[Q] How to root after updating to 4.0.4 Official

I just did the update to Android 4.0.4 through Kies today. As I've determined I'm not a fan of Touchwhiz, I'd like to root my Skyrocket.
Does anyone know if the root process for 2.3.6 would also work for this version? If not, does anyone know where I could find how to root the device?

Search is your freind. LOL even thou it says for ics leak, it works on the factory stuff as well as GB 2.3.6
here;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1565126

I rooted the stock ICS earlier today via this method, and can confirm that it works.

I used this method on UCLF5 and root explorer routinely has problems mounting system. Not sure why.

You need to make sure u have busybox installed. I know that works for me, for i used to have the same issues. It didnt matter if it was GB or ics. Iam sure others will disagree, but just telling how i fixed that problem on my phone.

I need a little help here, Noobie that I am.....I had rooted sr brought it back to stock and then upgraded it to ics 4.04 stock. Then rooted it again using the methods found in this thread. I got it to take after the third time and it show superuser in the apps section and I can open it. I downloaded pro copy of titanium pro and the free version but it tells me the phone is not rooted:crying: I and that I need to ensure I have busybox. I download that also and i still cannot get titanium to knowledge the root. Any suggestions would be most helpful. I would like to freeze some of the bloatware as I did when I had gingerbread 2.36 and had titanium running.
update: used the newest version of superuser and installed busybox installer and still no go. I downloaded root check and it says not rooted. guess when I get home tonight I will re-root again....

Just use cwr with odin 1.85 use latest superuser 3 05 efghi. You may have to do it at least 3 times until is done

If you have taken the 4.3 OTA, you cannot unlock your bootloader. Any attempt to do so will brick your device. If you have already attempted it this thread will most likely help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2586319

If you already bricked it you can download a debrick file, download the 16 gb pit file or do a factory restore from scratch. I was able to get rooted, and unlocked on 4.3 with my S3 let me take a look back at my files, and I can tell you which ones you need, and how to fix your issues.:good:

This. ^^
I used 1.2 on my VZW GS III with 4.4.2 and it got bricked upon reboot. And from what I've seen it was as soon as the 4.3 update and I believe a recent firmware update, as well. If you have the latest firmware and at least 4.3, don't use EZ-Unlock at all unless you want to go through hoops to possibly (no guarantee) get it working again.

Hmmm, sorry but I'm confused. If you're on cm and you can open recovery I can only think you are still rooted (check this with root checker app) so not sure why you think you need to root. I see you tried to restore, what to? I can only suggest flashing back to a stock rom and then do the rooting process again.

Just to be clear, if your gs3 has the official 4.3 on it, you CANNOT unlock the bootloader. You WILL brick your phone if you try.

I have just received a replacement phone. I have gone about the ways I rooted previously and none of them are working. This did NOT come with 4.3 from the factory, and the 4.3 update is not installed. I reverted back to stock from android recovery, so 4.0.4 is on there right now. But no matter what I do, whether it's the one click method, the GS3 toolkit format, or manually trying to gain root through recovery, nothing works. On the "downloading" screen that you need during use of ODIN, it says "SECURE CHECK FAIL", and it'll either have "boot" after it, or "kernel". Anyone have any ideas? As of this moment I have no working phone. Looking for some help asap. Thank you guys.

Try to Odin flash factory 4.1.2 and see if the secure check turn to "enabled". If it's then try to root again.

I just Odin flashed a stock 4.1.2 ROM actually. It's booting up normally now. It honestly seems like they added a layer of protection on the newly distributed handsets. I will try to go through the normal 1 click method again and see if that works. How would I check if the secure check is still enabled?
Actually, no, it's still 4.0.4 but I'm going to try the same thing just with a different 1 click method.
Looks like the really old way worked. With the ez-unlock and ez-recovery. I had to completely demolish what was there when it was sent to me, though. So anyone who gets a replacement, the best bet is to flash a fresh 4.1.2 ROM or 4.0.4 ROM immediately, boot back up and go from there.

Thanks for answering that!

I was able to get Safestrap installed.

Okay, I've ran this app...downloaded SuperSU and Superuser and still can't do anything root related...IE use titanium backup?
What am I doing wrong? ATT S4 4.4.2

Does this mean I can finally take the Ota updates and stop using mk2???!?
