Do I need to un root a stock rom to update my Sprint S3 for 4.3 rolling out

I have my phone rooted with this only. I used Odin and this file. CF-Auto-Root-d2spr-d2spr-sphl710.tar.md5
I do have super user and that's it. I was wondering with this new update rolling out from Sprint soon for 4.3. Will I need to un root or can I just update it and lose root.
If I have to un root can someone tell me the easiest. I'm new to this.
I have the Sprint SPH-L710

What I've read is that you have to be on stock ROM doesn't matter if it's rooted/non-rooted. But my suggestion is to wait because there is no coming back to an older version once you upgraded to 4.3. (I maybe wrong on the rooted part ) But it doesn't hurt to double check the threads

If this is new to you then just wait a week or so until someone makes a video tutorial on YouTube

Same boat as OP. Can anyone confirm if a rooted stock ROM can be updated to 4.3 without having to unroot?.

This might have more to do with custom firmware count...
Though I started messing with Android and Linux only 7 or so months ago.

I would recommend checking out "High on Android" video's at youtube, that guy got me started and I haven't looked back, he makes it easy for noobs like us.

Honestly I would go and read up on the general section. There is a ton of info over there. This has been discussed beyond end. The answer is yes you can be rooted but you have to be 100 percent stock! Meaning you have to have stock recovery and stock rom. Once you update to 4.3 OTA you will be stuck on stock for awhile! You will not be able to flash roms or kernels. PLEASE BEWARE! Cnexus has an entire thread explaining knox!

I would do what is recommended and wait..it's being worked on and we will be set free of the Knox Ness monster soon enough.

[Q] AT&T i747 android 4.3 [How to root?]

Ok what i want? Root my fresh updated i747 4.3. The problem is
1- I'm brazilian and i'm not really used with the english language, even more whn it's about technical language so my apologies if there is already a thread for this or if i'm stupidly ignorant to not know how to do this.
2.I have been reading everything i could since yesterday morning so i could upgrade afeter several hours my 4.04 android to 4.3 but i was expecting to think about root after i reach the 4.3. But i didn't know about the Knox and SELinux.
3. I have read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498233 but i don't know much about kernel and modem this part I simply do wath de developers says but wintill this point i coundn't understand afeter various re-readings if i need/should downgrade to 4.0.4 and start all over again researching about how to do all this flash thing with kernel, modem and room or i can try and update via recovery and do all the steps listed on the thread.
4This far i got mey phone all stocked.....stock rom, stock recovery stock kernel and modem.
5I have experienced rooting SII lite and Galaxy 5 but never had to face a more newwer device and so complicated or without tutorials to get rooted.
6. Sorry again for whatever.......
@edit i don't care about those security features and now i have just rooted with the Knox and SELinux. giving me an error about Super User.

Also just in case what version you have like for example I have a i747UCUEMJB and the UCUEMJB is the bootloader not to throw you off. Some roms even though they say 4.3/4.4 just make sure you know what your doing in terms of the bootloader just never down grade your loaders of you updated to 4.3 it can really mess the phone up.

Lollipop coming to s3? (Samsung hinted)

I tweeted @SamsungmobileUK, about Lollipop on gallaxy s3 devices, and look at there reply:

You would see it on the International S3 first and as always AT&T would be last. I remember having to manually update to 4.3 because the tar was out months before the OTA.

I highly doubt (still possible though) that an official lollipop would ever come to the s3. The s2 never went beyond 4.1.2 and it is only a year older than our phone.

International s3 wont get more updates due to it having 1gb of ram and the other s3's with 2gb can get more update juat like we got kit kat and the international didn't i think

Dream on!

The S3 doesn't have enough RAM to hold lollipop. I checked. But Samsung could release an optimized version based on the one from the S5 or S6 lollipop (Idk which one has lollipop)

Nonsense. If that were the case, why would CM 12.1 exist for the S3?

Yes it has 2GB on RAM. Mine came with 2GB RAM and 8GB storage.
Sent from my GT-I8200N using XDA Free mobile app

Because it is optimized. And roms don't use as much RAM
Sent from my GT-I8200N using XDA Free mobile app

Hahahahahaha. 2 gb ram is all a whole lot of new phones with L have on them. I had an lg l90 tyat has official l on it. Ithad "2" gb ram also. But is has a slimmer 2gb than this phone.

