Hello
I had rooted my S3 few days ago with this tool SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 TOOLKIT V1.0 so my phone has now root access a CWM.
Modem version I9300XXLEF
Number version IMM76D.I9300XXALEF
But notification said that there's new update available - 8,91MB installation brakes after restart cause lack of some signed files, is it possible to update my phone now but without erasing any data ?
I have found latest firmware here Samsung-Updates.com-GT-I9300_XEO_1_20120612172415_pax5uhw4id.zip XEO for Poland but don't want to loose any data from phone
Which tool should I use and what files should I use ?
Thank You for any help.
If you want to go back to stock rom why don't you use the Toolkit again? It's pretty straight forward.
Just flash the latest Firmware via CWM if you want to update.
thread: Official Stock Firmware (up to latest)
back-up via Titanium Backup if you don't want to lose your data

I'm still on stock ROM but rooted and with CWM, so there's no way just to apply modified update, or to unroot it with stock bootloader just to do an update and then root it again with CWM ?
@bordikun
Yeah, I have read it but it's full firmware/ROM if I understand it correctly, I got Titanium Backup and use it but just feel that all this is just an overkill, so many procedures just to update 8,91MB of data ?
have you tried there ?

apparently accoding to the main cf root page, YES you can. But you will need to re-root after you update.
I had rooted S3 and It couldn't update OTA. Yes, It cannot update OTA if it's got CF root.
I updated the firmware with kies and lost the root access.
No it can not, you can download the update but it will not get installed because you have a custom recovery. You can however upgrade with Kies. Best way is to flash the new rom ( from www.sammobile.com/firmware) with Mobile Odin Pro and keep root this way.
no you can't. You have to update with kies but after that you will loose root permissions.
Yes. That's exactly I wanted to convey. I had CWM installed. Overall answer would be NO.
If i update via kies or odin, all my data will need restore later on, right?
Will download mobile odin later on to try. Jz got the updated file from sammobile.

My tablet is rooted, but I never bothered with ROMS in the past. I received notice there was a firmware update.
"The update package was successfully received. During install procedure...etc,etc... Backup data and visit samsung website. Install Now?"
When I click the install button, it force closes with an error message:
"The application software update (process com. wssyncmldm) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
Is this being caused because the tablet is rooted? Is there a way for me to get the official update to work without having to install a ROM through CWM?
Tablet specs:
Model Number: GT-P7510
Android version 3.2
Kernal Version: 2.6.32.3
[email protected] #1
Build number: HTJ85B.UEKMP P7510UEKMP
I'm currently at work and do not have a way to connect the tablet to a computer so I'm hoping I can get this done through the normal channel.
Thank you for your time and any help you can provide.

Did you take a Nandroid backup of your unrooted device before rooting it? If so you should be able to just back up your current data, then restore your Nandroid, and run the update.
If you don't have a backup, you'd likely have to flash the stock firmware for your device with Odin (go to Sammobile.com to get it). That will remove root. Then the OTA should be fine. While I don't think just being rooted may necessarily prevent an OTA, it is also likely that it may. Back up your data before you flash of course.
I'm pretty sure, from what I've read, that a rooted device won't update (but not 100% sure).
You can flash to the official version with Odin which would remove root.
Guessing you're trying to update from HC to ICS?
If so, download the official version from Sammobile, flash it with Odin.
I think it's also highly recommended to do a factory reset after you flash, and then do the wipe data options.
This assures you are back to factory stock.
Last time I did it I flashed back from rooted ICS to HC 3.2, flashed ICS, and did the reset/wipes three times each. Then rooted again.
I followed a guide posted here, and all went well.
If Samsung gives us another update for the Tab 10.1, be it for bug fixes or for Jelly Bean, I'm pretty sure I'd have to re-flash the stock ICS do the wipes etc. in order to update again.
Here's the guide I used:

u will brick ur tab if u update officially after rooting ....Odin back to stock and try updating ......and to say frankly honeycomb was far better and had good battery backup than ics
Why dont you just Install ICS from SamFirmware or something...
Is it necessary to update your tab from Official Samsung Server?
If you want to upgrade from samsung badly
unroot your tab
do factory reset and just clean everything and then it might be installed without error idk...
you will need to be on an unrooted stock rom and recovery to receive the official update. is this the verizon version?
Hi
So here is the situation. When my wife's phone was on 4.0.x I rooted it using Odin and CF-root. No problem, peace of cake and she could use market unlocker to change the market to show her the Japanese content instead of the Hong Kong content. She very happy. Then there came the Jelly Bean OTA update ... Update went well, but she lost root and i did not have rooted her phone again ...
Now there seems to be another OTA update but it refuses to install because the update software says the phone is "Modified" and then quits the update process.
So my guess is i need to download to complete 4.1.1 firmware package to update her phone using Odin and do a complete wipe of all data on the phone (excluding her MicroSD card), in the hope that will make her phone in a "original state" again. Am I right?
So i downloaded the firmware package called I9300ZSDLK4_I9300OZSDLK4_TGY.zip from the Sammobile website. But after extracting this zip file i see a file with the name "KIES_HOME_I9300ZSDLK4_I9300OZSDLK4_500022_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5"
Can i still use this file in Odin to overwrite the firmware on her phone? Or do I have to use some tricks with Kies to tell it to use this file to write to her phone? Please advice on the steps i need to follow to put her phone in a state it will accept OTA updates again.
Thank you
I think you can flash her phone using Odin, and the content in internal storage will not lost except the system files, unless you do a factory reset
And you can enter recovery to do a full wipe before flashing, to avoid some unknown issue
Did you download the zip file from hotfile? If not, would you please tell me the link? As a China mainland user, I can't download files in hotfile.com...
Thank you
Thanks for your reply, I indeed were send from the sammobile website to download the file from hotfile. I will put it on dropbox for a while.
btw i installed it by the use of Odin and it worked very well. The status is now "Normal again" and the OTA updater doesn't complain about any modification. Know that this I downloaded for the Hong Kong version of the I9300 Samsung Galaxy S3.

I had install ZSDLK2 version, which has some issues, so I want to update to a new verison
I cant get official OTA update for my Samsung galaxy s3 from Android 4.1.2 to 4.3. Whenever i click system update it shows " Your system is up to date" . I know the reason for getting this problem. Because i have rooted my phone. Now can anyone help me getting ota update without losing any data and root access.
Details:
Samsung galaxy s3 GT-19300 international version
Android 4.1.2
Stock rom
Cwm recovery
Baseband version :19300xxema5
Flash counter displays '1'.
This is because of flashing chainfire root to acquire root access
Triangle away not used.
Its cause your system is modified (facepalm) ie rooted.
Just flash the latest firmware whichever you want via odin or unroot fully if you want to get ota updates

Try to use kies, sometimes it doesn't mind heaving rooted stock rom...
Otherwise, you should use Odin as suggested

remember to use triangle away aswell
Unroot the phone im not sure if it works i haven't tried it but fully unrooting it from the supersu app then do the ota update and then root it back that's the only way if you don't want to go through the whole backup processes.
Its risky though just backup your apps with tib and move your important files off the sdcard and flash via odin it shouldn't take too long
