[Q] how to update rooted note 3?

Hi, I am new to rooting the android. I tried looking around but couldn't find a clear guide.
I am looking on how to update my verizon Galaxy Note 3 that's on version 4.3 MJ7 (Hyperdrive RLS4 rom, model N900V) while preserving the root. Or would I have to loose root for a while and then re-root? Ultimately I am looking to install the newest Hyperdrive rom, but I believe I would have to update the stock firmware first?
Would be great to get some tips on how to do this. Thanks!

Odin the tar MJE

[Q] Bell Canada Note3 Rooted but want to update to Kitkat

I have a rooted Note 3 AV 4.3 MN SM-N900W8, I rooted without issue with the CF autoroot, now I know there is the new 4.4 kitkat update but I can not auto update without unrooting, What I am looking for is recommendations from others as to what they did to update (either unrooting or rom install) and if your willing could you tell me what you did and include any links to ROMs you used etc,

[Q] To root again after official update or not?

Hi
I have an I9505 which was at 4.3 by default. I used the CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar to root it and after that i updated it with odin and I9505XXUFNB8_I9505TSIFNB1_I9505XXUFNB8_HOME.tar that i got from sammobile.com .
now I don't know that after updating official rom, i'm rooted or not?!!
I flashed Trwap recovery again. I don't know that can i flash a custome rom now with it or i have to root again? if YES, the CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar will work again with android 4.4.2 or not?
thanks
please guide me.

There is an app called Root Checker which does what the name says. Usuallly, you can preserve root while upgrading if you got SuperSU Pro and have "Survival Mode" enabled.

You don't need to root for flashing a custom rom. You can just flash from the recovery.

Thanks
I flashed a new rom

How to Root Stock Rom

Hi guys , need help .. i ahve galaxy note 4 n9100 h ... just installed 6.0 marshmallow on it .. firmware is stock ..now want to root ..plz tell me how to root 6.01 stock firmware ....

CF auto root should have worked! Anyway, flash TWRP via Odin, then flash latest SuperSU from TWRP.

Exactly. Do that and you're done! [emoji1]

if you failed rooting note 4 using CF autoroot, then you must have done something wrong.
follow the instruction exactly to the letter.
I've rooted my 910H (stock 6.0.1) 3 times without any problem.

Samsung update for rooted phone?

Hi guys,
Been a while since I posted here. Bought my phone 910c brand new when it came out and just rooted it so I could modify the DPI. I still have the stock rom etc as I prefer to have stability.
Now I'm sort of getting bored still on KitKat and want to update the firmware.
First step I took was to make the phone "official" in wanam and then download the update ota. This didn't work as there was an android with belly open and triangle.
Now I'm thinking I will update via Pc Samsung kies. Will this work? And will I still have root access to change the DPI or do I need to reroot afterwards?
Thanks.

Updated via kies last night then had to root again.
Does anyone know how I can change the DPI for the stock apps back to 640?
Since I'm on stock rom xposed is not recommended for marshmallow?

One sure and safe way to update your firmware is via PC Odin. Just download your official firmware from Samfirmware website. MM is best in my opinion.
You can root your phone afterwards and install Xposed by Wanam, not the official Xposed zip file.
