[Q] I747M still on Rogers 4.1

Hi,
I just noticed that my wife's Galaxy S III still has original 4.1 stock ROM. I tried to do a OTA update (Rogers) but the system is saying that there is no update available. The phone is rooted.
Do I need to unroot the phone to get the update?
Thx,

Just download 4.3 Rogers and you now have the latest firmware with root. Good Luck

If you load 4.3 with an updated bootloader, you won't be able to downgrade the OS.

Yeah that is true but if you don't want 4.3 then you can always download the 4.1.2 or 4.1 instead.

[Q] how do I properly install STOCK 4.3 on how to install 4.3 on galaxy s3 SPH-L710

Hello All!
I am switching to Sprint in a few weeks and getting an S3. I believe they have 4.1.2 on them now? Anyway, I would really like to be able to update/flash STOCK 4.3 onto it. I am not new to rooting and flashing other devices (like motorolas), but have had a lot of trouble with a galaxy 7.7 tablet (I bricked it).
Could someone please tell me what I need to do?
Do I need to root first, then use odin to install stock 4.3?
Thank you so very much!

Is the phone your getting brand new? If so, it will come with 4.3 and KNOX security. you can always check by going to settings>about phone, read android version and baseband-if baseband ends in mk3, then it has KNOX.

No, I should have stated. I am getting a used GS3.

Even if its used you can go to menu>settings>system update then update firmware and samsung software and it should give you android 4.3 with KNOX. If you are already rooted or if you don't want knox then you need odin to flash a recovery then install a rom using recovery

Phone rooted and at 4.2.2

My phone is a 4.2.2 and root and have cwm installed. I want to update to 4.3.3 or 4.4.2 can I just install any room as long as it is Knox free. Thanks

[Q] Root I9190 on 4.2.2

Hi,
First time poster...
I recently upgraded from a rooted HTC One V to a Samsung S4 Mini (I9190) on JB 4.2.2 - firmware I9190XXUBNA1.
I tried rooting with towelroot v3 - device not supported.
CF Auto Root only lists a KItKat 4.4.2 I9190UBUCNG1 file on the site - can I use this to root or will it brick my phone? Or must I first upgrade to KitKat using a 4.4.2 firmware from Sammobile.com since the upgrade is not yet available in my country? I am really not concerned about tripping KNOX.
Another question - how do I determine if the bootloader is locked?
Having a phone without root is just not the same... Any advice will be appreciated

flash this recovery with ODIN
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678420
then enter the recovery and go into the reboot menu and click reboot, then it'll ask you if you want to root your phone, then click yes. and you're done. if you don't have the supersu app installed automatically on your system afterwards, download it.
