I'm running the Stock 3.2 update for the Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 and I have rooted it. I found out now I have rooted the device I will no longer get OTA updates. That means when ICS comes, I will not be able to update How can I unroot? Can I just flash an unroot zip?
I believe you will still be able to get OTA if you are still on the stock Rom... You will lose Root though..

Rooted my moms eris and want to update it to the latest ota update not worried about root allthough a rooted oced ota would be nice is there a rom out there like this??
Kinda need it to be stable since its my moms phone so i figure just going to the latest ota would be the best bet.
FYI
i tried to just update via the phone but kept getting settings force close errors...
if you are rooted any rom here is 2.1 or higher, just download a rom and your set, dont worry about ota...
fyi plainjane 2.1 is proably your best bet if your wanting to keep that 2.1 stock feel,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=685581
To get to the OTA
Flash the latest PB00IMG.zip leaked version 3 through the bootloader, let the phone boot up as normal sign in to google whatever. When your done you will get the OTA and it will run successfully, I just did it today because I had to unroot and I'm actually leaving now to bring my phone back to Verizon for Trackball problems, again..... You can then reroot if you want and you will be on the new latest radio etc...
T2Noob released a Stock rom with Root and the ability to Overclock with the Newest OTA about a month back, check it out

Just take a look at the ROMs that are available and see what they are bad on.

Hi all,
ive tryed to make a firmware update on the tab, but when i do so it says i need to do it via Kies, when i try do it via Kies it crashes.
Only thing ive done with the Tab is rooted it and installed pershoots kernel on it.
Any help would be appriciated.
cheers dalhoff
Sorry but if you rooted it (+ CWM I presume) you can't receive any official updates from Samsung regarding your tab.
Kies is of no use to you now and updating your tab should be done flashing new(er) builds through CWM.
For that I would recommend CM9, however CM didn't officially announce their release yet but there is a KANG out (I think you know). Check the DEV thread.

Yes he can, he only has to flash a stock firmware with Odin and it'll work.
will that not bring him back to stock though without root thus having his flashed kernel reflashed by stock?
The whole point of his rooting I read
But you are right, then you're back in the land of stock roms
isn't it the goal when using kies, to go "stock" or to get the latest "stock" update?
thx for the reply, well i dont wanna go back stock so i guess i have to flash it tru cwm
Then try a custom rom, you won't be disapointed!
I'm running Task 13.1 slim and it's wayyy better than stock!
I'd like to get ICS with working cameras on my Tab. I'm currently rooted running Task14 and looked at Task's latest stock ICS ROM with working cameras. But the rolling screen problems some are having scares me a little.
So my question is this: If I go back to complete stock (which would be HC) then get the OTA update, will I be able to root it using the same procedures outlined here at XDA? Just wondering if using the root method posted on XDA works while running the stock ICS ROM.
If this would work, do I get back to stock unrooted by just doing a factory reset, or do I have to use a specified unroot method?
Samfirmware.com has the stock rom for you download it from there and Flash via odin and you will have stock rom and no root........if u press reset it won't go to stock it will be on same rom ........hit thanx if I have helped
Hi every one.
Got my s3 when it launched & rooted it with odin using the unlocked kernel? Can't remember exactly ?
My phone keeps telling me there is a software update, but it fails when I try install.
Looking for some advice on what I should do to update it. But obviously I don't want to lose root access.
Also jelly bean is due soon & I'm just wondering whether to wait till then?
Im currently using a stock Rom I think?
I really like the way I have it set up at the min & I'd like to keep it as close to how it is now on jelly?
Can you make a custom Rom from my phone & put it to jelly when it's released.
Any help or advice would be great.
Cos I'm totally lost to be honest?
there was a member who had a problem like this.
1-)people suggested him to flash a stock rom update it and root it again. ( of course do a nandroid backup or titanium backup )
then there will be no problems.
2-) you can choose to flash any available rom for your s3. directly put it in your internal sd and flash with cwm.
you can search that in forum.
P.S: Roms are for use of everybody, you can select what you want to install ( you dont need to search a Rom made for your phone )
OTA's don't work of you are rooted and running a custom recovery.
Flash the latest stock ROM via Odin and root it, but you won't get official OTA's when you are rooted.

So flash back stock kernel through odin , update it & then re-root?
Can jb be rooted yet?
I might wait till jb is released officially, it's due in a few days isn't it?
Thanks for the reply guys but I'm still a bit unsure what I'm doing tbh .
I always take my time doing stuff like this cos I don't want to brick my phone?
Hi there guys!!! Thank you all in advance for all the great info and roms and tweaks this site has been providing me since my HTC Desire days.
So my question is this.I've rooted my phone.Then did a nandroid of my rooted stock rom. And then tried a couple of roms and now I'm back to the rooted stock rom(don't ask me why...maybe because I like all that 'jing bang' ). So now that I'm back on my rooted stock rom will I be eligible for OTA upgrades?? Or do I need to COMPLETELY return to stock taking the Odin route???

I believe you will have problems with OTA updates, being rooted - they may download, but fail to install. Full Odin-able releases tend to appear at the same time as OTA updates, so if you want to keep root, I'd tend to use Odin/Mobile Odin to update,
Thnx a ton mate.
I think I'll be keeping a close eye on the official firmware release thread.
