Is it a good idea to update latest firmware? I just got a notification recently saying that there is an update. So I heard about Samsung took some precautions to prevent rooting with new firmware. I am not planning to root my device soon but was just wondering, is there any disadvantage of updating to latest firmware?
Hello all from Italy.
Two days ago I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S4 and I'm wondering what to do when Samsung will release some new update for this phone, as the OTA feature is now deactivated due for firmware modifications.
I've also reset the counter via "Triangle Away" and the firmware is now detected as "original".
I'm not interested for the moment in a custom firmware and would like to keep the original Samsung.
My questions are:
1) can I incrementally update my phone via Kies, any times Samsung will release new patches (OTA is disabled) ?
2) someone told me Odin has an update feature that permit to install incremental updates anytime Samsung release them, but I've not found this feature.
3) if I use Odin to update the firmware I will loose any data, applications, settings and homescreen configurations or I can restore a backup made with Kies?
I'm sorry for my poor english, for my inexperience and hope to get help from someone.
Thank you and have a nice day.

if u have rooted device for now you wont get any ota and cannot get any update using kies u can use Odin to flash latest update available for your variant
the firmware you can get it from sammobile.com or u can also see my sign it has a link
2nd option
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250824
use the link above it has pre rooted firmware which will allow you to get OTA and kies update but once u flash u ll loose root
Note: the 2nd option is valid for variant i9505 international use only if u have that or go through the link to get more details
Thanks for your reply.
Just a question: if I unroot my phone using the "SuperSU" feature then can I have OTA and Kies updates working again or a total flash is still needed?
In few words a unroot with the SuperSU feature is useless or not?

U must flash pre rooted firmware from the link I gave to get OTA
or must flash stock firmware and reset the device to get OTA that's the best option as per me
Hi guys.I`ve got an Samsung S5+ with a odd problem, maybe for me.I cannot do OTA update because some root i think.The guy that i took the phone, he said that there is no root.But yet again i cannot check for update because of an error.Device status is custom.So i think that is rooted.So the system is from Singapore i think.Software 4.4.4.And i would like to update it to Lollipop and to keep it stock.Baseband is : G901FXXU1ANH5 . Any ways to change it, update it to Lollipop and then unroot it back?It`s for my girlfriend and i want to make her kinda happy and not to miss her S4.
maybe you can try kies3 on PC.after I unroot my phone,I succeeded
So the i9301i received a new security update finally after 2 years with no updates whatsoever. The S3 Neo that I have is rooted with CWM and supersu, will that security update most likely brick my phone? because I had to use a root app just to change the phone's status to 'official'.
Hi guys.Id like to ask you a little info.I rooted my Samsung S7 Edge with stock fw Nougat.I cant get updates via OTA.Is there a way to fix it?THX in advance.
once you root your device, a file in the operating system is changed so that you can not get OTA updates.
Currently there is no way to fix this.
you can try smart switch or go to sams mobile to see if there are any new updates.
currently the last update has February 1, 2017 security patch.
