Hey. So I've got a newly rooted S5 here (Exynos version). And I was wondering now that OTA updates won't function (rooted), how to get those updates ? And the consequences, Do I lose root after updating ? Can it harm the phone or anythn ?
Thanks in Advance
You've to go back to Stock firmware..
Then you'll able to receive OTA updates..

I understand. But apart from the OTA updates on the phone, There is Kies. But I'm not sure about the consequences and all.
If you update via kies you will loose your root but im not sure kies will let you update with a rooted rom.
Never used kies cause its trash

Yes it does. Update via kies, re-root via odin.

Nope, I've done it once and lost nothing, was pretty quick and straight forward actually, even kept my current settings.

Yes u can install new firmware / update using Odin it will just override or ad new changes and the data will be as it's
However I suggest having a backup just to be safe

As of now, does anyone know how to use OTA updates with ROOT.
I've tried using Chainfire's Triangle Away but that doesn't seem to reset the Device to Normal.
OTA while Root - N9005

Download the full firmware and flash with ODIN is the only way for now.
Hey guys,
I've got a very simple question.
I have the lg g2 d802 and i updated it to the latest firmware. (screenshot)
what if im going to root my device with ioroot, will it brick, is it safe or is it even possible to root?
Im a little unsure about this.
Thanks
You can root, it is safe, but know one thing, its not recommended to OTA update afterwards...
But when i installed the Kitkat update, i did do an another update. Thats the OTA update right?
Im kinda noob now xD
I bricked my galaxy s1 ones but you could unbrick it with a usb jig so i couldnt care bricking it xD. But not with this phone and i dont have twrp recovery.

Only if you don't have a recovery custom.
However you might loose the root by updating.
I believe its been over a year since the last time I rooted my phone. TowelRoot. Since then Ive been stuck on 4.4.2. Everytime I update it stops at 25 percent then fails. Ive tried updating via kies and that too isnt any help. Kies just tries reinstalling to the new firmware over and over. Forgive me for not being so Tech savy, but I would like to know how do I fix this? Simple english and easy videos would be of big help. Im all eyes now waiting for yourreplies. Thx again for all your help.

Thats the thing. I think I was on the version before the 4.4.2 that I have now. After saying I was updated I nolonger had root access. I checked my root with root checker and it says im unrooted. Double checked with simply unroot and that too says im unrooted. Its just not updating. It always fails...

i have note 4 N910C, and once i finished setup it, it received 2 updates from Samsung.
if i rooted it, will it receive any future updates or i have to install new ROM manually?
and is there any way to download the new updates only not the whole ROM, if i rooted it??

If you root you won't get OTA update, but you can flash any costum ROM
