Hello
I'm wishing to install this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890125
But it says I have to install the stock JB ROM since I'm on GB (I was never able to update, phone came rooted and unlocked, Kies doesn't recognise it). I'm worried that installing the stock ROM will relock my phone, which would be an utter pain in the ass. Do I have to install JB before flashing? Or should I just go with another ROM?
Thanks

I am currently on ICS 4.0.4 stock AT&T, rooted, CWM installed.
Will the update to JB unroot the phone?
What about the apps I have installed and personal data?
Will it replace CWM back with stock recovery mode?
Please explain if you know how it's gonna work

Well, you won't be able to install it over the air since those updates require the stock recovery to be in place. To maintain root you'd have to wait until somebody posts a rooted version of the room and flash it via Odin.
I'm assuming you can keep your personal data as is, since when I flashed via Odin from Stock to Rooted it remained.
Hi guys , im on CID 044 and i've heard official update is going to be launched by the end of november, currently im rooted and ive installed Custom recovery and unlocked Bootloader the rest is stock, will i be able to update to Jelly Bean 4.1.0 by simply just unrooting and flashing stock recovery? without flashing or reinstalling unrooted stock rom?
Thank you
Yeah, as long as you haven't installed mods or or deleted things.
You should receive the notification without changing anything back, just change it back before installing.
great! Thank you so much sir im pretty much good to go then thanks!!!!
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?
I've been trying, without an ounce of luck, to flash a custom rom. I'd love to update to Kitkat, and I'm currently running a rooted stock ICS. Almost every ROM that I've looked into says to flash with CWM, but I can't seem to find a version that will properly flash onto my phone. Am I doing something wrong here?
In the process of flashing the stock JB for Virgin Mobile. Hopefully once that's complete, I'll be able to get the next step going.
I rooted my dad's phone a while back ago so he can use tethering in case of emergencies etc. He recently got a smart watch and I wanted to updated it so that he can use it. But it has not been touched since that day. I essentially want rooted stock rom, I'm unaware of where to find that the closest I can find is StockMod kitkat. Which seems to not work on ATT phones? I just want to make sure that I don't brick his only phone on christmas. So is there something I should be aware of?
His model is SGH-i747
Baseband
i747UCDLK3
Build number
jro03
So how do I go about upgrading it? Can I just flash TWRP and flash any rom using TWRP?
I found this, so I should install new TWRP, then flash a specified kernel then flash rom? would this be safe route?
Some of the latest ROMs require a 4.4.2 bootloader and modem.
The simplest and safest way to get the latest bootloader may be to flash back to unrooted stock 4.1.1 and run OTA updates until the phone is running the latest KK ROM. You can then flash TWRP or CWM and a custom ROM.

Would this require flashing with ODIN? I just want it so that it works with root is not required anymore.
Yes, you would flash the 4.1.1 stock ATT ROM via Odin. I prefer Odin 3.07.
You cannot install OTA updates with root.
You can try flashing just the bootloader and modem but I prefer the long slow route of OTA updates.
I rather do it this way, manually so my dad can enjoy it today. I was wondering how can I update it's TWRP? it's at 2.3 but the TWRP manager keeps crashing when I update it.
I highly recommend the latest d2lte version of Philz Touch for recovery.

Ok I ****ed up, flash that kernel and did whatever and bam ****ed up. Not working... ****, I still ahve download mode and Recovery but it will not boot into the OS. I get a flash of samsung and then nothing else happends...****
I decided to flash stock DLK3 in odin. Then let the updates take it course (my dad doesn't need root) Where Can I find the file?
The stock ATT firmware is on sammobile.com.
If you want root, OTA to the latest 4.4.2, install Philz, flash supersu via recovery.
