Question about updates - General Questions and Answers

Hello everyone, I have a rooted note 2 with basically stock everything, when I download the official update 4.3 comes out, will I lose root? And can I download the update if I have root?

If you didn't disable OTA updates, then it should download automatically. And yes, you will lose root, but it shouldn't be to hard to root again.
Hope this helped

Just a question about the 4.0.4 update via Odin. Will this delete your apps and app data? I don't want to lose my place in all of my games. I don't care about email, calendar or contacts since that's all stored in the cloud (Google).
Had this same issue.. trying to update on the device itself resulted in booting into CWM and then giving an error.
You can update using KIES though without losing your data. You will however have to re-root + install CWM again afterwards.

I am rooted and disabled the update notifications they got annoying lol. I don't see anything on the big 2 about an OTA, so I doubt its my 3113, but just in case I wanted to double check
I am waiting for the update before I restore to stock lol.
You can flash the ota update by using chain fires mobile Odin..... Just download the update and flash it

If that was to me, I understand that and appreciate your response, however the last OTA update on sammy mobile and sammy-updates are from 9/18 thus why I was curious if there was something new for me that they haven't posted yet.
If there is no new update, then I won't bother with the older one, which had a few different bugs that were going to annoy me.
the experince is amazing here is my video review :laugh:
It's great. Mine used to keep disconnecting from my wifi.
Now I'm trying to figure out how to revert back to ICS so I can wait for the official OTA to release. Otherwise it's nice.

Hey guys,
I just bought a used Galaxy S3 today and it gave me the option to update to JellyBean. I opted to defer the update because I wasn't sure if there were any advantages/disadvantages to rooting the phone from ICS or whether updating to JB and rooting would be the same thing. What do you guys think?
Thanks in advance!

Take the ota. Follow the guide posted from above. Works flawless. And it wouldnt matter either way . But id just do the above guide. More simplier to me. Enjoy.

You can root the ICS with "Root Debug FS" then use "OTA Rootkeeper" to save the root. Take the OTA then use "OTA Rootkeeper" to restore then reboot and you will have full root.
Yes, JB OTA can be rooted, though it requires a few extra steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35418324

[Q] CWM and OTA updates

Hi,
I Just purchased a nexus 5, which I rooted using CF-AutoRoot. Can I still apply OTA updates in the future? If yes, can I install CWM and still get OTA updates? I wont be changing the rom, or kernel. Just wanted root access for certain apps
Thanks
Hi,
All you need is here: [INFO] Nexus 5 OTA Help-Desk (should be a sticky thread).
And Question thread goes in Q&A forum, not in General forum
I short, if you change anything, you can't update via OTA

In the superSU app settings you can set/check survival mode for when installing an OTA. You should remain rooted after installing the OTA. If you have CWM you cannot install the OTA in the regular way. See post above OTA Helpdesk.

OTA Update

Hello guys, i rooted my device like 3 months ago and i felt like it really disabled my OTA update. Whenever i checked for such, it always says my system is the latest version. My question is, HOW DO I KNOW IF MY OTA UPDATE IS STILL WORKING OR NOT? I've searched for answers for like days. I think maybe its time to ask for answers here.
Your replies are well appreciated. Thanks in advance. :cheers:

if you've just got a rooted stock then when you do ota you lose root access, if you got a custom rom forget about ota altogether, rooted users are supposed to update their firmware/rom manually through custom recovery or flashing software(such as odin) always keep a couple backups around, be it nandroid or titanium bakups, now there are some apps out there that say they'll let you keep root after ota but i do not know how well they work, if you've just got a rooted stock, go back to stock, update to latest version, enable usb debugging, and use kingo on your pc(google it) for hassle free 2 second rooting process that works on just about any android device, and wouldnt take mor ethan 2 seconds to do again if you lose root after OTA next time

no you cant have a OTA update because youre running a custom rom.. mostly only stock rom and kernels can run OTA.

well if you just rooted, no custom rom, then the software that handles OTA must still be there, however, depending the method you used, the OTA might not work anymore or even be disabled on purpose so that you do not lose root upon update, simply, backup, flash back to a regular stock, then use kingo, then do an OTA after root to check if it works, then once you're certain your phone works fine and has OTA, restore your apps, data, contacts, and settings from your backup(make sure you backed all those up of course) as well as your sdcard and/or internal memory files, back those up too since depending on what flashing software you use or how you **** up(it's normal we all do it ) you may delete its contents, and there you should have a rooted stock phone that has OTA and you can root back after rly quick and easy.....
