No ota?

Stock rooted ROM wont be able to get the latest ota?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

I think you will need to be back on stock with a stock recovery. I tried flashing an ota a while ago when was stock rooted and it failed at 25% or somewhere in there

Yes and you need to be unrooted as well. You can use OTA Rootkeeper from the market to temp un-root, take OTA and the re-root.

I have the stock recovery, and I do have that app. I'll give it a go.

Where would one pick up just the stock recovery that they had in UVLH2?

If you have Mobile Odin you can load up the whole FW and then pick only recovery to flash.
Also Cybernook has a stock recovery a few threads down, but we are not sure which version it is.
Or if you can wait just a bit ill get it uploaded and get out the link.

Thanks!

The OTA isn't available to everyone yet. My phone is stock and not rooted and the OTA doesn't show up yet.

[Q] Am I good to go for update?

I have the T999UVLH3 Modem and I'm running on Deodexed_T999UVALJ4 ROM. Am I good to go for the JB update?

Not the ota. But you can still Odin flash the full FW.

Is there any difference between doing that and an OTA update?

Ok thanks. But I'm a little confused on which instructions from his thread I should use.

If you want to use the stock or root66fw, use the instructions for odin.
I know its a little cluttered. Im gona try to reorganize a littl in the next few days. Sorry bout that.

Yes, but nandroid first just in case.
Use the link in my sig for the firmware thread.
Download the UVDLJA firmware, root66 version if you want to be rooted, and flash via Odin.
Thats it!
Sometimes itll hang at boot forcing a factory reset, so nandroid first.

T999v jellybean ..

So im on stock rooted and lets say i get the update but im rooted do i need to unroot to proceed ??.. or i can do it whit root? Cant wait for some jellybean goodies
Sent from my SGH-T999V using xda premium

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.

Check the stickies. Flash twrp through Odin, then flash root or pre-rooted rom through twrp.

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.

GB27 root?? (same as previous leak)

I just updated my phone through Kies. I would like to have root back obviously, but not sure if that has been posted anywhere.

It is the same as the leak. You could have just stayed...

I was stock rooted ICS before. Didn't see a diff was done.
To get root back can I flash the one from the repository with no data? Or is there a simpler solution

(Sorry if I'm asking a repetitive question.)
Does the leak GB27 match the official GB27 that just came out?
I'm on FL24 stock + root. I don't want to use flash an unrooted FL24, download Kies, update to GB27, then root it.
Wondering if I can just use the One-Click method from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191954
so I can avoid doing all that work and still have the same result.
I'm only asking because I read that GB27 repartitions the storage (or something like that).

I did what you didn't want to do. Some people stated that they are the same but I don't know for sure. I'm having problems accessing the settings and I wanted root back so I just flashed the no data on top of all this. My settings is still messed up and crashes.

I just updated my phone to latest JB as well, I was previously FL24 ICS Stock Root.
Have you figured out if you can use the same Odin Root?

Did you unroot it before updating? Did you just let Kies do it while rooted and had no problems.
