Had terrible data issues on my vzw gs3 and yesterday i finally received my replacement. I updated the jb OTA then rooted it. Backed up my imei ect ect. Flashed paranoid android and my data issues are gone. Just pulled this sitting in my house.

Which root method did you use for the new JB update?

I'm rooted with motoroot v1.1....can I just use the unroot function of the app and then install the ota update?
Thanks

I have motoroot 1.1 also (only needed the entitlement hack) and my OTA worked with it rooted. Kept root too. Since it doesn't mess with the boot loader there wasn't a problem.

Ugh, now I'm getting a completely different story from the General forum. Someone there says you do have to unroot a Motoroot'ed device. Even says I have to use some new applications to do that. I don't see why I wouldnt be able to use Motoroot.
This is really getting confusing. Too many root methods for me to keep track of.
I certainly wouldn't want to steer you in the wrong direction, all I know is that motoroot 1.1 didn't replace the bootloader and that's why I wasn't afraid to take the OTA. The root methods that came after it did, and that's why I didn't install any of them.
Honestly, the Droid MAXX is the first Droid I've had that I didn't feel the desire to ROM... It's perfect the way it is. I had the OG, X, and Bionic prior to this phone and was constantly reflashing them with something new. The entitlement hack was all I needed for the MAXX.

Yep, I felt the same way. I use some apps that require root and I like the mobile hotspot. I don't plan on installing any custom Roms

So, I finally pulled the trigger on the update.
I was rooted with Motoroot v1.1.
I only have the mobile hotspot entitlement hack, and some apps that use root. I didnt make any other changes.
I installed the update without removing root. The update installed just fine. I have confirmed that phone still has root access and mobile hotspot still works.
How do I get rid of motoroot? I got this phone with it still in the system, but not in the drawer. I've done a factory reset and fxz. But when I try to install the app it says that the file already exists and cannot be installed.

I'm not 100% sure. That is a strange situation. It seems like someone tried to return to stock without removing the files first, maybe?
When you used the FXZ method, did you save data or do the clean install?
I did the clean install. I also tried to adb push the apk. But it says it already exists. Strange, I've never seen an app withstand a fxz, then two ota updates. I'm going to attempt the rockmymoto way tomorrow. I can't have an un rooted phone ha ha

I want to update my s3 to the new 4.4 that Verizon just released. I have the message about the new update but every time I try to update the phone gets the triangle and the message. Is there anyway that I can go back to stock with out using a computer?

Verizon has no update for the GS3 to 4.4. The version now is 4.3.

I have seen methods of restoring foxfi on KitKat but none are current. Does anyone have a working fix for foxfi on KitKat? I am rooted with exposed.

There is an Xposed tether module called "X Tether". FoxFI doesn't work under KK from what I remember.
There is also another way to get tethering to work with the built-in tethering app. You can go here to do it -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785106

How did you root via Towelroot if the 907A is not supported?
