[Q] Rooting Galaxy s3 4.1.2

I have a small problem. I was running 4.1.1 stock rom(rooted) on my sprint Galaxy s3. This morning I was half asleep and accepted the update to 4.1.2 and lost my root access. I was wondering how i can get my root back?

Sprint pushed 4.1.2...

... and I lost root too. I assumed (I know I shouldn't have) that there would be an xda write up for rooting it already. Hopefully, someone will answer this or a similar thread soon. Good thing it's a weekend! :fingers-crossed:

Just use cf auto root. It worked fine for me. Took like 4mins. As long as you have odin.

Question about updates

Hello everyone, I have a rooted note 2 with basically stock everything, when I download the official update 4.3 comes out, will I lose root? And can I download the update if I have root?
Sent From Note 2 Using Minuum Keyboard

If you didn't disable OTA updates, then it should download automatically. And yes, you will lose root, but it shouldn't be to hard to root again.
Hope this helped

New OTA update? Just got a notice to install.

My wife's n8013 just got a notice to apply an OTA the tablet just downloaded... It's around 192mb, so my guess is it's just apps.
The machine is rooted, stock.. Anyone know if this breaks anything?

OTA may fail or corrupt OS if rooted use Kies and reroot .

Anyone do the update? My Note 10.1 wifi got an OTA notification as well. Currently on stock 4.1.2. Anyone know consists of this update? My choices are, Later/Install All/Install....curious...but not enough to hit the trigger. :laugh:

This is interesting. Anyone knows what Samsung packed into that update? If you've already rooted, i think it's much safer to wait until the update is added to your favorite custom ROM.

That's kinda the issue, she likes the stock ROM. Maybe I'll pull the update file and look into what's in there tomorrow.

No update here yet. Check for update says it is current.

Unfortunately my son thought he was being "helpful" and accepted it.
Minor UI stuff, stuff runs a little smoother, but I haven't seen anything major.
HOWEVER it de-roots you, and none of the usual suspects have worked. I originally rooted using Framaroot, and it does not work. So waiting with baited breath for someone to get around to fixing that problem. :laugh:

I just checked my daughter tab 2 7.0 and its installing 4.2.2 right now.. and apparently thats been out for about a month. I was unaware... kinda stinks that an older tablet has a newer os version

did you try cf autoroot?

Your software has been notified

Hey guys. Just got an LTE version of the Notepro. I went to update it, first thing. It says that my software version has been modified and that updates are not available. Having just unpacked the device. Is this something i should be worried about or just send it back?

I would send it back.

Basically its a german lte version. They all seem to be affected. If samsung does fix this, could the update go through, despite this message?
Checked knox and its stil 0x0. So this is a bug.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

But in the case they fix this could an update go through via Ota or kies, even when it says this.

All my Samsung devices are rooted, and none take the OTA with the same "your device has been modified" error. All are upgradable through Kies without any issue. Just went to KK on my S4 and Note 10.1 (2014) via Kies without any problems at all.

KK is KitKat (4.4.2 for the S4 and Note 10.1). Yes, Kies seems to bypass even the knox counter. *IF* it is confirmed that all the German LTE devices are doing this, I would not worry. If it's just yours, I'd send it back. But if it is all of them, you will always be able to update via Kies and I would suspect the first update would fix this OTA issue.

I have the same problem with mine, Italian Note Pro LTE. After the first OTA the status changed to Modified. I have also tried with ODIN to reflash, but it is still Modified. Obviously the Note Pro has not been modified or rooted in any way.
It seems a common problem.

Hi. If we want to update thorough Kies and we are on custom recovery, should we first flash stock recovery?? Thanks.

Kies doesn't use recovery.

I read in the Singapore hardware zone forums that they too had ths problem with the LTE version. With the latest March (Singapore is one of the first to get it), the problem was fixed. They were able to fix it with an OTA update. So my advice for now is just hang in there untill the update arrives. I for example just returned my unit and waiting for the update.

The problem will persist. Wait for the update to be fixed with an update from Samsung.

Are you completely sure about it? I thought Tab 2 was forever stuck on 4.2.2 which is the latest available firmware over at SamMobile (released on September 2014)

I m sure its not kitkat as they officially said that they will stop support after 4.2.2
Maybe its not tab2 but other tab like tab3 or 4!
