[Q] Jelly Bean Official Update and root

So I rooted/unlocked bootloader etc..., but dragged my feet on installing custom ROM's. So i see that Rogers One X is getting an official Jelly Bean update. I am on AT&T so I would assume that the AT&T update is coming soon. Do I need to unroot so I don't risk bricking my phone or will the OTA update work anyway?

yeah man, you need to unroot, get back stock recovery and relock bootloader then use the correct RUU,.
it sounds like alot to do but it really is just a few fastboot commants and letting the RUU run its course, there is many guides but i think you are in the wrong forum, do you have the international one X or the dual core version?
if you have the dual core version then the correct guide for you will be here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1538

Can you point me to a guide for this for the international HOX? I'm running into an issue with the last part, it fails when trying to update. Thanks!

Thanks for that info and yep in the wrong forum. Didn't realize the forums were specific to carrier. :0
thanks again,

[Q] Update 4.3 toroplus

I recently found out that my rooted stock sprint gnex running 4.2.1 needed to be unrooted in order to receive the recent update to 4.3 . I wish to unroot, receive the update and then reroot. My question is if I unroot and reroot will I lose any personal data, or is that "problem" only associated with unlocking the device? Thanks!

Why not just flash the 4.3 stock rooted ROM posted in the Sprint GNex thread

yea it would make more sense to do this.
google galaxy nexus 4.3 roms and look for the factory image title... then scroll down to the gnex that is yours (maguro, toro, or toroplus based on your carrier) and download and flash

you could also google galaxy root toolkit
a real easy tool to use to root/unroot/backup/install custom recovery
and as I look for the factory images, it doesnt appear that there is a factory image for toro+ atm... so i dont even know if unrooting will get you the update.

Will an AT&T rom work in my T889I (T-Mobile)?

Can I use these roms in my T889I? I have it unlocked and running on AT&T and would love to put an AT&T based rom in it. Right now I'm running stock UVALJ1. I'd also like to bump up to 4.3. There's not much to choose from over on the T-Mobile side.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Anybody?
Surely someone must know.
I did a search and found no relative answers.
I'd like to try the Sky Note 4.3.
Thanks.

Yes you should be able to flash AT &T roms without any issues. I have even seen many T889 users on Skynote 4.3 thread trying it on their mobiles, go through that thread before flashing.

Make sure not to flash AT&T modem.

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.

I think you can't install an original rom Samsung with zip , only with Odin.
Have you try with Odin PC 3.07 , sometimes the 3.09 version of Odin doesn't work.
An other solution is to install an rom custom ( is possible with zip) and after an rom samsung with odin.
You really want a 4.1.2 version ?

i have tried all that my friend. the problem is new bootloader don't let you flash an old rom from odin, the solutions are given to it but they are not working for me. and some are very lengthy process,
i will definitely go for the lengthy process if no one has a backup of it here, i'm just betting that may be someone has the backup and can share with me so i don't have to go for long process, as i'm very busy.
and yes i need 4.1.2, i don't mind if someone can point to me a custom rom 4.1.2 but it should be stable,
