Stock with root now what? - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If you accept the updates and if it goes through, yes, you would lose the root.
Are you sure you are completely rooted? Because you shouldn't be receiving those update notifications if you are.

Yes! Sorry for that. I did some research & if you update you will lose root provided you are using the stock recovery & bootloader. If u are using a different one,ur phone might not boot after updating. If you are using a stock bootloader I suggest u update,lose root & root again

Yes, you will lose root for sure because that's what happened to my friend. However, after update I re-rooted for him. I know it's tedious but that's what you have to go through.

Or u can download the ota file in zip format & flash using recovery. It'll work as long as you are using stock ROM with no modifications. & most likely you won't lose root

I don't think so. After update the phone might not boot & keep going into recovery. I suggest u flash stock recovery & then update & fish twrp again. Or you could try your luck and update & let's see what happens.

Yeah locking the bootloader would work, you need to return 100% to stock though, so factory software it was shipped with, I don't know whether you still have that or if you can grab it from the official sony site, there is probably a copy of it in the forums

Running PC Companion with an unlocked bootloader is lethal. You could wait it out like PhxkinMassacre said,or skip the reverting to stock,but the bootloader is a must lock.

here's what I suggest since you debloated. Your bootloader needs to be unlocked and you need to have a custom recovery like twrp installed.
Once you have that taken care of, flash the rooted 2.20 ROM posted by scrosler.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1812459
this way you get all of the features of the OTA except the Radio, but that can be flashed separately.
You also retain root, and keep the ability to flash kernels and radios from recovery in the future.

I don't know if you answered this already, but I found the solutions over at this thread:
wantabe said:
It's a little late for this probably but for future reference if you are rooted and want to stop receiving OTA updates remove/rename/delete HtcOMADM_ATT.apk and HtcOMADM_ATT.odex from system/apps, wipe cache and dalvik. If you want to remove "AT&T software update" from the "Settings" then remove HtcOMADM_SettingsPlugin_ATT.apk and HtcOMADM_SettingsPlugin_ATT.odex from system/apps, wipe cache and dalvik.

Looks like a Verizon S3 ota update is imminent

Nothing too earth shattering if you read the official statement from Verizon, but may have a fix for those with SIM troubles.

right, the safest way to update is to restore back to stock, stock kernel, and DEFINITELY re-lock your bootloader if you have it unlocked.

I wouldn't do it if I were you. Not while rooted....Can brick your phone I heard.
Do not update if u are rooted.
Well if you can't update while rooted, what are you supposed to do if it auto updates? I was just sitting in bed and noticed that my notification went off on my phone and not on my tablet (meaning not email). I checked the phone and if I hadn't noticed it would have auto updated and I am rooted on stock. It said the update would start in 3 minutes after I heard the notification. I deferred until tomorrow and have my phone how I want it, so I really don't want to go back to stock. I suppose I could make a nandroid.
It really scares me though that Verizon almost pushed an update that could have potentially bricked my phone. I don't think that is right, quite honestly.

i just did this on my new KK g2, already had 4.4.2 on it when i got it friday and i asked this question in another thread, but didnt get a response. so this method of rooting will not keep us from getting future OTAs but will more than likely loose root, is that what you are saying? and that this method may not work on say 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 (which just hit the nexus 5)?

but will more than likely loose root... correct, but there are apk's that can prevent it
and that this method may not work on say 4.4.3 or 4.4.4... correct
Duties otas will probably beak root, yes.. And threes methods may not work.. But, who's saying that 4.4.3 comes to the G2, as it just saw 4.4.2.
4.5 is right around the corner..

Just to confirm i'm understanding this correctly, if i just install these two APKs i'd have root access and a recovery on my phone? I'm currently on Android 4.2.2.
Any reason not to do it in this manner, or a more recommended way of doing it?
Giggity gooooo. Thanks been waiting for something like this! Worked great! Gonna try out the G3 rom soon

Can we change the the system language from Italian to English? And does the new fw recognize other phone networks outside of Italy?

I see. Still, I heard there are problems concerning the new FW about the tablet being unrooted if you flash KK on it and the samsung logo not appearing in the booting screen. Is there any way for the root to stay? I already know that there are a few bug issues in the software like the fast battery drain and I can handle that but the root though...I don't really want my device being bricked or whatever. I'm still a newbie about this so I wanted to find more information if possible before doing anything first.

I know it's official and everthing but that's not what I'm worried about. My tablet's already rooted with a custom rom and a blackhawk kernel in it. I read from the other posts that you'd be stuck in the booting screen if you flash the KK due to the logo missing and that you'll lose the root and will never be rooted again due to KK leaving a signature on the build or something. I'm not exactly sure what steps to take to prevent it though and I wanted to flash KK so bad. I just want to know if anyone knows how to flash KK in my already rooted tablet without encountering those two issues I just stated above.
Anyone?

You can always get root access again either by pre-rooting the firmware or by a custom recovery image in several different ways.

I don't think I can do the pre-rooting one. My computer doesn't run in Linux and I'm currently out of the country (and probably will be for months) to do anything about it.
Can you please tell me how to do it using custom recovery? You mentioned that there are different ways to do it?
