Of course.
What can i do to make the update with cwm recovery ?
Thank you.
i got the same problem , cant upgrade the cwm gets it back and upgrade fales all the time.
I had the same problem updating to 2.3.6. OTA update downloads, but crashed during the install. Fixed it by downloading a stock (updated) rom & flashing with CWM.
U can find the stock roms here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Just make sure u read the instructions thoroughly.
OTA updates are usually patch files, which expect to find a completely unadulterated /system partition -if you've rooted, this won't be the case so the OTA will fail.
If you are rooted with CWM, you are *always* better off waiting for someone to repackage updates/ROM in CWM format.

Dave
Don't do it! I had the same issue as OP updating OTA but was able to do it via Kies. I wish I didn't! My update broke root access (went from KK1 to LA2) and now I'll have to downgrade via Odin to get my root back

I'm not sure, but I think if you have the stock ROM and kernel you would still be able to receive OTA updates. However installing them might unroot your phone.

Flash a stock firmware back to ur phone using Odin
Reset the device from settings / accounts / backup & Reset ur device should be official and u should be able to get OTA
for firmware link check my signature
Note: do not use triangle away for ur variant its not supported
Can I do this simply by using Triangle Away with i9505?

hi. i rooted my phone and managed to download the MEA to MG9 OTA update, so i might help. download the cofface recovery from http://link.and-share.ir/uploads/cofface-S4-recovery-en-V3-0-zip.zip and flash with odin. then boot into recovery (turn off the phone then hold volume up and home and power) then select unroot from recovery. then turn off your phone and flash the official status mod http://d-h.st/1lt. then reboot and install the OTA. after updating you can root again just like i did,
have you tried the "full unroot" option in chainfires superSU?
easier than flashing a new recovery...
Hello, I´m on stock rooted NAE. Two days ago I received the NG2 update via OTA. I thought this was weird because you´re not supposed to get updates via OTA if you are rooted. Anyway, today I tried to install the update and I got an error during the installation. My phone got restarted and I´m apparently still rooted.
So I have a couple questions...
1) Why did I get the OTA update if I´m rooted?
2) How do you install the NG2 update on a rooted device? I guess you have to run the NG2 tar file via ODIN and then, use the Chainfire root method. Am I right?
3) Does anyone have the mod camera app? I would love to have it.
4) How do I get free hotspot functionality on the NG2 rooted device?
Thank you so much! Any help will be appreciated.

1. If your stock you will always get a firmware update. Unless on another custom rom ex. Aosp.
2. You are correct sir.

I was also NAE rooted and got the OTA NG2 update... I think even rooted devices can downloaded the OTA update... BUT... The rooted or custom ROM or recovery couldn't install this update.
So the update can be downloaded but not installed.
So I pulled the OTA update and returned to the stock status and installed the update normally.

Phone needs to be completely stock before you can run the update. The new plans offer HOTSPOT for free. This will be included in your monthly plan at no extra cost.
A week ago, my OTA update failed. Have Towelroot and supersu. No other modifications. Failure message said I should use Kies since my phone is modified in an unauthorized way. In order to update and either retain Towelroot through it, OR unroot through supersu, update either OTA or with Kies and then reroot with Towelroot, would the following work:
I have a SM-G900F.
1) I unroot with supersu. I remove Titanium and supersu.
2) I try to update with either an OTA approach or Kies.
3) If update is successful, I reroot with Towelroot and reinstall supersu and Titanium.
Would this work? Would removing root with supersu make me be able to do an OTA update or is Kies inevitable? And after a possible successful update, will Towelrooting still work, or does the most recent Android update (I currently am still 4.2.2) render Towelroot unusable after updating.
Any help much appreciated.

Dude forget about OTA`s when you are rooted, install Mobile Odin Pro and just flash the new rom with MOP and you`ll keep root. Don`t use a wipe or it will fail.

Sorry, but that's just waay too advanced for me. I don't know what flashing a rom means, I just want the most recent update that came out (at least for Europe) a week ago and be able to have root, that's it. Does unrooting, updating to new version with Kies, then rerooting with Towelroot work? Please can somebody just tell me if that can do it or how to do it? I know I'm a noob, sorry, just need real advice.
please.....somebody put me out of my misery. help?

Just download the stock firmware and flash with Kies or Odin. It's not too complex.
To obtain the latest firmware for your device, open Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > 'Firmware Browser' menu.
my samsung galaxy s5 , is rooted but I would like to upgrade, I can't do the OTA upgrade so I should proceed with Kies , I would like to know whether I have to unroot my phone(how do I do that? via kies?)or just directly proceed with the upgrade,furthermore, my phone was a sumsung galaxy s5 tmobile but I managed to unlock it in order to use it with other carriers, if I install the original firmware and then upgrade to the newest version, can I still use it with other carriers or will return locked? thank you
Just a quick question, if I root my Note 4, what exactly happens when an OTA update comes around?
If I keep the stock recovery, and just root with CF, is it still possible to install the updates, and then reroot?
Thanks!

Yes you can still have OTA updates even after root, but you have to either flash a stock ROM via odin from sammobile for your exact specific model (must match product code and CSC) OR connect to Kies and update from it, if there's no update available in Kies you can use the "firmware upgrade and initialization option", both options will get your "official" status back and you will get OTA updates again. After you install all the updates you can then re-root it.

Okay, so the answer is no to actually applying OTA updates while rooted? From what you're saying I'll have to revert to stock, install the update, and then re-root. Not the end of the world I guess.

Yep you have to revert to stock like I did when I updated to the 17 Nov update. Kies updates work while you're rooted tho but they also remove root and you have to reroot afterwards. OTA updates will never work for any rooted samsung mobile.
Hi, do you lose your data by flashing the update via Odin or via Kies?
I mean, I'm rooted with all my apps, configurations and data, I can't get the OTA update since I'm rooted, if I update the software via Kies or Odin will I have all my data, configuration etc like the OTA update or have I to reinstall all the apps and reconfigure all?
Thanks!

Same question here. I'm no longer rooted (unrooted via the su app) but I still can't get OTA updates. Can I update using Kies while keeping my data? Will I then be able to use OTA in future?
You'll receive ota updates but you cannot install through phone once knox is triggered even if you flash stock rom.I haven't tried through kies though

Full unroot back to stock... install updates.... root again
and titanium is your friend
[NOTE: For this please flash stock recovery and continue with the following steps]
I'm having Samsung c9 pro (rooted) and nougat update was released for my device. I used xposed module FireFdsKit (mentioned below) to get update. To receive updates, open the module, go to security hacks and check the fake system status to official and go to system settings and check for software updates and it'll show updates (if any) and doing this helped me to get the official OTA update for Nougat . Download the update file (but don't install through
system update manager). After downloading the update, open flashfire app and it'll detect the OTA update press ok and flash the update with flashfire app (as flashing through this app you can have the root even after the update) and my mobile is updated and working fine now (on the latest update and still rooted ) you can use wanam module for KitKat, Lollipop Devices
Wanam (For 4.0+) : http://repo.xposed.info/module/ma.wanam.xposed
FireFdsKit (MM) : http://repo.xposed.info/module/sb.firefds.firefdskit

What you can do is flash a stock rom using odin then it will be stock and u will receive ota updates ✌

I doubt this will work mainly because rooting trips KNOX which is an e-fuse so that means that if tripped there's no going back to Official status . You can always install the latest firmwares with ODIN though.
