So i rooted the device using odin 5.0.7 and saw that i cannot update my O.S
Can anybody give me a step by step instruction on how to unroot my device or if there is any way to upgrade my rotted device??
P.S-I am a newbie and i know very little about such things
If you have superuser by chainfire then you can unroot using the app itself. Otherwise download and flash via odin any stock firmware to unroot. Better still flash the latest stock instead of ota updating.

If you want root you are going to have to flash the new Roms as they are released and not try OTA anyway. If you want stock, that's fine, but you can't do much around here with a stock Rom.

You have to flash a rooted rom or reroot your phone after restoring your original recovery and updating your phone
Thanks, that's what I was afraid of .
hi there guys i am really new to all this rooting, i rooted my phone on the verison 4.1.1 and i know for my network the 4.1.2 has come out but it wont let me update it to that, is there anyway i can update it to 4.1.2 and keeping root
Cheers
Go to SamMobile and download the latest firmware for your network and flash it
yes there is. Go as decribed to http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ and look for i9300 with ur network. Then flash via Odin. Keep in mind u will loose ur root and u will have to repeat the rooting process... at least if u want to gain root again,
cheers
If you have the app, you can use mobile odin and flash the firmware with it, you will keep root.

thank you guys,
what if i want to update to another rom but has the version 4.1.2, would i first have to update my rooted s3 to 4.1.2 then root it then put the 4.1.2 rom e.g wanamlite 4.1.2 or can i just install the rom from clockwork recovery ??

If you have a rooted device, you can directly go from 4.1.1 to (any 4.1.2) custom rom. You may have to wipe your device, follow the instructions in the specific ROM thread.
If you are a newbie to rooting / flashing spend more time in reading + choose correct rom for your S3 or else your phone would turn out-to-be a costly paper weight!

You can't update any rooted / superuser modified phones thru Kies.

As long as the ROM & CSC are correct you can update a rooted phone through Kies, as far as I am not wrong, whereas you will loose root and have to re-root. What is not working is the OTA update if you are rooted.
Hence the easiest solution is to download the ROM via sammobile or XDA and flash it via Odin or better Mobile Odin (to keep root).

No, you can't. I've tried myself and it doesn't work.

Yes, you can update a rooted phone through Kies as long as the csc is correct. You will lose root though, but other than that it's safe.
thanks guys for immediate response.I think i will just use odin to maintained rooted. my only problem is i am not sure what guide to use and which is safer? although i research myself through i am just confused so many guides in using odin. my phone is GT - I9300 android version 4.1.1 with a baseband ver: i9300XXDLIB. i just want to update this to 4.1.2 if possible via odin to maintain rooted. If you guys can help me out which guide to follow that will maintain rooted and safe that will be much appreciated!
thanks a lot!

As I mentioned, Mobile Odin is the easiest way as you just select the rom and it flashes incl. root injection. For Odin, simply download the rom you would like to flash (e.g. stock rom from sammobile or prerooted from XDA's general section), and follow the usual steps (e.g. there are easy videos to follow on YouTube & there are many guides in the general section). If you chose to flash a rom that is not yet rooted you will need to flash CF-Auto-Root of CF-Root again.

got it! another question if you don't mind, can i use stock rom using odin without unrooting my device? some people say that if you try to flash your device with official stock rom might unroot phone? is this true or just using odin will prevent your phone from unrooting? no matter what rom you would use. thanks in advance!

there are two ways:
(1) Odin (desktop version): if you flash a stock rom (normal version, not rooted), it will be not rooted, hence you have to root again
(2) Mobile Odin (Adroid Play Store): if you flash a stock rom (normal version, not rooted), you have an option to inject root and directly root it in the process of flashing the rom

I see, the mobile odin i guess is suited for me. since i dont want to unroot my device i just want to update it.
you can always reroot it afterwards. Or better yet, flash a prerooted ROM

you dont need to unroot to change roms you should be able to flash any rom (as long as you have the right recovery and what not)
If your talking about just stock ROM rooted and wanting to get the 4.3 OTA then im 99% sure that once you root which (means you unlocked the bootloader) you cant receive the OTA anymore. im not sure if its worth the hastle of relocking the bootloader to maybe see if youll get the ota. just flash a 4.3 rom and youll be good.

cool thx im gonna try to flash a 4.3 rom
so i flashed this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2499452 and now super user says there is no SU binary installed , if you upgraded to android 4.3 , you need to manually re-root-consult the relevant forums for your divece . could anyone help me out here i dont know what to do, do i need to re root the phone?
All you have to do is download chainfire latest superuser zip and reboot into recovery and choose it and install it .
You don't need to reroot if you already flashed a Rom..that means you was able to flash it cause u was rooted .
You just need to install superuser zip.
