[Q] Phone Rooted and Running Custom JB

Well, I'm on XquiziT's ROM, and I've been dying to get the actual JB release.
If I do the OTA update, will it erase root and reset my flash counter?
Will it harm my phone if I do an OTA while rooted?

I read around and found that I should ODIN root66,.. Anyone have an idiot-proof guide for doing this?

Try the firmware thread in my sig. Instructions for Odin are there.

Odin + root66 or official tar images will NOT trip your counter.

Put twrp back on and flash either stock rooted rom or the rom of your choice. Options for roms, including stock rooted, can be easily found in the android development section of the at&t gs3

Would it be ok if i updated to a 4.4.2 TW rom with NB4 modem(odin) and wanted to go back to a 4.3 could I simply just restore my backup without any problems? Thanx!

If you use a custom recovery to flash the ROM and Odin for the modem only, you should be ok to just restore a backup. If you were to take the official 4.4.2 update though, then no; you'd be stuck on 4.4.2 thanks to Knox.

How to update bootloader to the most recent

Hello, so I never took the OTA update to Kit Kat. I just stayed on 4.3 and flashed a Kit Kat Rom. My sig says what I'm running right now. My question is.....can I just update my bootloader somehow from MJB to the new one so I can get the latest modem? I dont want to have to go back to stock and get the ota and then reflash my rom and all that stuff. Or do I have to do that?

Oh and if I have to go back to stock to get the new bootloader and modem....will this suffice? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486

Just follow enewman17's thread on how to update. Its in the General section. And yes you have to go back to stock 4 3.

My warranty bit is 1. Will that be an issue?

Nope. Doesnt affect OTA's in my experience.

Lol you answered my question on both threads....hah thank you sir!

Sgh-t999l bootloader question

Where can I download the NF4 bootloader? I updated my modem and I'm looking to upgrade the bootloader as well. Also what are the benefits of updating it. Thanks in advance for any response!

You can't... It has to be extracted from the ROM as far as I know. Anyway, there isn't much need to upgrade a boitloader, and its by far the most dangerous item in the firmware to disturb. Unless you have a reason requiring it to be upgraded, its best left alone, or just go up to the next full stock ROM with a new bootloader included.
