Hey guys. So basically I rooted my phone using root de la vega method keeping my knox at 0x0. I checked for new ota update and there seems to be a new one available. So my question is if I download and install the latest ota, will I lose my root? And will that also trip knox? Should I just repeat root de la vega with newer firmware? Im confused. ....

Which firmware are you in currently?
If you have rooted your phone, I strongly suggest you to stay away from OTA as it will cause issue to your phone. If you want to keep root and updated to the latest firmware, and if you are still using MJ1 or MJ3 firmware, you can try the method in the following thread

I used that method to update from MJ1 to MJ7 via MOP with root retain.

Hi there,
I managed to perform root on this build yesterday, I followed the Chainfire tool / exploit, but it only worked after I downloaded SuperSU from the market (latest pro version) before it was giving a "no su binary present"
I have knox 0x01 I havent tried to downgrade it yet...
cheers

You can´t downgrade to a stock knox disabled firmware and if you root/flash a custom rom, you knox counter will be set to 0x1.
I updated OTA,but not via Kies
So still I have new bootloader? :/

I have upgraded from stock MJ3 to MJ6 BTU using Odin
Due to some instability I tried to revert and flash my MJ3 stock. It failed 3 times. I resigned and flashed MJ6 again and that went well.
Why can't I downgrade to MJ3??

Can't you flash CF autoroot and CWM recovery?? I can, by pc-Odin at least..
Are you sure it is impossible to revert to MJ3?
Can anyone explane the issue?

i think changed bootloader might be an issue..
otherwise it should work but somehow it doesnt !!!
So I have a question: as the title states, I'm currently running stock but rooted MJ7 and would like to update to the newest update. Do I have to Odin back to 100% stock MJ7 and then take the update to MJE or can I just enable root survival in SU and take the OTA as is? Thanks in advance!

You can try survival mode. If it doesn't work you can odin the MJE update and then re-root with Kingo.

Quick question, I haven't updated to MJE because I don't feel like having to re set up my phone. Is Odin back to stock rom then updating to MJE going to cause me to lose all my data again? I know using kingo won't.

What you want to do first is find the MJE Odin flashable STOCK build over in the VZW development section. Flash that which will bring you to current MJE non rooted.
Then google Kingo root to root rather than Root de la Vega(obsolete now for MJE)

You only have to flash the MJE and not any other ones first, just straight MJE flash. But yeah it will wipe everything including your internal SD card, so be sure to back that up first
Hi all. Have N9005 with MJ7 XME unit. Rooted with de LA Vega since MJ1.
I accidentally installed a 4.51MB update via OTA and have lost my root access.
Question, how can I get root access back without tripping Knox and/or downgrading to MJ1.
Appreciate any assistance relevant to the problem I have.
Thanks.

How can you OTA update if your phone has been rooted.
BTW I affraid that you can not downgrade to MJ1 as well as get root without tripping Knox atm.
you can't root without trip knox.
afaik ota is possible if he using wanam to set fake status to official.
At this point, can I still run de la vega? On an MJ7 image I downloaded?

The ONLY safe way to upgrade was with MOP... Since you did it the Samsung way you are now stuck with the updated bootloader and no way to root without tripping Knox...
How you didn't know this is beyond me since it's all over the forum....
Thanks all for the replies. My loss then for not thronging the threads.

Ok you cannot root without tripping knox now.
As I mentioned, can I safely upgrade firmware without loosig root access? Currently It is stock from the launch time?

I assume you still have knox 0x0?
Before doing anything check your current version and read the Mobile Odin Pro thread, read the first half if you are on older stock:

or read the latest part if you are on latest 4.3 and want to go to 4.4.2:
