Updating rooted/kerneled - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Aint sure if this question is already answered, I searched but didnt find it immeaditly, so i thought it was better to make a topic, So i could also ask a few questions more,
So i have a S3 international for a while now,
And i was thinking to leave the stock rom alone, But rooting, Doing clockwork recovery and a new kernel on it, I am think to get Perseus.
So the question is, if i do this, will all my apps be gone from my Phone and will it be cleaned up?
Also i wanted to ask if i do this, and theres a update from Samsung, How do i update it? Just click on it? will anything be erases/bricked?
Also i seen that the Toolkit (for root and recovery etc) is for 4.1.2, but i recently had a update XEMC2, but the kernel name is still the same, Is it safe to use this toolkit?
Thanks for reading this post,
Best regards,
DrLuigi.

So if i understand you,
It will be cleaned up, all apps will be gone?
And i will only be able to update with KIES, and not the one installed on the phone updater?
and it isnt safe to use the toolkit due it doesnt have EMC2?
i think it might be safe due wll, Its still the same kernel etc, I heard the only change they made was some bugs?

I never updated with KIES, is that like, getting your S3 in Download mode or something?
Due i have like no idea why the stock downloader wouldnt work,
When you update, Is the ROOT and kernel gone or? I think the kernel, due it probably will force the samsung one inside,

Well i am starting to think to wait till our final update, probably andriod Keylime,
And then ROOT and kernel it,
Since i have like no idea how you should update it, I only hear you should do it with KIES , other says it doesnt work with kies etc etc..
I would like to, but all the confosion
Btw do all kernels and andriod versions support the triangle away? or example Persues kernel cant?

Well probably we will still get Keylime after Jellyban 4.2.1, Since well, Samsung would be crazy if they would let down the Note 2 and S3 users,
Wich are like millions.
It would be actualy good for there name if they satisfy there customers, and get them a even better name when talking about updating there devices,
Well thats my opinion atleast.
I dont think they would let 40 (it was 40 million right? ) million users down on updates.

please I need your help..

hello guys..^_^
how are you.. I hope all things are good with you ^_^
actually I have a problem with my GS2
first thing I want to tell that I had decided to change my rom from odex to deodex one..
I had looking for a good one amd I found that Gangsbread is the best..but it doesn't work with my rom which is JPKF2 so that I had to change it to XXKH3 " a raw rom".. so I downloaded it and tried to flash it on my phone but it didn't work..
and I tried to switch my GS2 on but it doesn't work
I've downloaded the JPKF3 raw rom and tried to flash it.. and this what happened to me every time I tried to did it "the pics is within the attached files"~_~
I did with a different roms wuth a count of 33 but it doesn't success.. *_*
and now I have a message on my GS2 screen saying that..“Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies & try again”
please can I do anything to fix it ?
thanks for your time
You've put kernel on bootloader option?
You were supposed to download a .tar file, select it on PDA and flash, no re-partition

Hmm Asad I think the files you initially used may right royally screwed your phone. They look like they were SGS1 phone files. If they were then I think your phone will require JTAG repair.
Let's hope there are more people with better knowledge can help you.

I think you can forget about the Deodexed Rom for now. You need to get back to stock. Looking at the pics you submitted. You may end up having to go Service Centre and have it Repaired. Be prepared to pay for the repair as well.

Root is not needed kernel is part of the firmware .
Flash a stock Samsung rom from Stock rom thread or from posted ICS roms in General via Odin .
Alternative wait for your phones upgrade via KIES or use Checkfus to download firmware .
Root is only required if you are flashing a custom firmware that requires CWM and Root and most do .
jje
After installing kies ,,, a frimware update show up ,,
now i think its better to update the frimeware throw kies right ??
and is it possible to install ics with kies ??? or i need to flash costume kernel with CWM recovery !!
thanks in advance
ok
personally I would look at Chainfire topic on easy rooting etc, or you could use SuperOneClickRoot & then install any number of custom roms from the I9100 android development section here at XDA

Ask your "mum" or your "little sister" to do it for you.
But they must remember how to unlock "your" phone.

Lost in virtual world

Hello world.
I am searching here but I fail a lot. I want to upgrade my phone into 4.0.4 android becouse this one don't have my language in it (Slovenian)
What I need to do?
Go to Sammobile, register there and download the preferred firmware for your device and flash it with Odin.

Sure you can fail.
My recommendation: do your due diligence in research, and make sure whatever you are flashing is meant for your model of phone before doing anything.
#1 reason I've seen for bootloops and bricks is due to people just flashing the first thing they find, which ends up being a firmware meant for a different model of phone.
If you want an easy an almost 100% brick free way to root your phone, download siyah kernel and just flash it through the PDA section of Odin.
That will give you root + permanent CWM
I rooted phone with odin and it's ok but I think there is something wrong with GPS.(Not working)
It start working when I rebooted my phone.
Another thing..Where can I get boot animations ?
I found it (lol) Thanks for everything
Google can be really good friend!

[Q] The most easiest way to root S2 4.1.2

By flashing a kernel like siyah v6 b5+ via odin.
Thanks for the answers!
Now first of all, ExynosAbuse would be perfect but does that support 4.1.2?
Also what comes to sidyah, does that support phones that are sim-locked? If so, how can i get rid of the operator sim-lock and is this risky?
And for the last: if i root my phone, can i get official updates in the future from samsung? Cause i don't wanna mess with the style that i got in my jelly bean quite like it, just want to get superuser-access.
So the app that i'm searching for is one click root that supports updates in future for 4.1.2. Is it impossible?
Thanks!
I'm with theunderling here.
I've always flashed via Odin woithout any problems and it very quick too. If you do everything right, it shouldn't take more than a minute, dead serious. 1 minute. Okay maybe more, but maximum 2 according to me
Just download tar or md5 file. Open Odin. Put the file in PDA. Then start. (and make sure Re-Partition is NOT checked)
(Im not going to give you step by step instructions cause that is for you to find out But i've actually helped you out alot
Good luck, and post for further question. Just dont forget to search before.
*EDIT* Yea, siyah is one of the best kernels, and dont worry everythin should be the same. You can get siyah kernel from gokhanmoral.com

[Q] Will i lose root if i upgrade?

Hi guys, just upgraded from Sony Xperia Sola to S3 (i am still learning). I bought the phone 2 days old with root and CWM, its on 4.1.2 JB.
Now its saying there is a new software for the phone, so i want to ask:
1. Will i lose root after upgrading?
2. Does the new software worth it?
Thanx guys

Do you want to keep root?
if you're rooted, IMHO its best to manually flash roms. Unles syou dont want root, in which case its best to download a full version from sammobile.com to return it to stock.
OTA updates don't work if you're rooted, you'll get an error

How about taking the time to read the basic faqs and guides first .
Loose root yes .
New software worth it who knows unless you say what it is .
But its probably;y a minor update details all over the forum .
