software update - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I rooted my s5 with towelroot and my knox count is still 0x0
now if I try to check for software update I get this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
so rooting is the reason? cz I thought keeping the knox count 0 is what mattered.and how should I solve this keeping the count 0?

Turn device in download mode and check Knox waranty void.
Also Xposed module Wanam can fake system status to official

I'm not sure why you are surprised? it's well known that Samsung doesn't sanction rooting. If they did, we wouldn't need exploits like Towel root to root our phones.
When you check for an update, the update utility has a quick look at your system to see if the system files are as expected and discovers that key files have changed (because you rooted). And insists that you go back to stock before the update proceeds. If you think about it a moment, the message you received makes perfect sense.
It's questionable if you should update at all if you have a rooted system. If you do, then you ought to be doing it manually in a controlled manner. Which is to say that you don't let the system check for updates itself. Instead download the new firmware, then use something like Mobile Odin Pro to write the .tar file, choosing everroot, inject superuser and wipe cache.
.

wildalan, ,aybe stupid question - you received this information before downloading the update or just before installation after downloading the OTA?

You should download samsung kies and then connect your phone .wait a while.then click software update....it will download and install latest update.it may take a while and u will have latest software updated without knox tripping

[Q] Get Official Status Back

Hey all,
I rooted my Canadian Note 3 using the information and guidance from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53632129
Everything went well, I now have root, I did not flash anything else but my device status in download mode and in settings -> about shows up as custom.
I downloaded the pro version of triangle away which fixed the download mode and flash counter.
However, my device status is still Custom in device settings.
I have tried downloading Xposed Framework along with Wanam Xposed and tried to use the security settings to go back to official, did not seem to help.
I want this to go back to Official so I can get OTA updates.
Still looks like this, any advice?

Make sure you have stock kernel and recovery, then use TriangleAway

I did not flash a new recovery or kernel, just rooted with CF AutoRoot and that is it, tried Triangle Away PRO version, it resets the flash counter and says official in download mode. However, in system settings -> about it says "scanning" when the phone is turned on and then goes to "custom"

[Q] Help/Questions regarding rooting Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 4.4.2

Hi all,
It has been a few years since I rooted my last Android device and I seem to be having some difficulties in rooting my current Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 running Android 4.4.2.
Please see attached screenshot of my phone Baseband version, build number, etc.
Are there any supported root methods for my device?
How important is the build number/baseband version when attempting to root?
I seem to be able to find root info for similar devices although quoting a different build number etc.
I attempted to use the chain fire auto root and selected the root file for the Qualcomm international and it did flashed in Odin and showed PASS but did not grant SU privileges.
Luckily my phone was fully functional after a hard reset, although I am wondering whether these methods of rooting are still working for my version of Note 3.
Is there a possibility that it is not possible to root my SM-N9005 due to the particular build number?
I have attempted to search around for any useful threads, although I am not having any luck.
Can anyone even suggest a method which I could investigate further, or even possibly direct me to an existing thread which may prove useful?
Thanks in advance,
Alex.
For ease of reference my build number is:
KOT49H.N9005XXUENE3

All I am after is SuperUser privileges for various purposes - not looking to flash any custom ROM or anything of the sort at this stage.
ANY HELP AT ALL WOULD BE AWESEOME!
Here are some additional details from the Phone Info app:
This would make me assume that using CF-AutoRoot should work using the file:
SM-N9005 (International Qualcomm): CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.zip
Is this correct?

5.0 update with nougat incoming

Looks like they are starting the rollout of nougat and the 5.0 shield software.

Edit: I believe this also applies to the k1 as well.
K1 also has the release notes online.
I hope we get something I can flash via TWRP real fast^^

NOUGAT IN POLAND!!! DOWNLOADING RIGHT NOW, SO EXCITED!!!
I ve root..can i update normally or i have to download the zip and flash via custom recovery?
Working pretty well, seems to be a little bit faster than MM
Feels snappier now. It also supports the "fastboot oem off-mode-charge 0" command now too, so its the perfect replacement for specialized Nexus 7 installs.
So uh... if I have root, what do I do to get it to nougat rooted?
The stability/cuts with WiFi is better in this new ota?
Flash with full version ota with FlashFire it'll inject root and keep the TWRP recovery all in one shot.
Any idea for release date on LTE no-US model ? (RoW)
I didn't have the update
I tried FlashFire it got me stuck in a boot loop
Got the update notification as well! Downloading it right now!
Full for wi-fi k1 5.0

My Phone Cannot fetch new updates

Hello,
I have Samsung Galaxy S10+ unlocked which I purchased in March-2019.
It is not able to update to latest version of software. The last update it got was in April-2019.
After that it does not get any new updates. I downloaded SmartSwitch App, in hopes that it will update the software, but it also says the software update is current.
I contacted Samsung Customer care, they told me Factory Reset the phone. Which i don't want to do.
Is there any other way i Can force my phone to get the latest update?
Here are the screenshots of the phone.

You can use Frija and odin to manually update without root or wipe. You should find the threads located in discussion forum on the S10plus.
Did you ever do a manual software update or have software done at an official samsung authorized store or repair center?

Thank You Darkat. I used your method and was able to update it to the latest version.
I have one question, will it in future receive updates from Samsung or no?
Thanks

I assume that it would, my update came from my carrier, not Samsung. I did the initial jump in December to Android 10, i received Jan update, my Dec Build was the same as what my carrier released.
