You are making the right decision. Pickup your new phone and take the official OTA update and then root afterwards. Hopefully by then there will be full custom ROMS with all the current updates cooked into them.

Once the devs release their custom ROMS, there will be no need for rooted phones to take the OTA updates as the devs will have them cooked into the ROMS each time they are updated. Good luck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bizdady:
Sweet! Waiting for deodexed! Wife updated her non root phone and goggle wallet now opens.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CapsLockKey:
I don't think it's possible to root after you take the OTA. I can't anyway. The update overwrites CWM with stock recovery on boot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
Enable download mode on the phone > flash the cwm recovery via odin > flash root zip in cwm recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CapsLockKey:
can't get into cwm recovery because the phone overwrites it. I tried to boot into it and it just boot loops until i let it boot without holding the recovery buttons. Were you able to boot into CWM after installing the OTA then reflashing cwm in odin?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
I didn't, but I do believe I saw a user that did successfully.

And when entering recovery, you ARE letting go of the power button when you see 'recovery' flash in blue at the top of the screen, correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CapsLockKey:
I finally got it to work. After flashing CWM in Odin, left auto-reboot checked. As soon as the phone vibrates I just held Home and Volume Up and was able to finally boot into CWM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] PatrickHuey:
Do you think I could flash this over my stock rooted rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
Generally you should leave that checked. Glad it worked.

Yes, just make a backup, do your wipes, flash in recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] PatrickHuey:
Well yes. But do you think I have to wipe data? Or just cache
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
Woops borked root!

Fixing ASAP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
You can flash the rom just wiping the caches; without wiping data, you may get unforeseen errors / fcs. I'd wipe it to be safe, but to each their own.

Here are two mods I made for the LG8 update (deodexed)

Thanks to clark44 and zeppelinrox for their tutorials

-3 Way Reboot

-services.jar fix for V6 Supercharger

DOWNLOAD

If your using V6 I would make your scripts run At Boot (as root) with Script Manager (your scripts should be in /data)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] franchise:
Do you have another TW Rom with it working? If so I would go back to that one go to system/app and copy the smemo app and the smemo provider app right under it to your memory card.

Flash thIs Rom and paste it in the system/ app folder. Then it will work. That's what I did for smemo to work.

Oh yea thats right. I turned that feature on before the LG8 release and I never saw that icon. thanks.

I flashed the odexed package successfully and maintained root access. Thanks freeza!

Thanks for putting this together, fergie716. I flashed in recovery (wiped cache and dalvik) and I don't seem to have the 3-in-1 reboot menu. When I hold Power and select Restart, it doesn't give me the three reboot options. Am I doing something wrong?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ventzi:
after the update it seems that options for choosing a different type of network is gone. I have at home dual band router and I did setup by default to using 5Ghz networks. Now I'm at place where they offer free wi-fi, but I can't find the network because is not a 5Ghz one. Then I try to switch to 2.4 or Auto but under wi-fi settings I don't have that options anymore. I stack only on 5Ghz.

Can anybody check and see if you guys have that options after LG8 update?

Thanks

I'm not rooted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smark72:
Wow it is gone. I switch back and forth from 2.4 to 5 as well. I wonder if it's just automatically set to auto.

I would try to connect to a 2.4 signal but I am still at work. I know I was on 5ghz before I left for work.

I wonder why they would remove an option like that.

Sent from my SPH-L710
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ventzi:
I do the same thing like you. No it is not switched to auto. I'm at home and I can't see any networks from 2.4. They assume that everyone is using auto as default. Could you please try when you get home or just scan for any network? I'm pretty sure that it's kept your last settings.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smark72:
I will send you pm between 10pm and 1030pm when I get home and check it, unless someone else can confirm. We can't be the only ones who use 5ghz at home and switch.

Anyone having this issue with Wi-Fi?

Sent from my SPH-L710
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SSaxman:
I, too, am missing the setting to switch bands after updating to LG8. Mine was set to Auto before and apparently still is because I see both my 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks when scanning.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smark72:
Anyone who updates to lg8, make sure you are set to auto in the advanced Wi-Fi settings. They seem to have removed the setting to be able to choose and if you are set to 5ghz or 2.4ghz only that's all you will be able to connect to after updating. I was set to 5ghz only and now I can't connect to anything 2.4. I am going to have to restore, change to auto then come back. Couple of others reported same thing, so I don't think it was bad flash. Just wanted to give heads up.

If you are on lg8 and you can connect to both 2.4 and 5ghz frequencies then you should be good. If you haven't updated yet, check your Wi-Fi settings. Click the advanced tab and the setting is in there.

make sure your phone is in download mode just incase you forgot. power down...hold volume up,home button, and power at the same time and press up to continue(correct me if i'm wrong anyone). Then plug your phone in and start the Odin process :)

This is such a ridiculous question, I almost feel guilty asking it...but I just came from an Evo so I'm new to S3/Odin. I'm rooted stock LG2 with some removed apps (so I can't just flash the update through CWM). So can I flash the full odex LG8 through CWM without clearing data? Or should I flash the LG8 firmware + other parts?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
TO get the "complete" update. Other than that, you should be fine with just the baseband modem & ROM

There are no ridiculous questions. Don't even worry about it! You sure can flash without the need to clear data. You should probably flash the baseband modem though, it's equivalent of the "radio" on HTC phones. Firmware+other parts are equivalent to the random things you would get included in a bootloader zip on the EVO such as hboot/bootloader, etc.. That part is really up to you :)

I posted this in the CM10 thread, but I feel like it's probably was more relevant here...

I've been running cm10 for a while now and I've been really wanting to update my radio to LG8, however I'm having a horrendous time. I feel like I've searched and read everything there is to read about it, I just for some reason cannot figure it out. I have tried flashing both the deodexed and odexed version from this thread (flashing through CWM, but after flashing it seems to freeze on the loading screen and I have to reflash CM10)

I really don't want to flash a different rom, since I have this setup exactly how I want it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smark72:
-Download Odin and install on pc and run

-Only check auto reboot and f reset time

-Place other parts in pda slot

-Place phone in download mode by turning phone off then hold down volume down, home and power button. When screen comes up, tap volume up once to get into download mode.

-plug phone into usb port you should see a com "1 thru 9" in upper left box(doesn't matter what number is shown) as long as you have the right drivers installed in pc.

-then hit start and let it run. Should only take like five seconds for that particular flash.

-Unplug phone when it says finished.

I am sorry if it was answered before, but I also was wondering this.

My GF's phone is on the stock shipped ROM that I have since rooted and installed TWRP and made a golden image of her phone. SHe is now being prompted for an update constantly, but I tell her to ignore it until someone comes out with a CWM/TWRP install-able variant.

From looking at the update details on her phone, her update is just a few MB's. I believe its the update that removes google unified search. Is there a CWM/TWRP install-able version of this update? I see in the OP, his odex version of the update seems to be a full rooted rom (700MB). I want just the update if possible so I can remove the update notice on her phone, but not have to redo the whole shabang and set the whole phone up again. Between her and my phone, I want it simple these days :)

Please advise,

Hans
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SSaxman:
Accept the update. It will reboot the device and fail because of the custom recovery. Then, Odin the Other Parts in the OP, boot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, flash update, flash firmware and you're good to go. It won't wipe any of your data.

After I flash the deodex one does it it erase my stuff on the internal storage like pics and game files?
