I have a rooted GS3 (stock rom). My wife and kids all have unrooted phones and they are getting the update right now. I checked for an update and it never finds it so do I need to unroot to get the OTA update?

You could try unrooting, but most of the time Kies does not recognise the device.
1)If you want to get the update the best way is to flash a stock 4.1.2 of your country and then update via kies.
OR
2)Just find the latest 4.1.2 (the update) for your country and flash it

Why are you posting in the i9300 forum?
and in the wrong section too
This is the Galaxy S3 general discussion section isn't it? What section should I be in?

Hello, is there a root method where it doesn't interfere with the bootloader, so you still get official update, but you can run root apps.

Rooting will not prevent at OTA update. This has been addressed, many times.
So you still get updates

how can I check and verify current ROM version on the phone? What is the stock ROM shipped with the phone. Is there a name for it? I've rooted my phone by using ROM Manager app. What I don't understand is under ROM Manager/Check For ROM updates tab, it says "Your ROM is not set up to receive OTA Updates. Please contact the ROM developer!
I'll jump the bridge if i didn't get the Froyo when it's available OTA. Please Help. Thanks.

Hi guys, I'm using an unlocked bell note on Telus.
My phone is rooted and currently have an ics rom running on it. So my question is to get the official ics update, do I have to restore my phone to stock bell or stock Telus?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Prob when the update comes you will have to go to stock gb or wait until the ics is uploaded by some one then odin it or flash it.

I messed up my stock kernel by flashing the wrong think, so that's a relief to just use Odin.
Hello everyone. I have a galaxy s3 i535 on verizon wireless. I am currently rooted and have CWM and a backup of CyanogenMod10 (jellybean). I am currently on stock ICS my phone shipped with. My question is how to i get rid of CWM and my root. I want to be ready for JB OTA. Also, does my bootloader need to be locked when i accept OTA updates?
I want my phone back to just like it came when i took it out of the box.

Root has nothing to do with ota updates, if you update rooted phone it will most likely loose it during the process. What you need is bootloader locked, unlocked bootloader on ota upgrade can brick the device
Do i need to get rid of cwm and my backups first?

I'm pretty sure yes, you do need stock recovery but you can keep your backups, those are just files saved onto the SD card

How do o get rid of it?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
No you don't need to get rid of it...as i said before the only thing required is locked bootloader, the update will overwrite anything on the sytem partition and eventually will get erased with the update. If you really want to return to stock find the stock .ftf file for your phone and flash it using flashtools or odin similar program..it's all explained in section 6 of the link posted by .xxx. second post of this thread....
Ok i dont want to brick it. So all i need to do is lock ny bootloader the when i get jb ota i wont brick it

Can we use Kies to install the update with Root or do we have to flash back to Stock first?

You can use Kies to flash, or download the .tar file and flash via Odin...that way you don't lose your app data.
Once you flash the new update via Odin, just re-root using CF-Auto-Root

Where can I get the .tar for the new update?

If you have G900TUVU1ANCH that is the newest available version.
I don't think everyone got this update from G900TUVU1ANCD right away.
Probably just a delayed update to that.
That one should be available through samfirmware.com
Ya I am on that version but I got a ota notice last night but couldn't take it because I am rooted

That's strange
I'm not rooted and says I'm up to date when I check.
Not sure what that would be then. Either that or a glitch in the matrix.
Mine says it's been modified in an unauthorized way, even though it's practically bone stock. The only thing I can think of is I have developers menu unlocked. Any ideas?

I'm not rooted, but I did turn on ART. I changed back to original, still custom status Turned off Dev Mode (even though the application is still there) and still no luck. Restarted multiple times.
What is ART? If I may ask
