[Q] Returned to Verizon stock and did JB update - did I lose root? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I went back to stock (nandroid) on my Verizon S3 and did the JB update but ROM Manager doesn't work and I can't flash Clockwordmod. I am not very knowledgeable on this. Did I lose root? It still seems unlocked. Do I need to re-root? Are instructions to do this under the new JB update somewhere?
Thanks for your help!

Yes

Anytime you flash to stock, you will lose root. You will need to root before you do anything else. You can either flash clockwork mod through odin and then root the sd zip file, or you can follow the root method with your PC through your USB.

I actually did the steps on that page before I posted here but I kept getting a failure message in ODIN. Maybe it has something to do with Windows 8? Also very possible I'm not doing something right. I'll have to keep working on it I guess.
Thanks for the info though!

Thanks Silver, perhaps I was not being complete in my question? I know that there are both, but my question was specifically related to rooting. In his post " *Put the Superuser .zip file on your internal SD" from these instructions" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311194".
I think it means that you put the. Zip file on the phones internal memory & NOT the removable SD card?
Yes you are correct sir
Thanks SILVER.... it just seemed a little ambiguous, and for a noob, that could be dangerous. ...you were "thanked" .
Uhm, on Melvin's post of Oct 19th...he says to put the Superuser zip on the INTERNAL SD....BUT on Copperhed's post of Nov 10th....he says to put the Superuser file on the EXTERNAL SD? I would imagine that there is something important about where it is located on the phone?
I was pretty sure that I was not losing my mind, I just had to find where I saw the discrepancy

The GS2 doesn't support booting recoveries via fastboot, so the only way to root (short of using a rooting tool) is to install a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM via Odin, and then root the system from within the recovery. You can restore the stock recovery if you want, but I don't know of any other clean methods to root.
Also, you are aware that there is an official (Samsung provided) Jelly Bean ROM for the GS2, right? While that doesn't get you "up to date", it at least gets you on a 4.x stream, which will dramatically improve app support on the Play Store.

There may be a way to install a pre-rooted image from Odin, but most folks do it from a recovery. Fortunately, if you can figure out how to just install the recovery, it will be able to root whatever you have installed, and is a heck of a lot safer than messing with the OS image. Unfortunately, how that happens depends on the recovery, but in most cases it will over you the option to fix the su binary when you reboot.
I won't repeat the steps here, as there are several guides for installing recoveries via ODIN. I will point you to the TWRP repository, however -> https://dl.twrp.me/skyrocket/
So let me get this straight, if I flash a normal stock Rom from a recovery it will automatically root it? What is a recovery? Is that the same thing as download mode? I'll try to find a thread, but of course if u could post a the ad link I would appreciate it.

Update will remove root and will fail if you have CWM installed, it requires stock recovery to apply (this is of course if you go the official update route).
Return to stock recovery
So how do I return to stock recovery from cwm? I'm not so concerned about this update, but I'd like to use stock ics when it comes out. ( keeping root, of course)

If you get familiar with ODIN (and heed the same warning I posted above) all you end up having to do is flash CWM recovery and then install superuser via an update zip file. You may have to flash it "2 - 3 times to get it to complete without error" I am not sure why it does that but I followed the instructions around here somewhere.
Many thanks to you guys! I had the same question.

First most important, you need to make a NVflash backup of your bootloader, BEFORE PROCEED to upgrade. This is very important, once you upgrade you will not able to do so.

Let do one step at a time. NVflash is very very critical, once you upgrade you will not able to do this. NVflash backup help you to recover from a soft brick situation. After you done with NVflash, here is how to manual upgrade to JB.
1) Download the .30 verion firmware from Asus site (make sure if you in US, you should download the US version of .30)
http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=ASUS+Transformer+Pad+Infinity+TF700T&p=20&s=16
2) Extract the .zip file somehwere on your desktop (the result will be another .zip file,use it for step 3)
3) Rename the extracted file to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.ZIP and copy it to the ROOT of a MicroSD card or INTERNAL SD card.
4) Use this button combination to get to stock recovery mode
Turn off tablet. Pressing Volume Down and POWER button together until you see white text message appeared on the screen, now release both buttons. Now press Volume UP button (before the 5 seconds expire).At this point the device will go in recovery and should start updating your firmware .
Once done, I will go into how to root.

1. Yes, if you DON'T want to UNLOCK to root your device. Once you're on .30, you root then use OTA root keeper to save root then upgrade to JB.
2. If you went straight to JB, then you need to unlock in order to root. This will be more complicate, since you need to install custom recovery, fastboot and SDK.

Most of bricking caused by operators' errors, like using the wrong recovery, wrong bootloader/wrong version for the rom etc.., but if you careful, by doing search and ask first then it's pretty safe to flash custom rom.

None at all. Let assumed you did the nvflash (backup your .26 bootloader). The simple process would be, download full .30 rom from Asus site, place on root of your external micro SD card or internal SDcard, boot into stock recovery and flash it. Next root your device, then download OTA root keeper to save your root. Let OTA upgrade your device, if OTA is not working, then manually upgrade to JB. Once on JB, use OTA root keeper to restore root. That's it.

Well, if you plan to run custom rom, you need to unlock and custom roms come pre-rooted, so you don't have to worry about losing root.

