Hello,
I am currently rooted through odin I guess. I got rooted through the computer. A program rooted my phone I think it was odin. Anyways I have flashed jedi 12 and new modem before. I did not like it. I went back to my stock rom with root. but the modem stayed the same.
I am currently in 4.1.1 with baseband T889UVBMB4 which was the updated modem. what I want to do is keep root but update to 4.1.2. I want to keep stock rom if possible with new themes flashed (if possible)
Please help

Won't brick phone, but you will lose root. There are ways around this... root keeping apps. But if you want to know the best way around it, flash a custom ROM.
What is an easy method to completely unroot my phone?
Full unroot in supersu. Note that if your system status says modified, you cannot get the ota.
Its honestly not worth the trouble imo. We could all be enjoying the next update for a whole month before you ever get it via ota. Just wait till its released and Odin flash the new firmware.

You.!!! ! Kidding me ???!! Why not root + without root u can not flash any custom rom ...sir
So which phone u were using previously ? Iphone or nokia 3310 lolz. Any ways look for Android Revolution HD 19 or wanam Lite v2.9 both are based on latest stock samsung roms for good start.
Cheers

Lets start at the beginning - rooting your device means you have "Administrator" rights on it and gives you the ability to do stuff you aren't supposed to do without root. The most basic example is - block most of the ads you see when browsing the web with your favorite browser and when using your apps.
It also gives you the ability to flash custom ROMs (which are new "Operating Systems" that have been modified for the better by other XDA members), install more root apps that let you do incredible things, and lets you change your DPI (making all the stuff on your phone smaller, thus giving you more things to see on your phone at any given time!).
In short, there are countless of possibilities. I'd recommend sticking with the Samsung based ROMs for a start as they will be more familiar. Specifically, I would recommend starting with Phoenix ROM (found here). It might be a big ROM (weighing 1.5GBs to download), but contains most of the features you'd ever need. I started with it and no matter which other ROM I try I just can't find anything better.
Please note, however, that you're better off reading about how to root, flash new recoveries and ROMs, what's EFS and how to backup it, and understanding what you're about to do before starting. Everything can be found on these forums
Good luck
The only thing you'd be losing is your warranty.
10/10 would recommend rooting.
Can we rollback to Samsung provided OS incase have to claim warranty due to some issue?
What are the chances of bricking the phone?

Yes you can, you can roll back to non-rooted original ROM. Not sure if it applies to all ROMs but some methods of rooting increase flash count which can be seen by technicians thus voiding your warranty. but there are ways to remove it/set back to 0. Just do what Freezeil said and read through the Dev section and see what can be done and the outcomes of actions taken. Personally I've only got Root on my N2 as all I wanted was to install several apps that require root(Titanium Back Up, Root Explorer, Lucky Patcher, etc.) and I'll be sticking to original ROMs on it, i.e. no custom ROMs. but it'll all depend on what you want. On my N1 I'm running different ROMs depending on my mood and I like experimenting with it. But always make sure you make a back up of your ROM and EFS file which contains your IMEI coz if it goes while flashing, it's a ***** to get back on your own.
If you do root check out the xposed framework and its apps. There is just about every customisation possible, its worth rooting for that alone

rooting does not void warranty as now contributors and dev here has done great job as even after root the binary status remain unchanged so the only thing u need to do is just a click to unroot and if anything goes wrong still samsung wont be able to make out it was rooted you can check pre rooted odex rom here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230250 its normal samsung stuff with root priveledge u even have mods now to root it one click ,the only thing which voids warranty is custom recovery which can be reverted as already mentioned.

suggest u to download the odex rooted latest rom linked above and as those are samsung firmware default ,only if u want the latest firmware orelse just go rooting ,if u like custom then get your recovery to philz or twrp
note:backup your efs atleast 2 to 3 times just to be safe and keep it on pc or online storage
I like samsung rom which is pre-installed and would love if i can only get root access to this. So i should look for a way to get root access to this version itself. Can i achieve that? Any link that i can follow?

Galaxy toolkit is a simple tool to enable you to root your phone.
The main thing you will lose if you root is sky go if you use it. New eu law States you shouldn't lose your warranty either.
But you need to ask your self is it right for you to root your phone?
If you want increased volume, better anti theft protection, fewer ads, firewall, sd card memory swap, ability to Flash different roms, kernels etc etc etc.
The best rom I've found by a country mile is Jedi 17 rom.
Good luck and post back your findings

The day you are going to get a 4.3 update from Samsung is light years away. Let's conclude, it's too early to worry about it.:highfive:
@hellobye80
To get OTA just use Multitool mentioned in a link just above your post by @shhbz
select clean option
then open SuperSU app - setting -Full unroot.
After this you should get OTA, in case you didn't get try factory reset.
Still issue, you can get 4.3 (OR ant ROM) by flashing with Odin.
Thanks All.
Is there any app that i can use to restrict some permissions that are allowed to some applications like "Facebook" app that has access to "call phone number directly" .
Sent from my GT-N7100
Use xPrivacy xposed module.
First search xposed framework then you can get xPrivacy from that framework application itself.

I was reading a few articles and found something about flash counters. Do i have to worry about resetting the flash counters and if yes how can i do that? i am on stock rom with root access. i have followed this "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696" to root my phone using "1.Root with Stock Recovery - CF auto Root from Chainfire"

Upgrade to 4.3 with root
Hello
JB 4.3 for N7100 is now released for Note 2 in India.
I am currently using n7100 with stock 4.1.2 which was rooted using Method 1 as mentioned in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696" (Thanks to @dr.ketan for step-by-step guide). using this method I was also able to reset the flash counter to 0.
Now i want to have Stock 4.3 on my device and have root access again. is there a similar guide available that i can follow to achieve this?
I also read about Samsung KNOX and its added to the 4.3 but not sure if i understand that correctly. is there any issues with rooting a phone with 4.3?
Please Suggest
Thanks
I've searched, googled, read stickies, etc...
I have a US ATT S3 but when I got to About Phone and look at Build Number I don't have UCALEM or UCALG1 like all the posts say I should. Instead I have UCDMG2 which i can't find anywhere on this site.
My phone is about a year old (got it last december) and is 100% virgin. I've never modified it or even rooted it.
All i'm wanting to do is put Slimbean on it but following the how to guides isn't helping.
Even tried following the Noob guide stickied on the forums (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=18021600) but it too tells me that i should have a different build number than i do.
Is it possible to modify my UCDMG2?
MG2 was an OTA patch/update to Android 4.1.2 from UCDLK3. No official firmware package was ever released to any of the firmware sites. You can use CF-Autoroot to root (it will trip your flash counter but if your device is over a year old, it won't matter).
The ones you listed were the ones for Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4. UCDLK3 was the 4.1.1 update and as said above, UCDMG2 was the OTA update for 4.1.2. The reasons the guides ask for an older version, is because they are probably outdated, so the easiest way to root would be CF Auto Root which takes only about a minute.
Thanks guys. After rooted, is it safe to flash? Since searching showed me NOTHING about MG2 I'm a little skeptical.
Yes its completely safe and practically required for any 4.3 ROM.

Sorry for sounding dumb about this. Would any of these work?
Things were so much more uncomplicated on my Captivate and Inspire
After rooting and installing a custom recovery(I like twrp cause it reminds me of 4ext recovery), you should be able to flash away.
My phone updated to 4.3. I need root to use my Ps3 controller and remove bloatware.
I couldn't find anything on Google is 4.3 rootable? I'm not looking for a custom rom etc. I just wanna run it through Odin and be done.
Help meh
A quick search in general would have shown you this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2538991
