[Q] Rooting and still getting ota updates - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, sorry if this has been asked but I can't find the answer anywhere. Is it possible to root my note 10.1 and still get OTA updates and it will still keep root. Also what are some benefits that you will get for rooting on this device. I used to have a Asus Transformer and I was able to root it and still have OTA updates and it would stay rooted.

I think that the benefits of root are in the Apps that requires root.
Some examples:
*Gesture control
*multiwindow manager
*spen control

You can be rooted and still get ota updates by keeping stock recovery. Updates will most likely remove root but as long as they don't lock the bootloader you will always be able to root again. Easily.

Go to sammobile.com and use ODIN or Mobile ODIN to flash updates/rom...

You need official in download mode and official in status is order to get ota. I was rooted with official status in both areas but certain apps trigger the custom mode. I did triangle away to get official in download mode but you need to do a reset to rid the custom in status... and I cant be bothered to set mine up again so havent done it.
Search for triangle away in the store.

Hey guys. Just got an LTE version of the Notepro. I went to update it, first thing. It says that my software version has been modified and that updates are not available. Having just unpacked the device. Is this something i should be worried about or just send it back?

Basically its a german lte version. They all seem to be affected. If samsung does fix this, could the update go through, despite this message?
Checked knox and its stil 0x0. So this is a bug.

But in the case they fix this could an update go through via Ota or kies, even when it says this.

All my Samsung devices are rooted, and none take the OTA with the same "your device has been modified" error. All are upgradable through Kies without any issue. Just went to KK on my S4 and Note 10.1 (2014) via Kies without any problems at all.

KK is KitKat (4.4.2 for the S4 and Note 10.1). Yes, Kies seems to bypass even the knox counter. *IF* it is confirmed that all the German LTE devices are doing this, I would not worry. If it's just yours, I'd send it back. But if it is all of them, you will always be able to update via Kies and I would suspect the first update would fix this OTA issue.
I have the same problem with mine, Italian Note Pro LTE. After the first OTA the status changed to Modified. I have also tried with ODIN to reflash, but it is still Modified. Obviously the Note Pro has not been modified or rooted in any way.
It seems a common problem.

Hi. If we want to update thorough Kies and we are on custom recovery, should we first flash stock recovery?? Thanks.

Kies doesn't use recovery.

I read in the Singapore hardware zone forums that they too had ths problem with the LTE version. With the latest March (Singapore is one of the first to get it), the problem was fixed. They were able to fix it with an OTA update. So my advice for now is just hang in there untill the update arrives. I for example just returned my unit and waiting for the update.

[Q] Is there any way to root VZW Samsung Galaxy s4 sch-i545 5.0.1?

I stupidly updated when the ota update came out. No new threads for any roots have came up in a couple months. So I was just wondering if there were any root ways out there. Thanks!

ROOT OTA Updates

Hi,
If rooted do we still get updates from google? or you have to stay updated via the ROM's update?
Thanks
Of your talking apps then yes, if your talking the OS, you shouldn't. But if somehow is ask to update, pass on it, it will unroot your phone

Use Odin
Link for the FW.
Follow this link for the firmware update.
It has the most recent update available for our phone other than OTA. It is 5.1.1 and there are instructions and a link to the ODIN software.
I finally got it to work, thanks anyways I'm on og7

Glad you got it

The link above has OG5. Good. Smartswitch gives you OG7. Better. OTA is OG9. Required for Samsung Pay.
Question: How long does it take for Smartswitch version to catch up to OTA?
Answered my own question. OTA was on 10/16. Today on 10/23, OG9 is available on Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant. I assume Smartswitch would've also had it if i tried it first.

Nougat Beta??

Has anybody been able to enter the Samsung beta Program?
Dumping files for us for G930T? The G930F already posted the Odin files for Nougat Beta
yes
The 14th should be when it's released to the accepted registered beta testers. The dates are posted in the beta app
9th for Sprint, 11th for Verizon, 14th for TMO
Thanks every one, hope someone dump does files for us
Whoever gets the update tomorrow. PULL THR UPDATE ZIP!
If I get it I will and post it. I have ready done this from my wife's sprint edge variant.
Here is how you do it:
You have to be on the latest firmware and not rooted.
If you get the update notification.
Download it, but do not install it.
Then root your device. DO NOT WIPE IT
The update.zip is located in /data/fota/update.zip
Pull it using adb or use root Explorer to move it to the root of your SDCard and then your pc.
Please wait for someone to verify it works before flashing the update or unroot.
Unfortunately I will not be able to pull said update as I do not want to root my device. I require working Knox and other benefits.

After you root you can go back to stock, then flash the latest update.zip you shared with everyone. Knox and everything will work just fine

No. I've rooted and gone back to stock. Knox and Samsung pay work for me with no issues.

Only on the Exynos S7.
We use an engineering kernel that's signed by Samsung for root, so it doesn't trip Knox.
The root method for us doesnt trigger knox.
If I could Pull the update.zip It would be a pleasure but it was Full for register when I tried.
I'll see if I can pull the file for you gentlemen and ladies. I just don't really need root so I have not put attention to the rooting method since the note 5?
