Hey guys,
Hoping to get some help:
On a rooted Galaxy S5 900I, if I upgrade the firmware via KIES, will that brick my phone? Will I loose root?
Current firmware: PDA:ND2 / CSC:ND2 / PHONE:ND2(XSA)
Latest firmware: PDA:NE1 / CSC:NE1 / PHONE:NE1(XSA)
Thanks for your help!

1. Your phone will not be bricked, it's safe to do that
2. You will lose Root after upgrading but you can reroot

There have been recent posts saying that the latest updates are breaking towel root. So re-rooting may increment Knox if that matters to you.

Easiest is to flash your updated stock rom with Mobile Odin Pro and keep root that way so you won`t have to reroot

Hi!
Im from Croatia and I want to update my Galaxy S4 GT-I9505. My Galaxy is locked on T-Mobile so I downloaded official firmware for my S4.
I found this metod on DroidViews and I think it is very simple metode to do OTA update.
Current:
Number of model: GT-I9505
Android: 4.2.2
Basic version: I9505XXUAMDC
Kernel: 3.4.0-431985 [email protected] - 137#1 Thu Apr 11 22:42:13 KST 2013
Number of version: JDQ39.I9505XXUAMDC
I have downloaded:
CRO-I9505XXUDMH7-20130910164421
I have some questions:
1. Is this metode safe?
2. If I have KNOX on my S4 (my currently version is I9505XXUAMDC) will this metode activate it, if it does what then?
3. After I update my firmware with this metod, will I be able to upadte my software in future ia Kies?
4. Can I brick my S4 with this metod?
5. What I can do if something goes wrong (for example if my S4 get stuck on rebooting)?
6. Do I lose my warranty if I fo update with this metod?
I am NOOB in this so help me if you can.
Excuse me for my bad english.
Thanks!
- What u downloaded no is a OTA update, is a STOCK FULL Firmware. U cant install it by Custom Recovery
- U can flash the firmware u downloaded (MH7) with ODIN 3.09, but this will void ur warranty too (Knox 0x1)
- The best u can do is wait for T-mobile updates and update ur phone with Kies for keep ur warranty
Can you give me some link with update which I can do with recovery, links on hotfile are dead.

Hi everbody,
I have an international Note 3 and would like to update to Android 4.4.2 (currently running rooted 4.3, firmware MJ7). When Kies prompts me te update it tells me that te new firmware wil be NC2. I've searched around and in the AT&T subforum people seem not to be able to root this firmware (yet?).
My question is if it would be safe to root my international Note 3 or will i lose the ability to root my phone?
Thanks in advance!

Yes you can! It is true that you will lose youe IMEI if you flash an older firmware but you will restore it if you reflash the previous modem (NG1 in this case). I did it many times myself to revive and reroot the phone.

No, I haven't. I have tried to flash the Super fast & famous and the Sweet Rom but in both cases unsuccessfully. In the first case aroma installer simply didn't start and in the second I had to revive the phone by downgrading since I don't have a Nandroid backup...
if flash older FW my imei will be corrupted ? my phone is not rooting all is stock
Tnx a lot
Hi all,
I have a Samsung Galaxy 10.1 (2014 edition)
Phone model: SM-P600
PDA Version: XXUBMJ6
Android Version: 4.3
CSC: XEF
Rooted and recovery Philz touch 6.41.6
Never installed a custom ROM on it
Since some days, my tablet propose to update to 4.4.2 , but it fail on every reboot.
I think it's because I am rooted
What is the best solution for me :
Unroot (how?) To apply the update ?
Flash a new ROM (which one do you suggest ?). Official or custom ?
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi,
I would flash a stock ROM 4.4.2 for your model.
You can find them HERE
Flash the ROM with Odin.
Either Odin full stock rom or download Skies3 on your PC and connect your device to it and Skies should update your device as is. (without uninstall root or custom recovery). Once done, you need to re-root and re install custom recovery.

You can not take official OTA firmware updates on a rooted phone. Best way to prepare your phone is to Odin back to stock then take the official OTA update. Everything you need to do this is found here in this this trusty guide. Good luck.
