[Q] Rooted, but can't update firmware?

Hi guys, so I rooted my phone a while ago, and didn't have any problems with it. However, now, while I'm on 4.3, Android released a new update. I tried downloading this update and installing, but it didn't work. I tried putting it on my sd card and then booting into recovery to install the zip from my SD card on Clockwork Recovery, but that just said (bad) and aborted installation.
How am I supposed to update my phone using the official downloaded update.zip that I have?

I just downloaded Kies3. My region is XEH (Hungary). It says there's a new update. Should I just upgrade my firmware and it should work or is there something special to it?

New step update for e7 after kitkat

Just randomly check if there was any update for our e7 and to my surprise there was.
It's a small step upgrade to improve random app crashes n fix random reboot issue.
Art he'd it's the screen short... Njoi..

Were you able to root your phone after the update?
Because for me the update disabled root and I'm not able to root again. Tried using kingoroot and vroot.
Edit: root working fine. Had a problem because of poor internet connection.

That's because you've deleted some of the system apps. Restore them and try to update again.

Got it also, but can't update with less than 35% of battery charge...
Later i'll update the system...
gagas1
If you didn't deleted or uninstalled the app "Amigo Note", just clear cache and data from this app

I updated my phone with success.

Hey I updated also.. But have one question, why we have the Gameloft stupid games and some apps now after Kitkat update?? Can I uninstall them? Or it's going to be a problem in future?

HI. I tried to upgrade my Elife E7 kitkat (flashing months ago with E7_0301_v8143_KKv2_CWM-FORUMPITTECH.zip and TWRP recovery...) but I get an error when system is verified ... /system/priv-app/Amigo_Navi Launcher.apk has unexpected contents... I haven't deleted any file. I tried to flash Indiam Rom with kitkat from the beginning but nothing, Ican't upgrade it and get the same error.... What can I do? Can someone upload this apk file?? Thanks

If the app managers gives u an option to uninstall then u can do that. but do not root uninstall, then ota would be a prob.

Don't think the zip would help you.

Oh yea custom system

MSL hotspot hack is still working

Wrong forum

i was wondering if its possible for me to flash this if i am oe1 with twrp and a custom rom?

Anyone order a brick?

Why is everyone so eager to take the OTA? I would wait until a developer can decompile it, see what's in it, and then extract what isn't needed and update they're custom roms. For me I'm still on ob7 and I'm waiting until a dev updates a rom.

If you want to take update download kies for pc and update that way. Don't just take it the way you are now it's going to fail.

Thanks bro, finally there is custom recovery for our devices.
I got questions though:
1. Woluld they work on A300-fu?
2. Would they work kitkat?
Also, it would be helpful for A3 users if somebody could share those mods and deodex from that website to XDA since I couldn't understand how they to make them work.

Hi all! I've made a TWRP recovery for GALAXY A3! I can't test it because I don't have an A3 but if you test please tell me if it's work
This recovery is probably working on all A300x variants, flash it using Flashify.
It's made for LL (Lollipop) but you can try on KitKat

Can anyone tell me how is the initial impression of the update?
Performance? Multitasking? Battery?

you have to change numbers on file to 221.21.56. This should be written on OP.
