Root [Sprint/Cricket] Can you root on JB?

I had issues upgrading my rooted S3 to JB, so I flashed a stock non-rooted rom and stock recovery and let Sprint update my phone L3, then flashed the L7 JB ROM though the standard recovery and got it all working again.

Love JB.

Now that I am on JB, can I just flash CWM-Recovery-LTE-SGS3-v5.tar.md5 through ODIN then once I have a custom recovery flash TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery-v5.zip to regain root, or will this not work on JB?

Thanks for the help!

yes you can root when starting on JB. Its the same method since the S3 doesnt have a locked bootloader. Youre good to go rooting sir
