Hello. I have a question:
I made all the procedure to optain root, as mentioned in other threads. I downgradet to 534, then applied toot, made root survival mode in supersu, then updated to 257. All successfully, and everything works great.
Now i have the message: update 290 available. I made the download, tried to install, but it interrupts very soon, and after reboot a message appears: "update failed, please try again later"
Is it because i have the "survival" option in supersu? Should i check it off (the survivial option in supersu!) Will i loose supersu after update?
Is there a way to make the update, whitout loosing root? Or is there something else i am mistaken?
Thanks, for every answer.
Just try NUT's method, you will get full rooted .290
U mad bro?
Wrong section. I think this thread should be in QA.
BTW. follow this instruction http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2572988 and do not worry about updates if you will be on .290

I have a rooted d802 on 4.2.2 (80210e-eur-xx).
When I try to install the update it attempts to install, then gives an error code in the "please don't turn off your phone during update" screen and reboots, telling me that it suspects root and can't install the update
I was under the impression that this should work and specifically chose Ota to keep root with the survival mode

Experienced the same issue. i had to flash my phone back to original firmware and do the OTA update. Flashing removed the root and enabled me to OTA kitkat upgrade.

If you have modified anything like removing/freezing bloatware, xposed framework, or modified anything in the system it will suspect your phone of rooting

Hi,
is it possible to unroot from Towel root using the option in Supersu and then get OTA Updates again?
could I just do this every once in a while and then simply towel root again?
thanks for clarifying that for me.
no one?

Hi. I have experience with that.
First, try Wanam Xposed to fake official status. If you want to keep root, force OTA survival in SuperSU (requires donation package for that, though. You can let it be, but you will have to root via recovery later).
Reboot and download the update. If you have removed too many system packages (bloatware too, sadly), the update may fail. In that case, check /cache/recovery/ for log file and see what went wrong (I guess it's the correct location, I don't remember).
Most likely, it's some package checksum mismatch, in that case you will have to flash via Odin. Which means no OTA for you. If you reached so far, you can aswell do a clean install.
My device is D6503. I had stock .314 rooted rom with locked bootloader. I updated via OTA to .167 and root remained except system partition write.
For this SuperSu was moved to system partition before update and also Survival mode was swithced on!
Another useful information is that if you do the SD Card fix on .314 it will remain after the update, so still all apps will be able to write on SD.
I was on Hungarian T-mobil .314 fw, unbranded phone.
UPDATE:
If you run the RIC killer from below, you will be able to mount system rw:
RIC killer
You lose no data during the update, even Xposed moduls works like before.
I thought this can be an useful information for everyone, if not moderators can delete the thread.
Which stock 314 firmware did you have before? Canada / USA stock 314 doesn't let you do ota, it forces you to use pcc for the update and you lose root.

Hungarian T-mobil, but the phone is unbranded. Also it is important to not have custom recovery installed, because then OTA won't install. You can only root if you want to be able to update via OTA in the future.

Hmm.. So flash a stock 314 fw (Hungarian tmobile confirmed) , root but don't install custom recovery, then do ota and it will preserve root? Can you install a custom recovery afterwards?

I'm not fully sure because you lose system partition write access after the OTA, so this have to be checked by someone. I don't install custom recovery because SD card fix and Xposed is all I need and I want to keep the possibility to use OTA updates in the future. I don't like when I have to reinstall everything and set my preferences again if I want to have a new fw with root, without exploit.
If someone checks this I will add the result to the first post.
Did anyone else duplicate this method?

I did another similar way: created my own personal rooted zip file and flashed. I loosed access to mount system..
Hope someone can fix it.

Yes someone in the thinktank thread did the same. So it seems like if you can do OTA and switch on Survival mode it works.
Yes you can, but you won't be able to mount r/w system untill devs find a kernel xploit to make it adbd insecure.
hi mates
more information would be of much more help, please :good:

Hello!
I had previously rooted my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 using towelroot and everything was fine. However, I recently received an alert from AT&T stating that a new update was available. I currently have 4.4.2 and from this forum, it sounds like the update was for 4.4.4.
I went to download and install the update, but when I did so, the update failed and my root was removed. I cannot reroot using towelroot nor can I get the update to complete, it just resets at about 25%.
I'd like to install the update successfully and possibly reroot, although root is a lesser priority. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this problem?
Thank you.
Do you have a recovery installed? Just flash the SuperSU from recovery, reboot and install binaries. Problem solved.

The process is lil bit costly. I was all afternoon looking for it . I think this is the solution:
1. There is no official firmware file for NC1. You will have to flash the NB1 file first then apply the update to NC1: HERE
2. You can root your phone and have the latest update for your device. How? Follow this GUIDE.
3. Enjoy
It's easier for my device, I guess. If I flash a rom that doesn't have root access, I just flash the SuperSU zip in recovery and reboot. Unlocked bootloaders make it sooo easy to mess with the phone

and I was able to update to 4.4.4 successfully. I haven't tried to root my phone but I'm not sure if I really want to so everything seems resolved.
I have CWM installed, but I am running stock, no root. I got the 5.0.2 update today and told it to apply. Didn't pay close enough attention on reboot, was asked something about applying something in recover and don't remember if I said yes or no, then prompted for adding root (both of those were in CWM Recovery) and I know I said no to root. After the reboot I was still running 4.4.4.
So I guess I am ready to just manually download and install. Can anyone help me make sure which thread I should be looking at for instructions? I just feel like I have looked at everything and am not confident I am doing the right things. Can I just download the image linked in the Stock OTA URLs thread, then install from recovery?
Installed CWM without Root? :/
