I flashed to the Odin ICS (first one) then put ardatd's kernal on then flashed ICS , flashed his kernal, then odin back to 2.3.5 from samfirmware

Then u should not be rooted if u used the samfirm tar file. That takes it back to solid stock... is ur recovery back to stock as well?

Its all stock, but i still have superuser.

If u used the samfire u shouldn't have superuser.. but if u do uninstall it and factory wipe nd should b good.

Yes

Might just be a problem with att. Manually flash a stock 2.3.6 and see if that works.

Are there any simple plain proper English-language guides on how to unroot properly? I've tried installing the stock ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364740, and my phone is as rooted as ever.
For that matter, can I and should I uninstall clockworkmod recovery? If so, how?

No ota?

Stock rooted ROM wont be able to get the latest ota?

I think you will need to be back on stock with a stock recovery. I tried flashing an ota a while ago when was stock rooted and it failed at 25% or somewhere in there
Sent from my SGS3

Yes and you need to be unrooted as well. You can use OTA Rootkeeper from the market to temp un-root, take OTA and the re-root.

I have the stock recovery, and I do have that app. I'll give it a go.

Where would one pick up just the stock recovery that they had in UVLH2?

If you have Mobile Odin you can load up the whole FW and then pick only recovery to flash.
Also Cybernook has a stock recovery a few threads down, but we are not sure which version it is.
Or if you can wait just a bit ill get it uploaded and get out the link.

Ah, yea forgot. Yea I still have the h2 image I used somewhere but forgot mobile Odin can flash just the recovery section of that.
Thanks!

The OTA isn't available to everyone yet. My phone is stock and not rooted and the OTA doesn't show up yet.

[Q] Am I good to go for update?

I have the T999UVLH3 Modem and I'm running on Deodexed_T999UVALJ4 ROM. Am I good to go for the JB update?

Not the ota. But you can still Odin flash the full FW.

Is there any difference between doing that and an OTA update?

Ok thanks. But I'm a little confused on which instructions from his thread I should use.

If you want to use the stock or root66fw, use the instructions for odin.
I know its a little cluttered. Im gona try to reorganize a littl in the next few days. Sorry bout that.

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.

ota update...now I messed up

I was rooted, then used mobile Odin to unroot and went back. I installed the latest update and now need to root again on my mac. It seems the process that worked with ics will not work with the new update? Any advice?

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.

Suggestion use voodoo OTA root saver. It helped save my root when doing an update.

Anytime. What it does is temp removes root and does a backup. U run ota update and then run and restore root.

Wish I would have found that sooner.. but I was able to use Odin and learn a little there. Every bit counts when trying to get a better understanding of how android works (coming from iPhone)

The reason. U cannot update through kies is because u have a custom recovery installed, kies will not identify the devices as updatable if rooted with custom recovery, if u use Odin and flash the phone back to stock unrooted it should update, but honestly its not workth it..
