Dear all, I just bought the international version and would like to root the machine so that I can use titanium backup and others apps that requires root. I will not remove or do any thing else as I am a not good in all the computing stuff. After rooting with Toolkit, will I be able to receive official firmware update with KIES or OTA? This is my concern, if I am not able to update anymore, than it would be a disappointment.
Thank you in advance.
I think that you have to unroot and then you will receive the update. Then you root it again.

Official update fails at 32%. Is there a simpler way to unroot the phone without overwriting the stock rom as I am using the stock rom, it's just the phone been rooted via S3 Toolkit.
Hopefully there will be an update for 4.1 soon. I don't want to root my phone now, which in the end can't updated. I will lose interest in the phone.

Of course you can update your mobile phone. Simply remove the root before the update. Later you can return your mobile phone to root

Better yet, flash the updated stock rom via Odin.

I believe it works only for incremental updates. There is a thread here on XDA, where someone has done it from R6 to R6a (i think) on the Xperia Tab S. So should be the same, only problem is only US has incremental updates??? Maybe...

Has anyone used Voodoo ota root keeper and updated and been able to keep root? This is to the 4.2.2 update that came out last week.
Thanks!

I haven't rooted and I could download and apply the OTA fine, so it would appear that rooting prevents OTA!

I install application called OTA ROOT KEEPER which allow me to unroot the device and re root again, but also nothing happens after unroot it
Why don't you check threads before you open new one?!
I opened one and we said everything there...

Indeed. Actually rooting is usually not a problem for official update, but manually modifying system file is. You have to go back to a frash install of B12 I guess (with a whole save of your personnal stuff before)
