Lose root - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

If I update to 4.3 will I lose root? Not running a custom rom just rooted.

just wait for the devs

Agreed, why update, lose root, or go through any of that headache. A rooted flashable zip will be along in no time.

Thanks guys

No ota?

Stock rooted ROM wont be able to get the latest ota?

I think you will need to be back on stock with a stock recovery. I tried flashing an ota a while ago when was stock rooted and it failed at 25% or somewhere in there

Yes and you need to be unrooted as well. You can use OTA Rootkeeper from the market to temp un-root, take OTA and the re-root.
I have the stock recovery, and I do have that app. I'll give it a go.

Where would one pick up just the stock recovery that they had in UVLH2?

If you have Mobile Odin you can load up the whole FW and then pick only recovery to flash.
Also Cybernook has a stock recovery a few threads down, but we are not sure which version it is.
Or if you can wait just a bit ill get it uploaded and get out the link.

Ah, yea forgot. Yea I still have the h2 image I used somewhere but forgot mobile Odin can flash just the recovery section of that.
Thanks!

The OTA isn't available to everyone yet. My phone is stock and not rooted and the OTA doesn't show up yet.

I'm rooted and status says im modified... how can I get this update without plugging in Kies?
I think we will need to unroot, then do the update via ota.

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.
Thanks will look into it

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

ota update...now I messed up

I was rooted, then used mobile Odin to unroot and went back. I installed the latest update and now need to root again on my mac. It seems the process that worked with ics will not work with the new update? Any advice?

grab the rooted JB ROM for Odin, install virtualbox and windows xp Virtual machine and re-root. There may be an easier way, but this one works for sure.

Suggestion use voodoo OTA root saver. It helped save my root when doing an update.

Noted for my next ota. Thanks for the info!

Anytime. What it does is temp removes root and does a backup. U run ota update and then run and restore root.

Wish I would have found that sooner.. but I was able to use Odin and learn a little there. Every bit counts when trying to get a better understanding of how android works (coming from iPhone)
