Hi guys. I am currently using touchwiz via the clockwork recovery method listed on this forum on my gt10. I am not rooted and have unlocked bootloader. Once Samsung starts pushing the official touchwiz update will I just be able to accept the ota update? Or do I need to return to stock and if so how would I go about that? Thanks for any tips or comments
Reason I am asking is some features on the unoffical tw do not work. Ie. Motion settings.

IV. Flashing a custom ROM - Rooted 2.1 v0.8T2...
what does this actually do and change on the phone (followed the other 3 sections?
If i don't install this: Rooted 2.1 v0.8T2.zip - what effects does it have on the phone and if don't do i still have root access? (could case a problem if i get the OTA update before doing this)
If i do flash this ROM can I go back the original ROM??
and does it change the GUI (HTC SenseUI) i have currently have and effect the way the apps work?
I ask because i have read about some issue with exchange calendar syncing with 2.1 stock devices. My understanding is HTC SenseUI also changes the way Androids native Mail.app, Contacts.app, and Calendar.app function.
Currently the exchange calendar works after doing the first part, however, i rather not install a custom ROM w/o fulling understanding what it is i am changing. My calendar is the main reason I have this phone.
I know not all of these maybe answer but any help would be appreciated. If you need me clarify I can.
Thanks.

if you are looking for stock SENSE ui ...ivans 0.8t2 is basically that, stock HTC sense with root built in, very stable and very stock, this is why everyone suggests using that rom when you first root ...... then you can tinker and try others out if you like ....
Hi guys!
This is my first thread post so bare with me I have a galaxy s3 rooted with CWM recovery on stock ROM. If Samsung releases a jelly bean OTA update to us soon, will i be able to flash it or will it brick the phone?
I know i can always flash a custom JB ROM that i know CM9 and AOSP are currently working on, but if i want to do it officialy through Samsung, will i be able to? Are there any risks?!
Thanks!
as long as youve used chainfires cwm ver1.5+ youll be fine to get ota updates but you will need to run cf root again after the update.

OTA's
Since v1.5, flashing OTA updates is supported directly using this recovery. You should however be aware that said OTA will most likely re-install stock recovery and remove this one. Furthermore, it may keep doing so every time you boot. CF-Root v6.3 (and newer) will try to disable this, it is advised you flash that. Just reflashing this CWM recovery will likely not help.

rooted galaxy s3 can i install factory update?
Hello from a noob
. I purchased a Galaxys3 Verizon with android 4.1.1 from a fellow that did not disclose it was rooted.
I have no idea what the steps are if I would like to do the next up date and what will happen if I do it.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks snuke1e
You don't have i9300 so not much help here.... Find Verizon section...
Hello, been a member of these forums for a small time now but this is my first proper post. I own a Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300, unlocked, rooted, CWM'ed, with a Siyah Kernel and running stock OS (currently 4.1.2.) I am not a very techy person myself and am surprised I managed to modify my device at all, yet alone to the minimal extent I have.
My question is this; how would I go about updating my device to 4.3 Jellybean? I understand I must remove root for an OTA update but I am not sure if the custom kernel will cause any complications during my install, and if I would need to remove CWM? I'd rather avoid waiting for Sammobile to release the ROM as I know this will require wiping all the data on my device - a hassle I'd rather avoid.
Thanks for your time and any feedback would be appreciated.
OTA update won't work with custom kernel and recovery.

Hi,
I have a Verizon Galaxy Note II I605 running Android 4.1.1 that I had originally rooted via Odin and followed instructions on the galaxynote2root website last Jan/Feb in 2012
I would like to upgrade to a stock ROM of 4.3 and keep root and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction in regards to which ROM to use and the steps to do so. I really only use root for the wifi tether and would like to keep the phone as close to stock as possible. I've gone through a number of different forums and posts but can't seem to find some good instructions with a corresponding recommendation on an Official OTA 4.3 ROM to use. I've found a lot variations on 4.3 ROMs, but most of them have gutted a lot of things or discussing having to flash firmware which makes me nervous.
Also, is it true I may be forced to take the OTA in the near future and potentially soft brick my phone if I don't either revert back to stock or install a 4.3 ROM which disables the update app. I'm not sure if the ROM i'm currently running has this disabled or not.
Thanks in advance for any help,

Beanstown or sophisticated rom will be the official stock 4.3, however your gonna have to flash the Official MJ9 firmware via Odin. You could take the OTA but the bootloader will be locked afterwards. There is root available with the OTA stock but you won't be able to load a custom recovery therefore no more custom roms.
+1. I did this with my note2. Was the same as yours. I'm now on sophisticated 2.0 highly recommended. I also updated recovery to Phils, which seems to be the conventional wisdom for flashing 4.3.

Hi
Can anyone please let me know how to upgrade my Samsung i535 verizon to cyanogenmod 5.1 custom...phone is currently running official 4.4.2 kitkat.
Thanks
It's not possible. VZW S3 with 4.3 and above updates have locked bootloaders. This means you can not install a traditional custom recovery and it does not allow flashing custom kernels, which anything non Samsung based would need. Your only option would be the Safestrap recovery and custom rom based off of Touchwiz. You can not downgrade either to an earlier version of the software before the bootloader lock either, just in case you had that idea. VZW asks Samsung to muck it up like that.
