I couldn't believe that I received on OTA update today.
will I loose root when I update? will the update work at all? will I crash my phone with this?
if I update, is there anything I could do before to ensure that the update goes well. can I still root afterwards with Knox 0x0?
thanks
How it's possible? I thought a rooted device can't updated via OTA.

You may receive an update notification and you can even download it, but you cannot install it once you have rooted.
It will fail at the installation in the recovery mode.
You need to download the stock firmware and flash via Odin.
Hey guys,
I have a tmobile note 4 with COD6 and was wondering I'd it would be safe to update to COG2 and keep my root without any issues? I'm going to have to update via kies, which I have never done before due to the OTA option stating that since I made unauthorized changes to my device I will have to do a manual update. Have any of you already done this and had/experienced any improvement's or issues?
Hi, I wanted to know where can I get the mini-updates to download and update the phone, because when the phone is rooted you can't get it with OTA.
Cheers.
No body?
The "mini update" as you call it is a patch file, which means it needs a non modified system in order to be applied properly.
The easiest way to update is to use Samsung Smart Switch then root again.
Hello,
I've a rooted S5 and I'like to use the OTA feature to update it.
When I try it, I receive a message saying that my phone has been modified in an unauthorized way...
How can I update via OTA, even if I lose my root access?
(after update I can always re root using odin
Thanks

if you have an aftermarket recovery, you wont get OTA updates. Why do you want the OTA anyways?
Hi youdoofus ,
Thanks for your reply.
I just tink that OTA updates are the most recent that my service provider has.
So, I d'like to update to that version...
But if you can explain to me why I it should not be done, I apreciate it.
Thanks
Shall I ignore it or install it? Will the phone lose root with the small patch?
Wrong forum !
If you talk about update like fingerprint update... the answer is no, you can update.
BTW : root break the OTA update, so you wont receive update from samsung anymore
Confirmed. You are right.

Yes, it does break the OTA update but only if the Phone Status appears as Unofficial/Custom under Settings > About Device > Status. Rooting sets your Knox counter to 1 and changes the Phone Status to Unofficial/Custom. Correct me if I'm wrong but if you flash the custom firmware of the device using Odin, you can get the Phone Status to Official again but the Knox will not get reset. That way, you can get the OTA update but still not access the secured apps like Samsung Pay or so on.
