[Q] Some questions about rooting

Hi everyone
I am gonna buy a galaxy s3 this week and i want to know some things about rooting the device
I have worked with odin and i know how it works
And i used odin once to root my friends galaxy s.(using chainfire)
But for galaxy s,chaonfire created different pda files based on the region
But for this phone i saw that there is only one pda file (for all regions)
So here is my question:
Is this version of cf-root (the one for galaxys 3 i men)
Region independent? I mean won't i loose any languages?
And by the way,after rooting,is it possible to update the phone using kies or using ota updates?
Thanks in advance
Best regards
Ota no updates. Kies possible updates.Root information all in Development section.

Actually, Chainfire says in the first few posts of his CF root thread that it does support OTA (but will need to re flash CF root afterwards)

Thanks for your answer
But you didnt answer my first question
Is this version of cf root region free?
The S3 CF-root is for any firmware provided your phone is either GT-I9300 or GT-I9300T
All the info in the first two posts anyway http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238

Help on OTA required

Hi,
I installed cwm 1.5 recovery, SuperSU and ninphatemin3 1.1.0 to my stock XXLE8 stock rom.
Now I cannot seem to apply the OTA update. Can somebody help guide me to successfully update the OTA?
Thanks

Hi,
I had the same issue. You need to install Samsung Kies on a PC and install the firmware update with Kies. Be aware that your device is not rooted anymore after that procedure.
So you have to root it again. But not a big task though.
Cheers
Try QaA section

Of course you cant. Root = no ota or official support.

As multiple posts say root = no OTA .
But if you actually read the latest CF root instructions .
Recovery - ClockWorkMod (CWM)
A custom CWM 5.5 build is included in CF-Root, taken from this thread. This provides for the ability to install custom ROMs, and do nandroid (full device) backups and restores. Now also support OTA updates, but an OTA update itself will probably remove CWM, so you need re-flash CF-Root after OTA.
But why piss about with root then back to official update and then root again .
Join XDA and flash stock rom when you want .
Plus with 84 posts you should be able to read the fffff rules

No software upgrades via Kies ??

He guys

I'm running JB stock rom on my SGSIII (btu) , the official polish one , downloaded
from sammobile. I can still connect to KIES, but it tells me; your device doesn't support software upgrades via KIES.

It's because it's from Sammobile, not from Kies. If you would have flashed it via Kies, it would still say your device supports (etc. ...)
I think ur phone is rooted n your device status is modified. Now you will Samsung has changed update checks. No modified devices will be able to get update.

That's just the thing. It WAS rooted and it doesn't say it's modified (anymore).

Cut and Paste Kies no update .
Rom is not for your phone .You now present Kies with wrong phone and firmware codes .
Wipe phone and reinstall your original saved firmware .Or download it from CHECKFUS .

Try thanking the bloke above for giving you a steer on what you might need to do, go away, do a little research on Kies lite and then come back later if you need more help. If not, root and install any ROM that your heart desires.

YOU DON'T NEED ROOT! just to install firmware!
just use Odin and whatever firmware along with the guides on the forum

[Q] OTA updates doesn't work

i need help please!! i have instaled on my samsung galaxy s3 gt-i9300 SU PROversion and the triangle away...i can make OTA updates but when is installing it stops every time on 25%...any sugestions??
Hey man. I think u should use triangle away. Then unroot.. then format. Then wipe everything else.. then download some ROM or try kies firmware upgrade. That's how i got some updates. Actually custom ROMs are way better than stock and when ultimately or phone crashes, u can revive it using kies firmware upgrade.
