apparently accoding to the main cf root page, YES you can. But you will need to re-root after you update.
I had rooted S3 and It couldn't update OTA. Yes, It cannot update OTA if it's got CF root.
I updated the firmware with kies and lost the root access.
No it can not, you can download the update but it will not get installed because you have a custom recovery. You can however upgrade with Kies. Best way is to flash the new rom ( from www.sammobile.com/firmware) with Mobile Odin Pro and keep root this way.
no you can't. You have to update with kies but after that you will loose root permissions.
Yes. That's exactly I wanted to convey. I had CWM installed. Overall answer would be NO.
If i update via kies or odin, all my data will need restore later on, right?
Will download mobile odin later on to try. Jz got the updated file from sammobile.

I rooted my phone a few months back, purely for backing up purposes etc so I still have the stock firmware etc. I just checked for updates and it is saying there is a firmware update available. It downloads and goes through the install process but doesn't actually change anything, when I check for updates it informs me again that the update is there.
Is this because I have rooted my phone or is there another issue? Should I avoid installing updates when my phone is rooted? I'm not really fussed about CFW at the moment, I just like the root to have that little bit more access.
Thanks
If you install an OTA update, you will loose root.
You can check if its root or the update might not been downloaded correctly by using Kies with the USB cable.

Thanks,
I don't mind losing the root so much, as I guess I can just re-root it? What I'm finding strange is that the update just plain didn't do anything lol. Kernel version is the same, gingerbread version is the same and firmware version is the same.
Hello
I had rooted my S3 few days ago with this tool SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 TOOLKIT V1.0 so my phone has now root access a CWM.
Modem version I9300XXLEF
Number version IMM76D.I9300XXALEF
But notification said that there's new update available - 8,91MB installation brakes after restart cause lack of some signed files, is it possible to update my phone now but without erasing any data ?
I have found latest firmware here Samsung-Updates.com-GT-I9300_XEO_1_20120612172415_pax5uhw4id.zip XEO for Poland but don't want to loose any data from phone
Which tool should I use and what files should I use ?
Thank You for any help.
If you want to go back to stock rom why don't you use the Toolkit again? It's pretty straight forward.
Just flash the latest Firmware via CWM if you want to update.
thread: Official Stock Firmware (up to latest)
back-up via Titanium Backup if you don't want to lose your data

I'm still on stock ROM but rooted and with CWM, so there's no way just to apply modified update, or to unroot it with stock bootloader just to do an update and then root it again with CWM ?
@bordikun
Yeah, I have read it but it's full firmware/ROM if I understand it correctly, I got Titanium Backup and use it but just feel that all this is just an overkill, so many procedures just to update 8,91MB of data ?
have you tried there ?
samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9300#
Title says it all. I understand it screws up the search function (but can be fixed with an APK reload, but will the OTA cause any other issues?
huh I didn't get a software update.. and I just checked.... none for me on AT&T
If you are rooted with a stock rom, you can not install the update because you are rooted. There are 2 ways to install the update 1) unroot your phone, accept the update, and reroot your phone or 2) flash a custom factory rom with the update already installed.
And yes the update does disable the universal search on your phone and not sure if there are any other issues.

Future ROMs will have the update, right? So, if we wanted to, we could just wait?
Hello.
I am currently on Stock firmware 4.1.1, Build No. I9300XXDLJ1.
The phone is rooted and I want to upgrade to 4.1.2 without losing any data. Is this possible? I will flash Siyah after installing 4.1.2 to reobtain root but I'm a little confused as to how to update the phone without losing any of my data. Do I need to unroot first?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
update via Odin or Kies. You will lose root

Can I just flash the latest stock UK rom on top (via Odin) and not lose any data?
Just like he wrote, just use odin, it will work. BUT ALWAYS HAVE A BACKUP!
use rootkeeper.
Hi there, I'm not so experienced so far but I'd like to root my Galaxy S3 All stock with 4.3 build, I9300XXUGMK6 (unbranded italian). So far I understood that as long as I only want to run some root apps, I can use cf auto root and mantain all stock, 'cause it will reinstall stock recovery. Then I want to know if triangle away works on 4.3 (recently has been updated to 3.26).
After that will I be able to get OTA, as long as the system files are stock and the only difference is the root and some root apps? Can someone confirm this? Thanks everyone.
Yes to CF auto root, yes to triangle away, no to ota -it won't update if you have modified your phone.

Are you sure? There's much confusion in this forum about ota with root, some say that it is possible to get it, if the reovery and the rom are full stock, only there's the possibility to lose root... In fact, there is an option, in SuperSU, which allows to mantain root even after OTA, so I guess it's posible to get it... Am I wrong?
Sure lets put it this way 99% of posts that have OTA problems are rooted and the install fails .
Via the method you post just going to have to try it as i have only seen one claiming it works .
But as i don't have OTA i cannot test .

Thank you for the answer. So assuming Ota not possible, after reset flash counter with triangle away if I want to download it or to claim warranty back I'll only have to flash a stock firmware with odin and it's done? Right?
