OK so I restored a stock backup I had to see if i would get OTA jb update. And I noticed it was trying to download. My question is...will it let me download and install? And if so will I lose root? If i do lose root can I re-root? Thanks for any help.
idk how I got here...

You need to make sure you flashed a completely stock image and then the OTA update will come. The stock ROM is not rooted, but yes you can re-root. There is a thread in the NS4G section where a dev is already working on the stock rooted ROM. check it out

hello, i just bought a new TF700T and wanted to root it.
From what i've read you need to downgrade since the old root method does not work on JB.
I wanted to ask what the progress on the JB root method is?
I tried flashing superUser using CWM but get installation aborted (device is un locked)
hints are welcome
thanks

flashing su .zip should be good. I don't think there is anyone working on rooting stock jb since there are workarounds.

Have you thought about flashing a rooted ROM? CleanROM ULE is based on stock JB and is already rooted. It's extremely stripped down version from what Asus provides.

I'm not sure about flashing a rooted rom directly
either try the link i posted earlier or try flashing su from here http://androidsu.com/superuser/.
i assume you have the latest jb compatible recovery installed?
scrossler has a stock rooted rom posted in dev. just download and flash in recovery if you want to try that.
I am trying to get to kitkat on this damn phone and it just keeps bricking.
Does anyone know if i need to go through all the updates to get this to work?
maybe if you have a step by step that would be amazing.
Thank you
I assume you have a custom recovery installed, just make sure your recovery manager is up to date as some older versions of CWM will not flash 4.4 and same with TWRP. I used CWM touch v6.0.4.3.

There must be an order in which you have to apply updates.
Anyone have any clue on what that order is?

There is no such order. As long as your bootloader is unlocked and you are running an updated recovery you should be able to flash seamlessly between any ROM.
What 4.0.4 ROM are you currently running? And are you sure you're on the most recent CWM?
I think your firmware must be up to date as well. I can't remember what the latest is off the top of my head. I'll check.

VRBMF1 is the firmware you should be on.
Check that in the "about phone" section.

Thanks a bunch for posting this. I've been looking for the download file for this update so that I can have it on my computer in case I run into an issue with my phone and should happen to need it in the future. It did not brick my phone at all and I really don't care about having an unlocked bootloader. That's just not a big deal to me.

Thanks for sharing the link.......
It is helpful to me to get it download on my Computer.

Can you provide more information? I don't think anyone else has reported that and it has been deemed to successfully apply 4.3 to the S3. Did you flash through Odin?
yes with the file above

Out of curiosity what happened that made you think it was 4.1.2?
My fault was the lock screen , I quit the lock screen and the update is succesful

Any luck for unlocking the bootloader? I'd love to get my CM love back! My sister updated the phone for me, she thought she was doing me a favor. I was playing around with stock at the time cuz I could always restore from Nandroid backup before.
Ok so after I flashed this on my bricked phone I'm back up and running 4.3 and happy,. But when I put the phone into download modeECUREBOOT i get this, is this normal?
ODIN MODE
PRODCUCT NAME: SCH-I535
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Offical
SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
Warranty bit: 1
BOOTLOADER AP SWREV: 1
Other then custom system status becaused im rooted is everything else normal?
Yes that looks good. One thing im wondering is why some people are getting there warranty bit flaged. Mine still says 0 even after I tried to downgrade, fix with Verizon tool, root then flash this Odin file twice rooting both times.
Is this possible yet? I'm running CWM. Can I just drop the zip in my sd and flash as usual?
Thanks.

Awesome, thanks for the reply.
Hello everyone,
I've been using CyanPop (Marshmallow 6.0) for the last week, and while it's an awesome ROM with no major flaws whatsoever I'd like to downgrade to Lollipop.
Is there some guide on how to do it? I've searched here, on Google and on Reddit but all the results are about downgrading from Lollipop to KitKat, and I don't know if it's safe to do the same things.
Thanks in advance!
I did it yesterday ,wiped everything using twrp copied 5.1 ROM using PC and installed it
Is it that easy? I was expecting something like that guide in the General forum where you need some Windows tools and so.
Well, I won't complain. Thanks!
Downgrading is only a concern when you downgrade stock firmware, not a custom ROM.
With custom ROM's you simply factory reset in recovery and flash the ROM.
