I'm sure this has been asked before, but with search I can't find anything..
If you update to 2.3.4 from .3, will it keep root or shud I root again. And if so, do I lose all my root files?
Thanks in advance!

The apps will be deleted, but as soon as you re root they will be there.
Is there a way i can download the upgrade and Flash it with CWM?
All is clear, i'm just wondering.
I don't think so, not sure.
Make a back-up with titanium and it will stay on your internal sd.after the flash re-root with CF-Root.Download the free titanium app from the market and re-install all apps and data to phone and with market links then if you want download a kernel via the phone and flash via CWM

I have been installing a few apps and now im questioning if I am going to have to install these apps again after I root this phone? Those of you that have rooted your phone, have you have to install your apps again?
Thanks!
No.
From your question it would appear you are new to rooting. It does not mess with the installed apps; it provides more access to the OS so you can do more.

Rooting will only give root access, but changing the kernel will force you to format your phone?

Pretty sure you already need root to use mobile odin.

There is no way. For the first time you have to use a computer.
mobile odin requires root.No other way?

just over pc or mac! no other way trust me
Yep. Initial root requires a computer.
If you really need to root right now, download Odin and CF-Root on your phone and ask someone to borrow their computer or use a public computer. Move the files to the computer and root it in less than one minute and you're done!
i have a few questions maybe you guys can help... so here we go:
when you root with odin, it unlocks the phone giving you su right. does this also change your rom?
how is the launcher different than the rom? difference between flashing rom and kernal?
last one... when you install a custom rom, can you delete it if there are bugs to reinstall a different one or use the stock?

1. No
2 launcher is just your homescreen with apps and widgets, rom is whole firmware with all system files etc
3. Yes

Why don't you just delete the files through ADB?
Remove the CWM app before you unroot then!

You can't. It's marked as a system app, which is why it's not removed when it's wiped. Easiest way is to re-root, then use Titanium Backup to remove it, then unroot.

I would rather have skygo than my rooted phone, how do I go about doing it without losing all my apps?
Thanks

If you are rooted using chainfire superSU, go in supersu settings and you will find an option to completely unroot
Otherwise, flash a stock kernel from your rom

Go to www.sammobile.com, download the stock firmware you want and flash through odin.

any other way as I cant get odin on my work pc?
ignore this
I wiped all my apps and forgot my phone was unlocked which was only available through root so I have to keep root.
Whats the best rom to use these days?
get the stock kernel from <sammobile.com>. and flash through ODIN. really very simple. but then you root for the fun and freedom and why go back?
Hello guys,
I just started playing around with Android/ROMs/etc so forgive me in advance for what probably is a noobish question..
I rooted my i9300 using CF Root, and then tried a few ROMS.
Although, for the time being i decided to stick to the stock. Had it restored through CWM backup/restore function (Nan I believe).
But now, when I try to update it through Kies it says that the firmware version is not compatible.
I checked around and I've seen that I could flash the stock ROM and it would fix, although I would lose everything i have right now.
Wouldn't "unrooting" fix my problem? I mean, from what i can figure out, it's just copying cache.img and recovery.img to my 'boot'?
If so, wouldn't just putting back the stock files 'deceive' to update it?
Thanks a lot!!!

Use triangle away to reset counter, flash an unrooted stock Rom, do a factory reset, that should be or. You will be unroted and original status. Please correct me if I am wrong. There are also a lot of how guides here in the forum and on YouTube!

It was a great idea. Just did that, but apparently the firmware is still not compatible..
I also still see the CWM app in my app list..
Actually, rooting shouldn't interfere with updating via Kies, only OTA. That's what I read. Do you have the correct firmware region?
well its the one that came with the phone, so should be right.
would the cwm cause this? could i put back the original recover
