I had rooted my note 3 sm-n9005, and I cannot update via OTA. Hence I update to the latest firmware via kies 3.
After update via kies, the root is gone.
I thought now my phone was back to stock, I tried again update via OTA, it still failed. Said my phone is modified. I wonder,didn't I update back to stock firmware ? Why still saying it is modified?
I checked my current binary and system status in download mode, they are custom, why they are not stuck as I already update to the latest firmware?

i thought if i reflash to stock firmware i would be able to OTA
So now Odin will be my best friend while updating xD
Means once I rooted my phone (No matter I unroot it after that),I will never able to update via OTA right?

Which firmware did u flash ?
Try reflashing the firmware...or reflash but wipe all data (this with delete all data). .. Is that firmware XXXXXBNG4??
I have also downloaded from the same site but it works perfect with me.. . Try reflashing or take it to a nearby samsung :fingers-crossed: store... .
i have a question regarding updating to the latest firmware. it seem like after i root with cf root i am unable to update via ota and kies just doesn't seem to work ( freeze after downloading )

thanks and appreciate for the upcoming replys !

After root, it's ONLY possible to update the firmware via Kies and/or Odin. It's NOT possible to update via FOTA!

Use Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Firmware Browser' to find and download the correct firmware for your device, and flash via Odin.
No data will be lost, so don't worry.
Thank for answering ?

hi ,
in short.....
you cannot "receive " OTA update when you are rooted .
(Sometimes it might download Ota, but will not install )
To update software,the correct way is to unroot first ( via Super user app ..etc )
flash new updated , Rom via Odin and root again ! ( make sure its correct Rom, for your device )
Above procedure is quick and fast ( eg. under 30 min ) and its better ,than to "sit " and wait .............for
months for service provider to "push " update .
good luck

No need to un-root, just flash the stock firmware for your device via Odin.
Root will be lost, as the rooting files is stored in the system partition, and when you flash the stock firmware via Odin, the current system partition will be replaced by a new one.
But your data + your apps will be reserved (as they are stored in the userdata partition, and this partition is intact while flashing).

Problem: Unable to ROOT device from the moderator ~~~~~ SOLVED
Solution: ???
Backstory
I was rooted on the previous stock build (G900PVPU1BOA6). Then thought it would be a good idea to update firmware before flashing the Mother of All Roms (MOAR) . Little did I know that it was only for G900PVPU1BOA6. Since I couldn't update directly through phone I updated through Samsung Kies. ( Removing ROOT and Twrp). Then I wanted to start fresh. ( Everything back to default factory settings). Then I tried rooting again (CF auto ROOT) and installing a custom recovery (Twrp) but then Odin v3.07 failed a quarter of the way through. (Failed authentication).
If anyone has a solution please feel free to message me[/FONT]
