Can I upgrade to Jelly bean from Rooted ICS through keis? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

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.

same. upgraded w/ a rooted phone. lost root, but re-applied quickly enough.

Applied update thru Kies on a rooted phone without issue. Whats the quickest path to re-root?

If your not sure you should freeze it with titanium back up.
Check in about phone. If you are running lg1, that is the one that removed search. Lem is the release version. If you are running lem, just install/run voodoo ota root keeper from the market. Root retained. If your running lg1, idk what the update is for. Do a nandroid backup, flash to stock and update if you want to know that bad.
Got the same update notice this morning. Phone is rooted. Tried to install but it failed. Didn't brick it.
Must have stock (3e) recovery for it to work.

Odin newb. ICS to jeallybean

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?

Updating rooted with custom rom

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.

Do I need to get rid of my custom rom if I wanna upgrade? If I don't, will it brick it?

You should be rooted #1
No just use Odin to go back to stock 4.1.2 Rom. Or if you have a custom recovery installed.
Then you can just flash it in there! And you should be good to go.
BUT REMEMBER MAKE A BACKUP!!!!
And why would want an update from the carrier when there plenty of stock 4.1.2 Rom's here??
And they don't have all the crappy blot ware that AT&T puts on the phone either!

Stucked on 4.3 leaked update (UCUEMJ2)

I have a SGH-I747, and on the last weeks I've updated it to 4.3 Jelly bean leaked version, which is UCUEMJ2, but now want to get the official 4.3 update (UCUEMJB). How can I make this? Is there any solution? Everytime I try to flash anything, it seems to get it done, but then I reboot my phone and there it is, the leaked and buggy 4.3 update still there. Can someone help me?

Pretty sure you should be able odin back to 4.1.x from the leak and then update ota. Downgrading from leak is safe afaik but don't downgrade from official 4.3 = brick. Sounds like you better be sure if you want to go to official. Please someone else confirm.

Yes you can downgrade to 4.1.1 via kies or Odin if you on MJ2 and take update to MJB over the air. But there is no comback to privies version of if you on last OTA 4.3 MJB...

Like others have said, you can odin back to 4.1.1 stock and start the OTA update process (you will need to update to 4.1.2 then do the 4.3 update). HOWEVER, please keep in mind that once you are on 4.3 stock you are stuck there. You cannot downgrade or you will brick your phone. Rooting the 4.3 stock rom is even a hit and miss at this point so do not even count on having root or a custom recovery. You have been informed and to update is at your own risk if is going to be an issue for you. I suggest give the developers time to figure things out first unless you just really want stock unrooted SIII experience.
Hmm..

So basically I should go to Kies, use the "don'tknowthename" method to get back to 4.1.1, then manually install the 4.1.2 OTA, and then again manually install the 4.3 OTA? (I have an AT&T phone but I live in Mexico). Woooooah, seems like a busy evening. Great...

Im pretty sure Kies will only let you install the latest official firmware, im not positive on this however as i avoid it like the plauge. Your best best is to use Odin to flash back to stock, and then grab the OTA (if thats what you have your heart set on).

Latest official firmware on kies is 4.1.1. So he can do this by kies if he was and he is sure he was on 4.2.1 or MJ6 latest and did not take OTA.

Better is to get CM10.2 if you can
Well, I just got my UCUEMJB 4.3 update ready to work, and it is pretty stable. Thanks to everyone who helped me get this problem solved. The guy who was having problems as me:
It is SAFE to downgrade to 4.1.1 ONLY and notice, ONLY if you are on the UCUEMJ2 leaked update; you should be able to odin the 4.1.1 ROM, then get the 4.1.2 OTA update, and then again the 4.3 OTA update.

You just have to download the 4.1.2 OTA Update .zip file, and then manually flash it. Then, you should get the 4.3 OTA
