I have a sprint galaxy s3 and i received an ota update. My phone software was L710VPBLJ7 4.1.1. After the update my phone is now L710VPBMB1 4.1.2. I rooted my phone with odin and the zip i downloaded is root66_L710VPBLJ7. Do i need to download a different zip with the new software to give my phone root access?

I bought a used Note 32gb N8013 from Amazon and it's rooted the only problem is that it's is on version 4.0.4 and I can't update it through the normal status update or through KIES. How do I update my new to me note? I know it is rooted because I got one of the root checker apps and when I tried the OTA update it brought me to CWM. I'm not worried about losing root

OTA fails with root .
Suggest factory reset then update via Kies .
Or flash stock rom from sammobile.com or xda .

Hi
I rooted my note 10.1 quite a while ago (~6 months)
The method I used I believe was to flash something using odin (cf autoroot? )
Anyway I just wanted root to be able to use sixaxis but was happy with stock rom. Now it has been a while I would like to update my rom and by going into su and temporarily disabling root I can download the ota update from samsung but it refuses to install.
Does anyone know a way to just remove root so I can install the ota update and not have to do a full wipe.
I could download the rom from samsungfirmware and then install with odin but would that not require a wipe?
Thanks

No suggest you use Kies .
I recently rooted my phone yesterday actually with towelroot by just flashing to the ncg kernel stock then rooting then back up to the NK2 kernel stock. My phone wont update to the new Lolipop update with root so i unrooted by simpily using the SU app and it claims my phone is unrooted but when i try to update the OTA it downloads and reboots my phone syas its ready to install then it says no changes were made cannot install update at this time or something like that.
Hello all,
I own a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus (GT-P6210) and have a few questions or considerations to make.
I searched the forum for answers but cannot find it.
Currently my tab is not rooted or running custom firmware.
Android version 3.2 Honeycomb is installed since the purchase, but I cannot download updates.
The OTA updater says no update available and the Samsung Kies software also says 3.2 is the most recent version.
On the internet I find lots of news articles writing about Samsung official update to ICS 4.0 and even JB, which I cannot download.
Does somebody know how to get official update from Samsung for the tablet?
If not, I consider rooting the tablet and download the official firmware myself.
After a lot of research I have some question marks for the procedure.
I want to install CWM with root.
Backup my Android 3.2 ROM via CWM.
Update Android 3.2 to 4.1 via Odin.
But, as far as I know, the root access will be removed when using Odin to flash official firmware.
CWM does not work without root, so how will I get root access after flashing Android 4.1?
Sorry for the large story, but I do not know how to write this shorter.
I am looking forward to your replies.
After installing the updated firmware you redo the root procedure and install cwm again, after you can use Romtoolbox to remove unwanted Samsung bloatware and lighten you ROM so as to speed up your tab.

First, you need to upgrade your tab to 4.1 with odin. You can find the firmware at sammobile. Then flash cwm/twrp from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2538507
To root you can flash supersu 2.46
Thanks for your replies!
I am using Android 4.1 now for a few months on the tablet, works great!
Very happy that Odin did good work.
If I use Odin to flash this(which should be last OTA) can I then root with PingPong?

Also is there just an update file I can flash instead?
I just rooted OE2 with ping-pong so your all good!
And now you can't flash an update file
You can't flash an update when rooted, but the Verizon Update Assistant software, or Samsung's neW KIES replacement software (can't remember the name) you can flash a new update and wipe phone like new, so you lose nothing by rooting!
I was rooted in Stock firmware and now I'm on the latest firmware and rooted!
