Hello, is there a root method where it doesn't interfere with the bootloader, so you still get official update, but you can run root apps.

Rooting will not prevent at OTA update. This has been addressed, many times.
So you still get updates

how can I check and verify current ROM version on the phone? What is the stock ROM shipped with the phone. Is there a name for it? I've rooted my phone by using ROM Manager app. What I don't understand is under ROM Manager/Check For ROM updates tab, it says "Your ROM is not set up to receive OTA Updates. Please contact the ROM developer!
I'll jump the bridge if i didn't get the Froyo when it's available OTA. Please Help. Thanks.

All of the 2.1 releases from HTC - including ALL of the leak versions - are rootable with theone-click apk (app), and this is far, far easier to use than the method that Huntredge links to (above).
Same goes for the Universal Root For Dummies method (Androidforums.com) - it will even work on cupcake releases, too.

Explain the steps you took in detail please.
Remember that after running the one click root, you need to do a full reboot once, then power off and hold send + power buttons till you get to bootloader, then (i believe, haven't had my eris in a while) you press vol down, then vol up to get to the custom recovery. Then flash the rootme.zip ( i think thats what its called) to be rooted. Then do a nand backup and flash away!
I don't remember all the steps but i used the one click on mine but I have the actual 2.1. I just did all the same steps for his. I'm gonna try it again later

Hello everyone. I have a galaxy s3 i535 on verizon wireless. I am currently rooted and have CWM and a backup of CyanogenMod10 (jellybean). I am currently on stock ICS my phone shipped with. My question is how to i get rid of CWM and my root. I want to be ready for JB OTA. Also, does my bootloader need to be locked when i accept OTA updates?
I want my phone back to just like it came when i took it out of the box.

Root has nothing to do with ota updates, if you update rooted phone it will most likely loose it during the process. What you need is bootloader locked, unlocked bootloader on ota upgrade can brick the device
Do i need to get rid of cwm and my backups first?

I'm pretty sure yes, you do need stock recovery but you can keep your backups, those are just files saved onto the SD card

Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
No you don't need to get rid of it...as i said before the only thing required is locked bootloader, the update will overwrite anything on the sytem partition and eventually will get erased with the update. If you really want to return to stock find the stock .ftf file for your phone and flash it using flashtools or odin similar program..it's all explained in section 6 of the link posted by .xxx. second post of this thread....
Ok i dont want to brick it. So all i need to do is lock ny bootloader the when i get jb ota i wont brick it

I tried to check for an update on custom ROM and got the ur device is modded and can't get updates. As expected but I also get the same message when I restore to stock rooted. Will I need to unroot to receive the update. Never had a problem accepting an update b4. Lost root of course but that's it. Anybody wanna chime in? Thanx in advance.

What I do is Odin back to stock... Data wipe... Flash through Odin a second time... Data wipe again... And you should be able to accept updates again :thumbup::sly:

You can get OTA updates when your phone reports back, in Odin mode, with "Official" for both Samsung and Status
in short you will need to revert to stock ROM and recovery and wipe it 2-3 times like @FLBoy1991 said
Is the KitKat OTA out yet?
I've received a message for a software update. When I attempt to install it using the <About Device_Software Update>, I get a pop-up saying my device has an unauthorized update installed. Use Samsung Kies to install new update.
Anyone else getting this error?

Can we use Kies to install the update with Root or do we have to flash back to Stock first?

You can use Kies to flash, or download the .tar file and flash via Odin...that way you don't lose your app data.
Once you flash the new update via Odin, just re-root using CF-Auto-Root

If you have G900TUVU1ANCH that is the newest available version.
I don't think everyone got this update from G900TUVU1ANCD right away.
Probably just a delayed update to that.
That one should be available through samfirmware.com
Ya I am on that version but I got a ota notice last night but couldn't take it because I am rooted

That's strange
I'm not rooted and says I'm up to date when I check.
Not sure what that would be then. Either that or a glitch in the matrix.
Mine says it's been modified in an unauthorized way, even though it's practically bone stock. The only thing I can think of is I have developers menu unlocked. Any ideas?

I'm not rooted, but I did turn on ART. I changed back to original, still custom status Turned off Dev Mode (even though the application is still there) and still no luck. Restarted multiple times.
What is ART? If I may ask
