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

Hi,
I have a Galaxy Tab 2 WiFi version (gt-p5110) from the Netherlands and I am still with JB 4.1.2. Is it normal I didnt get yet the 4.2.2 OTA?
Thanks!
May be 4.4.2 is the next update .. we in india are also stuck with 4.1.2 P3100
Strange, the 4.2.2 update has already rolled out a few weeks ago.
(I'm also from the Netherlands with a P5110)
Is your binary counter zero? (Did you flash something)
(Also; There is a problem with the Email app, Samsung has probaly stopped the rollout)

The tablet is from my mother in law so I don't think she has flashed anything
If Samsung pull it out because it had a bug could explain it.
So if I flash it with idin and a 4.2.2 image then I should forget about getting other OTA true?

If you have root you can reset the binary counter.
As long as your running Samsung firmware and your binary counter is at zero, you are eligible for updates.

Anyone else notice the updated sammy push? These tend to happen prior to fw updates. Mine updated 48 hrs ago, i377m (rogers). Kitkat rumoured this month for s4 cdn. With announcement of it pushing to note devices, id imagine kitkat for s4 is next. Now for my question. Looking for a link or info on update process. Would like to keep root, currently on 4.3 rooted, using supersu pro and wanam to fake official. We able to simply pull update ota? I always used odin to flash, but since knox with 4.3,not sure. My knox is 0x0, so looking for a knox safe update process, if one even exists yet.

So I'm new to Samsung (switched from HTC One to Nexus 5 (2013) to Galaxy S5 today). I used Chainfire's Odin tool to root (was easy enough), but now I'm getting a notification telling me there is an update, which because my phone is "modified" I can't run. I downloaded the Kies3 application and this is the info I'm getting:
Current firmware version : PDA:NC9 / CSC:NC6 / PHONE:NC9 (DBT)
Latest firmware version : PDA:NCE / CSC:NC7 / PHONE:NCE (DBT)
Can I update or do I run the risk of bricking? Or will I just lose root? Will the root tool work after this upgrade? Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
A guy on a T-Mobile S5 subforum says he took the update and then rooted with Chainfire afterwards.
He was not rooted prior to the update though.
did it work?
because i had a problem with it

I finally bit the bullet and just did it, update went fine using Kies and then I re-rooted and installed custom recovery...everything seems fine. The only thing that blows my mind is the bloatware on this monster..."Android optimizing....429 apps" !!!
Hi guys,
I have the G900F model and I'd like to root for two main reasons: de-bloat and recover SMS/MMS form my old phone (maybe this can be done without root but I don't know such app). It has stock ROM - ANE2 (CSC is AND1), knox is 0x0 and the device status is Official. OTA is pending but I haven't installed it yet. I found the towelroot thread and I'm clear how to root it without tripping knox. Several users also reported that device status remains Official using this root method. So far so good. What I couldn't find was whether after rooting I'll be able to update via OTA, or do I have to go the Odin way. In addition, will the root remain after OTA (if answer to previous question is Yes)? According to SamMobile the October update is ANH6 (CSC ANH2). It says it's still 4.4.2 so I wonder if there is a point in updating anyway. My goal is to have the latest official firmware with root. TIA

Maybe you must unroot your phone to get latest firmware..
Next if you got it.. Root again your phone..

That's the thing though - if I update now I'm not sure if I'll be able to root again without any consequences. I'm not rooted at the moment so I can accept the OTA anytime. As I said in OP - I'm not even sure if the update is worth it. I read in some threads that the main purpose of the update was to patch the exploit used by towelroot on older firmwares.

You can root your phone again with framaroot etc. As same function..
The beginning of the framaroot OP states:
"!! Important !!
Success with this application void warranty on your device."
I also don't see the Galaxy S5 in the supported devices list.

If not using framaroot.. You can use another root installer..
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
