Dear friend ota will not work if you root your phone. Unroot your first then try ota. If you still encounter problems. Do you a full flash of your rom either via kies or odin

Hi,can u tell me full steps how 2 unroot it(galaxy grand 2) as i am new 2 android

If you have backup of the stock unrooted rom provided by the manufacturer. Just do a restore via recovery. If not download the stock firware (unrooted original version) and flash it via kies. Your Samsung will be back to normal factory mode with unrooted. Rooting the phone will lead loss of warranty too dude. Hope you know this.
Thanks will be appreciated.

Hello,
something went wrong, the update is interrupted, now trying again ..
Odin returns a message:There is no PIT partition.
If someone is doing a backup, I`d be grateful for .PIT file
Thanks in advance

[Q] How to update my software while rooted?

Hello guys, Is there anyway to update my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 rooted to the latest android version lollipop? I rooted it 1 year ago so it's still kitkat. So, again. Is there any other way to update my phone without downloading roms from the developer section? Thanks in advance! If there's no way, What is the current best rom for my phone?

By default it will not delete data using Mobile ODIN, But it's good to do hard reset if you upgrade to Lillipop.
For rooting Lillipop by keeping Knox 0x0 you can use MOP.
this method. Lollipop
If you are on N9005 download this ROM, for N900 download this ROM.

It stuck in loading screen ("Samsung" animation when starting up the phone) I've been waiting for 10 mins and it's still the same, I restarted all but no hope. What happened?

Remove your battery for 2 minutes, then turn it on into Recovery mode, clear cache and reboot again.
If still issue is present then again go into recovery and wipe data.

It's fixed now, Thanks!

Russian and kazakhstan lollipop have the same changelist 4928340 - how it can be better? I heared that all these versions periodically lose sim cards (need reboot).

You can install TWRP with ODIN and TWRP will ask you to install SuperSu
After reboot Supersu will update its binary. And you'll have root.

Just done it about a month ago on my E5, No risk at all and I downgraded successfully to KitKat from Lollipop. Just download the KitKat firmware and flash it via Odin, just make sure after flash that you boot to recovery and perform full data wipe.
Hopefully Samsung hasn't locked our Lollipop bootloader and KitKat package has the old bootloader and because of that there is no problems after downgrade.

Anybody knows how to downgrade from MM 6.0.1 to KK 4.4.4 on 910C

Hello Guys,
I'm a little bit disappointed with 6.0.1, because a huge battery drain and want to back on old 4.4.4. Indeed it is old, but work really fast and battery life is much better.
Unfortunately bootloader is locked and couldn't successfully flash via Odin KK 4.4.4 firmware.
Do anybody have idea is there a chance to do that?

I'm going to downgrade too and just downloaded 4 files (pit and so on files), but didn't do that yet.
The question is: you tried to downgrade with 4 files or only with 1 file?
Thanks.

You can go back to 5.1.1 but it gets stuck after that. Trying to go back to 5.0.2 doesn't work.

i tried the pit file but not the 4 files method but didn't work , also i removed bootloader file from 4.4.4 sw and flashed it with odin successfully but got boot loop

you can not downgrade your phone to 5.0.1 and 4.4.4 ,samsung has put bootloader lock during COJ5

You can't go back to 4.4.4. You can only downgrade to 5.1.1 coj5.
//Sad for 910C. 910G bl is not locked.

still there is a possible JTAG solution , search it and you might find the methods
