What you can do is flash a stock rom using odin then it will be stock and u will receive ota updates ✌

I doubt this will work mainly because rooting trips KNOX which is an e-fuse so that means that if tripped there's no going back to Official status . You can always install the latest firmwares with ODIN though.

I rooted my phone due to ES FILE Manager permission, i was unable to cut / paste any file from internal memory to external using es file manager. is there any other file manager who doesn't requires root access to cut/paste/delete data from internal/external memory?

Of course.
What can i do to make the update with cwm recovery ?
Thank you.
i got the same problem , cant upgrade the cwm gets it back and upgrade fales all the time.
I had the same problem updating to 2.3.6. OTA update downloads, but crashed during the install. Fixed it by downloading a stock (updated) rom & flashing with CWM.
U can find the stock roms here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Just make sure u read the instructions thoroughly.
OTA updates are usually patch files, which expect to find a completely unadulterated /system partition -if you've rooted, this won't be the case so the OTA will fail.
If you are rooted with CWM, you are *always* better off waiting for someone to repackage updates/ROM in CWM format.
Regards,
Dave
Don't do it! I had the same issue as OP updating OTA but was able to do it via Kies. I wish I didn't! My update broke root access (went from KK1 to LA2) and now I'll have to downgrade via Odin to get my root back

I'm not sure, but I think if you have the stock ROM and kernel you would still be able to receive OTA updates. However installing them might unroot your phone.

Flash a stock firmware back to ur phone using Odin
Reset the device from settings / accounts / backup & Reset ur device should be official and u should be able to get OTA
for firmware link check my signature
Note: do not use triangle away for ur variant its not supported
Can I do this simply by using Triangle Away with i9505?

hi. i rooted my phone and managed to download the MEA to MG9 OTA update, so i might help. download the cofface recovery from http://link.and-share.ir/uploads/cofface-S4-recovery-en-V3-0-zip.zip and flash with odin. then boot into recovery (turn off the phone then hold volume up and home and power) then select unroot from recovery. then turn off your phone and flash the official status mod http://d-h.st/1lt. then reboot and install the OTA. after updating you can root again just like i did,
have you tried the "full unroot" option in chainfires superSU?
easier than flashing a new recovery...
hi, i rooted my phone without flashing a new frimware (just flashed recovery), and i had a lot of problems that a friend with a i9505 didn't, like a microsd not writing and not getting ota, can't flash new custom ROM
so i wanted to unroot, i figured that if i never flashed a new firmware than all i need to do is unroot, so using the su full unroot feature i unrooted and used kingo to varify the phones is not rooted, but i still have recoovery and in device status it shows custom binary.
so what can i do to restore official status?

Help! I've reset the flash counter through Triangle Away, unrooted my phone, and even flashed stock rom to my Note 3, but still getting this message: "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available." When I'm trying to update my Note 3. How to fix this? Sorry for noob question.

When you flashed the stock rom was it the ODIN flash rom which can be found and
downloaded from http://SamMobile.com ?
There are a lot of twrp/cwm flashable stock roms but if you want to make your phone stock
so it can get OTA updates the stock official rom must be the odin flash type and you need to
un-install root then do a full wipe before odin flashing the official stock rom.
Good luck!

No.
1. CWM = Custom Recovery. Anything but stock recovery cannot install an official OTA.
2. If you didn't have CWM and had stock recovery, Xposed and Wanam shouldn't matter when doing the OTA, all you have to do is reinstall the Xposed Framework afterwards inside the framework menu.
3. If you want to do this update, you must go back on stock ROM, meaning you will have to flash the current firmware in Odin which would delete all your data and root. Perform the update then hope you can still root, if necessary.
