How can I perform OTA update on rooted 4.4.2

Well as the title says is there any way to install the OTA update on my rooted Note 3 with leaked 4.4.2?
I have SuperSU pro installed and ticked the survival mode. Can I flash the update somehow or do I need to unroot it install the update and root it again?
Thanks in advance for your help

you will need to do it again,
flash official 4.4.2 with odin then re-root and install your custom recovery ect

Wait the unroot option on SuperSU pro does not work? I am already in the 4.4.2 leaked version, but I want to install the latest OTA update available.

Once rooted, no more OTA updates. End of the story

Not available there yet. I need the OTA file as well, I had gotten the OTA update, then ended up accidentally wiping /system while messing around getting it rooted, like an idiot. Managed to downgrade back to MM but bootloader was still showing BQJ2 version, so OTA denied all the same (cannot downgrade BL, smh). Ended up flashing Lineage 14.1 for now, until the OTA comes available.
Scoured the internet looking for the OTA, plenty of sites waiting for links so whoever uploads the OTA first, monetize your link, lol!

Yes it can easily be done by flashtool.. And some other options are pc companion and emma.. If you have unlocked your bootloader then you cant ever update phone through emma or pc companion.. But if your boot loader is locked then after flashing stock firmware you are free to update your phone as u want. Current latest firmware available for d6603 is 23.5.A.1.291.

do you recommend any country specific? bc there are some countries that have more bloatware than others, also better performance

as far as I have experienced the customisations are present for country specific models.. you must flash ftf belonging to your country only..

Nougat is not compatible with flashtool yet.

Yeah, learned the hard and annoying way.
I had to find an old marshmallow firmware and then OTA upate that. Thankfully I found a central europe one that I wanted anyways.

Ok, thanks. But with an open bootloader a OTA update is not possible... Or think i wrong?

Correct, you cannot update OTA with an unlocked bootloader.
So, you should re-lock it, flash a MM FTF and then do the OTA and unlock again.
Just use the updated flashtool (v0.9.23.0) to flash a 7.0 FTF

According to the changelog on Flashtool website, it now supports Nougat. Try re-downloading the latest (0.9.23.0) from: http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php

That´s it The new version comes on the right time for me !!!! Now it´s possible to flash the newest Nougat-Version with the Flashtool. Great. Thanks for your note on the right time for me!

It actually does not work for me at all, need a second opinion and more testing with this latest flashtool version

I can confirm using the TMB Odin files that if you don't use a userdata or CSC (Just AP CP and BL) for the ATT, it works fine.

What's the advantage of flashing at&t user data? Phone setting for wifi call etc...? Also if flashing user data will it reset the phone?
Thank you

You need to download and flash the U1 (US unlocked) firmware first, fully wipe, and flash it. Then you can download and flash the TMB U (T-Mobile) firmware and flash it. You can get the firmware from SamFirm, Updato, or from other threads where users have uploaded them to make them easier to download.

Did you use the modded or patched ODIN from the OP in this thread? Did you enable Developer Options and enable USB Debugging? What firmware is your device on and which firmware did you try to flash? The bootloader version must be the same or newer (higher number) than what you are flashing over. U1 1ARBG for example can't be flashed over U 2ARC6. The bootloader version is the 5 character from the left in your build number in Settings, About Phone, Software Information.

There's no v3 bootloader for U1. If your already on v3, that's why it's failing. You need go wait for the U1 update. Probably some time next month. Someone in another thread said the U1 is only getting quarterly updates, which on the current cycle would be end of next month

Yes! 3ARG7 is bootloader v3, noted by the 3 in 3ARG7. Until U1 comes out with the v3 bootloader, you are stuck on your current firmware.

You have to flash the U1 unlock firmware then to t-mobile. Directly from one carrier to another won't work
