Can you tell me how to root and unroot without triggering the counting warning? Thanks.
Just look on the stickies
Root no trip the flash counter method
However, you could root any of the ways and use the app triangle away to reset the flash counter

I do recall reading something about doing the opposite, temporarily unrooting in order for the OTA to install properly then enabling root again, but I can't for the life of me remember where or how it was done. It was just a tap of a button is all I can remember. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Inside the root programs SuperSU or Super User, there are options to select "Temp Unroot"

Actually I was trying to remember OTA Rootkeeper, but it's nice to know of this method too. Once you install OTA Rootkeeper it allows you to temporarily unroot.
Clear and safe temporary rooting?
I have no need for custom ROMs etc, just want to make complete backup, perhaps remove some apps and for curiosity try to run some game data analyzers. Can I do this with temporary rooting and is there some clear and safe howto for the S3 (currently seems to have JB 4.1.2) ?
What I want is to temp-root the phone, do some magic and then after restart use the original rom without root.
(Little OT, but if I do a permanent root and then unroot the phone, will I lose some data? They talk about "wipeout" and it sounds like a permanent lose of data.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Ari

There is no such thing as "temporary root". You either have it, or you don't. You have the option (through root access) to remove root when you are finished with it.
You will not lose any data. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong.
I didn't answer the how to question because the answers are in the stickies.

Unrevoked alone will not get you where you want to be, you also need to run unrevoked-Forever(nand-off) which when combined with unrevoked(rooting) will give you both Root and Nand-Off, for simplicity sake, let's call this "full root", albeit the unrevoked team would correct me on my interpretation, the process remains the same.
Use unrevoked 3.21 ...it will give you full root. Then download root explorer and you will be able to go in and delete any of the sprint or other stuff you want. There are guides on here how to use root explorer and really its not that complicated. You can even save the apks you delete in case you decide you want them back. It worked for me.

Ha! after you root the phone...reboot into recovery and find nandroid and it allows you to make a "backup" of how your phone was. If you accidentally muck up your phone you can flash the nandroid backup and it'll restore the phone to how it was!
this works for me can't promise that it would work for anyone else....but if you use z4root and get temporary root you can then use rom manager to fully root your phone which will last after reboot and everything....
z4root gives you temporary root and Rom manager lets you flash a custom recovery/roms.
I don't see how a combination of the two would or could give you a NAND Unlock.

Typically you don't have to worry about it for a freeplacement, If you root it all you have to do is flash a stock RUU and everything will go back to orignial. I had to take my wifes for repaired yesterday due to the flash quit working. I just installed a stock RUU from sprint. Had it fixed, went home re-rooted and restored with nandroid and you would never know.
Just use unrevoked. Its super easy to fully root your phone.

Just rooting doesn't prevent updates. You just lose root and have to reapply after update.
Custom recovery means you probably need to download the update file and apply it via the recovery instead of the automatic updater.
Changing or removing system files will almost definitely prevent updates being applied.

hi sfhub, do I need to do
fastboot oem unlock
before doing
fastboot boot twrp.img ?
I've been rooted since day one and gotten ota updates fine.
I use twrp and just make sure to flash supersu each time and call it good. Not a single problem on my end.
Even still if you bork it just flash factory image. It's pretty simple to get out of a pinch. But rooting and ota should work fine as long as you keep stock image. Just reflash supersu each time and you're good to go.

If you aren't already unlocked then, yes.
Most people will already be unlocked though if they are rooted.
fastboot oem unlock process will force a factory reset for security purposes so backup anything important.

There are some backup apps that don't need root, but probably need to restore.
You can also try adb backup, but it may not backup 100% of your stuff.
I'm not the best person to ask on the backup as I always unlock before I do most of the software installs just so I can avoid losing customizations later on.

Yes, very simple, just type

I would advise against doing so unless you plan to return the unit though, as if you ever need to do stuff to your system (even factory restore) then you'd need to unlock again, which would factory reset again.

Use this Google Kingo Root app
1. Let it install driver
2. Let SuperSu keep trying to get access and phone will keep rebooting because of knox
3. Eventually the program is going to try to root thru Odin
4. Download Root Explorer or another file browser who need root access
5. Now go in root and delete
system/app = knox apps
system/container = knox apps
etc/secure-storage = knox folder
libs/ = libKnox
6. When done install SuperSu from the market.
7. Let it update SU.
8. Done!!!!!!!!!!!!! enjoy root, bye bye KNOX
