Hey!
I just recently flashed twrp recovery and flashed some custom roms without making a backup of the stock ROM. Is there a way that I can flash the stock ROM and continue having OTA updates?
Thanks
I will assume that you have removed apps in you current ROM so before you return to stock you need to have a pre-rooted firmware will all the asus apps installed. Here is the link to the guide and follow the Pre-root stock method.

But shouldn't this method work?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/how-to-flash-ota-rom-twrp-t3209545
Do I still need a pre-rooted stock to flash the stock ROM?

I havent tried that method, but I think its the same. You can try it but be sure to follow it corrwctly and I read that it only works specific version of twrp. Read the thread and comment before doing it.

Yeah, that was the problem. I forgot I had to flash lollipop recovery and now it worked fine. I was also able to flash the stock rom with this method with marshmallow twrp but I had to flash the pre-rooted system image first through fastboot. Thanks!

Why do you think you would have to downgrade? Why would you downgrade to ICS, root, then update to JB, losing root again?
Just flash CWM/TWRP with recovery and flash Superuser with chosen recovery. The t999v is d2can right? Just for reference, your firmware should be on this page: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SGH-T999V&pcode=VTR#firmware, assuming you are on Videotron.

im on wind with a t999v
the reason i was asking to downgrade was because in this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1775616
it says that in order to follow the steps, you must first restore the stock ics firmware.
what i want to do is:
-install cwm
-flash superuser using cwm
-then maybe later a custom rom
Is it necessary to downgrade?
If it isnt can someone show me a step by step guide that shows you how to root/install cwm while on 4.1.1
Thanks

Just flash the latest root66 in Odin and you will be updated with root. If you want a custom recovery, download goo manager from the play store to flash TWRP recovery.

Ok i just found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771687&highlight=4+1+1
Would this work:
-Download the prerooted 4.1.1 wind odin tar
-Flash it using odin
-Download ROM manager and install CWM from there

You don't need to reinstall an entire rom, thats way too much work.
This is the easiest method I have found.
http://androidjinn.com/how-to-root-galaxy-s3-t999-uvdlja-android-4-1-1-jelly-bean-firmware.html/2
Flash the autoroot package from that article, and you are rooted. Then once you are rooted, you can then install a custom recovery with something like Rom Toolbox from within android.

Thanks that looks good. I just have a couple of questions.
This guide is for the t999. I have the t999v, does it matter?
Also the guide is meant for s3 running T999UVDLJA firmware.
Is there somewhere i should check to confirm that is what i have?
Btw i have a wind mobile s3 if that helps,
Thanks.
nevermind, i used the root66 method
and i am now succesfully rooted
I am currently on stock ROM and TWRP, is there any way to update stock ROM without having to restore stock recovery first ?

Follow instructions. Worked for me
I currently have Stock 4.2.2 Rom - S-Off - Rooted - TWRP
How can I get to the newest Stock 4.3 (Radios, etc) ?
Is it easier to just flash stock recovery, then take the update, then flash TWRP and superuser back?
Or has someone made the update into a root-friendly flash-able zip yet?
Thanks in advance if this is a dumb question, but I wanted to ask so I get it right the first time.

So I can just flash these with no loss of data? Or do will I need to restore data after I flash the rom?
My plan would be:
1) flash "Odexed Full ROM"
2) flash "2.10.605.1 firmware"
That should put me latest update stock right? (I might need to re-flash superuser)
I can flash all of this through TWRP?

You cannot flash the firmware in twrp.
It has to be done following the instructions in the post.
I would do firmware and then the rom.
Put the rom on your internal storage before flashing the rom.
Flash the firmware as instructed, then in recovery flash the rom, reboot.
Do not try to reboot in between, it wont work.
If you do it in that order you won't have to wipe, you will be on the latest OTA and have a rooted boot.img.
Supersu is installed already. You can prevent it from updating or flash the newest one here.
Read the OP and post#2 and follow it you should be fine.
Yes you want odex coming from full stock...
Thank you for all of the help santod040 !!
Your files and instructions worked perfectly.
I'll make sure to check in on your threads when the 4.4 update comes around.
I have unlocked my bootloader, installed a TWRP, and flashed a custom ROM. Everything is working fine, but I just want to know how to return to stock if I wanted to. Is it just as simple as flashing the latest OTA? Do I have to re-lock my bootloader?
Thanks!
You can easily return firmware and/or recovery to stock by flashing, but currently there is no way to relock the bootloader.

I'm sort of a noob when it comes to this stuff. I usually just follow guides to get what I'm looking for.
So would I just download the latest OTA and flash that? Can someone share some simple instructions on how this is done?
Thanks!
When you want to flash back to stock from custom, are the steps the following?
1)Download stock rom from asus
2)Format phone
3)Flash stock ROM from custom recovery?
The reason I ask is because there is a guide that says you need to edit the stock rom when flashing from custom rom/recovery.. Link to his guide here: GUIDE FOR FULL ROM
I've managed to install TWRP on my phone.
I'm currently on nougat with s-on.
I want to root so I can flash custom rom but can't find instructions on how to do that. Could someone provide simple instructions on how to do that please. Also do I need s-off to flash custom Rom, if so how do I do that?
Thanks for reading

There is a N00b Help thread that is stickied for exactly questions like these.
You don't need root to install a custom rom. Most custom roms already come rooted. Instructions for flashing them are in each custom rom thread. Basically you do a backup of your stock rom in twrp (select system image and boot), and then flash your custom rom zip file in twrp.
