i have a question regarding updating to the latest firmware. it seem like after i root with cf root i am unable to update via ota and kies just doesn't seem to work ( freeze after downloading )
the question is can i download the latest firmware from sammobile and update via Odin and get root later on ? this method seem like what everyone is doing to bring the firmware to stock right ? ( i just doesnt wanna mess up my gf device)
thanks and appreciate for the upcoming replys !

I had rooted my note 3 sm-n9005, and I cannot update via OTA. Hence I update to the latest firmware via kies 3.
After update via kies, the root is gone.
I thought now my phone was back to stock, I tried again update via OTA, it still failed. Said my phone is modified. I wonder,didn't I update back to stock firmware ? Why still saying it is modified?
I checked my current binary and system status in download mode, they are custom, why they are not stuck as I already update to the latest firmware?

i thought if i reflash to stock firmware i would be able to OTA
So now Odin will be my best friend while updating xD
Means once I rooted my phone (No matter I unroot it after that),I will never able to update via OTA right?
I don't get the OTA update on my VZW S5 , even the fact i am on NE9, tried several times to get it via software update from the device - no luck , not working.
so i thought to flash it manually and need the "how to do it" steps.
I found the 4.4.4 OTA zip file.
Can anyone be kind and guide me with the steps how to manual flash it ?
is it done by the loading the zip file to the S5 and flashing from recovery or it should be done via ODIN ? please advise & guide me how to do it.
Currently i am on the NE9 stock - UN rooted
I'm on NGC stock rooted..how would I go about manually updating to the 4.4.4 update.

I managed to upgrade to 4.4.4 by downloading the full firmware instead of the OTA and flashed it via Odin 3.09 and it worked like magic
its was as easy just to download the file from the link below , unzip it and get the md5 file and flash with Odin 3.09
I was on stock, un-rooted , 4.4.2 , NE9 and upgraded to NHA
The full firmware can be found here

Update from 4.4.2
Hi all,
I'm stuck on 4.4.2 right now, but i want to update to 5.0.
Anyone who can give me a tutorial?
I have no SD card.
Connect to a good wifi, go into settings and there should be an "Software update" option somewhere, if you are on stock rom.
Do this,go to sammobile,download firmware 5.0.1 for your mobile and install with Odin program,that is all .
Yes if can't update from ota, download firmware from sammobile and flash via odin . .
I forgot to mention, that i have rooted my phone using CF-autoroot
It doesnt matter, you can flash your official firmware via Odin whenever you want. Just download the firmware from sammobile.com and flash it. Thats all. In addition if you want to use a custom rom you can choose a 5.x.x version of it and flash it via TWRP recovery. It is your choise.
Okay i've followed THIS tutorial, but now it asks for some root issues.
"Root access possibly lost. Fix?"
"THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE"
"- No"
"- Yes - fix root (/system/xbin/su)"
I want to keep my root
I am quite stuck untill someone tells me how to keep my root.
I am using CWM.

Put the phone into download mode
Connect to PC USB
Check ODIN has the COM port highlighted at the top
Add the stock ROM to AP in ODIN
When it is ready, press Start
When ODIN is finished flashing, it will reboot your phone into your new stock ROM
Stock ROM running on your phone after that will be able to take OTA updates (As long as you don't root / custom recovery)
If you want root and custom recovery again, just do the same as you did last time, and each time you want to update, just follow the above, that's how I update
Hello,
My Note 4 is rooted , emotion nightly with twrp, using stock rom samsung marshmallow
today I received a software update for the marshmallow firmware.
the update is a zip file
I tried to flash the update using twrp, but it failed. As I understood twrp can't flash zip files, only tar
I tried to flash the update using odin, but it failed. is this the same with odin?
maybe I am doing something wrong
is there by any chance a possiblity to flash the update or do I need to install the complete new stock firmware ?
thanks in advance, kind regards, coinco
How did you recieved the update ?
If you downloaded it from sammobile
Then first extract the zip file , if you get an .tar file , only then you can flash it with odin .
You simply cant flash an official update through any unofficial software , so dont try to flash it in custom recovery .
Reporting via N910G.
Thank you, for your answer,
I received the update, through (F) OTA,
so as I understand correctly, it will not be possible to flash the file.
It will be no problem , I will flash the original new firmware.
