Ok, now my serious question.

I was rooted my s3 and still stick with stock ICS (nvr flash any custom/stock firmware just because waiting for official JB! and thanks God, finally it released).

So should I un-root it and flash the official JB by using Odin (PC) or just flash it with rooted s3?

(*according to conversation at page 40 among the sifus and drumhitz bro:
drumhitz bro s3 was rooted and using siyah kernel on stock ICS. and the sifuss here suggest just flash the official JB without un-root)

So my case stil the same or?

Thanks in advance.

p/s: NEVER go and wipe you data directly after flashing using odin, install CF -root first then do the wipe if you want,

direct wipe after flashing odin will wipe your internal SD card files too

Just Google about it, seems that most of the s3 are having them.. What's the cause anyway

i already found that issue on my 1st day 1 buy my gs3. luckily before i pay. i already told that seller that black spot, and i got 1 to 1 exchange. if we check thru lcd check (*#0*#) never see it.

when JB official ..gagaggaga.. i cant wait. dont want to root yet

huh? mate it is official 8 hours ago

Ok thank you silentser bro.

B4 flash it, I should backup my data with titanium backup (free) right?

then start flash. I will try to use this method: thanks to Jayce Ooi sifu

after I flash, what should i do?

Can you roughly tell me what should I do b4 and after I flash the official JB?

Sorry for questioning much. =/

Samsung gs3 official jb does it have the same feature as the stock android camera? The feature where u can swipe from the side to preview the image when ure in the camera?

before flash, backup,with titanium or nandroid or both, make sure your ALL contacts are all sync to google, and your sms have been backup using sms backup and restore app, and your whatsapp chats are backup.

get your cf-root ready (the one that need to flash using odin, not the CWM type),get your firmware ready.

there are 2 way to do here,

1. no wipe (im assuming this firmware would not auto wipe, and the firmware could boot without wipe).

open odin , open up the firmware into PDA slot-> phone boot download mode -> stick in the usb ->flash -> wait phone to boot**** -> flash cfroot -> done

***if after like 10 minutes your phone still stuck at the samsung logo follow number 2



2. wipe. (recommended by people alwiz)

open odin , open up the firmware into PDA slot-> phone boot download mode -> stick in the usb ->flash -> wait phone to boot then shutdown/if stuck at logo pull battery out -> flash cf-root ->boot recovery -> wipe data ->reboot ->restore your data using titanium/nandroid


root no need wipe, only when you are changing firmware it is recomended to wipe
