How to install ota with root?

[jamjr74]

I am rooted with an unlocked bootloader but everything else is stock (no custom Rom). How do I install ota updates? Do I have to unroot??? Thanks

I was able to successfully install the update without unrooting. I lost root after the update, but had no problem obtaining it again using this method: [ROOT][TOOL][2012-07-24] GS3DebugFSRoot: Root the Verizon GSIII without flashing - xda-developers

Yeah that's how I rooted too. I tried to install ota but it failed. hmmmm

Did you freeze any apps by renaming them? If so, try unfreezing them.
Though admittedly, I didn't unfreeze and had no issues. However, not many of mine are frozen.

Yeah this worked and ota installed. I too lost root so I will have to root again. Thanks

Just follow entire root method again? Flash clockword mod recovery too?

I'm not using Clockwork Recovery, so I can't comment on that front. But yes, just follow the root method again.

Got root back and all is well, thanks
