Some questions regarding root...

Hi all, (this is my first thread)
I wanted to ask a couple of questions about which I am confused...
I am currently running stock 4.1.1 on rooted international galaxy s3..
Q1. Is there anyway I can get 4.1.2 OTA Without unrooting?
Q2. I am not sure whether the country I bought my phone from has got the update yet... So is there anyway I can check that...
P.S I got my phone from dubai..
But I live in India...
Thanks.

Give a try to the temporary unroot option in the superuser app...
Not guaranteed to work...
Download stock rom through sammobile.com and flash through odin only...

If you already have CWM recovery why not use CWM to flash a custom 4.1.2 rom thats based on Stock firmware (like Android Revolution HD)?
Thats just as easy, has more support, rooted and you'll have future updates faster as well.
I already downloaded omega v34 but didn't flash it because people have lot of issues with it.. Lag, random reboot etc. Stock rom will be more stable I guess..
I haven't tried revolution though...
I'll try it now..
Any other rom you recommend?
Thanks!

Try Omega for urself and see how it works...

I had the same experience, Omega had loads of launcher redraws and sudden lag. No such experience on ARHD with Perseus kernel. That kernel now even has the exynos exploit fixed.
Nope, all other roms i've tried i never used more then a few hours.
Can you give me a link to the ARHD page?
Thanks!

Yeah, everytime you flash the stock image, you'll have to root the phone again... but so what?? I have my mobile sine 8 weeks and i think i flashed it 10times now, and lots of custom-rom installations, configuring the phone etc....
It's not a hard work, you just have to read carefully BEFORE you start rooting, modding or whatever. This forum is awesome and till now i really found an answer to my questions everytime without bothering the ither guys with a question that is already answered a thousand times just have to use the search... so, good luck and have fun with your rooted mobile. By the way, i recommend the Omega-ROM for galaxy S2 and S3, the guys are.doing a great job with their ROMs. If you own a S3 LTE (i9305) i recommend the Pandoriam ROM, works best for me
Best regards

Haha.. Thanks buddy.
Btw, I am not new to rooting, I have flashed at least 15 rom's on my old phone(galaxy ace)
But I was not a member of XDA then.. I just used to read....
But since s3 is much more expensive I wanted to be absolutely clear about the smallest of things...
Because with great power comes great responsibility.

Hello bro..I haven't unrooted my phone yet but with a little research I think I can help you.
In order to unroot and zero your root counter watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6sTze9uBcY
For the official firmware I think you can find your own here: http://www.sammobile.com
Let me know if you want anything else.
Cheers pal I've unrooted with galaxy tool and used yellow triangle away never seems to be stock though as when I search for update tells me my phones modified ??
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Premium HD app
What do you mean?Can you attach a screenshot?
If your phone is modified use Kies .
Modified means custom rom counter above zero or status custom / modified or codes no longer match product code .
See all the posts on how to restore to stock or join XDA Developers and flash a stock rom via Odin .

Also see to it that in Future u wont create 'Multiple' threads for each of ur issue, instead Edit the same thread/Title/Post.

Yes, use Odin as instructed and you should do fine.
The spanish version and any other versions would definitely have English language.
The CSC Changer app requires root permissions to work. Just follow the instructions, that's all.

That thread is about the differences between releases.
We got battery threads all over the forums.
Take a couple of hours and read what other users experienced.
Battery drain is always settings related, If we'd had a magic app that would stop battery drain you'd know about it.

That's Kazakhstan unbranded ROM. How do I know that? I went to the same place you went.
Notice that if the ROM listed has got "( )" right next to it, what's inside is the ROM's carrier brand (E.G Vodafone).
You'll get future updates yes, via OTA or kies; it depends.

Hi avipriya!
I'll explain this to you. The thing is a build.prop has a property which describes in which Region the phone is, meaning in which country the phone is. For eg. GB=Great Britain & IN=India. Now when you were flashing the Stock ROM, system files were being added. BUT build.prop was not added as it contained important info of your phone. Technically you shouldn't really worry if you think of adding the Stock build.prop and removing this build.prop as apps anyway find out where you are. So you should search for stock build.prop for your phone on google. And then replace it with your ROM's build.prop! :good: Helpful? In that case you could press the thanks Button.

So if you want your phone to be completely how it was before then use "odin" to install stock untouched OS. You should simply search for it on Google. I previously owned a Galaxy Y so I know that odin works for most Samsung devices. You'll have to download the latest odin tool compatible with your device and stock system files.

And you could press the thanks button if I helped.
Useless
Even though we flashed stock rom with odin, build.prop not change..
