Hello I have a noon question, currently my galaxy tab is rooted with 3.1 the stock Rom, if I update will I loose the root and/or any of my apps? I just don't want to update all to loose apps or my root. If you do loose your root will the current method in the forums work to reroot? I have the American version if that matters.

You may still have your root but you will lose CWM.
And the current methods for root still works.
Thanks for the reply.

you will lose root and cwm. When the new 3.2 rom is flashed, it overwrites the files rooting it. Just did it on mine and had to re-root it again.

I did the upgrade last night and lost my root. I tried to re-root using Super OneClick 2.2 but it hangs at step #5.
Can you tell us how you re-rooted after your upgrade please?
Thanks in advance!

Hmm.. I'm rooted, with stock 3.1 but the update fails. Hmmm...
That worked perfectly. Thanks for the link!

No more file transfer without windows
Just a heads up. I've noticed on every single ROM for the 3.2.2 update (including re-stocking and unrooting 3.1, and upgrading using samsung's official update) no longer supports USB file transfer on Mac (Android File Transfer.app needed) or on Linux. As I'm forced to use a piece of sh*t Apple product at the office, I'm bummed.

Me too - but updating with Kies worked. Then re-rooted and I'm done.

Updating to 3.2 works only with kies software and you loose root and clockworkmod.You have to reroot. Go to download mode , flash clockworkmod with odin, reboot and apply root.zip with new cwm.
Hi
I checked my razr in the morning and there was an update available. So I clicked yes. The phone rebooted with no error. But now when I open titanium backup it says that I need root access. Did updating my phone get rid of my rooted access? I opened superuser and there was no message saying I need root access. Should I reroot my phone? If I do should I unroot first and root it again?
Yep, updates will usually break root access. You can re-root with the new motofail exploit. In future, check out an app called OTA Rootkeeper to save you the trouble.

Any luck yet?
Same thing happen to me. Just got the Razr Maxx yesterday and rooted as soon as I got home. Woke up, phone updated and broke root. Tried re-rooting but not successful. Guess I need another root tool. Let me know if you have any luck.
Thanks my dude.

So I just bought a Sprint SIII, and avoided the OTA like any tinkerer would. I flashed CWM, and rooted successfully, but I don't know what to do with the OTA. As this is a shared device, the other user is likely to install the update. Will we lose root after the update? There's been a lot of talk of updates here and all the searching still hasn't gotten me the info I need. Can a fellow get a hand? If it takes root, will OTA root keeper work? Can I just re-do the entire process using the toolkit and the AIO option?
You can't update with the OTA if you're rooted by going into Settings, so you should be okay.

So it won't touch CWM
Edit: The notification was there before we rooted, which is why, I imagine we still got it.
Clicked thanky.
Total confusion. So I have to apply the update and reroot in CWM...then the update will rewrite the stock recovery, and I reflash CWM...say, with the toolkit?

Yes pretty much. If you apply the update on the stock rooted ROM you will loose CWM recovery , but you can get it back by using ODIN or the toolbox to guide you through it

I rooted my s3 then I tried to run titanium backup, it said I wasn't rooted, downloaded root checker from the market, and sure enough, it says I'm not rooted. Supersu is installed and enable superuser is ticked in settings...Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp
So you are NOT rooted, ReRoot with CF-Root 6.4
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
flash cf root again via odin
If it does not work.
Than reroot using cf-root.
Make sure that in odin reboot automatically is set off.
After flashing remove battery and put it back in.
Than go in recovery mode and than it will be proper rooted.

what method did you use to root the phone? Did you use the toolkit, or ODIN to flash CF-Root?

CF Root is the best and fastest method for rooting imo, it takes 30 seconds and done.
use the chainfire method to root using odin
took less than 1minute
So I downloaded VooDoo Root Keeper and backed up my root. Downloaded the OTA update and let it install. Once the phone rebooted I didn't have root, but I went into VooDoo Root Keeper and clicked Restore root. And Root Checker now report I have ROOT once again...
You have to reboot after restoreing root to get apps to work that require root.
And?

Lucky, i installed with nothing to backup root.
Even after installing complete stock, then updating it failed... I don't think this update likes my phone very much.
If I remember reading this correctly you have no problem getting root, it's just that you lose access to custom recoveries.. So therefore kind of pointless to update since you can't run custom roms

From what I read you will lose root with the OTA and not be able to re-root with the current known method. Am I wrong?

I agree the future custom roms will have the parts of the update we want and not the major part we don't. I'll never give up my custom recovery!!
Well I haven't ran any custom roms on this yet... But this is still helpful ad I do run AdAway, Faceniff and WifiKill... which all require Root .

root without recovery is better than no root...
Not to be a party pooper, but why is this in the development section?

It seems to have worked!
Following this process I was able to keep my root, have not tried using recovery though.
Use OTA RootKeeper to protect root, take OTA update, restore root using RootKeeper, update binaries using SuperSU. Existing apps that use root still work as expected!
Glad it worked for you too.
Has anyone else achieved this? I'm tempted to do it but obviously concerned as I do not want to lose root. I'm sure not every phone is the same.
Also, does anyone know if the OTA will work if you have frozen apps ( including frozen bloatware)?
sorry for the noob question, I got my 1st android device a couple weeks ago and I'm trying to get up to speed quickly.
I see some people saying they want to unroot to take the VRUAME7 update... and I see others saying they took the update which caused them to loose root privileges. So I'm still trying to determine if I need to (or should) unroot to take the update.
I have the stock ROM, so can I just take the update without unrooting first? If the update succeeds, what are the drawbacks of not unrooting prior to the update?
Note: I do plan to unroot first. this question is mostly just for my understanding.
If you unroot prior to the me7 update you will not be able to get it back. If you keep root with voodoo through the ota you lose custom recovery/ability to rom.
