Problem installing OTA update

Been trying to install update for a while and haven't been successful so far.
I realized it was from being rooted and a unlocked bootloader. So I removed the root and relocked the bootloader and I go to apply update and it is still not working. So I try to force the update by clearing cache and data in the google services app and that still is a no go.
That is when i noticed something.
Android Version is 4.2.2
Baseband is I9505GUEUBMH5
Build is JDQ39.I9505GUEUAMFD
So somehow my Android Version and Build correspond but my baseband says its the latest 4.3..
How do i fix this so i can get 4.3?
EDIT: I Even tried downloading 4.3 update and doing it manually and it fails on me.
Can I use the 4.3 restore with Odin and get it working?
This One
no one?
Bump
Bump again..
can no one help?
!!!!!!!!!!
Have you tried to odin it?

Cannot update via OTA

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?

[Q] NG2 Update, Camera App & Hotspot Mod

Hello, I´m on stock rooted NAE. Two days ago I received the NG2 update via OTA. I thought this was weird because you´re not supposed to get updates via OTA if you are rooted. Anyway, today I tried to install the update and I got an error during the installation. My phone got restarted and I´m apparently still rooted.
So I have a couple questions...
1) Why did I get the OTA update if I´m rooted?
2) How do you install the NG2 update on a rooted device? I guess you have to run the NG2 tar file via ODIN and then, use the Chainfire root method. Am I right?
3) Does anyone have the mod camera app? I would love to have it.
4) How do I get free hotspot functionality on the NG2 rooted device?
Thank you so much! Any help will be appreciated.

1. If your stock you will always get a firmware update. Unless on another custom rom ex. Aosp.
2. You are correct sir.

I was also NAE rooted and got the OTA NG2 update... I think even rooted devices can downloaded the OTA update... BUT... The rooted or custom ROM or recovery couldn't install this update.
So the update can be downloaded but not installed.
So I pulled the OTA update and returned to the stock status and installed the update normally.

Phone needs to be completely stock before you can run the update. The new plans offer HOTSPOT for free. This will be included in your monthly plan at no extra cost.

5.1 OTA upgrade error

I am on 5.0.1 rooted with stock ROM and stock kernel. I recently got 5.1 upgrade notification.
After downloading the data and restarting the phone, it started installing updates and after a while it showed "error" and stopped.
Now I m on 5.0.1 with no 5.1 upgrade notice.
What is wrong and what should I do for this?
Thank you.
Do I need to unroot? I am on stock kernel and ROM.

Yes, you need to unroot before you can apply the OTA upgrade. Look for the Nexus Root Toolkit, and it should be able to clean up for you.
But prior I didn't need to unroot to upgrade anytime! To upgrade JB to KK or KK to LP, I didn't unroot before installation.
you need stock recovery to update via OTA
Yeah I was on pure stock. Stock ROM kernel and recovery.
Btw, I unrooted my phone with simply unroot and then OTA update went well.
So now I am on stock 5.1 unrooted.
Thank u all.
i have troubles as well. i unrooted, installed stock recovery (via n4 toolkit) and tryed to install. it takes longer then before but i stell get an error. SuperSU is gone in my app drawer.. any other help?
PS: i am on stock rom 5.0.1
i tryed to use sideload ADB update. it says: "/system/bin/app_process32" has unexpected contents. Error in sideload/package.zip. Status 7
any tipps?

OTA update problem with PRA-LX1C432B198-FULL patch

Hi,
My phone is on B196 fw, rooted, TWRP w/o problem. OTA update B198 just appear as FW update notification. I've flashed back to stock Recovery (B170) and rebooted. When I've tried the OTA B198, phone fails using the 330 MB patch and switches to the download of the FULL version. After downloading the file, I'm getting checksum error every time I try so I can't perform the OTA update. What I'm doing wrong? Do I really need stock Recovery B196 for doing this OTA update?
Thanx in advance for any help.