On your PC you need the following:
1. Android SDK (should comes with ADB and fastboot commands).
2. USB driver for your device.
You are going to use fastboot command to install custom recovery, or you could download Goomanager from Googleplay and install TWRP this way. Once you have TWRP/CWR, you boot into custom recovery mode (hold down volume down and power button), then find the custom rom then flash it, pretty straight forward.

[Q][Solved] NE5 Update with Philz Recovery and SuperSU? (Not Towelroot)

So I saw here that the NE5 update was out, and I want to install it. However, obviously I can't do an OTA update due to it being a "modified device." I am running Philz Recovery and root from flashing SuperSU.zip.
Is there any way to update manually, without losing root (permanently), recovery, or wiping all my data? I know that I could always restore the stock recovery and firmware via ODIN, but that would get rid of everything, including my data.
(Side question: What exactly does the NE5 update add? I know it's another build of 4.4.2 but what features?)
Thanks.
SOLVED: Just went the long route with wiping and installing the updated NE5 firmware via ODIN. Flashed Philz recovery and SuperSU.
Admins/Mods feel free to delete.

The NE5 file is already deodexed and rooted. Therefore, you don't lose root. You get Wi-Fi calling feature with this updated. And, I believe it's an update to the modem.

6.0.1 ota with stock rooted 6.0

My v10 downloaded an OTA , which im assuming is 6.0
1. Im rooted on stock 6.0 and unlocked boot loader. Will the OTA work without messing up anything ? Ill have to root again im sure, just want some info before i pull the trigger.
I don't think the update will even proceed being that you're on a rooted ROM. I have that notification too, and i just don't know how to turn it off.
I to am rooted,unlockboot and stock rom. I don't feel like taking a chance. So I used titanium backup to freeze the software update and in the drop down notification if you press it, it's a notification from Google play services if you block it in apps it will disappear from your drop down. I also deleted the update zip in the cache folder.I used es file explorer ,device/cache/update

Why can't you flash the phone that is already rooted and has TWRP?
All you are doing is opening the LGUP tool and flashing the new H90120j .kdz file using the "refurbish" option then flashing the H90120j .tot file that has TWRP using the "update" option which will flash the phone regardless of what is running on your phone. The guides on the first link explain that. I believe your concern is keeping all of your settings and apps. Look up Titanium backup, it works for me.
Thank you. I only flash the LGH901AT-01-V20j-310-260-JUL-12-2016-ARB02+0ROOTTWRP tot file and all is good.
Well except that I lost Dolby audio.
I will look for a fix.

There's a guide in general that tells how to do all this. In fact jun19inf WROTE it.
In a nutshell, do a twrp backup.
Upgrade to 20j by flashing the stock 20j kbz.
Enable usb debugging and oem unlock
flash tot that has twrp in it.
Now you can go into twrp and 1) root via supersu 2) restore ONLY data from your twrp backup taken previously to get your apps etc back. Alternatively Titanium Backup will also do just fine.

If all is you have is root, you should be able to unroot in the SuperSU settings, and then let the update install. But if you have TWRP, then I can't see any way to do the update without using a PC to flash your phone back to stock ROM and recovery. Although you may check the dev. section to see if Eliminator has a flashable ROM to bring you up to date.

Hi all. I just got my factory warranty back and I attempted to root it. Everything went as it should, until just after the install finished. Instead of rebooting normally, it now will only reboot into TWRP. Once there, when I try to flash a custom ROM (in this case, Bliss, but I don't think it matters, I get an error message that says the zip file is corrupt. Then, while still in recovery, when I tried to wipe everything except the sd card, it says mkfs.fat process ended with error. I then powered down and attempted the factory reset. I scrolled down on both screens and it did not say anything about any errors, so I assumed it took. However, it reboots right back into TWRP recovery. It also boots right to TWRP recovery when I try to boot normally. Of course, adb does not recognize the phone in any mode that I can get into (fastboot/recovery/download), so, I can't use LG Bridge to reflash the original firmware. Does anybody have any ideas for a fix? I know that this replacement phone had 6.0 on it. I thought I did everything to a t? TIA...
OK, not sure how I got there, but when I attempt to reboot from TWRP it says No OS Installed! Are you sure you want to reboot? That at least says what the problem is. Does anybody know how to fix this?
Where can I download the update file?

Hi all. I just got my factory warranty back and I attempted to root it. Everything went as it should, until just after the install finished. Instead of rebooting normally, it now will only reboot into TWRP. Once there, when I try to flash a custom ROM (in this case, Bliss, but I don't think it matters, I get an error message that says the zip file is corrupt. Then, while still in recovery, when I tried to wipe everything except the sd card, it says mkfs.fat process ended with error. I then powered down and attempted the factory reset.

Did you select refurbish or upgrade?
I believe you need to select upgrade when flashing or you get stuck in TWRP

How to root V10 T-mobile M.M ver V20L
How to root V10 T-mobile M.M ver V20L
Can some one guide me on the following:
1. Can I flash back and downgrade to Software version V20J from V20L.
2. Is there any root method for V10 t-mobile MM ver V20L.
1. It is well explained in this forum, you CANNOT go back without facing a software brick.
2. You can root your phone through Dirty_Cow method or by flash Eliminater74 ROM (Part1 & Part2).
Again, search for that in this section and in development one...
