adb push ota update zip

I am running completely stock 2.21.401.10 and have downloaded OTA_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.31.401.5-2.21.401.10_release_275774cltf0sxl730g7fp1 from elsewhere in this forum.
Would it be possible to install this with adb push commands as I cannot find any other way to install this update.
If yes, what is the exact command that I need to execute.
My device concurs with the info.txt within the zip.

Where exactly did you download this ?

Rooting?

Hello I've just bought a note 10.1 and wondering how to root it and if I will lose any functions as I saw something about that somewhere? All I want the rooting for is to access system files (I want my saved game data from my phone on my tablet haha ) and I just like the fact I have the option to do anything on it but I'm not looking to change the rom or anything as I'm very happy with it at the moment and since its new it will hey official updates of the latest software so could someone offer any advice and a guide please? Thanks

Rooting is pretty easy because of the exploit and with this method you will not increase your binary count so no issues and you will not lose any functions.
Just install this app on your not
Run the app and click on Root device and you are done
No worries no hassels
The credit goes to the developer of the app !!

Wow that's got to be the most simple way ofbrooting a device ever thanks a lot!

Hi,
I have bought just today one Galaxy Note 10.1 16GB, then I have upgraded it to JB 4.1.1 and now rooted it with simply two click, WoW! Formidable!
Now, I check for alternate kernels similar to Syiah, Speeedmod ...just for curiosity for now.
Thank you for the quick link and thanks to Chainfire!

Be careful when flashing a new kernel on the new stock roms make sure they are compatible

Anyone know the answer to this? While this seems like a gloriously easy method to achieve root it would be cool to still receive OTA updates. On the other hand, I already got the JB update so maybe I shouldn't expect any more OTAs anyway?

You will still receive ota. And jb won't be the last upgrade for this tablet haha we will get 5.0. Samsung is getting really good at updates.

It doesn't have one if you use the exploit. The easiest why to add a recover is using team win recovery. You can install it via app on the play store. The app is called goo manager. That's what i use and I personally like it better than clock work mod.

Rooting Verizon S3 with 4.1.1 update on Linux

I've been trying to root my phone for a while I've been looking around the net for a while now and can't seem to find any good guides to rooting a Verizon 4.1.1 update GS3 using Linux. The only guide I found used the international version of the phone. I run ubuntu 12.04
Does anyone here know of any good guides for this?

Casual doesn't work on 4.1+.
