If you've rooted your phone, and installed CWM....just go installed custom JB ROM
If your region doesn't have JB provided yet, you will not get it officially....
That's not purpose of having root on your phone

Flash a stock firmware from sammobile.com using ODIN.
This will also unroot your phone.

If you have the option to update your phone, and I think you have, just click to check your software version, do it over wifi, so I've done to me, you'll have official jb, un rooted.

So..that will earase all data?!! Or it will keep it..apps and all thing
And link plz for the last firmware in egypt..i have found 4.1.1 for egypt on sammobile..but csn't download it..is that one ok?!and link for it plz

I rooted my stock 4.0.4 and then OTA updates wouldn't function at all. I've found that updating through Kies via USB cable overrides this. I couldn't try this with my own phone as I already flashed a stock JB rom, but tried it with my mom's and worked perfectly well.

U have upgrade roored ics to jb via kies with out flash stock one first?"!!

trouble reverting to 4.04

I recently posted a thread asking for help reverting my international gs3 back to its original 4.0.4 state after flash in the super nexus ROM. The reason I want to do this is so that I can get the official 4.1 update from Samsung when it is released. I followed the instructions from the video by totallydubbed but I saw he was flashing from another ICS ROM not jb. When I reset my flash counter it said "Samsung official and under that it was still saying custom, on his phone both said official. When I plugged the phone into the computer it would not recognize the phone, nor did Odin.....is there anything else I can do? Thank you in advanced for any input.
Instal drivers or change USB port or restart pc

I have the drivers installed because I used Odin to root the phone when it was still on 4.0.4. Would it be different drivers since its running 4.1 right now?
Reinstall driver.
Get your phone in downloading mode and try plug it again.
Try with other usb port

Did you do a factory reset after the flash? I do believe that is necessary to clear that status

[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 filmware on rooted phone

is it possible to flash official stock firmware from sammobile directly to a rooted phone with odin and would it work or am i only tied to custom roms cos i just rooted my phone.
if you just rooted your phone then it is stock firmware, rooted
Don't understand the problem :-/
Just flash an official firmware via Odin and root again.
Yes, it will work, but you will need to root it again

Rooting difference from S2 to S3

So my S2 died the other day and I went to buy a i9300. Now I've been searching about S3 rooting and I've found conflicting info on this.
So when I first rooted my old S2 I did it with a temporary CWM that disapeared ofter reboot stayed in stock with stock kernel and kies was able to update my firmwsre without deleting root. I actualy updated from 2.3.5 to ICS via kies without removing root or loosing it after.
I was wondering if the same could be done with the i9300 I want to remain stock for now and don't want to replace stock recovery with CWM. Is there a temporary CWM for S3 so I can push the SU binary to system part without flashing anything over stock?

I did try the search button. The only thing i found was someone talking about the new recovery in S3 only flashing signed packages from samsung or something like that.
Thats why i opened a new thread to see if someone had some new info on it.

CF-AUTO ROOT. Installs only the SuperSU app. Does not install custom recovery. Dunno about updates, though. I think it supports OTA.

Use CF Auto Root from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957273 Download Odin and the CF auto root for your phone all instructions are on this thread
You can still update via Kies as long as everything is kept stock even though its rooted but you wont get any OTA updates that wont work

Thanks. So that method everything stays stock including recovery and o xan still use kies. Will a kies update erase root or will it be like with the s2 where the root sticks after the update?

Yes the update will remove root but after update simply flash root with odin again, only takes a few minutes
