free is it...... mnot charge courrier o wat...

I will stand corrected. But without root and titanium backup. You will not be able to save your games and data. If you just want to backup phone no and messages there are a lot of free programs.

but if just root it, can i still use ota update? and is my warranty consider void?

I think it depends. If you never modify any system files, you may update it via OTA..... Anyone????? Please help.

Strictly speaking, warranty is voided if rooting detected by service center. But it seems most of the time, it will be repaired anyway depending on their discretion.
If this is a concern, and you want to be 101% sure of warranty, don't root.

If rooted on ICS, using triangle away to reset status allows OTA update there are challenges on JB.
If rooted on JB, using triangle away is stilly unlikely to allow OTA updates.

If you want to be rooted on 4.1.2 or higher, suggestion is do not use OTA updates as the bootloader will be updated as well. This updated 4.1.2 bootloader will cause a red exclamation mark at top left of the screen to be shown while booting; this cannot be reset by triangle away and is a sign of rooted device/custom ROM etc.

To avoid new bootloader being installed, flash 4.1.2 using Kies or Mobile ODIN. PC ODIN will by default flash the new 4.1.2 bootloader as well.

All this of course, depends on the 4.1.2 for Malaysia (XME) being finally released
Unless you want other countries 4.1.2 firmware, which is available now of course. UK one is the one most people here using I think.

so most likely ota is not usable but still can update through kies a? and is better to wait for malaysia 4.1.2 release only go root it?

Correct, you can wait for Kies to show the update available - should be soon; and I made a typo earlier, the red exclamation mark appears on top left.

thanks, i will try and see how fail kies in the backup first......

i just reset mine using triangle away. its possible

1- Reset via Triangle Away
2- Turn off phone and go to download mode.
3- Then flash via odin pc the stock firmware you want.
After this method flash counter is 0. However if you go for custom rom or not stock kernel, that red exlamation mark comes back and flash counter increases to 1.

In sammobile where you see they are in Q?

OKOK! saw it...

Attached thumbnail(s)

Nobody knows that.

If you root it the correct way, your device still normal... NEVER root with CWM, because CWM will make your device modified, and OTA will not let you update..even if you reset with Triangle Away..

so how to root is best flash d rom alreasy root in download mode???

??? , sorry i dont understand your question..

how to root d phone is best

i did it with 1st method, then phone status become modified, i used triangle away, then remove CWM, then reset. Status back to normal.

You should try 3rd or 2nd method.

Thanks for sharing.

I guess root only, still may be possible to get OTA for JB as mentioned by danleongwz...
And yes, with new bootloader, any CWM installed other than stock recovery (even if not used), the red exclamation will appear. Triangle Away is currently no help for this issue.
