With the official update you would lose root. As soon as source is available one of the fine developers will more than likely have it ported and rooted for us to enjoy. Just give the sdk a try. You can always flash back to your previous rom

no developer is needed to root ics simple flash the latest superuser from androidsu.com and enjoy

If you flash the latest Nexus S ICS SDK port from Drew Garen, you will not lose root or relock your bootloader. ICS beta 3 and forward comes rooted (with superuser).
Go for it, ICS is a blast, and the port is surprisingly usable. Beta 5 should be out tonight so you could wait and flash that.
already flashed that enjoyed it but i unrooted my phone and lcoked my bootloader going to wait for ics to come out then i will root
How do you unroot and really lock the bootloader? Does it flash the stock rom to? .

Problem with Whatsapp
Hi,
I tried ICS beta 4 which is very nice. But i faced a problem with Whatsapp.
No contacts appeared.
Any idea to resolve it ??
But in general I found it very nice.

another problem
Hi,
Another Problem that I faced in that ROM is on the Exchange emails.
I could not configure my exchange email.
It seems that this is the same problem that I faced on my Galaxy tab 10.1
Even the problem of Watsapp is the same.

Are there any floating around, I made the mistake of not backing up my stock rom.

Just a quick question guys.
1. the official ota updates from google only work with the stock rom right? does it matter if the phone is rooted or not? so if the phone is rooted, do the ota updates work?
2. if i want to get back from a rooted rom/cm7 rom/miui rum/... to a complete stock rom (with stock recovery, etc.) so total stock i just flash the official 2.3.6 version from google via recovery and everything is normal, right? so if i am back to the stock, the ota updates should work?
thanks guys
nobody?
Yes the OTA updates would work for a complete stock ROM even if you have rooted it, After the update you would have stock recovery and would lose root.

I think you need to be fully stock, ROM + Kernel. I might be wrong though.
Hey guys...I have a rooted nexus s currently on Miui. I am wishing to go back to stock so I can get the official ICS rom from Google.
I wish to unroot my phone. I will flash back to my stock rom. Now, because I have all my apps, how do I unroot without wiping my phone? Since I will be unrooted titanium won't work. Would superoneclick work?
So my question is......(once I am back on my stock rom) ....how to I unroot without wiping my phone? Would superoneclick unroot button work? Please help. Thanks.

Sorry, I have read that you will lose all your data when you lock or unlock. Make a good backup.

No...I don't mind if it is still unlock. Infact...I would prefer that ...i just simple want to unroot so I can update to the ota ICS when Google release it
Sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA App
OK, then I suppose you just uninstall superuser and re-flash stock images of everything but data. I wonder if you need to restore /etc/install-recovery.sh? Actually renaming that back to original and rebooting should install stock recovery, but flashing the stock recovery image file will also work.

Why don't you keep it rooted and install rom like any other when it is released? So you don't have to wait for it to roll to your device

Why not just stay rooted and wait the few hours till some posts a rooted stock rom? I'm as anxious as anyone but I'm pretty sure I can hold off.....

So the question is in the title. Will the update brick or indoor my phone? If I wanted to install a rooted version does anyone know of a working mirror?

From all the threads in general, it would seem the update does unroot your phone. Also from those threads it would seem flashing a custom recovery and, subsequently, the su zip will give you root back. I don't know of a pre-rooted version out yet.
i just upgraded to ics a little while ago using rom manager, i had to go back to stock 2.3.3 which unrooted my phone but did not lock the phone . I was wondering the same thing and that is how the heck do i root my phone now lol. my phone still shows the unlocked lock on the boot up screen under "Google" but i dont have SU permissions anymore. if I still have su.zip file and cwm can i just use fastboot and flash the img and su.zip ?
What if I don't have my original files to roll back to stock GB? I just downloaded the version Koush put up on his twitter...will that allow me to flash in CWM and update?

Download stock images from from manager then update to 2.3.6 then you can flash the one from koush's twitter.
Root will be lost after update. Currently flashing su.zip wont work. Still trying to figure it out.

Let me ask you also, I'm currently running Alpha13 w/ Francisco.Franco kernel. Is the official that much smoother that I should lose my root?

