Just root like you did the first time
Sent from the iPhone graveyard.

as they all have said.
I was on this new update but didnt see a point in it as of right now since ill wait the official ota ics to drop and become a flashable zip.

I was able to re-root it again using Odin. It wasn't that I didn't know how to do it, I just wanted to see if anyone else has done it just to know if it works out okay. And it turns out everything is okay. I'm paranoid...
Anyways thanks for your responses.

are we still waiting for the official jellybean?

i posted a thread about a couple of weeks ago, asking how to update to the official jellybean.
then people said it's not official and it's just a preview version and i should wait for the official version.
so.. my question is.. are we still waiting for it?
if it already came out, how would i update my unlocked & rooted 4.0.4 official yakju to officialy 4.1 jellybean?
please help,

wow surprise surprise.
as soon as i posted this message and looked at my phone, it says "system update is available blah blah...."
but when i posted that previous post, some guy said i won't be able to receive OTA updates if i have custom fonts and clockwork recovery mode installed...
so what's going on? i'm very confused... (yes i'm a noob)..
and if i accept this update, will i lose unlock and root?
and all my contact info and data too?

If you've modified your /system and have a custom recovery installed, OTA will fail. Just flash the update through custom recovery.

Custom ROMs include rooted stock ROMs. There are far too many threads on this very same subject for me to hold your hand the whole way. I'm sorry, but I'm not a give a man a fish kinda guy.

I have not tried this myself. I always flash back to stock to accept an OTA.
Free tool trying to protect root across manufacturer's OTA updates:
http://www.google.com/#hl=en&gs_nf=...f.,cf.osb&fp=ce19979f0aca28f&biw=1280&bih=655
If you are completely stock and on stock recovery you can accept the OTA. Search the forums or google how to forever root or keep root on a galaxy nexus. Worst case you can flash back to stock 4.0.4
Before doing so:
Make backups of everything. Pics, contact, nandroid backups, music, etc......Become familiar with the different recoveries. Google will provide videos and links how to do this. There are a number of apps that you should use to flash ROMs most are free but I recommend the paid versions. Do your homework and you will better understand the essential of what you are doing.

Have a look at the "flash" link in my sig to revert to stock, and the "update" link to update from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1. You cannot apply a stock update to a modified ROM...

Sgs3 updated to a newer baseband

As of right now T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 known as SGH-T999UVLEM is upgrading to a newer Version which is SGH-T999UVLH2
I don't think the over the air (OTA) mode is working right now because I did many tries and it keep saying device up to date so if you want to try it us KIES. if you version of KIES is not up to date you will have to update it first then you will be able to upgrade the phone.
it will take about 10 to 15 minutes of your time and it will depend on your connection.
everything like root will be gone after the update. :victory:
ok after you update, you will be able to go back and use the same method you use to to root the older version and install a different boot.
mine is working fine I don't find any problem yet.

This doesn't belong here

[Q] How To Update Rooted S3?

Take a look in the android dev sections to this forum. If you ever update once rooted, you should be flashing a new ROM (clean or dirty flashing) to receive the next update. Running stock ROM in between a Sammy update and while having the older ROM without the newest update will yield that result.

There are plenty of reasons for rooting but remaining stock (such as: tethering, Droid wall, Titanium Backup to allow me to backup and restore app data, removing bloat, etc).
I have flashed custom rooms in the past on my Evo but right now I am happy with my S3 at stock.

I was in the same boat at you. I put it off for a while but finally decided to update tonight. I followed the steps posted here.

You can update your baseband by flashing a properly packaged official baseband zip, or flash from recovery tool (my preference), like the one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29820376. There are also unofficial, or leaked basebands, available to flash from all-in-one zips, such as the one here: http://goo.im/devs/freeza/Galaxy-S-fre3-LIGFirmwareModemAIO.zip.
As far as the build version goes, that does not have to match your baseband (modem). Most of the ICS ROMs are LG8, although there are some LI3 ICS ROMs to choose from. There's also a leaked build of Jellybean, builds LIF & LIG, with a third leak LIH reportedly coming out tomorrow. Once rooted, you can update your build version by flashing the ROM of your choice, based upon the build of your choice.
One of the top developers, and probably the greatest asset to this community, is freeza. He explained the difference very well here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32095775
That's a long-winded response, but I hope it answered your original question, and helps you out.
Have fun!
Edit: Once you're rooted, you'll still receive OTA update notifications, which will continually annoy you until you choose to update and reboot. Once you reboot, the update will fail because of your custom recovery (you will NOT lose root) and the notification will go away....until the next OTA...

Excuse me for my stupidity but I'm new to android. I'm also using the sprint variant of the s3 and have it rooted with stock rom. However my build number is IMM76D.L710VPALF9. I'm assuming the last 3 are the update versions. What is the current version and how do I update to it?
Also, I'm rooted with Clockwork mod 5.5.0.4. How do I upgrade this to version 6.0.1.2? Will I have to unroot then root again?
Thanks for clearing anything you can up. Don't mean to pirate the OP but I figured I'd post in this thread rather than make a new one. Thanks again.

That is one of the reasons that I am rooted... so I can use WiFi Tether. I do not it much. Hardly any data at all. But when I am in a spot and need a wireless connection and I only have my phone it comes in handy.
Some other reasons:
- DroidWall: Lets me block individual apps from accessing the internet.
- AddFree: Block ads in some apps.

why would you do that?

Of course. And after promising the update after advertising it they halt it. And they put out no official posting of this that I could find. Or the person you talked to is full of it because they don't know why you have not got it and don't want to bother or don't know how to figure it out. The last is the most likely.
Now of it is true about the bug I wonder if they will push the bug free version out to everyone again.

when i connected my s3 to kies it says my 4.1.1 is the latest firmware
so did att stop rolling out the update?

You updated via Kies? I believe AT&T is only updating OTA, not through Kies.
Also, I was pure stock, but rooted. The update failed. It left my phone half updated and I couldn't get it to update, even after unrooting. This appears to be what happened to most rooted 4.1.1 phones on AT&T.
I had to flash back to stock via Kies in order for the update to work.

I was on 4.1.1 rooted and updated to 4.1.2 via OTA. What method did you use to re-root your phone?

Oh I'm sorry. Since this is an AT&T forum I just assumed.
I'm sure in a worse case scenario you can just flash it back to stock. I choose to use Kies because then I didn't have to download the correct firmware like you do with Odin.
The flash counter still says 1, but the Device Status did reset to Normal. Of course I lost root.

I don't think rooting enables tripping the counter. From what I understand, Tripping flash counter occurs when you flash a custom recovery on jellybean. Best method is to just reset the flash counter when you are going to unroot your phone by using the TriangleAway app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114
