rooted phone and firmware update

Hi, with the help of this forum I was able to root my gio so that went fine now comes the question. II hooked the phone up to the pc and samsung kies said there is a firmware update so I clicked it and I got a disclaimer that when you're phone is rooted that upgrade to latest and greatest firmware this might fail because of the root.
What should I do now, do I have to unroot it before I put the new firmware on, or can I just proceed with firmware upgrade with the phone being rooted.
Thanks in advance.

Samsung kies wont notice you with that message.

[Q] SGH T999V Back to Stock so i can get OTA from Samsung

So I'm Custom Firmware FrostyJB and want to go back to stock as this has a few bugs. and i want to recieve OTA from Samsung.
I made a nandroid but my phone does not seem to register it.
any idea what i should do?

You have to restore a nandroid backup with the same recovery you made it with.
Otherwise download the stock fw and flash with odin. Flash the VLALH2 and youll have the up to date fw already. No need to wait for ota to dl and install.

[Q] CWM): !!!

Hello everyone i wa wondering how can i remove cwm recovery from my phone? i want my phone to be clean! and i wanna have an ota update to JB first so after i can root!

Via ODIN but why? By the time you get the OTA there will be a custom ROM to flash... unless you are one of the lucky few to get it on the day of release.
Make sure to restore your stock recovery as well.

I do have one question though if I root my phone will I still get ota updates?

No you will not receive ota updates rooted. Unrooting is pretty easy though and someone usually turns the update into a flashable zip.

Flash with stock firmware for your phone model, or kernel only, if you have stock rom with cwm

is the flashable zip the exact! same thing as the ota update? does it come with touchwiz and all same features as ota update?

Just one question

Hello there I have a rooted and a soft moded build.prop galaxy note 2 with the Xposed framework added to it. And I was just wondering that now that my phone has a updated to 4.2.2 that you can get throw kias can I flash back to the stock Rom and get the update or do I have to wait for a Rom to be made with it.

Well you have a att model it is going to take a very very very very long time before you see an update. Just wait for a rom here it will be so much better and sooner than anything att will give you.

Go to
http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/main/supportMain.do
To get your i317m model's Samsung Kies software
You can check for updates through that.
Make sure you back up everything before updating.

I have the kias but I just want to know if I can just plug in my phone and hit up date or do I have to flash back to a stock Rom and the update and we'll that even work

No you can't just update through kies.
You have to be on one of the stock ROMs supported by Samsung first for kies to recognize a starting point. And it is possible to get into a reboot loop coming from a custom ROM. After you flash the stock ROM using Odin After your phone reboots, pull the battery, put it back in, go to recovery and reset/factory reset/clear cache & data so your stock ROM starts out clean.
This will eliminate the boot loop possibility.
And frankly since you're going to have to do a stock ROM flash why not just get the newest release you are aiming for and just flash it with Odin that way you don't have to deal with kies !
This is your newest Bell release it is Android 4.1.2 so if you have a thing for 4.2.2 Samsung hasn't released it.

Just remember to back up before you start messing with flashing back to stock.

You can use kies to update from other rom too.
Open kies - tools - firmware upgrade and initialization
You need your Sr number to proceed, you can find in setting - about device or from back side of device under battery.
