[Q] Updating firmware with Odin

Hello,
I want to ask if it's possible to just update the firmware, not flashing new firmware which removes all of my data.
I have rooted stock firmware and want update it to the latest stock firmware using Odin because OTA doesn't work with rooted devices.
My device is SM-N900 and rooted by CF-Auto-Root.

Yes it is possible but after the OTA update you have to re-root your device.
follow the steps:
1. Install Xposed Framework (a.k.a. Xposed Installer)
2. Tap on "Framework", then do it on "Install/Update"
3. Install Wanam Xposed
4. Open Xposed Installer, tap on "Modules" and check Wanam Xposed
5. Reboot the phone
6. Open Wanam Xposed, go to "Security Hacks"
7. Check (on System) "Fake System Status"
8. Reboot again...
9. you can go back to updating OTA

Thanks for the reply but that was not what I asked for, I asked if it's possible to update the firmware using Odin and keep all of my data as it's an OTA update.
And if I follow your steps (Xposed), can I just uninstall Xposed Installer and Wanam Xposed after I finish updating the firmware?

Waiting for the answer too.
in the meanwhile you can just backup your data with My Backup Pro and then restore later.

If it worked why do you need to update via Odin .And you still can update your stock ROM via odin by downloading the latest stock rom from sammobile.com and that's it,if you worried about your data just use Titanium to backup your data.

Dont do ota updates of you are rooted 0x0!
hit 'thanks' if i helped you
SM-N9005 DBT-DMJ7 0x0
XDA Developers 4 premium app

I didn't know that I can run OTA update on root device, but it worked fine till I realized that my new updated phone said "bye-bye" to root
Superuser still there but wont start. Any ideas? is it normal to re-root again?

It worked for me just fine.
I did this and see if this will help you, but I don't think there is difference between the two steps.
First I searched for "Xposed Installer" on google play but I didn't find, instead I found "Wanam Xposed", so I installed and when I ran it it asked me to download "Xposed Installer" and I hit download and installed it, then the remain steps are the same as Dahdoul's.

Your phone has custom recovery? Or only rooted?
I try many times but it still in custom status, so cannot OTA update. My phone is N9005 from Malaysia, build MJ1, with CWM recovery.

The more advanced approach is to use Mobile Odin Pro - that way on Snapdragon version you can keep the old bootloader and automatically re-inject root and keep Knox 0x0!
In your case standard Odin might also work, latest stock firmware is generally non-wipe.

[Q] Flashing stock rom (GT-9500)

..

..

I've never done a backup myself but that's bad practice I know.
If SuperSu does not ask you for root privileges, then there might be some issues with your root. Have you tried to install the latest update? I had the same issue right after root, the default SuperSu app did not work so what I did was flashing the latest SuperSu app via Recovery and it worked.
Get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

I just flash 4.4.2 INU, just backup yr msg & call logs, the installation process automatically backup & restore apps
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app

Always make a backup before doing anything to your system. You never know what might go wrong. You can backup using nandroid or your custom recovery.
Regarding you SuperSU issue, make sure you answer "No" when your custom recovery asks you fix root (unless specified by the rooting procedure - philz touch recovery when rooting Russian firmware i9500 4.4.2).
Moreover, you can download an app to check if you lost your root privileges. If you did lose it, root your system again.

I already backed up my stock rom as an image, I'm talking about backing up apps, settings, etc to restore them. About superuser, I tried several times to re root but i won't work.

you can use titanium backup but that needs root. uninstall Super SU and install it from the play store. The app will detect if its activity is hindered by KNOX.

By uninstalling , you mean unrooting?

First, make sure that your are, indeed, rooted. Uninstall Super SU in Applications Manager in your Settings. Install again from play store.

..

download a root checker app to check if you are rooted. try downloading Super SU from play store anyway. See what happens.

[Q] Problems with KitKat Cook Roms?

Dear friends,
First all, I tried to search, found some threads (Titanium Backup problem) but it did not work for me.
I just bought a N9005 (after 1 year stick with i9500). With i9500 everything very simple with 4.3, I haven't upgraded to KitKat.
With N9005 I stuck with some problem for days: Tried to install some Custom Rom: Crash, Echoe, X-Note ... same problems:
- Dropbox: can not export file, can not save.
- Titanium Backup: FC
- Some apps can not download file.
-----------------------------------------------------------
I tried
"su
Restorecon -R -v /data/data/
But still didnot work. I think the problem is can not write on the storage. But it's weird, in Browser i'm still able to download files.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Later I went back to stock rom, with root flashed. Everything go smooth. But I still want to go with custom rom (as I always did with my i9500). Is this custom rom problem?
-----------------------------------------------------------
Thank you all.
Best regards.
Ryan.

Ok sorry my bad, may I edit my post?
Might not be crrupted or virus, I tried many times with different roms, with full wipe, format ...

Still not entirely clear - did you have a working KK ROM and now you're trying to install a KK custom ROM, or did you have JB 4.3 before trying to upgrade?

Before installing custom rom, did you wipe your rom manually using recovery (CWM)? wipe cache, systems, dalvik and data partitions?
Titanium backup have a problem when restoring data in KK, but there is a fix for it in the playstore. When finished restore (batch restore) don't run the app yet, run the TB fix and restart.phone.
All downloaded file using any browser will go to phone memory.
I am using stock root NC2. to bypass this SD Card issue copy this file to system/etc/permissions and set permission. Restart phone. hope it help.

