I've tried millions of time to install super user.. But it keeps telling me error when it tries to update... Is it the mdl build or something else

If you're running stock, MDL blocks root access. Flash any of the custom kernels to get around the restriction and try updating again.
Thank you so much... I was wondering why it didn't work..... Yeah I was running a stock rom but now I'm using infamous S4 build

If you are on TWRP you are not still on stock recovery which should mean that you can install SuperSU from within TWRP.

So im on stock rooted and lets say i get the update but im rooted do i need to unroot to proceed ??.. or i can do it whit root? Cant wait for some jellybean goodies

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.

Its pretty straight forward actually. There should be steps laid out in post 2 of the fw thread and I believe Theexel hasit in his thread stickied in this section.
If you have any problems let me know, but don't see a reason to retype it all again!

Along the same lines...I just got an s3 yesterday and rooted stock 4.0.4. Used OTA root keeper, downloaded the ota for JB and when I attempt to upstate it fails....I have stock recovery. No idea why it keeps failing. I would Odin the prerooted JB but my wife doesn't want to lose her settings she already set up. Any ideas?

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.

So let's say I download the flash able version of the JB stock OTA, I can flash it through stock recovery or twrp or cwm, right?
Sorry, not new to flashing ROMs at all..but normally I flash custom ROMs and don't care about losing anything, but my wife likes the touchjizz...lol

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.

I don't think there is since you have to flash a zip file to actually root your system but you can always go back and install your stock recovery after your rooted

You can with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963812, but you won't be able to install any ROMs.

Yes that link will work although i dont think there is a cspire version so youll have to use sprints. That said this will do what your asking as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2017470

Check the stickies. Flash twrp through Odin, then flash root or pre-rooted rom through twrp.

That has everything you need to gain root. What you do from there is up to you. I've personally used it on both the ICS and JB stock images. Worked perfectly.
Search before you make a new thread next time though. Took me all of 15 seconds to find that when I first got on here.
Need help. I'm trying to install twrp on my note 2 but its like nothing is happening. When I go through the process, odin says pass and such and then the phone reboots, then when I power off and go into recovery, its still stock. Then when I reboot, go to about phone and status, instead of modified it says Normal. Im using odin 3 3.04. Please anyone help.

Solved the problem. I uninstalled any su apps in the Rom and downloaded the latest from clockwordmod and installed from recovery and it took that time.
