I just updated my phone through Kies. I would like to have root back obviously, but not sure if that has been posted anywhere.
It is the same as the leak. You could have just stayed...

I was stock rooted ICS before. Didn't see a diff was done.
To get root back can I flash the one from the repository with no data? Or is there a simpler solution

You could always flash a recovery then flash superuser and flash back to stock kernel.

(Sorry if I'm asking a repetitive question.)
Does the leak GB27 match the official GB27 that just came out?
I'm on FL24 stock + root. I don't want to use flash an unrooted FL24, download Kies, update to GB27, then root it.
Wondering if I can just use the One-Click method from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191954
so I can avoid doing all that work and still have the same result.
I'm only asking because I read that GB27 repartitions the storage (or something like that).
I did what you didn't want to do. Some people stated that they are the same but I don't know for sure. I'm having problems accessing the settings and I wanted root back so I just flashed the no data on top of all this. My settings is still messed up and crashes.

I just updated my phone to latest JB as well, I was previously FL24 ICS Stock Root.
Have you figured out if you can use the same Odin Root?

Did you unroot it before updating? Did you just let Kies do it while rooted and had no problems.

I have a question about Root. Is zedomax root the only one available and if so is it stable? Over seen some people with some issues and want to know if I should wait.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
there are issues with it. personally, my phone would not receive incoming calls. YMMV though.
what you can do it flash zedomax, recover back to stock, flash clockwork mod, then flash the superuser file. then recover back to stock.
any problems i had had with zedomax were undone, and i know have root.

Why not just use Odin to push the recovery Once you have cwm, rooting is almost pointless. Just flash a full Rom / Kernel via zip

Unless of course you just want rooted stock ......
Yes in which case just flash the su zip included in the thread ...... He SHOULD want cwm in either case if anything so he can perform nandroid backups
At a minimum though, I'd flash a rooted deodexed/zipaligned/CIQ free stock release ;-)

Yes, but nandroid first just in case.
Use the link in my sig for the firmware thread.
Download the UVDLJA firmware, root66 version if you want to be rooted, and flash via Odin.
Thats it!
Sometimes itll hang at boot forcing a factory reset, so nandroid first.

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.

grab the rooted JB ROM for Odin, install virtualbox and windows xp Virtual machine and re-root. There may be an easier way, but this one works for sure.
