Yes if the superuser.apk is gone, that means you unrooted it. You didn't have to do that for flashing tho.

Once you have acquired root via CWM, you can flash any rom you like.

Having a problem- can't seem to root
Hey guys- I have a question/problem.
I updated via Kies as well. I didn't like the stock ROM, so I wanted to go back to "The Unofficial" that I was using before. However I can't find the right thread to get mine rooted for some reason. Can somebody point me to the right one please? I'm still fairly new at this and trying to get the hang of it.
Thanks!

I tried to the Odin root method after upgrading to the official ICS. It wouldn't boot. It got stuck at SAMSUNG logo.

samsung doesn't lock bootloaders...which is why I'll only own samsung devices

No.
Once you have CWM you can flash any Rom...You would only need root of you wanted to run that firmware....rooting with cwm before you flash a Rom is an exercise in futility...the Rom itself will be rooted one flashed.

That's because you just flashed a gingerbread kernel on an ics Rom.
The gingerbread root .tar is for gingerbread only...
Solved! Thank you,

No it is not, and your friend is wrong. You can update to JellyBean any time you want, and YOU CHOOSE if you want to keep your phone rooted or not.
If you root, you can update to jellyBean using MobileOdin (available in the PlayStore), and choose to keep root or not.
You can also update using the PC version of Odin3, but that way it will NOT keep root.
So, sumarize, you can do anything want, rooted or not, upgraded or not!!!
Only problem is that OTA update may well fail on a rooted phone .

Why wait on OTA if you can do it using MobileOdin (to retain root) or Odin3 ?
I never had an OTA upgrade and yet I had all upgrades before everyone else.
Besides, you wrote "may", which is the proper word: when rooting and upgrading are done correctly, your binary counter is ZERO and the ROM is marked as official, so any OTA would work if I had patience to wait.
Yep, you can't update via Kies. But Kies sucks anyway so Odin is your no.1 choice
Hey guys.. Bought a new Sam Galaxy Alpha G-850Y and tried rooting it using Framaroot, Towelroot and Kingroot. Framaroot and Towelroot don't support mh device and when i tried king root it Failed at 70%(rebooted once at 53%). Didnt worry then now tried updating my software by OTA. It says Your Device has been modified . Checked SystemStatus it is custom. Then checked root by various root check apps The Results were Different . see screenshots attached. One says not rooted one says not properly rooted and one says Rooted. Now What to do... titanium backup and other apps which require root permision say I dont have root. Trued downloading Supersu but Didnt open properly. As i think m not rooted. Now i am thinking to properly root it and then unroot it.
I want my device status to official. How to??
Or else I want it properly rooted dont wanna get stuck in middle. Please help
NOW heard CF Autoroot works well but WILL IT TRIP KNOX?? [major question]
Any Other ways.. any help is wholeheartedly appreciated.. ?
If you want ro revert back to stock status then search for the proper country firmware on sammobile.com for your version of alpha and flash it with odin. It will erase all errors snd bring the phone to the fresh os.
