Most practical way of Unroot is to install new firmware for your phone.
pls open your phone on download mod and install original stok firmware.

Err does the rooted android can install an original firmware? Or maybe you can redirect me (link if there is a thread about it)

Will the officials OTA ICS update Unroot my Phone?

So the question is in the title. Will the update brick or indoor my phone? If I wanted to install a rooted version does anyone know of a working mirror?
Thanks in advance.

From all the threads in general, it would seem the update does unroot your phone. Also from those threads it would seem flashing a custom recovery and, subsequently, the su zip will give you root back. I don't know of a pre-rooted version out yet.

i just upgraded to ics a little while ago using rom manager, i had to go back to stock 2.3.3 which unrooted my phone but did not lock the phone . I was wondering the same thing and that is how the heck do i root my phone now lol. my phone still shows the unlocked lock on the boot up screen under "Google" but i dont have SU permissions anymore. if I still have su.zip file and cwm can i just use fastboot and flash the img and su.zip ?

What if I don't have my original files to roll back to stock GB? I just downloaded the version Koush put up on his twitter...will that allow me to flash in CWM and update?

Download stock images from from manager then update to 2.3.6 then you can flash the one from koush's twitter.
Root will be lost after update. Currently flashing su.zip wont work. Still trying to figure it out.

We might just have to re*root when they release the info.

Let me ask you also, I'm currently running Alpha13 w/ Francisco.Franco kernel. Is the official that much smoother that I should lose my root?

just asking for my future download. I am currently holding a samsung galaxy I9300 which is rooted. Version ICS 4.04. now i waiting for the official jellybean to be lauch in singapore. Do i still need to root my fone again when the firmware is updated?

I think you must root it again, when you flash a official ROM.

Getting OTA updates after Rooting

Well, this is My 1st post around
I got N8013 that have been rooted with CWM and flashed the rom with 4.1.1 Jellybean , since then I cant get the OTA updates
and the device is lagging wihile typing on S-NOTE app
any Suggest how to recover the tap to original statue to get OTA updates ? that may fix the S-Note problem

You could try 're-flashing' using Odin with the stock firmware downloaded from Samfirmware.
You might have to do a factory reset as well.
There is no OTA update available yet for the N8013

You will not get any OTA bec you have flashed a rom that does not belongs to your region so that wont work
No JB update for 8013 so just stick to what u are on and when the update is out just install that and your ota will start working

I have the update available on a stock 4.0.4 android gt n8013.
Had rooted through exynos without using the patch.
Device status is 'normal'. Can i just do OTA?
Regards,
Deborah

If you have an OTA please go ahead and download and install it

Updating using MM OTA from rooted stock LP ROM

I'm running rooted LP stock with TWRP recovery. My phone downloaded the MM system update. Is it safe to use the automated MM install? I'm not worried about retaining root or custom recovery capabilities.
Thanks

It won't install with the custom recovery. You may as well just install the very latest ROM KDZ with LG UP, and then you'll be all up to date. I believe it's posted in one of the update threads

You will lose root if you use the latest kdz right?

You do lose root and will be completely stock. I haven't read enough of the other threads to know if the latest is actually rootable yet or not.... I've seen conflicting reports. It does appear that you will. hard brick if you try to roll back tho! It's a one way road
