[Q] I wanted a rooted SGS3 - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I really don't want to go through this again so let me ask the question, how can I not get de-rooted once I root my SGS3?

I think they are looking for a permanent root method. That is something I am unfamiliar with. Most of these tools make it super easy to root anyway. Think of how much work these developers put in to building these kick ass ROMs for us. It makes taking 30 minutes of downloading and clicking seem like cake.
Edit: to avoid having to re root just read everything before you start flashing and end up with a brick.

I no longer have a sgs3. But I was looking for a way to remove root.

For anyone coming across this in the future:
If you are using Supersu, there is a full unroot option in the Settings tab.

I used this video to update to GB, and I was rooted. I didn't reset to stock or anything and my phone is working great now.

There's a few videos for rooted and non-rooted phones.
I did not brick it, but that will take it back to stock I assume?

But yes, that will bring it back to stock.

Yes that will take you to full stock and you can get the OTA. It is not just a semi-brick thread. It is a start over thread too.

Rooting UVALH3?

Noob here. I can't find this anywhere. I just flashed (or whatever you call it,) to UVALH3. With 4.1.1 came all the bloatware again that I had removed when I had the phone rooted. Is it possible to root UVALH3 as well? I can't find it anywhere. Do I just go ahead and ODIN the same file to do it or has there just been no safe way found yet for UVALH3? Thanks.

thank you
EDIT: Actually I'm not quite sure how to do this. Are you supposed to go into recovery mode and install from external? It gives me a signature verification error when I try that.
OP: for your own good don't do anything else at the moment. I'm on my phone and driving so I can't really help too much but for your own good don't do anything or else you might end up bricked. Make sure you get a reply before you continue. If you don't get one in the next few hours I'll post a reply and walk you through the steps. I can't right now though.
To the op, you need to get back to ics to root and flash the jellybean rooted rom(need a custom recovery)

Well that could have been absolutely horrible, I guess. I think I'll just wait until there is a method for rooting when I already have UVALH3

[Q] Anything i should do before i root?

I'm planing to root my Sprint S3 today using QBking77 video then i'm thinking to stay with stock rom but remove bloatware using Titanium backup.
But is there anything i should do before i start rooting? i mean do i need to backup the stock rom or anything like that just in case i mess up something? i saw a lot of threads about people looking for sprint stock roms to put it back to their phones.
Please let me know before i root my phone.
Thanks in advance.
You won't be able to do a backup until after you root.
Do anything before rooting. Yes. READ.
THEN, READ SOME MORE.
and don't try installing an international ROM.

READ, and when you have read it all READ it again. Make sure you know everything. Once you root, go back into custom recovery (CWM) and do a nandroid backup. Then you can start messing with it, if you screw up your can always restore that stock nandroid you have.
Then READ some more.

Hello, regarding my root. :(

So I have been rooted for a couple months now with no problems at all, I do have the t-mobile note 2 which is model # SGH-T889. And I opened up Superuser and there is an unroot button which was not check but soon became checked I was unaware at the time you can even unroot a phone via a program. Is there a way to reverse this problem, all of my rooted apps no longer allow me to open them up, But for say wallpappers and some other apps I was able to keep them
www(dot)/gyazo(dotcom)/74c27571285f3d19f866b09be020013a
That is what my Titanium backup says above.
I also tried installed the newere SuperSU or whatever that didn't work either.
And even still "Software update" "Your device has been modified.Software updates are not available" Hit OK, I only just found out today there is a program called "Voodoo OTA RootKeeper" Only had I known about this program yesterday none of this would have happened, in the "Voodoo OTA RootKeeper"there should be check marks allow me to uncheck/recheck and there is no huge button for backup/unroot/root. that tells me I'm not rooted I guess.
A buddy of mine actually helped me root via teamviewer And I do not have the proper kit/know how to do it for my model #. If someone can help me in another way besides just rerooting the original way that would help. But if not if you have a known good rootkit for my situation.
I am sorry if this is not in the right section under my phone. I wanted to put it in the dev area but read that they will delete it if you put it there, even though It would seem that is the proper area since this is a rooting situation.
If you guys need any more information about my issue please ask

Are you sure it is rom I need to DL, Don't I need to be rooted first to get the rom on there? My problem is my phone is half rooted, titanium backup says clear busybox and one other app, but every single other app says I need to be rooted, Along with that being weird when I try to do a software update. It tells me that I have a modded device so I cannot do it. In the mean while before I reroot again I would like to get the most recent update.

[q] gt-i317m telus (i317mvlalj2)

did some reading but didnt really find what i was looking for in this section.
i have the Note 2. v 4.1.2 but i want to downgrade to 4.1.1 so that i can unlock my device so i can use any carrier.
but then i would want to do the 4.1.2 update again completely stock from the OTA or whatever its called. and still have it permanently unlocked from the previous 4.1.1
should i use odin and a stock 4.1.1tar file for the PDA to flash it or would this be the wrong way of doing this and possibly voiding my warrenty
Well there's a few ways of doing that. The way you mentioned!
But you can also just downgrade your modem to the J2, and you can perform the unlock that way... But if unsure about what your doing, do some research..

so are you saying to only flash the modem with the I317MVLALJ2 modem and thats it... because i do know how to flash with odin. i did it with my first galaxy and for some reason the micro sd slot stopped working. so i was thinking this method would screw up my note 2. i just want to downgrade to unlock it then re update
this was the method i was going to go with. what would you say?!

I root to freeze a bunch of useless system apps. That alone is enough for me.
Rooting is only 1 part of a very large puzzle when you are talking about modification ...
Root is only a tool ...
And the real fun starts when you can build and theme or modify any number of parts inside your device ...
You don't own it unless it's rooted ...and you'll never fully enjoy it until you make the changes that unleash what these devices are capable of ...
And that starts by reading and learning ...then reading and learning more...
Then you will be on your way to making the phone truly yours ....g
