I was about to ROOT my Galaxy S3 and just found out that JellyBean will be coming next month. So I was wondering, If I do ROOT my phone will I be able to receive the OTA update without any problems? I don't care that I lose ROOT, I just don't want to brick my phone

No it won't brick, you will lose root, but just run c.f. root 6.4
And you'll get root back.
No loss of apps.
I do suggest do a nandroid backup just in case, don't forget to uncheck ever root in supersu app.
I've done one ota before and lost root, even though ever root was enabled in supersu.

Cf root is a chainfire root package I use with my s3
As for OTA updates, yes you will still get them with your rooted S3 & Yes you can install them
You will just lose root.

Also, you can flash Dr Honks KJ1 kernel for voodoo support etc.
Hey guys, i'm new to the XDA-Forums but i'll have some questions.
I'm about to root my Samsung Galaxy S2 Android( 4.0.3)
baseband: I9100XXLPW
and Kernel is XWLPD
I would like to root with this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414
I've readen this and understand everything expect some things..
If i have rooted my phone, can i still update when (a new update) 4.0.4 has released?
AND what apps does i get if i rooted? (because i only want superuser)
Well that's all i want to now,
*bump*
somebody??!
Rooting will install Superuser during the process. If you're rooted and get an OTA update and install it, you'll likely lose root. So, you just have to re-root...
Sent from my MB865 using xda's premium carrier pigeon service
I did everything, got the superuser and i did run root check but it says sorry i don't have root
realy weird
what should i do!?
i flashed again to unsecure kernel
should i start s2 root again and click root device or unroot and then root ?

Did you reboot after rooting? If you have the Superuser application from the rooting process I'd be led to believe it worked.

Yes, but what weird is it didn't ask for permission
so i think it failed with rooting ..
what should i do click again on root device or unroot and then root ?

Root Check didn't ask for permission, or which app are you referring to? You could try to re-root, won't do any harm. You followed all 11 steps in the rooting guide exactly?

No it is not, and your friend is wrong. You can update to JellyBean any time you want, and YOU CHOOSE if you want to keep your phone rooted or not.
If you root, you can update to jellyBean using MobileOdin (available in the PlayStore), and choose to keep root or not.
You can also update using the PC version of Odin3, but that way it will NOT keep root.
So, sumarize, you can do anything want, rooted or not, upgraded or not!!!
Only problem is that OTA update may well fail on a rooted phone .

Why wait on OTA if you can do it using MobileOdin (to retain root) or Odin3 ?
I never had an OTA upgrade and yet I had all upgrades before everyone else.
Besides, you wrote "may", which is the proper word: when rooting and upgrading are done correctly, your binary counter is ZERO and the ROM is marked as official, so any OTA would work if I had patience to wait.
Yep, you can't update via Kies. But Kies sucks anyway so Odin is your no.1 choice

Yes, Use this and happiness should soon follow.

After you root, install a better SU that is in english. Convert the SU to system app. Then DO NOT UNINSTALL the vroot. Just FREEZE it.
Then you will have no problems. Good luck!
