Some questions regarding root... - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

1 more question please...
Can is flash the stock firmware downloaded from Sammobile.Com directly from clockwork mod?
And does it matter if I download firmware of another country??
(sorry but I'm a noob)...

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...
No dev wud hav released ROM with so many bugs...

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.

Hmm don't think so...
Never miss mind something about downgrade via Kies...
So only way is using Odin and flash a gb-stock-firmware...
Or u flash a kernel from here, wipe all, then flash a Rom...
CHEERS ;-)

No you cant downgrade by Kies. Use a custom rom or manually downgrade.

Cousin: S2 stock

I got it to work
For anyone out there you need to have a cwm kernel installed then from there go onto your favored kernel. If you can get cwm touch to boot up problem is with the rom or in my case the gapps i installed with it. Other than that it's good
Glad u got it. Ur post wasn't clear.---but u say the problem wasn't the Rom, it was the gapps U flashed...hmmmm. Just messin lol.

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.

Why you don't update to 4.3? I has been reading the forum and i think that it's better to the phone be updated.

Go read the sticky thread in general forum, you are missing most basic knowledge.
As above, updating to latest stock rom is recommended. 4.0 will kill the phone memory.
Don't ask for rom recommendation.
