You can get the touch version from Koush for free. It's legit. Just installed it today finally through Fastboot.
You need the Android SDK and the recovery.
If your interested and need a link I'll post it here.
(Didn't check the link already posted here.)
Is the method above with link the easiest way. Could I use rom manager.by cwm to do it from play store?
Will installing cwm erase everything on the phone

do you have root? if not, you have to use the method above.
I found a cwmr touch installer in play store. Could I use that to install the cwm or do I have to be rooted for that? Is there a one click root app or something like that or is the process above the easiest

Does that process erase/wipe everything
Also, just clarify... the process that linked still requires root? Or does it do it all together. Can I start from obtaining root access and custom recovery?
last question, if i flash update file from takju 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 through cwm with just unlocked bootloader but no root, will i still get OTA in the future? also, will the update remove cwm?

And bro just root if you got an unlocked boot loader. Ur using the most easiest device to root.
I've seen and answered this question quite a few times so I thought I'd just write down the procedure once so everyone can find it.
So you want the latest OTA and want it rooted but you have no idea how to get there? I can help.
Prior to yesterday I was running rooted stock with TWRP recovery. The OTA failed of course.
In order to install it and root I did the following.
1) install rooted stock image via odin (found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426) This re-nstalled stock recovery.
2) install and run voodoo ota root keeper from the play store to preserve root.
3) took OTA download and let it install
4) ran voodoo OTA rootkeeper to restore root again
5) Install goo manager from play store
6) install twrp via goo manager
7) made a rooted stock nandroid backup.
The above procedure didn't wipe any of my data or settings because I came from rooted stock to begin with. I just used odin to restore the recovery and missing bloatware..
Hope this helps
Do you have the clockworkmkd recovery file I need to flash through odin? Does this mean I don't have to use adb?

I didn't use ADB. I used twrp for my recovery, but you can install rom manager and cwm recovery with it instead of goo manager and twrp.
I lost my root when i did the update...
can you give step by step on how to root again after the update and install the google universal search?
thanks...
Flashed the rooted stock image via Odin, update failed at 27%. Any ideas?
No idea. Just reporting on what worked for me.

If you've disabled or uninstalled stock at&t and Sammy apps (like Flipboard, clocks, etc.) the update will fail. You need to enable/reinstall stock apps.
Hi, I used Voodoo Root Keeper to regain root. However, in my device status it is now saying modified instead of normal. How can I fix that?
You can't. Don't worry about it.

It looked like reflashing the rooted stock rom did reinstall the bloat I removed.

worked fine for me
There's a much easier method to get root back after the update.
Flash CWM/TWRP
Flash the file I attached below.
Install Busybox from market
Reboot
Done deal
It does work. I tested earlier today from G1 stock unrooted. Pulled and installed the update, flashed CWM. Flashed the attached file, busybox download and profit. Then used gooomanager to change to TWRP
Here's the original site I read about this method way back when...
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/easy-guide-root-att-galaxy-s3/
Gunny's method does work, just giving another option
OP guides worked for me. Thanks
I like the new keyboard, less errors.

Yes, it does work. Get a custom recovery back (CWM) and flash the file I attached in my earlier post. Saves the time from flashing a stock rooted ROM and going from there as a starting point.
Hi all,
I managed to root the Jelly Bean update by using the same method and files as the ICS stock root.
What I did:
I flashed the new JB update via Odin (not through kies or OTA).
Flashed recovery via Odin
Rebooted and copied Superuser.zip to my phone
Rebooted into recovery and installed the zip.
Everything seems to be functioning normally and the root works.
DISCLAIMER: just because this worked for me doesn't mean you won't brick your phone doing the same. If you brick your phone it is your own fault NOT mine.

So if I get this right...
Flash JB 4.1 through Odin...
Flash ATTGS3CWM6.0.1.2.tar through Odin
Reboot in recovery and install SuperUser.zip
Reboot and voila?

If you are already rooted in ICS, just download Voodoo OTA Root Keeper and backup root, then temporarily unroot. Execute the OTA, restore root using Voodoo, ????, profit!

The OTA will put this stock recovery back, but the method here should maintain root. Just re-install TWRP.

My reply before assumed you were asking for the rooting files to flash. The firmware is available here
so i flashed via ODIN and I'm stuck on the samsung screen at boot. I am coming from CM10. I flashed the file from samsung-updates and used the PDA button to do it. It all looked good while flashing but it rebooted and got stuck on the samsung logo. I didn't start ODIN in admin mode. could that have been the cause? any thoughts? am I screwed?
also when i plug it into the computer it says hardware id missing in windows
new: I have access to download mode. Trying again while running as admin. if this doesn't work I'll try a reboot of the pc and try again and then I'm screwed as to what to do next?
all fixed!
i booted into stock recovery using vol up +home+power and wiped data and cache and rebooted and it's working. now to flash cf auto root
I downloaded the firmware from here:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/
I don't necessarily think it will make a difference if you install the JB update via Odin. It's just what I did. You'll definitely need to use Odin to install cwm recovery though.

For future reference, i've found that if you ever re flash and get stuck on the flashing Samsung logo, it's because you didn't wipe you Dalvik and cache BEFORE you flashed. I've had this problem many times and finally figured that out. Alternatively you can install clockwork mod via Odin then reboot into recovery and wipe your caches/factory reset to fix it.

All I did was flash stock recovery then install JB via Kies, still rooted.

Not sure that's even needed. The plain superuser has its own ota survival and temp unroot built in and it kept my root through a ota update to 4.0.4.

As far as it goes I think after rooting it with CFroot you should update the SuperSU from the Playstore.

Hello, I was trying to update my note 2 with DN3 kitkat rom today.. But didn't work! :/
I rooted the phone. I got correct root access.
Then followed the instruction to flash the ROM.
After reboot, I could hear the welcome sound(new) and saw the samsung animated logo..then it stuck there. I waited for some 15mins, but nothing happened, only the animated samsung logo.
I saw an issue in TWRP.. saying there was a problem with permission. I don't know what was it. I tried to fix permission, but it failed.
After nothing worked, now I am in the process of recovery from kies.
Perhaps I didn't have the right step by step guide; from rooting the phone to flashing it. :/
If someone could please help, would be great!.. I really want to flash my phone for the DN3 custom rom.
Thanks.
Why do you need to root when flashing custom rom? It is already prerooted. You only need recovery.

As per rooting instruction, it is mentioned that the device must be rooted before flashing a custom rom from stock rom.
While installing the recovery the device is rooted or another way that I tried was to root by CFroot first, which was successfully done then I got the super user access to install a recovery like TWRP,,

Guys
need some quick help. Followed the AFTV guides to the letter (actually did a complete root, downgrade on another device already) but now my FTV downloaded an update and I lost root.
I still have CWM as my recovery. Can I just adb push another ROM that is pre-rooted?
help!
thanks in advance?

If you have CWM still working properly it might work. I would give it a shot. If CWM is broken, the it should just error and do nothing.
You must be running an older version of cwm for it to have even done that. Just flashing superuser through recovery should get you root back.
everything seems to be ok...it only downloaded the latest ROM but didn't seem to install it. I didn't lose root. actually I ran the command to block OTA and all is good again. Now onto XBMC!!
