KK..like i posted before, i rooted my note using the first method. Thats is i flash a root injected ics european stock rom because i just wanted root and didnt want my count to go up. Now i want to update to jellybean via OTA. Will i loose my root? if i loose my root it means i have to use cwm recovery method, i dont want that. and there is no root injected jellybean stock rom. so please can someone tell me how to go about it? thanks
If you're rooted you can't update OTA. Simplest thing would be to install the stock rom using PC Odin and reroot using Chainfire's Exynos Abuse or just flash the rom on Mobile and Odin with root injection.

how do I do that
I suppose 3 things.
1) Search. If that's your response you don't know enough about what the risks are. Just use google. The forum isn't here to do your work for you.
2) Read. A lot. For the same reason.
3) Try saying please.
I don't want to sound like an arse but all the information you need is right here and is easy to find. It's rude to expect it of others when you can't be bothered yourself.
The thread you should start with though is probably http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050297

thanks for the response even though you sound so hash.
Hello,
The rooting process was very simple and smooth, I rooted the device because I wanted to try different fonts, everything was succesfful, no issues. Since I don't have much knowledge about "Your phone's life after rooting", I would like to ask you . .

I'll be getting the notification of "Android L is avalible, tap to download and install". . . will everything go fine If I just tap and update my Nexus 5 to Android L via OTA, Do I need to unroot the device first and then upgrade it to Android L ?
Nothing should go wrong if I update it officialy via OTA, right ?
I don't care if my root access goes after updating, so it's ok for me.
Thank you

This is all covered in sticky threads. Read OTA Help-Desk which you can get to via my signature.
However I would recommend learning more about being rooted and not taking OTA's at all, as that's super-noob

I did read those stickies, I gained more knowledge though. Thank you
Well sir, I don't mind being called super noob. I just want to update it to Android L without unrooting my Nexus 5. Is that possible ?

Flash a pre-rooted zip of Android L when it comes out via recovery
Thank you, but what will happen if I update it via OTA ? My bootloader is locked though. Just the phone is rooted. Stock rom and kernel are still present !!

If you've changed any of the system files the OTA will fail. You can have root and apply an OTA as that's not checked when doing the update but anything will have to be reverted to stock before the OTA will apply successfully

Alright, fortunately it has an option of factory reset font. I'll switch back to factory font and then I'll perform OTA, that shouldn't fail OTA. Right ??

Assuming everything else is untouched, yes it should work...
If you're going to live in the rooted world, you should learn to do things properly. OTA is the worst way of managing a rooted phone, which is why I said OTA is super-noob. If someone is reliant on OTA updates, they probably should not be rooted in the first place.

You just need to learn before jumping in. Root should not be taken lightly. If you're not willing to learn, don't root. If you are - then do. The problem is if you root then dont do things properly, you cause more work for eveyone here who has to try and help you when things go wrong, so either:
1) Learn
2) Unroot
3) Don't expect help
I recommend 1.
Should i unroot using supersu ?

Ok, which version of CM do you want to flash? KitKat? Lollipop?
You'll find CM11 (KitKat) here:
[ROM][OFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 11 Nightly Builds for SGH-I747
And you'll find CM12 (Lollipop) here:
[ROM] [5.0] CM12 D2att Alpha Builds [12/25]
Each thread has install instructions.

It keeps failing, It took the gaps but wont flash the rom. do i need to upgrade the boot loader or something? I think I read someone talking about that once. Again I am new at this so I don't really know what I'm doing wrong
Thanks again

How to root!?
Wait so to root this device all I need to do is flash the latest twrp recovery and flash SU?
Is there anything else I need to do before that?
How do inflash the recovery? Through adb?
If anyone could point me to a guide ill appreciated (for some reason I couldn't find one)

Check the original Android development thread. Only thing is, it will permanently break Samsung pay. So if you use that, do not flash twrp.
