Define stock ICS. Stock as in Google's vision, or Samsung/T-Mobile's? If the second, yeah.

What? Why did you tell them no?
You don't need to root at all you just download Samsung Kies on your PC or Mac.

What do u mean? Question is not clear. If you are asking about getting ICS on phone without root then yes you can via samsung kies.

I think the OP meant vanilla ics. In which case you would need to root your phone to flash the custom ROM as TMobile nor Samsung is going to release AOSP for our phones.

Sorry yea i meant vanilla ics, without touchwiz.

Questions go in the Q&A section

Tell me if I'm wrong...
but, I'm looking at the notes for installing CWM and root here using odin and it doesn't look like you need root to flash CWM via odin.
Could he/she not install CWM w/o root and then flash a non-root rom (non-existent at the moment, sure, but new CM9 is not rooted by default for security).
So, unless there is something I don't know, then is there any reason that he/she couldn't do as I described?
Honestly, I'm thinking of working on an AOSP rom w/o root for security reasons. I'll have to look into it to see if it's worth it, because, honestly, I've never done it. I mainly just want a reason to get into some C hacking.

system update on rooted s2 will I lose root?

I have a rooted s2 which I just rooted the other day, but now I'm getting an alert For an update. I don't wanna lose root.
is there anyway to block it?
or update it and not lose root?
thanks in advance

Yes. And if you are on a custom rom it may just bootloop. You may be able to find an ota killer on here.

There's also this, don't know if you have seen; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774282
edit: It has been found not to be build specific. Meaning it was put out when FF18 came but it has been used after and stopped FH13 as well)
And then this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31192830&postcount=29
But if you want to update and stay stock (you'll have to odin/mobile odin a custom recovery) check out this handy thread by Rwilco: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903252

One easy thing to do would also be to just get a no-data rooted one-click. that way you keep root and you also get a new build.

Is there any way to root galaxy s 3 for t mobile running 4.1.1 without a computer?

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

As of right now, the only way to get root is with the use of the computer as of yet.
Being that seems to work pretty well I doubt there will be development to a root method without a computer.

Hmm, thanks for your feedback

I put the developer kit on my phone and then you can do it from someone elses computer...

What about mobile Odin pro? Then use that to flash the recovery of your choice. The reboot to recovery and install the superuser script?

Doubt it. I think you still need pc
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Mobile odin requires root. So it can't be used to gain root.
Chainfire release a rooting method. I haven't tried it but have heard it works well. You still need Odin on a pc for any root procedure that I'm aware of.

Rooting is yes, only available via computer.

Np!
Just realized I didn't mention chsinfires method is called CF-auto root I believe. Its in original development.
Or you can also use the root66 method. Link to the fw thread in my sig.

Exynos Mem Bug Expolit

There is currently a bug in samsung kernel that will allow any app to obtain root even on non rooted devices without any prompts this could be potentially be very damaging if it's a malicious app
App to verify if you are affected https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lowlevel.exynosmembug
Temp fix apk *requires root though*

I believe previous exploits like super one click involved running the apk and commands were done in terminal and adb debug had to be checked off so the user should be well aware of it running. I'm not certain but I believe this one will allow an app to get root even on unrooted phones with out access to terminal so pretty much without the user knowing. Well any how I just prefer to be safe.

I rooted jb with it

It's an easier way to root than being tethered a computer and having to use odin. Especially with the jellybean leaks.

What about the exynos abuse root method? What build is the phone currently on? It did get patched but I don't remember what build.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

Well I was able to using a app. Im cursed with having a broke volume down button, so that was my only choice since i couldnt get to download mode without rooting and using a widget to reboot to download mode.
I have to dig around for the app but I know I saved it just in case...
Actrully found it I used a app called framaroot.

Interesting. It's worth a shot OP. Worst case, it fails and you uninstall. If it is successful, you can install mobile odin, then get the latest gb27 tar, and money. While you're at it, you will have to flash a cwm custom jb kernel, since you're on ics, and, MO won't flash modems, you'll need a jb modem to use data on gb27. Download the zip though of the modem . Good luck, let us know how it goes.

Hopefully it works for you. I don't see why it wouldn't. Might be more complicated but it worked for me. but of course YMMV. Just follow what jdsingle76 said you you'll be good to go.
