It won't update to the new software update. It is rooted. Should I unroot? How do I unroot?
This is what I get on download mode:
I updated, and it downloaded a 93.9 MB file, when it ended I pressed install, it rebooted the device and took me to a screen where the android robot is lying on his back (download mode?) anyway, at the bottom of the screen was as follows:
cwm-based recovery v5.5.0.4 : : cf-v1.4
E:invalid command argument
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
if u mean u downloaded a ota update, even with cf root which should work with OTA updates it is not recommended as they can fail. Either use kies to update your phone which will work with root but will remove root in the update process so youll have to run cf root after the update.
Or flash the updated rom using odin, youll find the new rom version on sammobile.com for your region/provider. This will also remove root during the flash so cf root will be required afterwards to get root back

Thank you

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

Hi,
I rooted my Note 3 the Root De La Vega way. At some point, I lost root (According to Root Checker). However, I realized that my firmware hadn't changed. Then, the latest OTA tried to push to my phone and, without thinking, I downloaded it and tried to install. It failed. I figured that I needed to unroot my phone in order to grab the OTA. I didn't mind losing root. I looked up how to do it and found a thread saying to do it through SuperSU. I tried to open SuperSU and got an error message saying that "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it..." I then tried to see if I could find the stock firmware and use Odin to unroot that way. I couldn't find the stock firmware for my particular device. Now, I don't know what to do. Please help.
Thanks
Bump?
Bueller?
Use Odin to reinstall a stock firmware. Should wipe everything on the device. Make sure you're on the current base by checking for updates. Then reroot using kingo and install safe strap.
♢NoteIII♢
A week ago, my OTA update failed. Have Towelroot and supersu. No other modifications. Failure message said I should use Kies since my phone is modified in an unauthorized way. In order to update and either retain Towelroot through it, OR unroot through supersu, update either OTA or with Kies and then reroot with Towelroot, would the following work:
I have a SM-G900F.
1) I unroot with supersu. I remove Titanium and supersu.
2) I try to update with either an OTA approach or Kies.
3) If update is successful, I reroot with Towelroot and reinstall supersu and Titanium.
Would this work? Would removing root with supersu make me be able to do an OTA update or is Kies inevitable? And after a possible successful update, will Towelrooting still work, or does the most recent Android update (I currently am still 4.2.2) render Towelroot unusable after updating.
Any help much appreciated.

Dude forget about OTA`s when you are rooted, install Mobile Odin Pro and just flash the new rom with MOP and you`ll keep root. Don`t use a wipe or it will fail.

Sorry, but that's just waay too advanced for me. I don't know what flashing a rom means, I just want the most recent update that came out (at least for Europe) a week ago and be able to have root, that's it. Does unrooting, updating to new version with Kies, then rerooting with Towelroot work? Please can somebody just tell me if that can do it or how to do it? I know I'm a noob, sorry, just need real advice.
please.....somebody put me out of my misery. help?

Just download the stock firmware and flash with Kies or Odin. It's not too complex.
To obtain the latest firmware for your device, open Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > 'Firmware Browser' menu.
my samsung galaxy s5 , is rooted but I would like to upgrade, I can't do the OTA upgrade so I should proceed with Kies , I would like to know whether I have to unroot my phone(how do I do that? via kies?)or just directly proceed with the upgrade,furthermore, my phone was a sumsung galaxy s5 tmobile but I managed to unlock it in order to use it with other carriers, if I install the original firmware and then upgrade to the newest version, can I still use it with other carriers or will return locked? thank you
Update from 4.4.2
Hi all,
I'm stuck on 4.4.2 right now, but i want to update to 5.0.
Anyone who can give me a tutorial?
I have no SD card.
Connect to a good wifi, go into settings and there should be an "Software update" option somewhere, if you are on stock rom.
Do this,go to sammobile,download firmware 5.0.1 for your mobile and install with Odin program,that is all .
Yes if can't update from ota, download firmware from sammobile and flash via odin . .
I forgot to mention, that i have rooted my phone using CF-autoroot
It doesnt matter, you can flash your official firmware via Odin whenever you want. Just download the firmware from sammobile.com and flash it. Thats all. In addition if you want to use a custom rom you can choose a 5.x.x version of it and flash it via TWRP recovery. It is your choise.
Okay i've followed THIS tutorial, but now it asks for some root issues.
"Root access possibly lost. Fix?"
"THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE"
"- No"
"- Yes - fix root (/system/xbin/su)"
I want to keep my root
I am quite stuck untill someone tells me how to keep my root.
I am using CWM.
Phone is a SM-N910R4 US Cellular. Was rooted by Odin then unrooted by King root. Now unable to root using Odin and current non root is unrecognized and unable to update system. Any ideas on how I can either get system updated and/or rooted again ? Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thx in advance !
try with Smart switch,it will recognized your phone ,and tell you if you have or not have update for your phone.
I also have problem with root and dm-verify verification failed in recovery ,so I couldn't update my phone OTA ,but I was having update OTA,I was downloading and trying to install it and every time its failed until I didn't install SMART SWITCH,and easily update phone to latest firmware.
which method of rooting your phone you trying to root?
I was having problem with magisk,and every time I failed to root,so I use superSu , superSu cf auto root.
for rooting phone:
I was first install through Odin TWRP for my model
then download superSu-v2.82-201705271822.zip
put that file on my SD card and download to TWRP recovery
then flash that file through install in recovery
and you have rooted phone.
works for me so perfectly that i dont have one problem with rooting.
the second way:
its also through Odin
download Cf-auto root and flash it through Odin
than you can easily download from play store Official TWRP app and install recovery.
for me,this is the best and easy way of rooting phones.
