Of course.
What can i do to make the update with cwm recovery ?
Thank you.
i got the same problem , cant upgrade the cwm gets it back and upgrade fales all the time.
I had the same problem updating to 2.3.6. OTA update downloads, but crashed during the install. Fixed it by downloading a stock (updated) rom & flashing with CWM.
U can find the stock roms here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Just make sure u read the instructions thoroughly.
OTA updates are usually patch files, which expect to find a completely unadulterated /system partition -if you've rooted, this won't be the case so the OTA will fail.
If you are rooted with CWM, you are *always* better off waiting for someone to repackage updates/ROM in CWM format.

Don't do it! I had the same issue as OP updating OTA but was able to do it via Kies. I wish I didn't! My update broke root access (went from KK1 to LA2) and now I'll have to downgrade via Odin to get my root back

so what can i do to make the update without breaking my phone ?
Thank you
I can't use Kies to update my firmware because it is rooted.
I need to update without using Kies, while keep all my personal data and setting? Is it possible?
If you get a stock rom from Samfirmware & flash it with Odin, it shouldn't erase your stuff.
I had rooted my note 3 sm-n9005, and I cannot update via OTA. Hence I update to the latest firmware via kies 3.
After update via kies, the root is gone.
I thought now my phone was back to stock, I tried again update via OTA, it still failed. Said my phone is modified. I wonder,didn't I update back to stock firmware ? Why still saying it is modified?
I checked my current binary and system status in download mode, they are custom, why they are not stuck as I already update to the latest firmware?

i thought if i reflash to stock firmware i would be able to OTA
So now Odin will be my best friend while updating xD
Means once I rooted my phone (No matter I unroot it after that),I will never able to update via OTA right?
Just a quick question, if I root my Note 4, what exactly happens when an OTA update comes around?
If I keep the stock recovery, and just root with CF, is it still possible to install the updates, and then reroot?
Thanks!

Yes you can still have OTA updates even after root, but you have to either flash a stock ROM via odin from sammobile for your exact specific model (must match product code and CSC) OR connect to Kies and update from it, if there's no update available in Kies you can use the "firmware upgrade and initialization option", both options will get your "official" status back and you will get OTA updates again. After you install all the updates you can then re-root it.

Okay, so the answer is no to actually applying OTA updates while rooted? From what you're saying I'll have to revert to stock, install the update, and then re-root. Not the end of the world I guess.
Thanks

Yep you have to revert to stock like I did when I updated to the 17 Nov update. Kies updates work while you're rooted tho but they also remove root and you have to reroot afterwards. OTA updates will never work for any rooted samsung mobile.
Hi, do you lose your data by flashing the update via Odin or via Kies?
I mean, I'm rooted with all my apps, configurations and data, I can't get the OTA update since I'm rooted, if I update the software via Kies or Odin will I have all my data, configuration etc like the OTA update or have I to reinstall all the apps and reconfigure all?
Thanks!

Same question here. I'm no longer rooted (unrooted via the su app) but I still can't get OTA updates. Can I update using Kies while keeping my data? Will I then be able to use OTA in future?
You'll receive ota updates but you cannot install through phone once knox is triggered even if you flash stock rom.I haven't tried through kies though

So I need to use either odin, either kies, does it mean I lose all my personal data and have to reinstall everything??
Thanks.

Full unroot back to stock... install updates.... root again
and titanium is your friend
[NOTE: For this please flash stock recovery and continue with the following steps]
I'm having Samsung c9 pro (rooted) and nougat update was released for my device. I used xposed module FireFdsKit (mentioned below) to get update. To receive updates, open the module, go to security hacks and check the fake system status to official and go to system settings and check for software updates and it'll show updates (if any) and doing this helped me to get the official OTA update for Nougat . Download the update file (but don't install through
system update manager). After downloading the update, open flashfire app and it'll detect the OTA update press ok and flash the update with flashfire app (as flashing through this app you can have the root even after the update) and my mobile is updated and working fine now (on the latest update and still rooted ) you can use wanam module for KitKat, Lollipop Devices
Wanam (For 4.0+) : http://repo.xposed.info/module/ma.wanam.xposed
