I am currently running the latest stock rom that was shipped with the s3. Not the update that came out yesterday. I am only rooted with no custom recovery or custom kernel. If I accept the update will my phone be Ok with only loosing root. Also if I use ota rootkeeper will it keep my root on the update. Please HELP because even though I had the option to reject the update I feel it might force the UPDATE and don't want to break my phone.

I was planning to flash Jelly but decided that I'm happy with ICS and liam wilng to wait for the OTA update. What's the process for preparing for the OTA update?
The method I used to root the phone was I believe the easy one click root debugfs-root. I used EZ-Unlock to unlock the bootloader. I also installed EZ-Recovery. Thanks.
Flash back to stock before applying any ota from Verizon

Give this a try. I just posted this in the development section. Original OTA updates modified to work on rooted, custom recovery, bootloader unlocked devices with Google Wallet and NFC libraries installed.

(edit) If you don't have the latest SW for the S3 yet you can apply those OTA updates on your rooted, custom recovery, etc. device. When the Jelly Bean OTA comes down I'll be sure to make a rooted, custom recovery-friendly version of that OTA as well.
Ok, I am running a stock rom rooted with no frozen apps. When the OTA tries to install it fails and when I try to use Kies the message " Your device does not support the update of Software via Kies" or something to that effect. I have never unlocked the bootloader, flash roms, or installed custom recovery on the device. Could I possible use OTA rootkeeper to unroot then check to see if the OTA will download and install? If that does work would I be able to restore the root? I don't guess I really need the new OTA but I want to be able to get JB when it comes out without any issues. Just as an added not it is currently running VRALG7...

Same happend to me. I had to unroot downgrade from the HD to G7 or G1. Then i could do the update to HE.
Hello everyone,
I'm a noob to rooting and the whole flashing custom ROMs.
I rooted my Verizon GS3, installed ROM Manager, and flashed CwM Recovery. I then installed a "stock recovery" file in hopes of receiving OTA updates from Verizon w/o losing root. However, after installing the stock recovery, I lost root access.
My question is: can I receive Verizon OTAs on a rooted phone? If so, how? Any help is greatly appreaciated.
BTW, anyone know when JB 4.1 will be pushed to vz customers OTA?

Yes you can receive OTAs on a rooted stock setup, but you want to block these OTAs using something like OTA root keeper and don't install these updates as it will break root, and can cause a bunch of other headaches and problems. If you really want stock wait till a dev roots the latest OTA update then flash that to keep root acess. It will likely be a while probably 2013 at the earliest before Verizon pushes the JB update. If you want JB take a look at a custom ROM such as CM 10.

There is a thread with a ota updater for stock rooted and unlocked users. It lets you stay rooted and unlocked and get the updates. Not sure if it works with a custom recovery flashed though. I think its in the android development thread

Two other possible Options:
Can try this from cj64: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1964502
might be more than you're looking for or not apply since you didn't mention about (un)locked bootloader.

Hi , i have my one s rooted but i have recived one update message of one update.
For this my question is , How to update after root?
I´m trying install but every time i can do it , the phone goes to teamwin recovery.
Help me.
I can tell you my experience with TMO US 2.35.531.12 minor update. First, I needed to flash stock recovery. It didn't work with a custom recovery (mine was TWRP). Then I needed to revert HBOOT state back to "relocked." Then for this particular update I was required to unroot.
Not sure if these apply to you but apparently these are pretty common processes you may need to go through for an OTA update for HTC devices, even with stock firmware. For the 2.35.531.10 update I didn't have to unroot.
Must have to relock. Im rooted. Stock recovey. Ota wont complete. Unrooted, still wont complete.

Hey everyone.
I am using this phone for about a year now. When i originally got it in october of last year (HW version g900p.04), I was able to use towelroot with no issue. Since then I have installed a total of 1 OTA update, and immediately reran towelroot, which still worked.
I am currently at android 4.4.2, NE5.
I would love to just get a stock rom that still has root, but I haven't found much. I found an odin-flashable ROM of the latest OTA update, but it isn't rooted. Apparently you can install towelroot and that will root it for you.
Can I just install the latest OTA updates, and then use towelroot to reroot? Or would I need to odin flash recovery too?
Any help would be appreciated.
Just tried it on latest OTA and no go
