No it won't

dr.m0x is right. it won't erase any personal data ... The only thing it does is (as far as i know) install a different kernel and install a different recovery program.
PS And btw it also installs the programs SuperSU and CWM
One question about this: is it true that I can't get ota updates after applying cf root? Instead I have to flash them with odin?

There may be a problem with OTA updates, if they work your device will probably be unrooted though so you just have to root it again

Well if you having this problem with OTA, you can always update via Kies which was working fine for me. I was in XXALF6 and rooted and managed to update to XXBLFB via Kies, but all modification, root and custom kernel gone.
Thanks for the help...

No such thing as rom your phone .
Custom firmware requires root .

Does installing a stock firmware remove root and the CWM recovery? ( I use CF-Root)
YES, it does....

If you are doing this for warranty, remember to use triangle away to reset your flash counter

I'm a complete noob to devices outside of the HD2, but I found it extremely simple to root my Dad's phone with CF-Root. Now he's received an OTA Software Update and I'm not sure whether or not it's safe to do as in the changelog it says that OTA support was added in v6.3 whilst I used v6.0 as soon as I saw it in the Portal. I don't really mind if I lose root, but is it safe to update? Or should I flash a custom JB ROM instead?
Hi,
Does anyone knows, how to resolve this problem?
When i flash with a stock rom, every thing is ok, but if i root it, the device status change.
In trakning this topic " http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238&page=131" but looks like there is a lot of info....but nothing is working.
Thank you.
Because you've modified your device by flashing a custom kernel....modified device = modified status. Normal device = normal status.

In fact it is the CF-root-kernel

He is correct cf root does not use a modified kernel to root S3s but you are still technically making adjustments to your s3 when you flash cf root. This is why u will always have modified status after rooting.
The 1st few paragraphs of the cf root thread probably explain it better than me lol

Anything that replaces the recovery and and stock kernel is deemed "custom" although cf-root is based on the stock Samsung kernel, the fact you have to use Odin in order to flash it is deemed as "modifying" your device....hence the modified status

But the msg, only appears with JB.....
Ok, then what is the solution to have root, with JB, and not having, the device status modified.... just like before JB.
The "problem", we lost the Samsung updates...

Losing Samsung updates is not a problem for XDA members we don't use the OTA or Kies route .
First job is to remove Kies and delete OTA app .

Ain't gonna happen its always been the way with s3 even on ics, you root and you will have a modified status. But as jjegan already said here on xda you don't worry about ota/kies updates just flash new versions through Odin software and your good to go.

Hello everybody,
my gt-i9100 will receive (short-run hopefully) the update to jelly bean but i have a couple of questions to avoid trouble.
At this time i have ics 4.0.3 official with root and modified recovery (not CWM). I have some root apps installed as "system app" like Android Lost, xposed framework and xposed tweakbox. I know the update will erase all my data (full update not value pack) but there will be problems installing this update with these root apps pre isntalled?
Thanks to all :cyclops:
It should cause any problems as the rom will erase all user apps and root.
What method are you planning to use to upgrade.
Kies or doing yourself through Odin.
As a precaution you could do a factoery reset before connecting to kies or flashing with odin. That way there will be no problems with stray aps.
i think i will use kies.
so i will not have issues having a custom recovery?
after upadte i must root again the device, right? if yes wich root use?

If I remember correctly, a few months ago there was a small update, it goes well but I had to root again the device, so how should I proceed to upgrade now?

So my S2 died the other day and I went to buy a i9300. Now I've been searching about S3 rooting and I've found conflicting info on this.
So when I first rooted my old S2 I did it with a temporary CWM that disapeared ofter reboot stayed in stock with stock kernel and kies was able to update my firmwsre without deleting root. I actualy updated from 2.3.5 to ICS via kies without removing root or loosing it after.
I was wondering if the same could be done with the i9300 I want to remain stock for now and don't want to replace stock recovery with CWM. Is there a temporary CWM for S3 so I can push the SU binary to system part without flashing anything over stock?

I did try the search button. The only thing i found was someone talking about the new recovery in S3 only flashing signed packages from samsung or something like that.
Thats why i opened a new thread to see if someone had some new info on it.

CF-AUTO ROOT. Installs only the SuperSU app. Does not install custom recovery. Dunno about updates, though. I think it supports OTA.

Use CF Auto Root from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957273 Download Odin and the CF auto root for your phone all instructions are on this thread
You can still update via Kies as long as everything is kept stock even though its rooted but you wont get any OTA updates that wont work

Thanks. So that method everything stays stock including recovery and o xan still use kies. Will a kies update erase root or will it be like with the s2 where the root sticks after the update?

Yes the update will remove root but after update simply flash root with odin again, only takes a few minutes
