I was wondering if someone would know of a simple way to receive an update to my gs3 after rooting, I recently purchased it. It is the U.S cellular variant and I must say I was pretty impressed (shocked) that on my first attempt ever at rooting a device I was able to root my gs3 without a single problem using the CMteamepic root file>>cwmrecovery tar file>> odin file>>> based on the sprint illustration on youtube. Followed it to a T and voila'... It was done, I actually did it without a single issue to the root process or to phone:) If someone could help with the update issue, I tried updating and the phone actually went through the process all the way to where it asks where you want to boot from and then press the power button. I'm not sure if I was suppose to scroll to something else prior to pressing the power button but when I did so from the first selection and phone booted up it said update failed. If anyone could please help I would greatly appreciate it.

You can't apply ota updates while rooted. You need to unroot if you really want the update. Honestly, most devs just incorporate the updates in to their roms once the updates are are released anyways.
