Hello I have a noon question, currently my galaxy tab is rooted with 3.1 the stock Rom, if I update will I loose the root and/or any of my apps? I just don't want to update all to loose apps or my root. If you do loose your root will the current method in the forums work to reroot? I have the American version if that matters.

You may still have your root but you will lose CWM.
And the current methods for root still works.
Thanks for the reply.

you will lose root and cwm. When the new 3.2 rom is flashed, it overwrites the files rooting it. Just did it on mine and had to re-root it again.

I did the upgrade last night and lost my root. I tried to re-root using Super OneClick 2.2 but it hangs at step #5.
Can you tell us how you re-rooted after your upgrade please?
Thanks in advance!

Hmm.. I'm rooted, with stock 3.1 but the update fails. Hmmm...
That worked perfectly. Thanks for the link!

No more file transfer without windows
Just a heads up. I've noticed on every single ROM for the 3.2.2 update (including re-stocking and unrooting 3.1, and upgrading using samsung's official update) no longer supports USB file transfer on Mac (Android File Transfer.app needed) or on Linux. As I'm forced to use a piece of sh*t Apple product at the office, I'm bummed.

Me too - but updating with Kies worked. Then re-rooted and I'm done.

Updating to 3.2 works only with kies software and you loose root and clockworkmod.You have to reroot. Go to download mode , flash clockworkmod with odin, reboot and apply root.zip with new cwm.

I just got my 10.1 a few weeks ago. I did a software update check and it said that there was new firmware out for it. I have my tablet rooted, will updating the firmware through the built in samsung update unroot my tablet? will there be any issues at all? Thanks in advanced
P.S. I have 3.1 right now
Just do a back up using cwm.

Hi,
I am in the UK and have just (a couple of weeks agoe) allowed the OTA update to version 3.2. My tablet was rooted before and remained rooted after.
Everything worked fine.
In most of the cases updating through OTA removes the root and custom recovery.
But it only takes few minutes to get flash CWM and get root back
thanks for all the feedback, however i am having another issue... i downloaded the update and it downloaded fine, when i goes to install it will reboot and goto the the update and will get to 11% and than stop installing and reboot. once rebooted itll say the update failed to install try using the PC (KIES) to update..... tried several times with no luck.... any ideas?

Try Kies if you haven't tried it yet. When 3.2 update came for US tabs many of the tabs were able to update through Kies only. OTA didn't work well.
Just get Odin, Download the firmware from sammobile.com for your tablet [It's their new official site] and flash the firmware/region of your choice. The general root.zip works for 3.2 aswell, just tried it the other day. You are however required to flash CWM 4.0.4 so don't forget that!
PS- Flashing new firmware's unroots it by default. Because by default samsung doesn't want their consumers to have access to the internal system files. This is why rooting is for advanced users :] So people know what they're doing.
So I just bought a Sprint SIII, and avoided the OTA like any tinkerer would. I flashed CWM, and rooted successfully, but I don't know what to do with the OTA. As this is a shared device, the other user is likely to install the update. Will we lose root after the update? There's been a lot of talk of updates here and all the searching still hasn't gotten me the info I need. Can a fellow get a hand? If it takes root, will OTA root keeper work? Can I just re-do the entire process using the toolkit and the AIO option?
You can't update with the OTA if you're rooted by going into Settings, so you should be okay.

So it won't touch CWM
Edit: The notification was there before we rooted, which is why, I imagine we still got it.
Clicked thanky.
Total confusion. So I have to apply the update and reroot in CWM...then the update will rewrite the stock recovery, and I reflash CWM...say, with the toolkit?

Yes pretty much. If you apply the update on the stock rooted ROM you will loose CWM recovery , but you can get it back by using ODIN or the toolbox to guide you through it

So I downloaded VooDoo Root Keeper and backed up my root. Downloaded the OTA update and let it install. Once the phone rebooted I didn't have root, but I went into VooDoo Root Keeper and clicked Restore root. And Root Checker now report I have ROOT once again...
You have to reboot after restoreing root to get apps to work that require root.
And?

