Trying to figure out the best route. My goal is to root and install roms.
I'm on LJ1 and I'm being asked to update.
A) Install OTA update then Root/install recovery tool kit? (does toolkit work on LJC?)
OR
B) Root/installToolkit firt then manually update to LJC?
root after update

Agreed. I first updated my Note II to LJC, then rooted using the Toolkit.

^ This. Worked like a charm for me after updating stock OTA first.
I updated after rooting. No problems at all!

May I ask how? I try to install my update and it brings me to twrp recovery. Don't know where to go from there.

Galaxy phones are not like HTC or other phones they are not boot loader locked or encrypted . Odin can always flash on it ...

I've rooted my CDMA Nexus and flashed to the leaked stock 4.0.4 update.
Will it be possible to update at all using normal methods or will I need to flash via rootkit again?

Root is no problem. A non Stock recovery is, as well as a custom ROM. But you can always flash it manualy in stead of doing through the OTA process.

Just updated my brothers Sprint S3 with the new Jellybean update, is it not rootable yet??? I don't have an SIII myself and sometimes you can't tell whether a thread on rooting has been updated yet or not.
It's on official 4.1.1 and it says Qualcomm Secure boot is ENABLED.
Can I get it disabled? and Is there a root method yet without having to flash a rooted ROM in odin?
I simply want to obtain root. Not install cwm or twrp or anything else.
This is Q & A so I am asking a Q and hoping for an A! lol
Yes it's rootable, I just did mine. All the info you need is right here.

I don't know the technical answer to that, but my new phone that I got last week with the latest firmware, I was able to obtain root using that method.

Any version of the Sprint Galaxy S3 can be rooted easily. I used the Team Epic Root From Recovery method. Super easy.

I'm an Android noob in general and I just got my Galaxy Note 2. I've been using iOS devices for the past 3 years, so don't laugh if I ask stupid questions.
I want to root my device, but I'm not into flashing ROMs on it, I just want the root. So my Galaxy Note 2 is with Android 4.1.1 and my question is: Should I update to 4.1.2 and root after, or root first and then update to 4.1.2?
Other thing I want to know is: When rooted, will I get thru-the-air updates, like for example the 4.2?
I'm from Europe and I have the international Note 2.
You can do both ways but personaly I updated first and then rooted my international n7100.
If you root first than you will have to download the rom manually (no ota or kies) and then flash it via odin.

Can I do it with the Galaxy Note 2 toolkit on 4.1.2?

Absolutly the best and savest way is by Toolkit. Just follow the steps exactly.

Hello
I have rooted my Galaxy Note II and installed CWM for the recovery. I am also running a stock ROM. There is a new OTA update, and before I am going to do it, quick question: when I update, will I still have root access or will it break it somehow? I'm running the Stock 4.1.1
Flash stock recovery..so u can get ota then just root again..rooting takes 3 seconds

The update did not work for some reason. Is there anything else that would need to be changed in order for the update to work?
U have stock recovery?

Hello,
I too had root, CWM recovery and stock ROM on my note 2 and was able to successfully take the OTA update to 4.1.2 and retain root access. I obviously have a stock recovery now after the upgrade but root is still present! I did have SuperSU (paid for version) that has the Survive OTA update mode and it worked like a charm! One thing to note is that it was not obvious at first that root was retained.
Immediately after the update, my root access failed when trying to use Titanium backup. Also, other apps requiring root access were failing as well. So, I went into SuperSU and ticked the "enable Super User" mode off and then on again and rebooted the phone.
After the reboot I noticed that Titanium Backup had root access and then verified the rest of my apps were working as well.
Three cheers to the creators of these wonderful programs.....I'm very glad I paid for the updates and got the added functionality!!
Good luck to all and hopefully it works as well for you as it did for me!!
I'm rooted with a custom recovery running M919UVUAMDB.
So if i get it right. Only way to upgrade is to
Odin to stock.
Upgrade and break root.
Root with upgrade.
Re Flash upgraded stock.
Pretty much. Or you can use Skies to do recovery to the lastest firmware, then root again.

Been searching for last hour or two and this is only thread I've found this specific topic. Just got S4 today coming from a GNex so somethings are new to me.
Is there a detailed instructions somewhere on how to do this?
I'm also rooted on M919UVUAMDB and trying to figure out the best way to upgrade to MDL so that I can re-root again.
Install Kies. Under Tools setting, select recovery and put your phone to download mode. Let Kies do the rest.

Thanks for clarifying. Just to double check, would cwm recovery affect the kies firmware recovery process?
No. Kies would wipe it off during recovery process and install the latest firmware.

lol I've searched around too, but made my own conclusions. ahha
Not attempting to promote any particular roms but Wicked v2 is running mdl update with the mdb modem and radio and smoother than silk on s4, Revolt requires manualy updating with setuidremoval but has a great writeup how to do so as does Infamous S4, I personally can confirm Revolt and Wicked are working flawless as long as the minimal theming currently in both is fine with you.
