I'm rooted with Oden but not running any custom ROMS. Do I need to unroot, install 4.3, then root? If so, how do I unroot? The system update notification is driving me batty and would like to update.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I'm trying to revert a Sprint customers phone back to factory defaults so he can install the carrier patches and updates, is there a way to do this? would i need to unroot or just flash a stock rom?
just need to know where to start, any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated
Assuming it is rooted now, if you don't want it to be rooted, just flash a stock RUU, that will unroot and return you to stock. If you want it to stay rooted, just flash a stock rooted rom.

If you are running Stock ROM you should be getting the OTA. Be aware that you also have to have Stock Recovery in order to let the OTA install automatically. Rooting won't alone will not prevent the OTA but you will most probably loose the root and have to re-root.

I just rooted it, nothing more. Thanks for the information, can't wait for the update!
So two questions.. how did my phone get unrooted? And more importantly how do I root it safely again? I was looking at the auto-root tool and it says in the instructions it's not for newer versions. That's why I ask what's the safest way to root again, thanks guys!
What exactly did you flash on? Sounds like you flashed a non rooted fi03. Do you want to just have rooted fi03?
I'm running ICS 4.0.4 I had FH13 and I was rooted, I flashed to the FI03 version and all the sudden I was trying to run a rooted app and it said my phone wasn't rooted?! So yeah wondering if that's just a side effect of flashing, and again the safest way to get it rooted again.

@Bannjio Thanks given! Appreciated!
Glad I could help
I was watching a video online on how to flash back to stock, and that brought me to this forum, and the topic of Quick Return to UNROOTED STOCK WITH FLASH COUNT RESET
I was going to download that .zip file but then I saw the warning DO NOT FLASH THIS IF YOU HAVE UPDATED TO MK3 (4.3)
What 4.3 is it referring to? The stock 4.3 that Samsung pushed out recently?
Yes, the stock 4.3 update

So is there a way to unroot the 4.3? I used CF Auto Root but now need to unroot or reflash a stock ROM. Is this possible with 4.3 and Knox?
Hi everybody. I've been looking for what should i do, now that the 4.4.4 rolled out, to update my phone without losing the root access. I'm in 4.3 currently, and i did read that been on .283, you can obtain root access by flashing the .230 kernel, rooting, and then installing the .283 kernel again. But my problem with this, is that i don't know exactly what to do to get .283. I have a C6506 generic usa, so i should have the .283 update available via OTA and via PCC, but i'd prefer using OTA (since my PC have some issue i have to fix first), so i guess .283 will appear in the update center after i get to .230.
So, there exist some problem doing this(updating 4.3->4.4.2->4.4.4 via OTA)? Will it crash or anything similar :silly:?
Thanks in advance!
Yeah you have to update to 4.4.2 first for 4.4.4 to appear, I just did the same update line 4.3>4.4.2>4.4 but I went back to 4.3 lol not really liking 4.4.4.
I see...but what about root? You was rooted on 4.3 and then you updated through OTA to 4.4.4? So there is not risk doing this?

Yeah I was rooted and unlocked bootloader, I had to relock my bootloader to update via OTA. You can just reroot when you're on 4.4.4

edit: Oh.
So does that mean that i can update from 4.3 to 4.4 without any problems, even if i am rooted?
That's great news, thank you!
