Update or not is your choice. I recommend u dont update coz now u can root and flash any android 4.2.2 firmware and still having warranty. If u update ur phone to 4.3 with Kies u will have ur phone updated and with warranty.... but tc coz if u root it u will void ur warranty. If u dont care about it... update ur phone without worries :highfive:

Hi guys, I'm a kinda of novice on android after coming from blackberry, I rooted my I9500 using chainfire auto root and everything worked flawlessly well. I never use triangle away since its not available for the device. Now some new updates are rolling in from Sammy and really love touchwiz so I didn't bother myself with custom roms. I would love to have those updates cos I heard they make the phone really fast and eliminate lagging. When I checked for updates I still get I have the latest firmware. My device status shows official. I didn't do anything to change Dat. If you guys have any idea how to get OTA Plz ur ideas are welcome plus a step by step method of running stock rom via odin is appreciated. Here is a snapshot of my device. Pls guys don't be offended if someone has already post a similar complaint.

First i would check if you have a non knox bootloader. Uf you dont have knox... dont update to 4.3 but root and flash 4.3 rooted rom without knox.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
You lost me lol the only reason I wanna use a custom rom is to get better audio quality.
I think I will leave rooting just in case I mess up thanks anyway lads.

Ok, this is how I understand it, although I could be wrong on some things....
a) 4g on three has nothing to do with your SIM
b) 4g on Three has nothing to do with your ROM (Stock or Custom)
c) Three have not switched on 4g yet and apparently at first it's only four places, so unless your in one of those there really ain't any rush.
.
d) If your on a stock or even custom rom the 4g network setting does not show as an option, As your rooted though you can use an app called phoneinfo from the play store. Using this app you can change your network setting to anything you want.
e) This one I'm not 100% about, Getting 4g on three can only be modem related, you can upgrade your modem(s) to GSM_Modem_XXUEMJ5_and_LTE_Modem_XXUBMH1 without getting Knox.
Please read up about e) as I've spent ages looking for a definitive answer and I think I'm correct, if you find anything else out then get back to me.
.... If anyone else could verify the above that would be great.
Hope this helps a bit ...
Cheers
Three 4G OTA Update on rooted phone
I am in a similar situation, I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 Rooted with Kitkat ROM (Poland) .
I contacted Three UK about the 4G update and asked them to send it to me. I was told that closer to the time I should unroot the phone DL the update and reroot. However I am not sure that would even work for various reasons.
I think that the info mentioned is accurate we just need to establish the correct file for each phone and flash with Odin.
Any further information appreciated.
Today I found out that there is a new update to my phone that is running stock 4.3 rom.
I have only rooted the phone but I can't update it with ota any more.
I only gets a message when I try to do a ota update. "Your device is customized. Update is not possible"
Is this because I have rooted the phone or is it because I have used clean up software that replace system apps with updated version?
How do I make ota working again without losing all my data? I have used triangle away but that was not enough. My device status is still custom. But my counter is now 0.

You can still update through kies.
First aff all i would like to tell you that you cannot ever update a rooted device from the OTA provided by the manufacturer.
So unroot your device and you can surely update after that.

He is running 4.3 and he rooted it ...... Knox 0x1... or maybe I didnt understand the first post . I mean if he void the warranty is a lil stupid lose the time unrooting, then updating by OTA/KIES and rooting it again... if u can flash it with ODIN, no?

That did the trick.
Unrooting and the update via ota did not work for me.
