Hello everyone, i am new to xda and need help with my rooted samsung galaxy s4 i9500 running android 4.4.2 with build number I9500XXUFNG1 and phone status says CUSTOM, i live in India
i rooted my s4 using chainfire auto root a few months back and also installed cwm, both using odin.. and since then i have flashed aicp 4.4.4 rom and then got back to the stock rom using the backup i created by cwm beofre flashing the rom
last night i got an ota update of 112mb saying it'll update knox from v1.0 to 2.0 and my phone auto downloaded it although i havent installed it yet
so my question is, should i update my phone, let the update install, would it do any harm knowing it is rooted ? would i brick my phone if i install the update ? would i lose root access if i update ? what is the way out ? should i un root my phone and then install the update and then re root again ? since my phone is rooted, it shouldnt receive ota update than why have i received one ? what are my options ? plz help me out..any kinda help will be appreciated...! thanks a mil..!

Hi,
I'm new on this forum, Guys i have got a small issue after SU root on my Galaxy TAB 2 P3100, OTA have stopped working now my device won't lok-up for OTA update . I have successfully installed Ver. 4.1.1 but want OT to work ANY help will be appreciated.
Seems you installed the 4.1.1 which isn't from your country, did you?
I can't search for ota too because i flashed the one for uk. But it doesn't matter if there is a update available you can download it on sammobile and flash it with odin.
I recently updated my Note 2 N-7100 to android 4.3
and then I heard of framaroot.
I downloaded the latest version i.e 1.8
selected aragorn
and a failure message showed up.
I am totally new to rooting and don't know a thing yet
How to root my phone?
I have a galaxy s2 (I9100) which is upgraded to the latest official build.Few days back I rooted it succesfully and modded it with CM 11 .Due to an old issue in the radio transmitter , I flashed the official mod in order to send it to the customer care, without setting the binary count back to zero , which result into bricking the phone.Still the employees of samsung accepted the phone and by some or the other means , they were able to unbrick and unroot it and flashed the official kernel.Now yesterday I decided to root the phone again to flash MIUI mod. But I saw the mod count changed to "1" .I tried the "triangle away " app but it needs it to be rooted.Can I proceed in rooting phone ?
Hi Guys,
i have some questions concerning rooting. I have a stock Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F) with T-Mobile branding. I would like to install a Custom ROM because my battery life is so bad but i love this phone (for example because of its water resistance and the fact that my hobby is diving ).
So my plan is:
1. root my device and install a custom Nougat ROM (to change the screen resolution)
2. when the official update is out i want to go back to stock Firmware
3. now my question: Is it possible to receive OTA Updates after getting back to stock firmware?
I know know is set to 0x1 after a root and im going to lose my varranty but thats no problem, i would only like to receive OTA Updates after going back to stock firmware.
Thank you for your help!
Greetings from Munich and have a great new Year 2017
Hi!
As long as your device is stock, recovery included, you should receive the ota no problem. So flashing stock firmware and recovery should do the trick. :good:
Don't accept an ota if you do happen to get an update notification, if you are not completely stock. It will fail.
Last resort too, is flashing an updated version manually. If that's possible for your device.
Good luck!
