From my experience, if you root your phone, and do NOT flash a new rom, then you will receive OTA updates, but unless you enable OTA survival, you will lose root after an OTA upgrade.
If you want OTA updates, root the stock rom without installing a new rom.
Also can someone tell me if I install stock rom with odin,I will be able to receive updates?.Ive knox 0×1

I forgot about that....you do need the stock recovery. I have done an OTA on my S4 with root though... you just can't have a custom recovery.

Ota Updates are only factory to be able to install the 3e recovery rooted or non-rooted.
Just make sure your system status is official not custom , u can modify that through wanam xposed
And if you firmware is not the same original region , go to /efs/imei/mps_code.dat , and change it to the current firmware region

It isn't stock binary status that is needed, but the stock 3e recovery is. Custom recoveries do not have the ability to do an OTA upgrade.

Hi guys, I recently flashed the latest update on my i9500 (the one that enables you to move apps to sd) I downloaded the update and flashed it using Odin. But I can no longer do an OTA update, whenever I check it says something like "Device is modified unable to update". It also says under device status as "Custom". BTw, I completely wiped my device but the flashed update still remains. I rooted BTw and using persues kernel if it matters.

Go to sammobile.com and find the firmware of your region and flash it.
Sent from my GT-I9500
Did you used to be rooted before you flashed the update with Odin?
In that case you'll probably have to re-root your device, run Triangle Away by chainfire to reset the counter and then flash the latest official firmware from sammobile. That ought to get you back to official status.

Worth a shot. It'd be interesting to see if it's even increased the counter. But.. if the right firmware isn't available on sammobile yet.. what'd you flash? And where did you get it?
Hi,
There is no Triangle Away for the i9500.
Once you root it ,there is no way to get it back to "Official"
Hence, you cannot get OTA
To get the firmware you want,look HERE

Djembey has an official status mod that u can use to stay rooted but have official status. I have done this on the latest rom for I9500, and it works. My device and binary status are still official, OTA works, and I am rooted.. You may need to flash the mod a couple of times and factory reset/wipe cache, but this works 100%.

Yes, thats true. My understanding is that using triangle away may become relevant when you want to return your phone to Samsung for warranty, but until then this method works perfectly for making the phone run almost like a stock unrooted phone.
I own a UK sim free SD800.
If i root it, and install Viper audio for example, can I still install the OTA updates that Samsung releases now and then, or will it screw things up rooted?
Thanks.

You'll have to flash new firmware via Odin and then root again. Sammobile.com is a good place to look for new released stock firmware.

Or you can wait for Chainfire to update Mobile Odin Pro to be compatible with the GN3.
Then you'll be able to flash the updated firmware directly from your GN3, and keep both data and root.

You can't. You screwed yourself.
Not a big deal mate, there's no OTA update yet for N7100 if you are on 4.3 already, and by the time there will be - you can sell your device... Anyway, you are holding almost two year old samsung and want it to be future proof with official OTA updates, I doubt there will be many of them...
In this case, the best way you can do is to reset flash counter using Triangle Away and to reflash your current stock ROM by Mobile Odin, after that you can receive OTA. All app and data will be saved, root will be lost (you can reroot again later).
why ota
why you want ota ? you must be rooted ...then flash custom roms..they are much better than any samsung stock rom..:angel::good:

Hi Ninomaxx,
The Knox 0x1 that you see doesn't lock or block you from doing anything. It's only there to tell the carrier/manufacturer that you have modified your software, thus losing your warranty. Other than that, it doesn't do anything else. To root your device, I suggest you search the forums, you'll find a guide, I'm sure.

Bootloader is "upgraded" when you flash stock 4.4 over 4.3.
And your warranty doesnt necessarily get voided because, if youre in the EU, statutory law dictates that service centres have to prove that the malfunction was directly caused by us changing or modifying system software. This is statutory law in the EU only. See here https://fsfe.org/freesoftware/legal/flashingdevices.en.html

If the rom youre on supports OTA then yes. official samsung updates wont work as they detect the system status.

So The "System status" change to Custom after I root my device????? :good:

Correct. Then you wont receive official samsung updates. However, if you switch roms then devs will update their base as and when a new base becomes available. So in heinsight you're not really missing out on anything because you're getting the update plus more so I guess in this case (if you root) you get more for your money

Try this :
1. Odin back to original stock (if you're already on stock, ignore this step)
2. Odin to root your device (TowelRoot or Root de la Vega)
3. Install Xposed Framework + Wanam Xposed, then in "Security hack" choose "Fake system status" (this will change your OS to "Official")
4. Reboot twice, Enable SuperSu Pro, check the Survival Mode option
5. Install the OTA update.
6. Disable Survival Mode in SuperSu Pro.
This should get you OTA updates AND root. Enjoy
Let me know how it went.
I am on stock rooted with TR and superSU with PRO activate and survival mode on...
I had OTA update but get error after 25% and reboot.
I still have root but no upgrade..
superSU askes me to deactivate KNOX.. ???

say yes to removal of knox and also try apps like ota root keeper
sometimes after enabling survuval mode in super su results in ota failure cos sometimes it happens that you remove some system apps after rooting { which i am sure you also have done } and the update consist of files for those uninstalled apps then you get such error
I have installed ota root keeper now.
in status it shows root acces.
In superSU i have unticked ota survival.
Tryed again to install update from ota but still have error.??

Why don`t you just flash the new updated rom with Mobile Odin Pro and enable Everroot and the other 2 options and keep root and forget about these OTA`s. Roms are available at Sammobile.com/firmwares. Just wipe or rename the OTA policy and notifications.

What S5 model do you have mate that MOP is not compatible? If i we`re you i`d forget about OTA`s anyway and just flash the updated rom with (Mobile) Odin. OTA`s suck imo.
To disable OTA`s and notification go to /system/app/FWUpgrade.apk (+odex file) and delete it and in /system/priv-app/FotaClient.apk(+ odex file) and delete it.
Yes, you can use CF Auto Root to root again.

I uninstalled Kies myself, if you accept the OTA it will probably not be installed because you are rooted. I would download the new rom from Sammobile and flash it wirh Odin. Have you tried clearing the data of Mobile Odin Pro because the G900F IS compatible with MOP.
