Sorry if this is a newbie question, but if I root my Galaxy Note 3 (N9005, Vodafone Australia), will it still get OTA updates?
I ask because I used to have a HTC Desire HD, and after rooting and installing Cyanogenmod, I tried to put the Nandroid backup of the stock rom back on, which was fine but for some reason wouldn't install the OTA updates. It would tell me there was an update and download it, but would fail to install.
Thanks!

If it does install you will loose root... But I believe if the system is found to be custom in any way it will fail on install of OTA or will actually tell you that the phone has been modified and no updates available for you

Thanks for the reply. Just out of curiosity about the HTC Desire HD that has since been given to a less tech-savvy relative, is there a way to unroot so the OTA update will work??
I rooted my N3 3 days after buying and then tried to get an OTA update. It didn't download first, as my phone was set to custom. After using Wanam's setting to "reset" the custom status, I could download the OTA update but couldn't install it.
Basically, with root you can still check if there's an official update available, but you can't install.

Anyone know how it actually tells if the phone has been rooted? Surely there's a way to reset it to unrooted/non-custom state so OTA updates work again...

The boot loader and the os itself scan for certain things such as modified kernel/recovery or installation of busy box.
The Samsung's aren't so bad, you can just flash back the stock rom and factory reset to start getting ota updates again. On htc phones you have to unlock the boot loader to root and its a one way process. Once unlocked you can never get ota updates again.

i have the same problem here, i would like to update MK2 but i cant.
used wanam exposed for fake > failed @ installation.
do i have to unroot or factory reset for update?
i dont want to install a cwm at the moment.
thx
Once you have rooted, the system partition has been modified so Samsung doesnot allow you to OTA update. It checks MD5hash for the consistency. Factory reset doesn't help because it only format userdata partition.
If you r rooted, better go to sammobile.com, download the latest firmware version, copy it to sdcard and flash via Mobile Odin Pro. This way you can keep the old bootloader so you can fallback (downgrade) to the older firmware later.
Thank you.
what is when i tripped the knox count?
Its 0x1 now. I was on new bootloader before.

I need to keep Knox at 0x0.
There must be a way of updating.
A couple of people have mentioned downloading from SamMobile and flashing back to stock. If I do this, what happens to twrp?
If twrp stays, I don't want it conflicting with a non-rooted phone (due to flashing stock) and being bricked
U can get upgrade with kiss not OTA but u must install wanamp exposed n change system into official. Its work on rooted stock rom.

I have a buyer (not sure about selling yet) for my Verizon note 3 be he wants the phone stock and updated to vzw latest official 4.4
I am (kingo) rooted 4.3 jellybean running hyperdrive 7 in slot 1 and stock rooted with updater frozen in slot 0.
What is the easiest way to totally unroot then accept the vzw 4.4 update?
Some have suggested supersu unroot but others have said they were unable to boot into stock rom (or any rom) after using supersu unroot.
Thanks

Make sure to backup your data first, so you can transfer it to your new phone.
Has anyone here tried supersu unroot to do it?

I'm confused, can someone explain to me if only Root cancelling the updates, I want to stay with rom stock but to do Root..
thanks in advance.
my device is note 4 n-910f
generally speaking, rooted phones do NOT get ota updates..
Yes rooting will prevent you from installing an ota updates. You would have to wait until either a flash able zip of the ota is made or a custom ROM is made that includes the ota update.

Yes once rooted you will not be able to OTA update.
But you can always update to the latest firmware using Odin.
Open Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Firmware Browser' to download stock firmware for your device and flash via Odin.
Should be able to update from KIES but root may go.
Note 4
You can update from Kies and then re-root

Go to sammobile and download a firmware for you variant, use ODIN to flash it from your PC.

I would recommend wiping your data before you flash your firmware again since you are rooted.
Oh man -,- i think it's possible with not losing my data

Hello all,
I found out that i CAN get ota update even when rooted by hiding status with WANAM XPOSED.
Is there any risk or downside in OTA updating my galaxy 3 4.3 instead of full flashing using ODIN?
Respect!

1. The "hiding status" is for that. It change the CUSTOM STATUS (the STATUS change when you root ur device) to OFFICIAL STATUS. You receive the OTA updates for that.
2. You can try to update via OTA if your KNOX: 0x1. Use ODIN without risk if your KNOX:0x0 for avoid problems.
