Hello,
I've got a new I9506 with 4.2.2 pre installed.
Prior to rooting it with this How-To (thanks for that) I downloaded the presented 4.3 OTA update.
Now my device is rooted and has the update ready.
It is bugging me all the time if i'd like to do the update.
Before I'd do that I would have four questions about what would happen:
1.) Will it even work?
2.) Will the device still be rooted?
3.) Will the KNOX bit stay untriggered?
4.) How do I get rid of the notification for the update, if I don't want to update?
Thanks in advance for any information.
1) You downloaded the update but unique way for install it is via STOCK RECOVERY coz u are rooted.
2) No. Your phone make factory reset when u install a update.
3) In theory yes. Its better unroot ur phone before apply the update avoid problems.
4) Deleting some apps of system/app with root explorer:
LocalFOTA.apk
SyncmIDM.apk
SyncmIDS.apk
Thanks mate,
bottomline I could unroot and update with stock recovery or flash the stock 4.3 directly.
But if I want to root 4.3 afterwards i would trigger the KNOX bit anyway, right?
Regarding the files: Will try to find them, thanks!

I have rooted my G2(D802) in stock rom.
Will I still receive Official OTA update?
1. you will, but the device will refuse to install it because it's rooted
2. you will, the device will install it and your phone will only root to recovery (if you have custom recovery)
those are the only scenarios I know of.

Yes the update can sill show up and after ignoring it a couple of times it will force itself to install and either a)if you have custom recovery you will bootloop and if you were using twrp there is a way to remove update or you will need to go Back to stock, b)if you have modified system, installed xposed or removed bloat it will refuse to install because those are things that can only be done with root and so will give message won't update because it's suspected of rooting and there are ways to make it so that it won't update but I don't remember

Hi! I like to make some quick questions about root this phone...
- What is the easiest and safest way to root the S5?
- If I root my phone I will not be able to update the stock rom via OTA anymore?
- If I have a problem with phone and have to send it to the technical assistance, unrooot is possible?
Thanks in advance!

- TowelRoot, but you have to be on NE2 firmware or older. If you have the NG2 firmware you need to downgrade to NE2.
- Not if you installed supersU as a system app, if not yes and if you have superSU Pro installed and enabled survival mode you keep root after an OTA
- Yes, unroot from within the superSU app, flash a stock firmware and data factory reset and after that your warranty is restored (at the moment anyway).
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 used towel root to root my S4, and I somehow allowed an auto update, which downloaded the updated, tried to install but failed. But I lost my root.
I am running 4.4.2 - Kitkat right?
So I don't have root, and I cannot update my phone - Is it possible for me to root it again? If so is there a link to instructions?
Thanks in advance, the DoridForums people sent me here -

I dunno what you are running.
1. You can take a look in your Settings - About device (Pic attached).
2. Try again Towel Root if you still running android 4.4.2 for root again your device.
3. Tell us how it works.
* You can download OTA udpates but you can't install them when you are rooted. Root your device modify system. It changes of OFFICIAL to CUSTOM. OTA detects it and give you a error when you try to install the update.
Ok attached is my about phone info -
I just tried towel root again, and it says this phone is not currently supported. So again, thought I would see what my easy options might be.
I can't post an image or links, Android version says 4.4.2 - If that's what you need? If not let me know which number you need
Use CF-Autoroot to root instead of Towelroot. While CF-Autoroot requires the Odin software to use, it's far more consistent in its results since it temporarily replaces the existing recovery with a recovery that will install SuperSU into the /system partition. Unlike Towelroot, CF-Autoroot is version agnostic, meaning it will work regardless of the version of Android installed.
There is an entire thread on CF-Autoroot. Hit the search bar at the top of the page and I'm sure you'll find it.
Hi, I have a european S8+ fully rooted and with TWRP.
Everything's working great so far but I read somewhere that I won't receive further OTA updates.
Can I install them manually with TWRP?
If yes, 3 questions:
1. Where can I get them?
2. Do I need every single update or are the newest update always containing the older updates as well?
3. Do I lose root or TWRP after installing an update?
I've rooted with Magisk by the way.
Typically if you're rooted and modified the system partition (BusyBox or twrp or whatever) the update will not install in stock recovery. Usually you have to unroot reinstall stock recovery and flash ota. There's toolkits out that can do that. Or you can just find an awesome rom like a rooted debloated rom thats just recently updated and just flash that. Or you can what till somebody snags the ota update location then posts that.