I would post this under development, but I need 10 posts to do that. So I hope someone will look here to help me out.
So I got the new update yesterday. I have nothing against the stock rom, But it broke my tethering app. I found a way to root my S3. [GUIDE] Root for Jelly Bean OTA ***UPDATED*** - xda-developers
No problem there. I was looking to install a version of Paranoid Android, But using Goomanager this was not an available rom. (Is there one for the S3) I tried a few other roms and they all looked kind of chunky to me. A few had a flicker effect when you went to the home screen (aokp milestone 1 and bean)
Well now i went the route of http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...-back-clean-factory-stock-update-10-23-a.html And I am back to Factory fresh rom with an unlocked boot loader. If I were to root the factory rom and leave it what would be the effects in the long run, and is there a costume factory rom (Jelly bean) that would solve my problem...
Thanks
Well first, this shouldn't be posted in development because you're nitty releasing anything. So this Is the right spot.
Second, I'm not sure what you're looking for under original development you'll find the AOKP for us. If you want stock jelly bean that logs like AOSP check out beans build 6

Well I guess I would have liked to post in the thread that had the information in the first place. The thread is where he explained the rooting procedure that was not working for me. All steps worked except the last one. So I have to try to ask my questions over here.
Second, Now that I am back to stock rom I just wanted to see if anyone could answer my question about rooting and leaving it...
Third... Is there a paranoid android available for S3
Gotcha! Guess I misunderstood where you wanted to post, my bad. Then rooting and leaving it is fine, no long term effect. I run stock rooted all the time...until I get bored. Also, here us the official AOKP

Thanks for the reply's So what you are saying is I can run stock root until there is another update and the worst that will happen is it will break my root?????
Like I said I like how stock functions, but it broke my tethering app. I am still on the unlimited data plan and spent 700.00 for the S3 so i could stay there. kind of a waste of cash now that Foxfi wont work. If I can root then I can use open garden.
If your into the programing part. When using oden to root what does this do..VRALEC.bootchain.tar and then they have you do this one at the end.VRBLK3_Bootchain.tar
If I get answers for these I do have one more that I will post later....
Thanks again

Yes you can stay stock rooted and if you use voodoo ota keeper you may even keep root after updates.
The reason you have to flash the old insecure boot chain is so you can unlock your boot loader and install recovery, so that you can then root. The only reason you flash the new one at the end is so that to your boot chain matches your ROM. The last party is optional, but it just makes since to have as much matching as possible.

That is great..now to my last question..(a few more like this and I can post directly to the guys thread)
When doing this step I am using TWRP.
Step 4 - Rooting Your Device and Unlocking Your Bootloader
Quote:
Using your custom recovery flash the download you chose above from Step 1 (#3)
Upon exiting your custom recovery to reboot first time, you will be asked if you want to "Disable recovery flash", you MUST select Yes
After reboot, your ROM will now be fully rooted, have a custom recovery, and/or your bootloader unlocked as well
after flashing SuperSU + Unlocked Bootloader I go to reboot but it does not ask about the Disabling of the recovery flash. Should I be worried or should I maybe flash back the Factory bootloader with ODEN after I am rooted??
Sadly, this seems to be the most active thread for Paranoid Android. Currently that thread's original Dev is MIA and the last build he made was based on 2.54 (current PA is 2.99). Another Dev ported 2.99 but people are reporting issues with it. I ran the 2.54 one for a couple of weeks and it wasn't terrible.

Hey guys I just got a T-Mobile G2 and have a few questions if you don't mind.
I've been reading through the forums and I see that root and such is still not available for the official KitKat update. So my question is, is it better to not install the KitKat update and just go ahead and root and install TWRP onto my device? Or is it wiser to just install the KitKat update and wait for root? Does the new KitKat update provide a new radio or bootloader that I will eventually need?
I'm looking to install CM11, so just wondering what the best route is. Thanks for any help provided!

If you root and install recovery, you can flash the new radio. The KitKat update does come with the new radio. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

If you flash the new radio you lose rotation on other roms. If you wanna flash cm11 do not take the update, you'll have to manually downgrade to get recovery.
