Can I update OTA my Stock-rooted S3? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

At this moment I have stock rom, but rooted. Will I be able to get the JB update when it'll come out? Will I lose the root? Will it be a problem?

Yes you can OTA update, yes you will loose root but you shouldn't have any issues. You will be able to re-root in a matter of seconds using CF root or the toolkit.

Once more your OTA update may fail during install on a rooted rom .
Multiple posts report update failed .

If it fails ota you should have no issues with kies. I have had to do this for 2 of the 3 ota updates I have received so far. This will also lose root though.

Rooting Galaxy S III

Hello guys
I just wanted to ask: does rooting my device affect software update by any means?
I mean, for example, will the OTA service be lost? And if not, will the coming update make my device lose its root?
Thank you.
You will Still be able to update through OTA, kies, Odin but when you update you will loose root and have to reroot.

If you root and then change your ROM to a customer one, then you will loose the Samsung OTA Update Support.
Once more .
Root may see OTA update fail to install.

Anything else I need to consider??
Many thx!!

AFAIK OTA after rooting is not possible. Phone has to be 'virgin' stock to have possibility to upgrade by OTA.
Just flash the latest stock Rom, this will update and unroot all in one go.

OTA Updates work even if you root your device. You need to unlock your bootloader aswell to get rid of the
update notifications.
Or just freeze/disable the Update Center app.

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?

Update problem?

I try update through ota but it keep failing does it because I root?
If so if I unroot then update after that how I root it back?

Usually fails because of a modified build.prop. Root doesn't matter.
