[q] to install update on rom omni 4.4.2 n7100

Hello,
Anyone could help me with this problem:-
I have already rooted my Note 2 N7100 with Omni 4.4.2 Nightly but somehow, on software update, with an update available after checking it, I was unable to flash it successfully. There was an error. I have checked SuperSU as to install SuperSu backup script as I believe it would help me to do update on the current build but I could not do that as it requires installing SuperSu into/system (converting into a system app) first but when I have tried to install and later rebooted my device, it was still the same. On Custom Rom, I could not install supersu backup script and when trying to flash update (after checking it and update is available, it was again not successful.
Any advice?

Flash SuperSU in recovery and then you should be able to install the backup script.

OTA update with root

Hi All,
I'm currently on D80220b-466-92. Recently got a notification about a software update. Should be D80220c in update, I know some person who did update and got that new version (we bought our devices in the same place).
But I've rooted my device and OTA failed for me with some error code. On rebooting I've got a message that my device is rooted and OTA won't work there.
Right, so I've removed any modification: host from AdAway, adabbeb camera and player mod, SuperSu full deinstalliation from it settings.
Did reboot, kick off OTA downloads again and it failed for me again.
So, is that possible to do that or should I fully reflash my device on stock firmware.
There should be some checks that OTA update script are checking, and needs to find that.

[Q] (I9506) Rooted 4.2.2 + OTA 4.3 update ready = ?

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!

(Q) Installing OTA without Stock COS Recovery

Dear Friends,
The leaked COS 12.1 -YOG4PAS6ZA Incremental OTA for Yureka/Yureka Plus can only be installed over YOG4PAS3JM with Stock COS recovery only.
even after switching back to stock recovery for manually updating , it gives error as i have removed many apps from the system, and the OTA checks for the system integrity.
can any one help with the latest incremental ota zip which can be flashed through TWRP / CWM.
Thanks in Advance

OTA updates after root?

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.
