Can I use official udates through kies after root and with CWM - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
Seen plenty of threads about updates with kies after rooting, but what about after installing Clockwork mod recovery (still got original rom). Can I use the update process on the phone found in options and the process when connected to a pc and using samsung kies. and if not how to I get the original one back?
Thanks in advance.
Peter.

Yes, as long as you keep a stock rom for your phone region

You will lose root when you accept OTA updates or update via KIES.

I'm gonna flash JetMod (custom rom) on my S Advance.. now I've got a doubt.. Will KIES and KIES Air work -- or does this 2 only work with the Stock ROM..?

Will i receive the Updates via ota after rooting ?
tnx you all
Someone who want to help me?

If all you have done is rooting (no cwm or custom rom or kernel), then yes you can use kies and ota update. There is a high possibility that you will lose root after the update though.

I'be installed only cwm. So there's not a chance i can use kies until i reverse the root?
Thank you in advance for your help!
You can use kies for syncing, etc but not for updates. You need to be completely stock for that.

Once the update comes out it'll be on www.sammobile.com. All you'd have to do is flash through Odin

Question about firmware

I have a question. If i update my s3 via OTA, does it mean i'm updating to a stock rom? Will it affect my rooting or whatsoever? And can i downgrade if i want to?

Yes and yes. But you can easyly reroot with CF-Root. Or you can flash the firmware with mobile odin pro then your root is untouched. Yes you can flash other firmware to downgrade.
Firmwares can be downloaded at sammobile.com or checkfus
If you update via OTA firmware stocks of your s3 , you will receive an update of your firmware stock samsung, updates are no wipe , you can make a downgrade with ODIN ....
I have another question. I'm enroute to flashing the omega rom on my phone. If the official jellybean comes out, what do i do? Install via KIES? My phone will still be in the rooted stage right?

As soon as official jellybean drops there will be a custom ROM out within hours, and the firmware will be available at samfirmware.com as soon as it is released.
You'll have loads of options.
The custom ones will be pre-rooted, the stock one from samfirmware can be rooted with cf-root. (The leaked one can so I presume official one will too)

That isnt the problem heh. I always backup my data before flashing.
By the way, my version of triangle away, I cannot see the flash status when i load up the app. I have to go into download mode to view my flash counter. Any ideas?

[Q] rooted S3 can't update official JB

I rooted my Galaxy S3 the other day with the intention of installing one of the JB rom's out there. I thought as my S3 was not locked that the official JB update would be a little way off yet. Yesterday I find the official JB being pushed to my phone. It went through the update process and then said it could not update because my phone had been modified. I checked the rom version and it is now 4.1.1 so it seems to have actually updated everything apart from the interface which is still ICS.
Is there a way to get around this? If I do a factory reset will that wipe the root? Or can I do something to hide the root from the update?
All advice much appreciated.

Thanks for that. didn't realise the interfaces were the same. Was expecting a bit of a facelift but then I guess it's what's under the hood that counts.
It did say it couldn't update the software because the phone was modified so I am wondering what, if anything I am missing.
One thing I did notice pretty much straight away was the battery seems to be running down quicker. Could be my imagination of course but I will test it over the next few days to be certain.
flash any stock Rom and change csc

Rooting will not stop you from updating OTA through KIES. It wont update through direct OTA.
Update via Kies or download the DLJ4 and flash with odin.You will have the same result

[Q] Official ROM update - info

Hello everybody,
my gt-i9100 will receive (short-run hopefully) the update to jelly bean but i have a couple of questions to avoid trouble.
At this time i have ics 4.0.3 official with root and modified recovery (not CWM). I have some root apps installed as "system app" like Android Lost, xposed framework and xposed tweakbox. I know the update will erase all my data (full update not value pack) but there will be problems installing this update with these root apps pre isntalled?
Thanks to all :cyclops:
It should cause any problems as the rom will erase all user apps and root.
What method are you planning to use to upgrade.
Kies or doing yourself through Odin.
As a precaution you could do a factoery reset before connecting to kies or flashing with odin. That way there will be no problems with stray aps.
i think i will use kies.
so i will not have issues having a custom recovery?
after upadte i must root again the device, right? if yes wich root use?

If I remember correctly, a few months ago there was a small update, it goes well but I had to root again the device, so how should I proceed to upgrade now?

You also can't install Stock ROMs with stock recovery, neither with CWM...
You'll need Odin.
Mobile ODIN is the only choice...
Also were you referring to stock ICS or Custom ROMs???
If its custom ROMs then you can directly flash using CWM...
But If stock one then you need Odin....else use kies to update..
Press thanx if i Helped..:good:
