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

KNOX is all about KNOX app, and is not related to OTA / Firmware stuffs.

[Q] CF Auto Root query

I'm pretty confused about the way CF auto root works. some say it breaks OTAs some say it doesn't affect the recovery so it won't break OTAs. can anyone here please explain me if I'll still get OTAs after rooting my all stock 5.0 Nexus 5 by Chainfire's Auto Root method? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No you won't get OTA.
In 4.4, if you had root and stock recovery, you could still get OTA. In 5.0, root makes changes that prevent OTA. on 5.0, ANY changes prevent OTA

oh god no this is bad for me
I really wanted to use this WiFi kill app on my Nexus and now I have to wait for 5.0.1 and then root

Don't worry about it, WiFI kill doesn't work on 5.0 anyway

I'm planning on rooting my 5.0
What if when 5.0.1 rolls out, and I want to update OTA?
How do I unroot my N5 rooted via Chainfire's method?

Hi! I rooted using CF Autoroot. I downloaded the 5.0.1 OTA
I unrooted as you said
But the installation of the downloaded OTA update shows error and I'm stuck on 5.0
Solutions?
I don't wanna perform a full wipe !

You need to be full, 100% stock.

I too was rooted with CF and stock recovery.
To be able to sideload the OTA I had to:
1) download and extract the 5.0 factory image
2) fastboot flash boot boot.img
3) fastboot flash system system.img
4) adb sideload The5_0_1OTA.zip
The CF root process modifies one or both of boot and/or system. The 5.0.1 OTA will not apply with these modified.
The above process will not lose data.

By downloading the 5.0.1 factory image in step 1, you could have skipped step 4 :/

Read what the error is telling you. It expects x and you have y.

my phone running 6.0.1 not 5.0.2, anyway what is the solution ?

Ota updates can only be installed on an unrooted system with stock recovery unless the ota update has been compiled for flashi via twrp.

It is asking for google and you have omni.

so, is there a way to install this ota update manually, without unroot the phone and wipe twrp recovery ?

Why would you install a Google OTA when you are obviously running a custom ROM?
Wait for the developer of that to update, or revert back to stock.

Phone rooted - How about the monthly security patches ?

I was wondering, I have rooted my phone using Chainfire's CF-Autoroot.
Normally this will disable OTA updates, I'm aware of that.
But is there some way to manually flash the monthly security updates that Samsung releases each month ?
(or at least they say they are going to release them each month).
Is there a source somewhere where we can download them and flash then using Odin or TWRP ?

No you didnt root. There isnt full root for s7 yet

Are you sure ? Because when I check manually for updates, I get the message stating that my phone has changed (root) and so updates cannot be downloaded and installed. It says that I need to try to download it via a PC tool from Samsung.

There is for the International version.

There very well is for the Exynos version/type and the reason I'm tempted to get it after prices have dropped a bit :
Check it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/recovery-official-twrp-herolte-t3333770

Ok guys, now that we have established that root is available and working for the European version (which I have)...
Anyone know if the monthly patches from Samsung/Google will be available for download somewhere, so we can flash it manually and still be up-to-date ?

I would like to know this as well. I would guess they could be flashed with Odin?

I would like to know this. I am on the W8 variant rooted with autoroot and wondering how will I go about updating to new patches.

I love Android.

you should flash your firmware via Odin to unroot, apply OTA, root again with auto root.

Yes, I am aware of this possibility.
I was just hoping in applying the monthly patch without full flash (which completely wipes the phone).

Indeed, flashing will reset the phone...I found that the hard way last night.
There is a topic on S7edge forum about Chainfire's FlashFire app. It claims that can flash without resetting the phone.
Did not try it but I will follow the discussions there. Would be perfect to flash a new f/w and not have the phone reset. ( like good old times

Maybe it is possible to prevent the userdata and internal storage to be wiped by flashing the official firmware ?
Anyone has succeeded to do so ?

I managed to download the complete new firmware G935FXXU1APD3 from Sammobile and flashed it with ODIN with the phone in download mode.
It did not overwrite any of my personal data or apps and the phone worked as before however you will need to root again afterwards, but that doesn't take long anyway.
The only other thing I had to do was copy the mixer_paths and mixer_gain files to the SD card then replace them as the new firmware overrides the volume hack if you have it in place.

I guess that's what Chainfire trying to achieve with Flashfire. To be able to directly flash the Updates without having to manually backup/restore anything. Let's see how this goes. As of today you could flash the full oding images within flashfire.
Will definitely try when the next update for my phone variant comes.

I did take a TWRP backup just in case but was pleasantly surprised when the phone booted back to where it was.

I can confirm that the Flashfire method can be used for updates. Grab the update package, flash it through flashfire, and even select the "ever root" option to maintain root. Works great!

How did you get the update package? When trying to search for an update on the phone it says I modified it.
Or did you load an full stock rom?

Grabbed a full stock rom, extracted the modem and system packages, and flashed them specifically through flashfire. A link to the full stock rom was posted on the Canadian S7 thread in the discussion forum.
