I'm thinking of flashing this through recovery, doesn't remove root does it?

take it this is the same as the last one where you'd need to have stock recovery to install the update even if S-off? And even then you might temp lose your root access or no?

Wait for the developers to pick through it before doing ANYTHING. There is no reason to flash until its fully vetted. Relax have a beer or chocolate milk....patience...don't give in to the inner urge to upgrade just cause there is an upgrade....
Looking through the firmware.zip...I see all sorts of new stuff....possibly a new radio too?

this is the 1st rom i use..
The flashing instructions are on the first page of the thread you linked to. If you need more detailed instructions that those (which are brief but absolutely clear/to the point), I'd question whether you should be flashing that rom at all (and probably any other custom rom).
i just don't know whether i need to root it to firmware XXLSJ or not..or i just can straight go to download mode and flash the .zip file from the page that I linked?
Right. I want you to copy & paste the first line after the heading Install Instructions from that thread in your next post.
My suggestion that you leave your phone stock & don't mess with it stands. Lest you end up like the person in my sig (I.E with a busted phone).
This is ridiculous It's getting worse each day here^^

I can't remember how many times i had bricked my so strong GT-I9100
Hi! First off, i'm sorry if this is the wrong sub i don't know where to post this.
My problem is that i'm new on flashing and i want to flash my phone but i am very confused at the moment. I've been researching what custom rom i should use and i from what i gathered is that i have to flash the original stock android first then flash the custom rom? This is what my phone settings looks like at the moment

. I'm running ICS and i want to update to Jellybean. Also, when i was researching i discovered something called cwm 6x and i don't know what's it for. I Dl'ed is as well just in case but now i'm stuck. I would like to learn from you guys on how to do it because i don't want to take a risk on bricking the phone cause i don't have any knowledge on flashing. Also, sorry for asking this question. This has probably asked before but the search engine for some reason is not working for me.
Edit: Also, i dl'ed the stock versions of this phone. It's the 4.1.2 version update. The custom rom i was planning to put on is this rom called EROM-E160K.[eRuiZhi.com].[Sdhjt.ORG].[J2] i dl'ed it from a thread here in xda.
Why am I not seeing a software update check in about phone? My wife has it, the only difference is I am rooted, is that why?
I am on verizon.

hi if you are rooted with a custom recovery,you cannot receive updates from lg as it would mess your phone up, i actually thought that if you were just rooted with stock recovery and stock rom you could get and install updates but maybe verizon is different as they seem to be in a lot of respects

Thanks so going back to stock might be my only option lol.
Every time I go to root my phone with the single click whether I use v1 or v2 my phone reboots and does not root. Any suggestions as what to do
Go to the thread and get support there
Probably faster

I had a similar issue... I had an ota update when I checked... It put me on the following software / kernel

After that update, towel root worked for me.
I am simply the messenger. I do not guarantee this will work always. Any modifications you do to your phone is your own risk. Many people have reported it works. Your setup may be slightly different than others. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but once you decide you want to try it, you accept the chance that your phone could end up a paperweight. I'm not saying it's your fault, but I am saying that you are testing possible dangerous waters by trying things that aren't approved by sprint. It's a gamble that all of us have to decide if it's worth it. I don't promise anything, i'm simply offering more information.
I need help with my Verizion Galaxy S4, I rooted it once and I think I used Odin but an update made me lose it.
Anyways when I boot I get this

}
And when I load up recovery I get this
Is it safe to flash a different rom on it?
Let me know if you need more info
Thanks for looken

You're almost there. You need to install busybox and safestrap 3.72 or 3.75. Then look for roms that are safestrap compatible and flash away. Make sure you read the OPs before flashing. Some roms require extra files to flash.
Awesome thanks man I'll look into it
