N if you flash 4.3 via some custom rom through CWM you wont loose Root as they are all Pre Rooted. All you have to do to Unroot is Flash Official Firmware Throu Odin

I have a HOX+ and here in Thailand they have just released a new update, will it install on a rooted phone that is otherwise stock ROM or will I have to go another route if I want to update it?

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!

Thank you very much exactally what i needed to know
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 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.

Did you back up your TApartition while on the old firmware?
If you have a backed up TA and an unlocked bootloader life is easy. If not the above should work