Lucky, i installed with nothing to backup root.
Even after installing complete stock, then updating it failed... I don't think this update likes my phone very much.
If I remember reading this correctly you have no problem getting root, it's just that you lose access to custom recoveries.. So therefore kind of pointless to update since you can't run custom roms

From what I read you will lose root with the OTA and not be able to re-root with the current known method. Am I wrong?

I agree the future custom roms will have the parts of the update we want and not the major part we don't. I'll never give up my custom recovery!!
Well I haven't ran any custom roms on this yet... But this is still helpful ad I do run AdAway, Faceniff and WifiKill... which all require Root .

Not to be a party pooper, but why is this in the development section?

It seems to have worked!
Following this process I was able to keep my root, have not tried using recovery though.
Use OTA RootKeeper to protect root, take OTA update, restore root using RootKeeper, update binaries using SuperSU. Existing apps that use root still work as expected!
Glad it worked for you too.
Has anyone else achieved this? I'm tempted to do it but obviously concerned as I do not want to lose root. I'm sure not every phone is the same.
Also, does anyone know if the OTA will work if you have frozen apps ( including frozen bloatware)?
sorry for the noob question, I got my 1st android device a couple weeks ago and I'm trying to get up to speed quickly.
I see some people saying they want to unroot to take the VRUAME7 update... and I see others saying they took the update which caused them to loose root privileges. So I'm still trying to determine if I need to (or should) unroot to take the update.
I have the stock ROM, so can I just take the update without unrooting first? If the update succeeds, what are the drawbacks of not unrooting prior to the update?
Note: I do plan to unroot first. this question is mostly just for my understanding.
If you unroot prior to the me7 update you will not be able to get it back. If you keep root with voodoo through the ota you lose custom recovery/ability to rom.

Breakdown:
Was rooted with twrp recover running jellywizmj9
Accidently installed ota 4.3 firmware and got stuck in a bootloop
I managed somehow to the other day to install the stock rom that was rooted but then attempted to unlock the bootloader so I could reinstall trwp and custom roms again. This is were things fell apart.
Prior to trying to unlock the bootloader I had the following on the phone (trying to recall exactly from memory) Android version 4.1.1 and baseband vraljb
Using odn3 v3.07
I have flashed the pit file successfully
I have flashed root66_vzw_stock_system.tar.md5 successfully
---- still locked on boot screen
VRALJB fails in sboot.in
And WAMC3 says its unsupported version
In my oden mode the screen says:
Product name: sch-i605
Custom binary downloads: no
Current binary: Samsung official
System status: custom
Know warranty void: 0
RP swrev: A2
I have tried removing the sim card and sd card resetting phone I think I tried it all.
Right now I will settle for a functioning phone. Rooted or unrooted, bootloader or not. I just want my phone functioning again.
ok here is a solution that i found on xda. since i downloaded 4.3 i screwed myself until someone comes up with an unlocker for bootloader. I had to install vzwemj9. the phone is now working and is rooted still.
With this being said with the phone being rooted is there any way outside of the bootloader to install custom roms?

If you used ODIN to restore to stock 4.3 MJ9, then I'm confused how you're still rooted. Did you root it with saferoot?
If it's rooted, you should be able to flash custom ROM's with safestrap. Check it this thread on Safestrap..... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51616723

Yep. You should be able to root 4.3 MJ9 with saferoot. Here's the link to saferoot-- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48392009. If you have data and apps leftover from before you restored, it sounds like everything might not have got wiped with the factory restore. Did you use Droidstyle's guide to restore? You might see if a factory reset from within the settings of the stock ROM would wipe everything.... and you could also try to do another Odin restore.

It sounds like you took the OTA update to the recent 4.3 VRUAND3 build, which doesn't work with saferoot. Others have had success using ODIN to revert back to 4.3 VRUEMJ9. You can use Droidstyle's guide to restore back to factory stock MJ9.... from there, you should be able to use saferoot on MJ9 to get root access.