Android 5 (Lollypop) uses the same amount of RAM as Android 4 (Kitkat).
It's really time everyone updates to cm-12 because it is stable and has the latest security patches, unlike the officially slow options.
Read the xda wiki or ask for help.

well no source but keeping fingers crossed

If you're rooted flash TWRP 2.8.7.0 IMG with flashify app or Odin the 2.8.7.0 tar. Then flash one of enewman17's 4.4.2 stock rooted ROMs that corresponds with your baseband. You'll loose all data in the process so back it up first. Otherwise download one of his 4.4.2 ROMs & pull what apks you deleted & use a root file manager to push them back to system.

hey dude i fix buy downloading keyguard widget apk and keyguard apk. i both moved them to the system app folder and rebooting my phone and it worked. thank for you advice atleast you responded to my help:good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good:

@DrewHanks, sure! Glad you got it fixed.

With Android 6.0 Marshmallow out, I doubt the s3 will see anything beyond 4.4.2

Highly doubt it, but cm12.1 is pretty great right now.

New OGA update rolling out. Stagefright fixer!

Would you update your device to fix the Stagefright? Or would skip the update because you want root? Let's hope the current root trick works on this one.
Full build no. G920PVPU2BOGA.

This issues has been around for awhile so i would wait to see what the developers do

I'm not rooted so I just downloaded this 53mb update and it's applying now. Actually advises that it's a security fix for Stagefright and nothing else. It has finished applying in the time I've been typing this and just rebooted, but it has to go through the app optimizing. It jumped up to 224 of 348 quick enough, but the time consuming wait for the rest of them. Tick, tock...

Downloaded and am installing now.

I installed this update did not notice anything else changed. For some reason the s6 stagefright fix was only around 50MB while the S5 was close to 300MB, and the only thing claimed to be fixed in the s5 release notes was the same thing.

Updated, and screw root. Phone good enough to not need it.

What he ^^^^^ said!

Can someone give me an fast link to the OGA G920P or G925P firmware please? Or to the OTA zip.
So that I can rip the fixed stagefright lib files from it for my ROM.

Getting 1.2gb system RAM usage after the update. Hoping it's a tiny fix, it's a relief to have 600MB more free to do what I want with, was getting 1.8/1.9GB system ram usage before update.
Will post update in a few hours to see if this is still true.

Any root for it yet guys?

So I was looking up where to get the kernel source code for the new oga update and Samsung has not released it yet.. I was thinking of trying to learn how to make a kernel myself for root

I updated then flashed unikernel v6 0001 in odin and twrp and am now rooted on stock OGA , just wish i could remove carrieriq and itson.

Update then use odin to flash unikernel v6-0001 and then the twrp both here in xda forums. i did this and have full root with no issues.

Can someone (who have rooted OGA) upload all stagefright lib files in /system/lib & /system/lib64 folders for me please?
So that I can make an Stagefright flashable fix for all S6 models/firmwares.

Assuming the libs are the same for 920P and 925P, someone posted theirs for the 925P here.
edit - I don't know that they were rooted though.

You tried the update or changing kernel?

Samsung Tab 3 10.1 GT-P5220 build KOT49H.P5220XXUBOA2 - what to use to root?

Hello,
Ive spent the day just googling away about rooting this pda.
Ive found a lot of stuff but im afraid ill brick it if i choose the wrong option.
I got the build: KOT49H.P5220XXUBOA2
I was thinkig about following this guide with odin and CF-AUTO-ROOT but the build number they refer to is : KOT49H.P5220XXUBNH2 (as you see it has "NH2" in the end and mine got "OA2"
.....
Can someone please give me a helping hand?
Thanks in advance!

The best/safest way to root is to flash TWRP and then install SuperSU.zip file with TWRP.
I believe, a build as old as this, kingroot or kingoroot will root it.

Doesn't TWRP require a SDCARD ?
I do not have a separate sdcard at the moment, need to buy one.
Or am i confusing it wih something else?

TWRP doesn't require an external card. You will most likely be flashing it with Odin, so you will only need the file on your cpu. Also, if you get ahold of TWRP 3.0 or newer, it will give you the option to root the device.

You don't have to install a ROM. You can do that down the line if you get bored with the one you're on currently.
