Root should be fine. Its the custom recovery that'll prevent you from even being able to get the update.
You will lose root though unless you use voodoo rootkeeper or mobile odin pro.

Its pretty straight forward actually. There should be steps laid out in post 2 of the fw thread and I believe Theexel hasit in his thread stickied in this section.
If you have any problems let me know, but don't see a reason to retype it all again!

Along the same lines...I just got an s3 yesterday and rooted stock 4.0.4. Used OTA root keeper, downloaded the ota for JB and when I attempt to upstate it fails....I have stock recovery. No idea why it keeps failing. I would Odin the prerooted JB but my wife doesn't want to lose her settings she already set up. Any ideas?

You probably have a custom recovery causing it to fail.
Regardless of how you update you will possibly lose some settings. Its recommended, but not required to do a clean update anyway. But flashing with odin should preserve your settings as well as the ota would. Once they boot up it shouldn't matter as the resulting build is the same.

So let's say I download the flash able version of the JB stock OTA, I can flash it through stock recovery or twrp or cwm, right?
Sorry, not new to flashing ROMs at all..but normally I flash custom ROMs and don't care about losing anything, but my wife likes the touchjizz...lol

Depends if you've done anything to your current build.
Cwm will flash it, but I just don't care for it. Caused probs for quite a few people.
But you have to be full stock. No mods, no deodexing, no bloat removal, no modems flashed, etc.
Then you should be able to flash it in cwm.
Its preferred you do it through stock recovery. You can use voodoo rootkeeper to preserve root.

I just flashed JB 4.1.2 and im having a hard time rooting it.Is there different steps for JB? I've searched and can only find steps for TWRP but i have CWM installed. any help? sorry for being noobie
What do you mean flashed 4.1.2 ? Did you flash a rom? If you did, it should already be rooted
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
If you Odin flashed it just Odin flash twrp 2.5.0.0 and apply root when asked

I've tried millions of time to install super user.. But it keeps telling me error when it tries to update... Is it the mdl build or something else
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium
If you're running stock, MDL blocks root access. Flash any of the custom kernels to get around the restriction and try updating again.
Thank you so much... I was wondering why it didn't work..... Yeah I was running a stock rom but now I'm using infamous S4 build

If you are on TWRP you are not still on stock recovery which should mean that you can install SuperSU from within TWRP.

Hey im running Sultan rom 4.3 and had super su issues then I tried going into recovery and it got overwritten. Now im stuck with no root or recovery . Is there way to flash stock firmware on Odin? For touchWiz 4.3 please help ?
Or fix super su binary without root or recovery?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Just flash twrp with odin then super user or just flash back to stock with Odin

Please head over to Doc Holiday's Stock 4.3 thread and follow the instructions to the letter.
When I try and boot into recovery my splash screen is all destorted and then the screen is just black and nothing happens 'so I carnt flash anything ' any ideas I was gonna flash philz recovery but am unable to because of this problem

Can you get download mode? Try flashing phils recovery with odin see if that works
Sent from my GT-N7105 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You can only flash recovery via Odin. Must be wrong recovery you flashed. Same happened to me. Or if you can boot into Rom find app like goo manager with reboot to recovery and see if that works
