The guide to root the S3 is for 4.1.1
I used this previously.
But then I downloaded the 4.1.2 OTA update, and it got rid of my root
I would like to know what method to use to root it again, and remain on 4.1.2 (I only want root. Not custom ROM or anything. JUST root)
There is a very helpful video on Youtube that shows you step by step on how to root on stock 4.1.1-4.1.2.
The video is older than the update yes, but I have used this method several different times on my gs3 and it never failed. Just follow the instructions carefully and you should be fine.
Happy rooting!

You could try cf auto root, its one of the easier ways to root and stay stock

In short: I want to go from rooted ics to rooted jellybean stock, while in between factory reset or whatever for no overlapping errors.
So the new jellybean update just released and I want to update to it. I'm rooted w/ wicked v7 ROM ICS. The only time I used Odin was when I rooted my phone through the toolkit. So I have the jellybean Odin file, how do I root and install costume recovery after? thx.
Edit: okay I done some more research, I find that I can just use the root66 odin method that already has root which if I remember correctly was the same method used in the toolkit for root? But its not out yet for jellybean. I guess I'll have to wait? I have no idea. I don't know.
Edit2: or wait. I could Odin to root66 ICS, use voodoo root keeper, and ota to jellybean?

Rootkerper or mobile odin pro sre your best options. Check my firmware thread for instructions.

Hey there, I have a rooted S3 (rooted with Snapdragon toolkit) and I have not updated my phone since I've gotten it. Is there a way for me to update my phone using Odin without having to unroot my phone first? If so, where can I download the updates for the Wind Mobile version of the S3? Also, If I update my phone using Odin, will it wipe all data from the phone?
Thanks for any help.
Go here, download the root66 jellybean rom for you carrier and flash it with desktop Odin. You will keep root, apps, settings, everything. These have superSU, yours probably has superuser so you will end up with both. Just open superSU, it will ask you to update the binary and it will take over. Then you can just disable or install superuser if you wish.

Thanks, but I really don't want to flash a completely different rom if possible.

That tells me you did not read the thread at all, root66 by mrRobinson rooms are fully stock Samsung firmware with only one modification, root injected on it, so you don't have to do it yourself, and you don't trip the counter in the process of rooting it either.

You're right, after I saw the word 'rom' I thought you were talking about a completely different rom and didn't bother to check. Thanks, I will definitely check this out.
Help! I'm new at this. I've rooted my Note 2 GT-N7100 using CF-Autoroot some weeks ago.
Today I just received OTA software update on my Note 2 GT-N7100 and then I found out that SuperSU doesn't work anymore with error "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it". Triangle Away is also not longer working saying SuperUser access is needed.
Help!! What should I do now without having reinstall everything again? I need to correct this problem, and then remove the root from my phone!
Simple, re root with cf auto root.

Thank you! As easy as that?
Ok, let's say I've done that. Can I unroot my phone without restoring Stock firmware? Run Triangle Away to reset the counter, use SuperSU for full unroot and go to Stock Recovery and perform factory reset?
Exactly.

Hi, I did the same as OP. I was root with the Exynos Abuse app then I installed 4.1.2 OTA and now root is gone. When I got back into the Exynos app it says it can't root again.
I'm not sure what you mean by cf auto root. This was my first time ever rooting and I don't know much about custom firmwares and such. Can you tell me how to do it step by step?
Thank you
exynos won't work on 4.1.2

Did you use cf auto root by chainfire. If not what root method did you use .And what version of odin did you use it should be version 3.07

androidrootz.com/2013/05/how-root-cwm-recovery-on-galaxy-s4-gt.html
I used odin 1.85
I flashed to a google edition rom and it works now! I really wanted to use the stock rom.
thanks.
Wrong wrong wrong.that isn't the correct method. And you went to another website outside of xda and come back to xda for help that's a no no.and that isn't how it works here on xda .number one dont for get this stick with xda dont download any programs or zip files that isn't associated with xda if you do it will be considered warez and you want get any help .now this is what you need to do get that crap off of your pc all of it
Next come back to xda and download the correct version of odin 3.07 and download cf auto root by chainfire and before you flash anything make sure you read the op and follow the directions to the letter no short cuts anyway I see you got to work for you happy flashing

I found the link in the xda under "Welcome To the Complete Guide for Just About Anything for T-Mobile Galaxy S4!"
i know that the links are outside xda.
now i am trying to unroot with odin 3.07, but the links are from the other website. i am just going back to stock and they try to root again using the cf auto root by chainfire. that should work, right?

thanks everyone!
i got it to work, i followed the instructions to unroot and to reset the counts. some how after all that even if i got everything to say it was official, i was getting the message that says that there was a program trying to execute on the phone and to prevent i had to reboot, but i was just a loop, and the wifi wasnt working, so after the unroot and the reset count i had to flash with odin one more time using the offcial stock rom, and only after that the wifi work and the message went away. i did wipe cache and data several times during the process.
thanks
I want to Root my wife's Sprint Note 2. I recently updated her phone to 4.3 through KIES. I have been searching for about an hour now and I don't see the best way to root this phone. I have read up on the Kingoroot and Chainfire methods. Neither one are very specific on if they work with the 4.3 update.
I really don't care at all about tripping the Knox counter, I just want the phone to be rooted with custom recovery. I am sure the answers are there, I just don't think I am using the right terminology to find my answers.
Kingoroot works fine. I along with many others have used it. For custom recovery just use odin to flash what you want. There is a guide on what knox files you should remove. Louforgivenot is the op of it. It is either in general or q&a

Thank you for the info...I had a feeling that was the way to go! One more quick question, can I flash a 4.1.2 rom after rooting?
You dont need to even root to flash a rom just odin the recovery. Bootloader and baseband/radio from mk4 work with all roms i have tried touchwiz and aosp.
FYI DONT ROOT 4.3 IN RECOVERY.
