Hello guys,
just wanted to let you know.
I flashed the stock rom, rooted it and disabled evrythig I dont need/want, even services.
But as you know ota updates wont work with root, I decided to flash the stock rom again.
What I didnt know, that all disabled apps and services ae still disabled afer the reflash.
So I've got a nearly debloated stock rom with working ota updates.:good:
Yes the disabled stuff should remain disabled. I do what you did all the time whenever a new update comes out. Like the one that released for India a couple of days ago COGA. Flashed the new fw and then root again. All the bloat frozen via titanium Backup stays frozen.

I got a message last night on my note that there is a firmware update available. I've got a GT-N7000 on AT&T and am running a rooted stock ROM with CWM. When I try to install the update it reboots the phone and then tells me "Failed to update firmware. Try again using PC software (Kies) or visit a Samsung service centre". The update is 101MB. I did a search and didn't see any other posts about this so thought I'd ask if anyone knows what the update is and how I can get it installed.
Thanks.
Its probably because your rooted. I was on a rooted rom and flashed the stock kka firmware my phone came with then updated without a problem. I did't try to update while being rooted though.

You could just flash a stock rooted rom of the update. The update is the Lc1 firmware.

Look for OTA rootkeeper on the market. Never tried it but some people that they could update OTA and keep their root

I have the same problem. I'm on the international Note (in UK), have rooted the phone for titanium backup and autostarts (I've deleted some bloatware and frozen others), but haven't played around with custom roms or flashing because I don't really know about that sort of stuff. Also, the firmware update here is 73.5 mb.
Tried ota app, but that doesn't really make a difference and it's only intended to keep root if an already successful ota update has unrooted the phone. Our problem is the the update isn't completing successfully.
I'm worried that the upcoming ICS update won't work either.
Any solutions would be massively appreciated, especially if they don't involve flashing or doing a factory reset.
Thanks

If you've played around with /system, you won't be able to OTA for the most part, as these updates are patches and expect to find an untouched /system partition.

I tried OTA Rootkeeper but no luck. Is there a way to back up my apps and settings such that I could easily restore them after flashing a stock ROM that includes the update?

install LC1 ger rom - latest no wipe . or open eu - but only biggest file - also no wipe
I grabbed my kindle this morning to find that it had updated and I had lost root. I'm not sure if my device had restarted but I was able to regain root by running towelroot. HDXposed appears to be functioning again but some of my apps are acting a little jittery after the sudden loss of root. (Fixed by clearing cache)
I don't have much more information atm though.
[Update]: My kindle automatically rebooted shortly after posting the above information. Luckily I didn't lose root afterwards. I had to reinstall google play and google services but everything has been running smooth since.

New Safestrap version
Hi guys, Hascode released a new Safestrap version. See it in the Android Development section.
After installing greenify and enabling boost and ticking the "system apps no exception" box, my wifi doesn't work anymore.
I also used pry-fi for 30 mins about 1 hour before installing greenify. It worked after using pry-fi.
I uninstalled greenify (unticking the "system apps no exception" before) and pry-fi and xposed.
I already removed the root AND reset my phone. Nothing helps.
I am very desperate for help now. No one on the xda dev forum is replying so i am making this post again (sorta).
Any fix?
PS 4G still works

Would this be the right ROM? I can't seem to find the original samsung ROM (4.4.2), could you link me to it?

NVM: I found the official ROM, it is downloading and i'll flash it. I'll report back tmrw.
Hi Everyone,
I have the G2, and wanted to get rid of annoying ads. So I rooted(that's it, stock, no recovery). I only rooted it. Everything is still stock. The only thing I added was superuser and busybox. I didn't install a recovery like Twrp or cm. I hate ads, that is the only reason I rooted. I didn't delete any bloatware, only froze with Titanium. Essentially everything is factory, except it is rooted.
Question: Will I be able to take the lollipop OTA?
If so, Will I lose root?
If I cant receive OTA, what do I need to do to receive ota update?
Thanks a bunch

Probably
Probably not
Flash stock .kdz
Well we are not likely to see a LP update in the near future, so no worries. As long as you haven't touched any system apps or installed custom recovery you will most likely be fine taking any OTA.
I think that OTA updates aint posible on some devices, like example mine which is 20b. I can only update via pc and lg update tool, but im kinda scared i wont brick my phone since i rooted it on stock 20b with towelroot.
Should i do the update? Can sh*t happen? I am looking over the forums atm, but wanted to ask.
Also im searching for a recovery install way on d802 with rooted 20b stock firmware.

If you are Stock you can still take the OTA if/when it comes out. Root has never been an issue upgrading with an OTA.
What makes the process fail is what you do with root, like changing DPI, changing the WiFi Tether App, physically deleting bloat (verse disabling it).
I'm not sure if you can root Lollipop yet. I've heard they are disabling the ability to root lollipop without a custom kernel.

Thanks,
I did few changes with xposed and g2 tweakbox, you think that could cause problems for the update?
I think i should really update 20b stock..

I wouldn't risk it, I've read a lot about people bricking their phone because they thought they could just uninstall xposed, uproot and update
Hello guys.... this is one of my first posts here so go easy on me...
Trying to get to the bottom of an issue I'm experiencing on my Nexus 4 16GB after updating.
So I had been postponing updating to Lollipop for months... (was still on 4.4.4 stock cuz I didn't quite like the new UI) and decided to update Sunday (Aug 10th) morning. Big mistake, apparently.
The OTA 5.0.1 update made my phone become unstable, lag, and crash at random. Constantly get "X ins't responding", where X can be anything from Launcher to System UI to Chrome! Regular google apps are generally non-responsive and supper laggy.
For Ex: Can't open Play Store, the app tries to open but all I see is a white app window,same with Photos, or maps... ironically Whatsapp and certain other non-google apps are opening.
So I currently can't even use my N4 much, I'm trying to find out a what's causing this and if I need to revert the upgrade or flash a ROM or something,
My 4.4.4 was rooted FWIW, and now it's not. Not sure if it's helpful, but I have about 1.3GB free internal storage, and 1GB free memory when I run. So I don't think the issues are being caused by an app I installed or some service running wild. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

You could try flashing a factory image of 5.0.1 and see if that helps.

Thanks. Yeah, this seems to have fixed it. Factory flashed it with the stock 5.0.1. Had to wipe it clean but a working phone is a working phone.
So it seems that if you're unlocked and rooted, you're shouldn't install OTA updates?
I read somewhere here (can't find the link rite now) that after 5.0, the OTA updates don't work right, if it detects the bootloader has been unlocked and/or you're rooted? Is this correct?

You might try upgrading to 5.1.1 LMY48I, it is all the bug fixes for 5.+, and should be more stable.
