Just as the voice of other, you can flash on a rooted device, the procedure would be:
flash stock recovery > apply ota > flash recovery via odin > flash latest root from recovery in recovery.

Can you actually flash it on the rooted phone? And what is the change log?

Thanks for this!
Watch this video if you're rooted and want to update:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KeZx65twLk
It will get you stock recovery back and you can manually install the update. Then just watch my how to root video after to get root back
Also, here is a mirror for the file:
http://qbking77.rainmotorsports.net/GSIII/04646f9535b3.update_SPH-L710_LG2_to_LG8.zip
Here is a video with more info on LG8 and a review of it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKL_GWvsvCo

LG8? The one on Sprint's site says LG4, as of 7/25.

So why can't this be done on a rooted phone?

Actually I'm on a rooted stock rom running LG2. I tried a system update but nothing happened.

Yup, because you have to flash the stock recovery via Odin to accept the OTA. Then you have to re-root by flashing back to CWM recovery and the teamwin root zip. Follow the QBKing77 video above to guide you through it

See my post above for complete cut to the chase instructions, or watch qbking's video. Everything you need is there in both cases.

Does it matter that I'm running CM10? Or do I need to be on a stock rom to update?

I had my device rooted, but then unrooted for certain reasons. If I want to update this without root, do I just download the zip file from the website, go into stock recovery mode and flash from there?

If you're completely stock right now, use Kies.. download it from http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/ Once you plug your phone in, you'll be prompted to update.

this take any functionality away? Search?

(RECOVERIES) Odin flashable latest TWRP and CWM

Added the latest TWRP 2.3.1.0

Support as in being able to flash stuff from our external sd card? Or support as in mounting the external sd card?

Mounting if I remember right. You could only use internal sd I think.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Sorry, I labeled it that way for my drop box.
Yes, when CWM first came out for our phones, people were having issues with having ext-sd card support. It was fixed in later versions. Nothing special about it It just works.
However, I still prefer TWRP.

Thanks guys! And gals (I think ) wasn't sure if it meant we could mount sd card to computer in recovery cause that's something I miss lol.

I don't think the recovery is firmware specific. The recovery operates independently from the OS from what I understand as it is a separate partition.

Right, it is separate and operates independantly. You did prompt me to double check everything though and while any of the recoveries will work with any build (like the modems) they are different for each version. LEM and LH2 recoveries are roughly 4kb different in their size, and every OTA (leaked and official) has a different recovery-from-boot.p which patches the current recovery.
For purposes of OTA updates this may cause it to fail in the same way that having the incorrect modem causes it to fail. I haven't tested this though.
I believe the recovery is patched a little differently in the OTAs than the rest of the system. It doesn't actually patch it during the ota upgrade process, but patches it on boot. This is why we have the recovery-from-boot.p and install-recovery.sh in every OTA, but not in the official full FW used with Odin. Its not to make custom recoveries more difficult to use, that's just a side effect of the method Samsung chose to use.
(I could be wrong on that last part, but don't think I am. Just thought id add it here as an extra bit of fyi for everyone)
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

I am not sure what version I pulled it from. I pulled it a few months ago, so obviously one of the previous releases.
Haven't had any issues thus far though with my phone. Updated to the latest.....
It's quite easy to spot in the recovery where it's failing during an update. It will mostly ***** about missing APK's you may have uninstalled, or if you modified the boot logo, I have seen that as well.

Yeah, as far as functionality, it should be perfectly fine.
And it may indeed update just fine as well and only fail to patch the recovery on boot. I'm just not sure is all.
Not trying to make a big deal out of it though.
Thanks again for putting all of these out here!

Yes. Flash it with CWM, then flash team epic root from recovery before you reboot and you will retain root. I just did it myself.

I accepted it and it failed on CWM. Check to see if you have MB1 baseband. You may have missed the failed status 7 message.

You need Stock Recovery for Flashing an OTA update. Else it would fail!

Someone posted that it fixes an overheating issue on the MA6 firmware and baseband. So edit your build.prop and change all MA6 occurrences with MB1 save, exit, reboot (that will stop the update nag) then wait for a firmware and baseband flashable to show up.

If you *need* the update now and have CWM/TWRP, flash stock recovery zip from freeza, reboot and take update, then re-root via team epic method or cf-auto-root. Took about 3 minutes total for me.
Or wait until someone with more skillz than me uploads a CWM/TWRP flashable zip.
