So I successfully un rooted my phone but have some issues. 1is that when the phone boots it says unlocked with the little padlock. The other is su icon won't go away from the app draw. I uninstalled it but when I do it shows up in the market as needs update. How can I get rid of these two little issues?

How exactly did you unroot? Are you sure it worked? Do you have the stock recovery or cwm or twrp? If your on stock recovery then try this:
Update superuser and update the binary after its done. then Download ez-unlock to lock the bootloader(im assuming your still rooted). Next download supersu, uninstall superuser and follow the directions to full unroot in supersu's settings.
Or just save/back up all your stuff to a pc or sd card and flash a stock factory image in odin that takes care of everything

I unrooted using Odin rt 66. I'm not rooted at all. Factory recovery and locked bootloader (locked it before I unrooted)

Well after a couple ota's the pad lack is gone. Still can't get the damn su out of the app draw though. Any ideas?

Nevermind the pad lock with custom underneath it is still there. How do i get rid of this ? I also noticed in Odin mode custom binary says custom? I downloaded root checker just to make sure I'm not still rooted and it says I'm not.

That is cause can't unroot with Route 66. It injects root when you Odin. Need to Odin untouched MB1 from SamMobile or K3 from OpenYourEyes and then OTA MB1. Or try the SuperSu unroot.

Do you have a custom recovery installed? That will stop it from installing because it has to use stock recovery

That's weird then. You can boot into recovery and click the update.zip and see if it'll work from there

So I just got some type of OTA update from Verizon, I have an unlocked bootloader as well as rooted. Can I install this update or will it brick? The file is under /cache/fota/update.zip 30.92mb. I thought if you was rooted you couldn't even get OTA's. Any ideas? I renamed the file so it wouldn't update even though it asked me when to install and I entered 10pm tonight to retry.

It's a pretty major security patch so hopefully someone here puts it in a package for flashing. Someone else said they just unlocked again immediately after but I'm not sure how to best approach it for you.

Rooting doesn't do anything about receiving updates, it's a particular file that is phoning home.

Do you have a rom? If not people are saying they installed update and rooted device again.
I just got it this morning as well.... I'm stock rooted and I don't want the update. Do I have to accept it? Do I need to un-root? What will happen to my Google Wallet & Google Now?
I'd like to know also, I am stock rooted, unlocked and don't know if I should accept the update or not??
I got the same update but it flashed itself into recovery and then failed to install the update. Says "install aborted"

You are right, I clicked "OK", it rebooted and went into CWM. I clicked "reboot now", when the phone finished booting I got an error message. Hopefully it won't continue doing this.
No I'm on a stock rooted ROM, it tried to install just now and failed as well.

This is because you all most likely have a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM and it can only install on stock recovery. If you freeze sdm1.0 it wont keep asking you to update

I've heard that to be safe, you need to re-lock the boot loader, un-root, and go back to stock in order to accept the updates.
There is a guide to do that here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867253

You are okay to be rooted and do a update. I do it all the time, it just unroots you and you have to rerun ur rooting. As for the bootloader i lock it before a update

If you use version 1.2 there isn't any issues. The 1.4 in the market of the one with issues. There's a thread somewhere in here that you can download the older versions that work correctly still
Tap'n
Just find ez-unlock in the play store and click on the link in the description. It will take you to the app's website,which has links for all versions.

I recently accepted the MF1 OTA update without unrooting. I'm a noob so really didn't think about it until it was too late. The update installed via TWRP and I lost root, custom recovery and bootloader is locked yet again. Just wondering if I could flash back to MB1 using Odin in download mode or are there any precautionary steps I need to take before trying to flash back? Or will it even work?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Never heard of MF1 when did you get that update.
You can always try to odin back. Hopefully whatever mf1 is didn't break the root process and it causes a brick.

Maybe i was thinking use EZrecovery to restore stock recovery. and use OTA rootkeeper from VooDoo. then just use EZrecovery to flash CWM again. the only thing i am worried about is the bootloader locking again.
I received the update early this morning. I had MD3 stock rooted but flashed back to MB1. Kept checking for software updates again for a couple of days and it kept saying none available until this morning. So I accepted it without thinking. . Here is a screenshot of the update. ..
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
So I guess what I'm really trying to say is it safe to flash back to MB1 via odin with the bootloader being locked and having no root?

I might would wait until you give one of the developers or senior members chance to look at it. You should be fine but you never know when they have put in a new patch.

Coming from rooted MD1
I temporarily unrooted the phone using voodoo ota rootkeeper
Restored stock recovery using ezrecovery for gs3
Proceeded to update via ota.. update begins, but fails (android down with triangle and exclamation point)
suggestions?

It should print off an error log in /cache (I think) which tells you why it failed. I believe that it auto fails if you have a modified SystemUI, have Google Wallet installed, removed system apps, things of that nature.

No problem! If you do want to take the OTA, you can Odin flash VRBMB1 and have it update from there. Alternatively, Scrosler posted the rooted VRBMF1 rom in the dev section.

Hey guys, I have a problem
I am somewhat experienced in hacking my phone, I was a previous Droid 1, and Droid Bionic owner. I just rooted my S3 today, I downloaded ROM Manager, flashed the CWM Recovery, rebooted and I get this message that says "Secure Fail: Kernel" at the top, and "System software not authorized by VZW has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest store for help." I'm not really sure what to do at this point, any help would be appreciated.

What 4g screen? What root method did you use?
You need to odin back to stock, then root your phone again. The newer methods don't always successfully unlock your Bootloader, so you may have to do it manually.
Download ez unlock version 1.2 from a website, then open it and verify it says unlocked. If it says unknown or locked, then hit the unlock button.
Then flash your recovery just like you did before and everything will work properly.

Yes, but if you're on 4.0.4 you might want to take the ota then root.
Or you can use the rootdebug method, it's an old rooting method but will work if you're on ics.

Either way is fine, but I'd most likely take an ota update then use beans casual method.
Rom choice is all personal preference, read all the threads and look for the features you'd want. Most of the roms are very good.

thanks a lot!! now i'm running MOAR, pretty decent.
So the situation is that I used towelroot to obtain root, installed SuperSU and then used TWRP Manager to install TWRP.
I found I really didn't use root as much as I thought I would and I would just like to go back to stock.
I see that I can unroot from within SuperSU, but I can't find a way to get the stock recovery back. I tried Flashify and Rashr with the stock recovery and it doesn't seem to take. I end up with the green android on its side with the red triangle. I can't flash it through fastboot because my bootloader is locked.
Is there a way to get back to stock recovery without losing my data? That's the reason I used towelroot in the first place.
Thanks!

Oh wow easy enough answer. I was googling with that and the responses said that it meant that I had no recovery anymore. Didn't want to risk it.
Chalk that up to PEBKAC!
