Im still with UBMI7 firmware in my n9005 Spanish version. Im rooted and knox count already at 0x1.
Is there any way that i can update to j7 firmware without having to install from scratch the whole firmware?? I already have tweaked a lot the phone and its great, but start again.....
Any ideas?? Is it possible to unroot and receive OTA updates and root again??
Thank you

Hey guys
I have a Galaxy note 3 with Rogers here in Canada (SM-N900W8) and I know there has been 2 updates released (MJ1 and MJ4) but I havent been able to update over the air because my phone is rooted and flagged and my knox trigger is flagged as well.
Using Wanam xposed I have my status set to official and I can download the new update but the installation will fail.
Anyway so I connected my phone to KIES and it says I can update, however before I update it says if my phone is rooted its possible I can brick my phone.
So my questions are, 2 install these updates (MJ1 and MJ4), will it brick my phone? If it doesnt will I lose my root? Can I reroot on these latest firmwares and lastly is there reasons why maybe I should stay at my current firmware?
Sorry if this has been asked before. Ive tried searching and I didnt have much luck
Thanks

Short answer is NO.
I updated mine via KIES to MJ7 (I'm on the N9005) - while rooted. KIES says you "may" encounter problems but mine was fine and I re-rooted with ease (already tripped KNOX so no worry there for me) _- as for your firmware on the N900W8 - not sure if you can root with the latest firmware or not personally
Hello
I recently got my S4 i9505. I'm planning to root it
I have Android version 4.3
I used to flash costum roms on my s2 but I'm not really planning to do much flashing on my S4. not soon anyway
So as I connected the phone to Kies to make sure the drivers were downloaded so I can proceed with rooting
Firmware update popped up
I'm not sure what the best option for me now.
Should I root now and then I'd be able to flash a costume KK rom? and are there any stable ones that are better than the stock?
Can I use kies to update my rooted phone?
Maybe I should stick with JB 4.3? Which one is better 4.3 or 4.4.2?
I remember facing some issues when I update my s2 back. So I searched for the KK Update for the s4 and some people weren't so happy with their KK update
I know that doesn't represent the majority but still it could happen to me
So I confused myself
What is your advice to me?
sorry for the long post
Also I have an extra question What is KNOX? and do I need it?

First, the most problems in 4.4.2 are fixed, so if you flash the officical, latest firmware of your country you shouldn't have any problem.
An important thing: if you flash a custom rom, your warranty will be set 0x1, that means, you lost your garanty if you flash a custom rom, that's the so called KNOX. You can use knox like a second system on your phone, with all secure data in it, you can only access with a passwort and all datas are locked without this passwort.
Root your phone after the software update if you want to root it.

Hi Mike, search the forums before asking any questions. Search google. Don't expect everyone to do your job for you. Post your threads in the right section. This question has been asked and answered a million times and you'd know this if you took 5 minutes to search a little bit.
Here's your answer https://www.reddit.com/r/galaxys5/comments/2ubsbs/guide_rooted_android_50_for_the_international/
out of curiosity, why dont you want to trip knox flag
"This question has been asked a million times and you'd know this if you took 5 minutes of your precious time to search a little bit."

What model do you have? Find out in phone settings in system / phone info. Sm-g900a has locked bootloader. I think verizon's phone also has a locked bootloader.
The link I gave you shows how to upgrade to lollipop, root it and keep knox 0x0.
Isn't that what you're looking for?

my bad, you did. 900f has an unlocked bootloader. when you upgrade to stock lollipop through OTA or Kies (or odin) it already includes bootloader and modem. When you do it the way described in that reddit link you flash the lollipop firmware, modem and bootloader separately. Apparently that method of updating needs it to be done so.
Honestly I have Knox 0x1 so I never cared for those methods, btw if you live in Germany then there's no need to care about Knox. In EU we're allowed to flash whatever we want and the guarantee stays intact even if you have Knox 0x1
ps. yes =p

Honestly, I don't know. That reddit link I gave you, I haven't read the guide myself. I just skimmed though it to be sure it was real but I don't know the details of it. Yes all G900Fs have an unlocked bootloader. :good:

Do you mean ota stock firmware notification? If yes then you will have it if Knox is still 0x0 if Knox however is 0x1 you will no longer be able to update via ota.
If you want to upgrade from KitKat to lollipop you must wipe data from recovery to avoid any issues. It is also not recommended by me to use titanium backup to restore apps because some might not be compatible with lollipop yet or some of the app data made for KitKat may have a conflict with lollipop system, however lots of apps have compatibility with lollipop and there is a chance you will have no issues at all when using titanium backup. Even if I said I don't recommend restoring data after such a major upgrade I do recommend having a backup whether it's with titanium backup or nandroid etc because you're able to restore apps one by one and make sure that what you restore won't be problematic.
Edit - if you update with flashfire app, there is an option to keep root when flashing from rooted KitKat to lollipop and users have reported that that feature does work for them (I personally haven't tried it).

Hi Guys,
im new to the Samsung World. I bought a S5 (G900F) with Lollipop 5.0. Today i rooted it with CF-Autoroot, installed rootchecker and so far everything is fine.
When i go to the Systemsettings now, to Softwareupdates and check for updates, there is an error now. It says, that the firmware was changed not authorized or something like that.
What does that mean? Am i still able to Update to Marshmallow, once it comes out? How can i do this? A few days ago, i received a Securityupdate via OTA. Is this possible in the future with this root? If not, how can i do it or how can i get back to stock?
Thx
Questions you should have asked before rooting really
But you're OK, the G900F is easy enough to get OTA working again, just flash another stock ROM over the top, and you'll be back to "official" status and able to receive updates OTA
sammobile .com for ROMs and ODIN that you use to flash them
Thx for your answer. I don't need OTA as long as i am able to update to Android 6 somehow. Is it still poossible to update via Kies 3 ? Am i also able to update the Securityupdates via Kies?
If so, im fine with that.
thx
Hello everybody. I bought Samsung FE and it's with android 7.0 and it's roote. I would like to get it working with oreo. I cannot find any rom with oreo for rooted devices. Also im not sure about version of this Samsung. Model is SM-N935F but modem version is N935SKSU4BRL1 and version NRD90M.N935FXXU1AQI5_XDAVN_V6. I will be thankful for any help to upgrade to 8.0 or un-root with a correct stock ROM to enable OTA again.

I know this is late but just go to sammobile and download the oreo firmware and flash with Odin. This will factory reset your phone and get rid of root

Same answer but wanted to note that OTA won't be available for you since knox is tripped.
So you need to manually flash whatever version you want.
Not true. Knox is tripped on my device as well as my 20 ultra. Factory reset allows you to get ota if you choose to do it that way.

Sorry, i mistook tripping knox with the rom status, an official rom will have "official" status so ota should work, unlike "custom" status where ota doesn't work.
