted with custom rom, is it safe to upgrade to official jb via Kies? Or should I go back to stock ics before upgrading?

If you want to go from a custom ROM to stock JB, Kies won't do it. You will need to flash via Odin. You will loose root and your custom recovery.

Link please ? Do that Odin program and how to flash JB on it
If you're going to have to use odin anyway, you should consider installing mrRobinson's root-injected stock jellybean rom. Then you won't have to worry about rooting it. Worked awesome on my stock rooted ICS with stock recovery. Also worked awesome on my son's stock rooted ICS with CWM. Here's the link. Everything you need to know is in the first post.

Hey there, I have a rooted S3 (rooted with Snapdragon toolkit) and I have not updated my phone since I've gotten it. Is there a way for me to update my phone using Odin without having to unroot my phone first? If so, where can I download the updates for the Wind Mobile version of the S3? Also, If I update my phone using Odin, will it wipe all data from the phone?
Thanks for any help.
Go here, download the root66 jellybean rom for you carrier and flash it with desktop Odin. You will keep root, apps, settings, everything. These have superSU, yours probably has superuser so you will end up with both. Just open superSU, it will ask you to update the binary and it will take over. Then you can just disable or install superuser if you wish.

That tells me you did not read the thread at all, root66 by mrRobinson rooms are fully stock Samsung firmware with only one modification, root injected on it, so you don't have to do it yourself, and you don't trip the counter in the process of rooting it either.

You're right, after I saw the word 'rom' I thought you were talking about a completely different rom and didn't bother to check. Thanks, I will definitely check this out.
