If you unroot cwm will not disapear. You would have to flash stock recovery first. You might as well keep cwm recovery and flashbthe international firmware and get Chinese

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.

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.

You need root to install custom recoveries also to flash ROMs. You have your choice between twrp and cwm. I know twrp has Odin flashable files on their site. Easy as pie.

Hi
I'm new to android and is kind of confusing to me on how everything works. Right now I have a at&t Galaxy s3 running android version 4.0.4. I've been wanting to upgrade to the latest jelly bean version. I did try upgrading from the software from Samsung Kies but it does not want to work, it does not recognize the phone completely. I am rooted (Kernel version - 3.0.8) and also I have a rom installed (Triune II) that I basically do not remember how I did it. All I want is to find a way to install the latest jelly bean software on my phone. I did search the forums here at XDA developers website but cannot find a way to do it since there is so many roms and software's to choose from and I'm worried about breaking my phone since I do not know exactly which one to download. I don't know how everything with android really works with all the Kernels and all these things. I would appreciate if anyone could help me with this issue. Please!!!
Thanks
Nelson
You didn't search but its OK
You can't upgrade rooted devices via Kies.
If you were able to flash one custom rom you should be able to do it again by simply following directions on a ROMs thread.
Look for your desired ROM (the name and android version is the name of the thread)
And just follow instructions and you should be set

Yes after you're rooted you can go from 4.0 to 4.2
Make sure your recovery is up to date.
If its not you can find the latest in the ATT Android Development thread
When flashing AOSP based ROMs like Liquid Smooth make sure to follow the instructions and download both ROM and Gapps files and flash them both ( 1st ROM than Gapps) and you should be set.

Click menu than your option should be there.
I recommend trying them all out!
No ROM will be better than another.
It all comes down to you and the features you want. Read the ROMs description and see what they're packed with.
Watch a YouTube video or read up on how to wipe your cache & delvik, factory reset and all that before flashing so you boot up with out errors.
Its quite easy and fun.
Do not install anything thru GooManager unless you know absolutely what you are doing. Stick to ATT Android Development and ATT Original Android Development ... Do not and I repeat DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING FROM INTERNATIONAL S3 OR ANY OTHER PHONE. YOU WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE

Yea, I will now... after you explain everything now it looks more simpler I did not know for a fact that I could flash a jelly bean rom if I was still on 4.0 now I get the meaning of a rooted device. Also I notice I can download roms thru that app goomanager. After the download is complete for both the rom and gapps I can go ahead and get into recovery and flash them right? Also one last question... nandroid is for me to do a backup? I will find that in recovery mode? How does it really work?

Yes once they're downloaded flash thru recovery but remember to wipe! And make sure what you have downloaded is absolutely for the US veriant of the S3 or has d2att in the name.
Nandroid will be found in TWRP recovery.
Its just kind of like assurance. If you flash something that boot loops you can revert to your backup.

If u have a custom recovery the status will always say custom. Only flashing back to stock through odin will make it official again.

I'm used to my Galaxy S2 I guess. It never said custom. Tried Odin k0ane's stock file. Still says custom. I thought I was going to have to return the phone. It started using hotspot data for all data. I was almost to my 500 meg limit. A factory reset fixed it and Tmo gave me an extra 2gb hotspot data for this month only for free.
What's the difference between custom and official?

Official is all stock factory system. Custom means you altered the system and your warranty is probably void. That's why people try to flash back to stock if they need to get their phone repaired or replaced.
I see. Coming from the galaxy nexus, so much to learn..
Also, where can I get the samsung USB Drivers to do the motochopper?

Direct from Samsung, a few people have posted the links on the development boards already so check there.

Take a look ant the N2 and S3 forums - they have threads on returning to stock and i am sure we will see one here - AS SOON as and only when an official Samsung TMo firmware is available.
If you break or brick your device before then you will have to wait before sending it in to Samsung or TMo.

I can't believe sammobile hasn't gotten the firmwares posted yet. Isn't this unusual? Doesn't Samsung usually release the firmware almost immediately?
Does anyone know why that when I download something to my internal sd card and then boot into twrp and try to install it the file is missing in the download folder. Am I doing something wrong? i'm coming from cwm and things are a lot different. Any help would be great thanks

I am still new to the forums and flashing ROMs. I want to go back to the stock ROM, but I've seem to have lost my stock ROM I originally set up before I started flashing. Can anyone please direct me to where I can download the stock ROM. Thanks

Flash in recovery, but if using Odin will work better than I will do that.
