So I've been thinking about rooting my S3. I'm no stranger to rooting, and i haven't rooted yet because the S3 pretty much has almost everything i wanted out of rooting in the stock OS, smoothness and notification toggles and plus a few extra features.
However, today, My sister got the jelly bean update on the Gnex i traded her for her upgrade to the S3 (because i was almost certain that the S3 would get Jelly Bean before the Nexus XD) and now I'm kind of jealous. i wanted to hold off on rooting because i hate having to start all over after rooting and unlocking, and also i didn't want to start all over again to unroot and relock when the JB update hit.
So i have a few questions, is it possible to root and unlock the Stock OS without starting over?
And is there a way to unroot and relock? i have not seen anything about unrooting. Is it possible to do so without erasing everything?
Figured it'd be a long shot, but thought i'd ask anyway.
thanks
oh and one more thing, should i try out the touchwiz ROMs? or stick to something more stock like CM10?
