I am some what of a newb but with ics does it make things different?

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?
Thanks in advance.

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.

We might just have to re*root when they release the info.

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?

Hi
I have updated to ICS 4.0.3 stock rom..I need to root my phone. Is the rooting procedure is same like before...? or is there anything new to do with ICS...?
Please advise
Nothing new. It just does not work yet. Su app needs an update.
There is a temp fix on the forums.

Thanks Dear for your reply
So i recently got an galaxy s2 skyrocket and performed my first android root using the skyrocket easy root zergrush app.
I am running stock 2.3.5 and am on ATT . The only things i have done is install the COM, froze the tether, and un installed a few bloatware items
My question is...
How would i restore this to stock? Un root and all?
Also how would i install 2.3.6?

2.3.6 got pulled, so you'd have to install a custom rom.

That answers alot!
When 2.3.6 or the next release is published will i be able to get it via a normal "check for updates"

If you rooted using DoomLord's method, then use this.

For 2.3.6 I would flash Silver's zip for the rom. You will need CWM.

Fellow noob
So I'm fairly new to android as well, I would highly suggest taking a look this thread goes over rooting, kernals roms and going back to unroot...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427268
Then a couple of the apps that have really helped me out are Titanium Back up and Rom Manager. Makes flashing roms very easy, between easily flashing CWM and rebooting into CWM with just a click. Then TB with it's auto backup's and being able to quickly restore when you've flashed that new rom. (I paid for both of these apps, so I'm not sure what features the free versions have)
I flashed to Silvers rom to get to 2.3.6 and it's working great, was very easy to do!
Anyways, hope this helps!

I recently updated my verizon galaxy s3 to android build 4.1.1 but now I decided that I want to root my phone and flash some awesome ROMS. Droidstyles guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709) seems really easy to follow but I just want to make sure it works the new verizon baseband version I535VRBLK3 (4.1.1). Can someone please help this noob so he can flash all these bad ass ROMS I keep reading about?!
I used this tutorial ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046439
[GUIDE] Root for Jelly Bean OTA ***UPDATED***) where you flash a different boot chain, root, then reflash the original. Works perfectly, I flashed CM10 to my GS3 this morning and it works great!

Thus is the only method so far. I'm sure droid style will update his guide soon, but right new this is it.
You can follow his guide for ROMs though

Hello everyone, im new to android. Ive jailbroken all my iphones but cant seem to find a way of just rooting. Im on official ota 4.1.1 ive found tons of instructions on rooting and custom roms but it seems that I need to install/flach a custom rom. I just want to root snd use my stock firmware. Is this possible? If so, how? Thanks

Use this guide and flash the no-wipe version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984436. It is this file:http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390214368362234350. This will flash a pre-rooted version of the JB OTA and keep all your settings, data and apps untouched. You can stay just stock rooted at that point, or you can proceed to unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery if you want to. Or you can use this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046439. It is a little more involved and can be more prone to errors for newer users.
Thank you, thats what im looking for.
