So I was a little disappointed to learn that the JB update won't work on a rooted device. I didn;t use Odin to do it - I used a link on Droid Life. It worked fine, but now I would like to un-root it so I can get the update. I've looked around and found a few links - many of which involve downloading files that no longer exist. And I don't think the method I used to root it backed up the original ROM.
Anyone have any idea where to look?

Yes the jb update can be rooted and you can simply use ota root keeper, take the update and be good.

The jb update does work on rooted devices .

There have been many reports of the update working on rooted devices. You can even keep your root using OTA root keeper.
The only thing you'll have to do is have stock recovery flashed and you should be good to go.

I upgraded my 2.2 rooted Cappy to 2.3.5 using Samsung Mini Kies everything worked perfect and now I want to root my phone again, any help with this?
P.D.: I dont want to flash any custom kernels or any custom anything as I saw on another thread, I just want to re-root my phone.
Sorry friend but you're going to have to have to flash a new kernel to allow you to root.

Thanks for your help but I think I'll wait some more before trying this so hopefully someone will find a way to root the way I'm looking for
I agree. The method currently posted is way too complicated
No it isn't you people are just to lazy to read and know what you're doing!

As the sticky at the top of the forum says, do not post questions here in General, post them in Q&A.
I tried Casual for over an hour today. Would always see the phone and load the files fine. But once it rebooted to try to stick root the app would freeze everytime. Finally had to give up and come to work. I did get CWM to install properly though. I was wondering if there were any clockwork mod flashable zips to root me. I don't want to wait til morning to play with this phone. Got it yesterday and haven't had anytime to play with it yet. I know there used to be. Just not sure if any exist for ICS. If I cant do that ill try some other methods in the morning when i get home from work. Thanks for any help or comments

I used the alternative root method that was mentioned at the bottom of the rooting section in the guide. That was easy easier than casual for some reason

My wife's phone received the official Jelly Bean OTA file yesterday and now her phone is totally FUBAR. I've factory reset it 3 times now and each time different things stop working. I'd like to get the official OTA file and re-apply and then factory reset it one more time. Does anyone have the file or a URL to download it?

Thanks but those all look like they have been de-odexed or rooted. I was looking for the "virgin" OTA that comes straight from Verizon. I want to see if that makes the phone work again properly before adding in the variable of rooting it.
They are. You may want to look at section 5 of that guide again. The first download is the official ota

Ok thanks. I think I need my eyes checked too. Anyway, I downloaded it and applied it to my wife's phone. Still having the issues synching the Google contacts on the two accounts we use to store contacts. FWIW, I am wondering if VZW has pulled the update. My SG III was bugging me for since Friday to apply the JB OTA and has finally just stopped. My wife's phone on the other hand is totally non functional even after applying the full wipe version of JB.
I saw this mentioned in passing on another thread and thought it was worth mentioning in its own thread. (Sorry if this has been posted in this forum already but I tried searching and couldn't find it.)
K1mu has developed a safe root method that works on the MK2 baseband. (For those of us who felt too uncomfortable with all the security questions about vroot and kingo.) It's posted on the Verizon S4 forum here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758 but I can confirm that it worked for my AT&T S4 running the MK2 version of 4.3.

Works!
Confirmed working on MK2.
Now that we have a safe method of rooting 4.3 (MK2) we can rest easy and just sit back while waiting for Safestrap to be updated. The added benefit of this root method it allows kernel memory overwrites which may allow us to use custom kernels inside SS for 4.3+. Couple this with the work Surge has been doing over on the Verizon forums to unlock the bootloaders, it's starting to get exciting around here again!
Worked for me. Cool!

K1mu gave me the impression that his method is safe but no different than using Supersu survival mode. I asked if I should
un root to re root for the extra benefit. He said it's root with busy box that's it
I used Supersu survival mode wile on MF3

Now that we have root.. we just need a working recovery -__-
Confirmed working on MK2, had to run twice. First time knox prevented busybox from installing so I disabled Knox once I had root and then ran the script again and it installed busybox perfectly.
Thanks for the awesome work.

Just rooted my phone using this method. I ran the install.bat file with the phone plugged in. when it was searching for phone, I unplugged and confirmed that USB Debugging was on then replugged back in. Process started right away. Ensure that phone is unlocked and you grant permissions to popup. After phone reboot, I uplugged and re-plugged in. Precess resumed and phone was rooted. First thing i did was run SU. It tells you that KNOX is running and may cause conflicts with root. I allowed SU to disable KNOX. Everything working great.
Thank you very much
Worked!
Thanks for this! Worked perfectly!!!
Hi all,
I don't know whether I'm posting my question in the correct forum or not.
My Phone is SCH I-535. Accidentally, I upgraded to 4.3.
I have rooted and downloaded rootchecker from play store and it is rooted successfully.
Basically, I did a big blunder last time, by flashing a wrong ROM altogether. Flashed the International Version ROM and it hard bricked, and it was a mess. I could not use my phone for almost 6 months since, I did not have time to work on this. So now, I got the phone up and running and I did not know that, I should not accept the 4.3 update. So I did accept and now I'm on 4.3 and rooted.
Basically, I have 3 requirements.
1. Get a clean, fast, simple ROM, which has only essential Apps and no bloatware - CAN ANYONE SUGGEST ANY ROM-SCH-I535,4.3,ROOTED
2. Get the HotSpot feature working - I downloaded foxfi, and it is working fine. But if the stock Hotspot feature works, then it will be great. I don't like many Apps in my phone. I feel they make it a bit slow. I want my phone to be as fast as possible.
3. Increase the Brightness of my screen. I read somewhere about the kernel modification or something. I tried to do that last time and I messed it up badly.
So, I did not want to do anything stupid this time and I'm posting here.
I have read different threads and there is a lot of information, and that's how, I was able to root this 4.3 SCH I-535. But I don't want to do anything on my own, with out expert advice. So I'm posting here.
Any help is highly appreciated. Thank You.
1. Lots of great roms available, take a look at all of them and see what looks interesting. Every rom will be experienced differently by everybody, so your best option here is to systematically try them out until you find a good one that runs like you need it to. Remember you need safestrap in order to do this and the rom can only be 4.3 TouchWiz.
2. I think there's a wifi hack somewhere that will remove the Verizon prompt completely. Not sure where to find it though, might not be s3 specific.
3. Increasing the brightness may not be possible. If there is a way, then an xposed module might be able to do it. Take a look at all of them and see if something allows you to modify that.

Foxfi free didn't work on my rooted Verizon s3. Did you use free or paid version.?
