So for those who don't know, 11/6 marks the date for the 4.3 update on the Sprint Galaxy S3. This should be a pretty easy question and I'm only asking because I forgot, but since I just rooted my phone (didn't install a custom ROM or even a custom recovery), I can just update to the newest version and all it will do is get rid of superuser, correct?
Thanks
Yup

Baseband only refers to the modem. If you search the development threads, you will find zips to update the modem in clockwork.
As for stock updates, they require the stock recovery to work so if you have clockwork or twrp recovery installed, you will have to go back to stock to receive the ota updates.
Finally on the Jellybean update, you won't miss it. When released, I'm sure the awesome Devs here will pick it up and it would only be a matter of time before a custom rom is released. The benefits of running 'custom' far outweigh anything that releases 'stock'.
Hi guys,
I'm new to Android, and I've recently rooted my Galaxy Note 2 (LTE) and I want to flash it back to stock ROM. I've searched the forums a bit, and I also know that there will be a counter indicating how many times I have flashed. My question is, is it possible to flash back to the stock ROM and making everything as if I were to purchase everything brand new?
Also, can I do an update OTA if I have rooted my device?

yes, its possible come back to rom stock, via odin.
if you have your galaxy rooted, the acess to OTA IS CLOSED
So a couple of days ago I got a GS3 running the OTA stock 4.3. I wasn't sure if I wanted to use it because I find Touch Wiz kind of clunky. So I decided I would try out Cyanogenmod. I installed it via their new handy installer (as the sprint GS3 is one of the compatible devices). All went well and I got Cyanogenmod 10.2 running smoothly. Now I want to activate the device, but apparently you can't activate a rooted device on sprint. So now i need to get it back to stock 4.3 and I can only seem to find solutions to his problem for devices that have not gotten the 4.3 OTA update and are still running 4.1.2. On the Cyanogenmod installer guide says:
You may perform a full backup from recovery, after flashing recovery (you will have to do this manually, at the moment) and then copy it off the device, if you don't have an external sdcard. If you've already run the installer, you will have to find stock images and flash them using fastboot or Odin.

My problem Is I can't locate any stock 4.3 images with which to try this. If I can get my hands on a stock 4.3 image, would the process be just going into the bootloader and using Odin to flash the 4.3 image?
Can anyone help me out?
You only need to be on a stock tw rom, even if you are rooted it should activate. There are a couple in the development section.

I see, do you know of any any good 4.3 based tw roms? All the ones I'm finding are based on 4.1. Also, do I need to do anything special to flash from Cyanogenmod 10.2 to a touchwiz rom (as Cyanogenmod is AOSP)? I already have ClockworkMod recovery installed.
Nothing special, flash like anything else

[STOCK ROM] Stock 4.3 MK3 ROM [ROOTED/UNROOTED]
Hi,
I am on E980 ATT 4.1.2 stock. I have unrooted and also installed CWM 6.0.4.7.
I haven't yet gotten a notification for an upgrade to KK, but I am wondering.
#1 If I upgrade over the air, will it brick my phone since it's rooted and has a custom recovery?
#2 If I do want to upgrade, what's the best method for upgrading and will I have to unroot and remote CWM?
Thanks

Hi there,
several manufacturers and providers do not send or cannot send the updates because of certain rooting means.
If you see the window with message: "No updates available for your device." or "The latest updates have already been installed.", then you will receive the updates inspite of root access.
But you must flash a stock recovery before or even flash the whole stock ROM. Via custom recovery and rooted ROM stock updates cannot succeed.
Mine was rooted with stock recovery and the upgrade process went fine this week. Since you're on CWM recovery I'd say don't do it. When the last upgrade came out and I was running a custom recovery and it boot looped my phone (as well as everyone else's phones).
As best I know your only option is to restore phone to stock and take upgrade, then root, install recovery and all your apps/settings. Its a beeyotch right?
Before I start I will say iI did check out the search function for more than one hour and felt pretty lost amidst the technical discussion going on. I'm still reading about Android and learning so your help will be greatly appreciated.
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 (SGH-I747M) soon after its launch in Canada. It came with Jellybean and after a while I updated it to Kitkat using the "check for updates" area in the phones settings.
My question is basically is out possible to root the device after I updated it. Or is it possible to go back to Jellybean and then root it from Jellybean?
I have tried to flash the stock Jellybean ROM onto it and it just doesn't work at all. Odin loads stuff for 5 seconds and it fails.
Other than going back to Jellybean is there any way to Root my phone if it's on Kitkat now? I'm not concerned about warranty etc due to age of the device and it would be gone already anyways.
Thank You!

Once you are on KK, you cannot downgrade the bootloader so don't bother trying to downgrade to JB using firmware from sammobile.com. Do this may brick your phone.
Does your phone have a custom recovery? If not, you could try flashing Philz for the d2lte and install supersu from recovery.

No it does not. Thanks I'll try that. How do you install super so froom recovery and would i get root access?
Thanks so much!!!
In order to flash supersu, you will need to install a custom recovery onto your phone. Doing this will automatically void your warranty.
