Hi everybody !
Au said in the title, i'd like to know wether rooting the device prevent us to do OTA updates or not.
Thx !

Not sure, I don't think it should.
No, just rooting will not prevent you from getting OTA updates, just don't change the bootloader. However when and if you get an OTA update, it might remove the root.
So I have rooted and flashed twrp recovery. Does this change my bootloader?

You will need to flash the stock firmware file to go back to stock.
But I'm still on stock firmware, I just rooted and flashed twrp, I haven't flashed any roms. Shouldn't I still be able to get the ota?
And with IO Root, which is the way i rooted my phone, doesn't it bypass the bootloader and leave it locked?

I suggest you should download the latest firmware kdz file and flash via flashtool. You cannot update over the OTA. My friends have get hard brick their phones because they have rooted and flashed TWRP. Be careful,
Well on Sprint it worked fine. Can you link me to the file? And is getting back to stock the same?
The Sprint forum doesn't have a thread on returning to stock

Are you on 100% stock MK2 unrooted? If you are on a custom ROM or have a custom recovery with root it will not install the zip as it checks to see if your phone has any modified files.

The phone isnt rooted and it has the stock recovery, as u said how can i check if there are some modified files?

Did you delete, froze any apps that came with the phone? Did you install hotspot or anything that modified the system?

If you really want to update to kit kat then just odin mk2 .tar and do a fresh install again and just try the download again.

You won't lose your data. A stock tar install does not erase data unless you do a factory reset.
Ok then i will have to wait for the update.zip from Sammobile firmware

I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 rooted. I tried to flash a custom recovery with Rom Manager, Rom installer, Safestrap and Odin in that order. All my attempts failed because the boot loader is locked and now the stock recovery its gone. My question is: If I flash a stock ROM like out of the box (NB1 OTA) in ODIN that return my phone back to original settings and with the stock recovery too? Thanks in advance!!!
Yes, your only Odin right now is to flash the full Odin tar file

No you can't go backwards with bootloaders. I assume since you weren't able to do custom recovery you're on a newer firmware nc1? If so you can root with towel root then only use safestrap as a means for recovery. But you'll only be able to install touchwiz based roms.

So the last 2 times I have updated ota I have gone into a bootloop. I tried complete wipe then flashing kk modem then pa and pa gapps to only be stuck in another boot loop! At this point I'd just like to be able to get a 4.4 rom. How do I do it without bootlooping? Thanks!
Here's my software info!

Download a 4.4 ROM from here, copy it to your phone, then flash it in recovery.

Use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/d802-bootloader-changer-1-1-jb-kk-lp-t3104380
And then flash a KitKat baseband then you can install KitKat Roms.

Possibly, download twrp from blastgator it is bumped and doesn't need loki signature.

If you really want to go on a KitKat ROM you will have to use the tot method to get to stock KitKat and then root your phone using stumproot/towelroot. Then use autorec for KitKat to install recovery then update recovery with blastgator twrp then install KitKat baseband then you can flash your KitKat ROM. Make sure to do wipe before installing new rom

In all honesty, if the method I have provided has not worked then flash back to stock KitKat and follow the guide I typed above.
