[Q] Rooted, but can't update firmware? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, so I rooted my phone a while ago, and didn't have any problems with it. However, now, while I'm on 4.3, Android released a new update. I tried downloading this update and installing, but it didn't work. I tried putting it on my sd card and then booting into recovery to install the zip from my SD card on Clockwork Recovery, but that just said (bad) and aborted installation.
How am I supposed to update my phone using the official downloaded update.zip that I have?

I just downloaded Kies3. My region is XEH (Hungary). It says there's a new update. Should I just upgrade my firmware and it should work or is there something special to it?

Make sure ur on KitKat base. Then flash the cwm file from Odin. Untick auto reboot from Odin. After flashing remove battery and place it again. Then go in recovery mode directly via vol+ +power +menu. Then flash the suopersu file and reboot. Then open suppersu app and disable Knox. Then again flash supper su from recovery. None other methods will work in kk for rooting.
Thanks Gung raja. . Successfully Rooted My Phone

A3 2016 cannot check for update?!

Recently I checked for sw update on my new a3 2016 phone and it found some new security updates and it went fine with update.After few days I checked again and it found nothing.Last time I successfuly checked was 11.6.2016 and since then I can no longer check for updates.If I touch the option for manually update check nothing happens.I already tried as suggested by google to change another sim or to wipe cache partition but none of them works.I do not want to factory reset.Any other solution to this problem?I also tried to use kies but its not supported!!??
Any help would be appriciated.Thanks in advance.
Are you rooted?
Supersu will block the security update as it will brick your device otherwise.

Not referring to OTA's. I am referring to security policy updates.
Samsung have been pushing these lately which can soft brick a rooted device.
Oh,ok,i didnt know this,then im sorry.

But... if you flash stock firmware, u will lose data, too, so make a backup with twrp and put it in your PC/OTG pendrive/SD
I think you can solve this problem wipe data and cache from recovery but you will lost your data! so you can try to flash the last firmware of your stock rom via odin maybe it will solve!
EDIT: i didn't read you answer "i don't woant to reset my phone" so flash your stock rom i don't think it reset the phone just flashing the stock rom!

Overdue update on my S8.

My S8 is with android 8 however the last update was in February, (Security Patch is from February 1st) My build number is with the final (XX1CRAP) until today. Could someone tell me if I should receive the update via Ota? Or would it be better to upgrade for ODIN ... on Sammobiles ?? Thanks if anyone can help me.

My question is that I'm afraid I'll have some trouble updating the odin. I did a while ago an update by odin on a note 3 and went wrong. A triangle appeared on the screen and had to be taken to technical assistance. I have all downloaded files here with the newest odin. but I do not know if I update or not.

if you are already on oreo, you can then use the update.zip files posted here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/discussion-oreo-final-t3746561 and just flash from SD Card using the stock recovery.
You dont need to deal with Odin then. I've done my first flash to OREO (CRAP) via odin with full wipe. Then flashed the incremental updates from SD card and nothing went wrong.
Hope this helps.
