Hey guys,
I have a tmobile note 4 with COD6 and was wondering I'd it would be safe to update to COG2 and keep my root without any issues? I'm going to have to update via kies, which I have never done before due to the OTA option stating that since I made unauthorized changes to my device I will have to do a manual update. Have any of you already done this and had/experienced any improvement's or issues?

I've just revived an OTA on my rooted international Galaxy S3.,
It says in the "Update Details" *You cannot downgrade to the old Software after this new software upgrade, due to the security reason.
This makes me think there going to lock my bootloader or something and if that's the case I'll just delete the update and change the phones internal settings so it won't download OTA's.
Recently I've been keeping my phones pretty much stock, a few small tweaks and a few apps that require root,
I'm thinking it will probably just fail the OTA update with the phones status now saying / being modified.
I've also got Mobile Odin installed with enable Everoot, Inject SuperSU and Inject Mobile Odin.
Has anyone been through this ( Int SGS3 Stock Samsung firmware, rooted with chainfires root software - OTA to 4.3 from 4.1.2 if you have how did you get on ??
Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi guys,
I'm having an issue upgrading my S5 to lollipop. After I download the update, I hit install now and then the phone reboots.. then it immediately boots back up and gives me an error saying there was an error installing the update. I was previously rooted and I unrooted with SuperSu.
Is there an easy way around this or should I just upgrade through odin or something? If this is the case can someone quickly link me to a tutorial to do this? I'm a little rusty.
Thanks,
Ota
I had same issue I used Verizons Firmware repair then I did the update thru Verizons Firmware updater on my pc then work perfect, I kept getting update fail with the dead Android then I used this method and worked, I was rooted so I unrooted first after Uninstalling busybox.
I happened to see a security policy update yesterday on my notifications. The update obviously won't go on a rooted phone the normal way so I'm looking for help on getting this update installed w/o losing root, or is it possible?? I've heard of Chainfire's app, "FlashFire" but when reading how to use it I have to have the download and when I tried to get the security policy update download I kept getting a prompt that said it had failed. Even when I tried unchecking the Automatic updates and going to Manual it failed. So what am I to do about this? Is it all about "Un Rooting" to official and installing the OTA ? or is there another way?? I am Canadian running 6.0.1 MM, G900W8VLU1DPD3, MMB29M. I hope someone can help. My provider is Telus. It wouldn't hurt to link me to a proper tutorial for un-rooting if that has to be. I'm using TWRP recovery. Thanks!!!
I notice on my phone that there is a software update coming thru. Wanted to know if this update will effect my chances of rooting in the future? Is this a good update? Should I update?
There is root now for PE1
The new update is PF2.

The PF2 update shows security patch level is July 1 on my phone.
yes, you are correct. I thought I took the update but the update failed. Don't know why.
Same thing happened to me this morning. Been trying to install it, but all I get is a 402 error message.
If anyone can let us know if root is still available after the update, that would be awesome!
Was able to root SGS7 on PF2 using guide on XDA Vz S7 Forum...
"Same thing happened to me this morning. Been trying to install it, but all I get is a 402 error message."
Try to install Smart Switch and update using it. I updated successfully by doing that.
Root works fine on PF2, I took the update and then rooted with no issues. Just use the general debloat script not the VZW specific one. However I had to use the samsung/verizon software to install the update, the OTA kept failing at 32%
Hello,
I've a rooted S5 and I'like to use the OTA feature to update it.
When I try it, I receive a message saying that my phone has been modified in an unauthorized way...
How can I update via OTA, even if I lose my root access?
(after update I can always re root using odin
Thanks

if you have an aftermarket recovery, you wont get OTA updates. Why do you want the OTA anyways?
Hi youdoofus ,
Thanks for your reply.
I just tink that OTA updates are the most recent that my service provider has.
So, I d'like to update to that version...
But if you can explain to me why I it should not be done, I apreciate it.
Thanks
