I didn't find anything in search, so here goes.
Anyone tell me how to get root after manually updating to JB? Would I have to re-install CWM via Odin again?
The rooting process is the same for jb.
If you updated manually out is possible that you still have root but may have lost your custom recovery. The newer builds (lg8 and later) have code that replaces the stock recovery of the signature does not match.
If that has happened your best bet is to flash cwm using Odin again but you must also disable the code that replaces the recovery. Do a Google search for Team Epic Root From Recovery for the process.
You need to flash the recovery with Odin and then get into recovery before you not the Rom so that you can then flash the Team Epic Root From Recovery file.

I am running stock EL29 gingerbread ROM with CWM recovery 5.0.2.7 by team Rogue. Just trying to get stock recovery back to update OTA to new official ICS release. If there is an easier way using CWM recovery from stock 2.3 then I am willing to give that a shot as well. If any ROM developers have put out a custom ROM close to stock ICS let me know as well. I'm gonna try to survive the OTA update after I get my stock recovery back but if not what is the word on rooting the official ICS release? Will mobile Odin work or do I need to use Windows 7? Thanks allot for any help I really appreciate it.

I too would like to know.

If you want you should be able to apply the OTA .zip from CWM - but you will lose root and cannot run any restores unless you go back to GB first.
As for root it may take a little bit. If I understand the process correctly OTA has to have root applied where it will stick when flashed, clean the phone to stock EL29, flash the OTA, repack the phone contents and tar it up so that you can flash by ODIN. It also is unknown how different (if at all) the OTA is from the previously leaked FF18. So far the modem appears to match but that's as far as I got.
Once it gets to .tar format you should be able to do all but the modem by Mobile Odin.
I used Sfhub's Auto Root Package and clicked the stock EL29 option instead of the EL29 + CWM rogue option that I had used to get CWM. Super fast, super easy, and got rid of CWM for me.

Thanks I flashed back to stock using the same thing and got stock recovery back. Then applied OTA update then rooted again now just have to flash CWM recovery once again.

BTW I posted a modifed FF18 OTA which can be run directly from EL29+CWM.
There are 2 versions (both rooted), one with FF18+CWM-agat-src and another with stock kernel/recovery

Where can I find the stock recovery for the T-Mobile SGS3? I have a complete stock, rooted SGS3 with the Team Winn Touch Recovery downloaded from GooManager. I just received the OTA update and wanty to download it. I want to use the triangle away app, flash the Stock Android Recovery and then use the Super User App to UnRoot the phone. I think this will allow me to download the OTA update and then I can just root the phone again and flash the recovery from GooManager.
Where can I find that Stock Android Recovery???
Thanks,
Vinny
Here you go. This is the most recent version from the latest UVALH2 update. It should work fine with any ROM.
thanks
Do you flash recovery through Odin or CWM/Twrp?

I know this is a nook question but could the fact that I am rooted with clockwork mod recovery be preventing my update?
I download the OTA update and reboot recovery and start the update then it says something about could not update do to signature or something like that.

Because you are rooted it wont wont. It requires the stock samsung recovery to apply that update OTA. So either you put the stock samsung recovery and then apply that OTA update, or you download the CWM flashable version of that update thats available in the other forum. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896773
Im assuming you mean the AT&T LH9 update

Actually, root has nothing to do with it. Its all about the stock recovery.
Right but most of these folks who are rooted will have done so by flashing CWM and then injecting the root zip or flashing a rooted rom. But yes it doesnt have anything to do with the root itself, it fails because the recovery isnt the stock recovery.
Best option for him would be to use the CWM flashable one I linked.
How cod I flash back the stock recovery and will I lose root if I do?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
If you apply the OTA update via the stock recovery then yes you will lose root. There is a thread that has the stock recovery image file you could flash back. But again, if the LH9 is the update you looking for, then why not just use the CWM flashable ZIP on the thread I linked earlier? You are not giving much specifics if that is the update you are attempting to apply.

I'm not sure which update it is I just know I was prompted to download an OTA update and it failed. I have not had the time I used to with my s1 to keep up to date with all that's going on with rooms and stock updates and what not. By the way what is the most stable roms out there right now? I would like to try a jelly bean Rom if they have any, also don't want to lose any features of stock.

Hello,
I'm new to Android and rooting and I've decided to root my Galaxy S3. However, I'd like to know what is the most current and safest way to root the phone. I've tried downloading the app by following the video in the Generals section but the apps seems to support only 4.0.4 and I'm @ 4.1 and a Google search seems to turn up some methods that are a couple of months back. Any help is much appreciated.
Jelly Bean does not require anything special to root. The method is the same as with ICS.
I used the Team Epic Root method.
Thanks for the quick reply, but do you happen to know if this is the safest method?
I used the same method to root while I was on ICS and had no problems. Just make sure you don't reboot the phone after you Odin the recovery to it. Set Odin to not reset device and then manually boot into recovery and flash the team epic root from recovery file. If you reboot your phone after you flash the custom recovery in Odin and don't immediately manually boot into recovery and flash the team epic file afterward, your phone will overwrite the custom recovery you just flashed and put stock recovery back on your device.

It is as safe as it gets. Rooting on the GS3 is very easy and safe (especially compared to how the HTC Evo process was). You do not have to deal with exploits in a locked bootloader, etc. You simply flash a custom recovery with Odin, and the flash a file that roots the phone with that recovery. The only gotcha (and it is not much of one) was added with LG8 which requires you to boot into recovery before booting the system ROM, so that you can root and disable the code that restores the stock recovery. That is included in the Team Epic Root for Recovery file.
thanks i'll try it and hopefully won't mess up too bad
SGH-T999, stock t999uvdlja
A month or two ago, I followed a rooting instructions thread on here. It had me use odin to flash over a clockwork recovery mod as the first step. It flashed over fine according to odin, but I was never able to enter recovery following the next steps and therefore was not able to root. I can't find the thread anymore.
I realized after the fact that my phone was already on Jellybean, so I presume, maybe wrongly, that the reason the clockwork mod wouldn't work was because it was for the older Ice cream sandwich firmware.
Anyway, now my phone says unable to update because it's modified when I go into settings:about:software updates.
I want to get this error to go away. I have kies and there is now a firmware update in there that I would like to do to see if it fixes a problem with the wifi calling app breaking caller id among other things.
I am afraid that if I try to push this update via kies, it may brick the phone or not work thanks to the clockwork mod problem.
So two questions: 1) how can I un-flash that clockwork mod out of there and make the recovery back to stock so there is no further error or possible warranty issue, and 2) is it safe to do that kies firmware update and if so would that fix the recovery on its own?
Any ideas?

You need to find the stock recovery .tar file and use odin to flash it the same way you flashed the cwm recovery. Then you will probably need to use triangle away to reset the counter.....dont think kies would work if it sees your device is modified but not sure about that.
Use triangle away first to reset your flash counter then odin the completly stock jb from here http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390169635556426424....this is from docholidays thread for stock odin roms in the sticky section of development. ..this should give you a completely stock phone including recovery.....you will lose your data from this process but your sd card will be fine.
Edit: just realized you dont have root...you need root to use triangle away....so first odin root 66 pre root stock rom....then use triangle away....then odin stock unrooted rom that I linked above.