To be clearer, I have stock root NC2, wanna try other custom roms (Crash, Echoe, Xnote).
I tried them all but still have the same issue.
I always do full wipe in CWM when switch to another custom rom.
I tried to edit the permission as you mentioned (both manually and copy file) but got error message all the time, seem like I couldn't write or edit file.
I installed the TB fix on Play Store, but It say no issues with the phone (weird), so can not run.
Stock rom everything seem ok but custom roms always have same issues T_T

Can i revert from NG8/9 to NG2 with Odin?

I had a official stock firmware XXUA1NG2.
I used Towelroot apk to root my SM-900F and stay on stock.
I received and installed the NG8/9 update and lost root.
Is it safe to flash NG2 using odin to become official again and be able to use towelroot again?
PM is no problem, i am very gratefull for help

Best is to flash a NE2 rom again, data factory reset and reroot with TR. Then install superSU Pro and enable root survival to koop root after an OTA update. Or follow this guide to root an NGx rom with a older kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-root-triggering-knox-2nd-method-t2843044.

So after the flash:

- Install superSU and Pro and enable root survival. Do not make superSU a system app.
- Now you can download and install the NG9 OTA and retain root.
I always use Odin 3.09 and had no issues so far, link http://odindownload.com/.

The Pro app gives you more options and will serve you for years so its money well spend imo. You have the option to make superSU a system app in the Pro options but that means you can never install an OTA update because the system is modified so i wouldn`t do it.

Just install superSU and Pro, reboot and open the superSU app and enable the root surival mode and thats it mate. Then check for updates in settings/ about he phone and you`ll get a notification for NG9. Accept, download and install it.

Then it was rooted by the former owner allready. Samsung cannot deny warranty if you have a legitimate claim unless they can prove that rooting was the cause of the defect. At least you don`t have to be carefull anymore as KNOX is tripped anyway (just kidding)
Now you can use CF Auto Root to root http://download.chainfire.eu/397/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-klte-kltexx-smg900f.zip or Towelroot and flash custom recovery`s, roms and kernels as you wish. I`d still update super SU and install superSU Pro.

Weird semi-root situation.

Hi guys,
Yesterday i have rooted a friend's phone with a laptop using the RootGenius application and all worked perfectly and the root is working good.
EDIT: I've tested other root apps on my friend's phone and it's the same problem. So that app didn't rooted correctly.
After that, i rooted my phone wich is a Samsung Galaxy S4 Black Edition (i9505) and...well, something went wrong there. After the root, all the programs were stopping working. The installed programs were not available and i couldn't open almost any app. I did a factory reset and now it's working fine, but...the root acces it's a little bit f****d up.
If i check the root with Root Checker, it says that i have root access. The superuser app is called KingUser and i never heard of this app.
Now, here comes the problem: if i want to use a root-needed app like GameCIH, for example, i grant the root access, but i can't use the app, it says that i don't have a rooted phone...
I can use the XMODGAMES app wich is also a root-needed app, but i want to use all the root apps, 'cause why not?
I tried to install SuperSU. When i open it, it says that i need to update SU binaries. I press normal, because i don't have a custom recovery and then i grant root acces and then it says: Failed, reboot the phone and try again. I rebooted it a few times and no succes, the same thing.
So what should i do?
Should i unroot it and then re-root it?
If yes, how?
Thanks.
Have a nice day.

Why not just use CF auto-root for flashing. Easiest method and never fails.

Unroot and reroot using CF-Autoroot. Search for the CF-Autoroot thread to learn how it's done.
Be aware however that this will trip the Knox flag.

Thanks, I will try to do that. But what means that it will trip Knox flag?

We have an entire thread on Samsung's Knox software on the forum, but in short the flag is a means for Samsung to tell the phone's firmware has been tampered with.

You can remove King user by clicking on the icon,hold it en move it to the left upper corner ,where it'saing delete app or something like that in Dutch it's "installatie ongedaan maken"
At first root whith Chainfire ,don't use CWM but TWRP 2.6.0.0? Search for it,and dont use TWRP 2.8.5.0.

Sorry,didn't know it's removable that way...says enough i think...

The factory reset dont unroot, i factory reseted and the phone is still in that trouble.
And with the recovery? Can i install TWRP now?

Ok so i figured out what i've done: I have installed Philz Recovery which is a CWM recovery 6 with touch version and it works via an app that boots into recovery (root app that fortunattely worked as root). So what do i need to do now?
If i open SuperSu it says that it needs to update the su binary. When i tap normal it fails and then i tap cwm/twrp, it dosen't do anything, even if i boot into recovery mode. Do i need to install a zip SU-BB? I did it and it didn't work. Any other ideas?

You can remove King user by clicking on the icon,hold it en move it to the left upper corner ,where it'saing delete app or something like that in Dutch it's "installatie ongedaan maken"
At first root whith Chainfire ,don't use CWM but TWRP 2.6.0.0? Search for it,and dont use TWRP 2.8.5.0.

Your information is outdated. TWRP is already on 2.8.7.0 and it's the only one that should be used. Do not use old version because it will give you conflicts with Lollipop.

What you need to do:
- If you are on the latest Philz just perform a full wipe. Reflash the rom. And do what I told you.
