I'm currently on clean Rom 2.5 I flashed the G7 radios through recovery instead of going back to stock and accepting the OTA. Do I need to do any thing special before I ODIN back to stock?
The reason for going back to stock is to test some stuff with USB OTG. I plan on accepting the OTA then rooting and unlocking again as soon as I can.
No just flash the stock rom in odin and accept the updates.

I have the SCH-I535 and I took the OTA and I'm running 4.3 with a locked bootloader. I've downloaded safestrap and have successfully got a recovery and even flashed the Alliance Rom and used it for over a month. I decided to switch over and try the M.O.A.R rom and everything seemed to go smoothly. I flashed the appropriate modem that the download instructions told me to use and then flashed the rom, all after doing a clean wipe first of course. But after I rebooted I now have the dreaded System software not authorized message. Has anybody figured out how to fix this without going back to stock unrooted?
Which modem did you flash? Because there's a two fold problem that you're likely facing:
a) you flashed the Sprint modem that is mentioned in the MOAR OP, cuz the rom is a port from Sprint. If you did this, you may have semi-hard bricked your S3.
b) you flashed the Verizon modem, which you aren't supposed to do with a locked bootloader.
Being on the 4.3 OTA, literally the only things you should be concerned with flashing are TouchWiz roms and also kernel modules which enable WiFi.
You're going to need Odin flash VRUCML1 if you cannot access the rom or Safestrap.

Thank you guys in advance for your help but I just had a few questions. I am running 4.4.2 currently with the stock rom rooted and unlocked bootloader. I have however issued a few Mods such as extreme power saving and built in tether. Can I just load the 4.4.4 firmware and radios, switch back to stock recovery and take the OTA to 4.4.4 without having to wipe anything or since I have used some mods do I now have to wipe my device and put everything back after getting the 4.4.4 update. The reason I ask is I like having the stock features while just using google now launcher on top of sense. Also would any of you have a recommendation on a ROM to achieve this same thing so I dont have to go through this everytime I want to take the newest OTA if it is not possible to take without wiping.

Flash the ruu here. That will get you to 4.4.3 the easy way and make you 100% stock so you can take the ruu. Then flash twrp and flash su or the rooted Rom of your choosing.
The RUU is one way to go, although I would never update via OTA...
Another would be to flash the firmware and radios from here:

And then Scott's rooted stock rom from here:

He usually has them up a few hours after a new OTA has been released. Even better - try his stock, debloated CleanROM once it's out.
This way you can keep your recovery. You can even try to just flash the 4.4.4 firmware and radios and see if it runs your current 4.2 ROM ok. But I would not update the rom from version to version without a wipe.
The setup is the price to pay for getting a new and hopefully better Android version.
Is there another way to flash firmware without having to odin the stock, reroot, reflash. On the new moar but firmware is the same...something is clearly new, the keyboard vibrates now. So if moar is working does firmware mean nothing?
Hi all, I'm sorry if this is a stupid question but I just wanted to make sure I don't mess up my phone.
So I had flashed a Custom ROM (Resurrection Remix) on my Galaxy S7, but after a while I wanted to reflash it back to stock 8.0 Oreo which I have done successfully. Now of course the knox counter has been tripped, however the phone is unrooted and also no longer has TWRP as its recovery (just the standard android recovery now).
Now that I have flashed it back to stock, would it be safe to perform OTA updates on the phone? Someone had told me it would not be possible as I had flashed a custom ROM before and I just wanted to get some other opinions.
Thanks in advance!
OTA updates gonna work fine
Hey, I'm on cm11 and wondering if it'll be safe to flash a stock based ROM in twrp. I don't have a working usb data cable so can't use odin and just want to return to stock based at this time. Thanks
