OTA update

I don't know wether this is a stupid question. Dunno much about rooting.thinking about rooting. But am anxiously awaiting the official jb update. Will I be able to update to this if I'm rooted? I mean if ota or via kies? Or rooting will prevent this? Pls shed some light!!!

AFAIK you'll be able to install the update without any problems, but you'll need to re-root after installing it.
So I don't have to unroot or anything and can just simply update without doing anything u mean?

It is easy to do, took me under 5 mins today, don't be afraid to root
If it gives you any grief with OTA update you can un-root without leaving any signs of doing it there is some good guides online just google it. This forum won't let me post links here but try the galaxys3root website, their guides are very good.
I'm sorry, but I dint get u. U meant easy to root or easy to update?

As previously said, if you are rooted you can still update and use the OTA for it whereas after updating you will loose root and have to re-root.
To make it even more simple you can use MobileOdin which will root automatically during the update process.
And one more question is about the flash counter on s3. Does rooting start a count or only when u flash a Rom it happens?

rooting, if I understood well, does not increase the counter (?). whereas when you are rooted you can easily reset the counter with Triangle Away app, its just one click.
Are u sure??

MAN! JB starts with LS as stated above. Is it too difficult for you to understand?
He meant that all 4.0.4 ROM are named like that: I9100XWLP* while 4.1.2 ROMS should be named I9100XXLS*

Guys, relax
Samsung played an evil game on me yesterday lol I got an update message so first I tried to do it on the phone. That didn't work and it told me to connect to Kies. Kies needed an update...
So I did the update and waited....
Slow internet made me wait.
After Kies update I connected my phone and it told me there is an update. Finally!!
So, I waited 3 hours, due to my slow internet but I thought, hey, huge update, that will be JellyBean!!!
After 3 hours waiting, it started the update, I got really excited!!
Now, long story but.. I ended with..LQ2 firmware 4.0.4 lol seriously, that was a hard piece of cake for me
So, the waiting continues..

We still got the leak. And with some own modifications or superb Roms like Chameleon ( which I love) it's a good daily driver.
If you haven't tried, you should give it a shot
