Sorry, have been busy at work.
CWM 6.0.2.3
Only modification besides running the SU app is I just recently installed the .33 modem with the sound fix for 4g. Stock kernel.

I'm in the same boat. I'm running stock 4.2.2. ROM. Rooted, CWM 6.0.3.5, and I installed the AIO LTE .zip (I can't remember if I'm currently on the .33 or .27 radio). I received the 4.3 update OTA and just tried to install. I put me in CWM and asked me if I want to "install unkown zip" . I assumed that was the OTA update and selected yes. It seemed to do the install and reboot. However, I'm still on 4.2.2. Stranger still, when check for updates, it says I'm current.

The OTA won't install with a non-stock radio (I think) & the AIO flashable makes changes to the build.prop which will also prevent the OTA from installing.

Bingo! The AIO enabler does in fact make changes to your build prop which will cause the update to fail every time. Here's what I did. Flashed the stock 4.2.2 boot and system imgs via fastboot.(used the toolkit ) after which I manually flashed the stock radio (.48) and stock kernel. It worked after that. Gimmie a few and I'll link the files needed.

ok here they are. of course before you do anything make a nandroid backup just incase.
stock kernel, and image are here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145848
you want to download the stock 4.2.2 image and extract the boot and system imgs to be flashed via fastboot.
also since my initial ota failed and I didnt want to wait for my phone to get it again I just downloaded the stock 4.3 image.
its the first link "4.3-JWR66V-from-4.2.2 JDQ39"
stock radio is here. you want .48 and you just flash in cwm

almost forgot. after you flash the 4.3 upgrade you also need to flash the latest superuser in cwm. after that once you reboot cwm will ask if you want to disable recovery flash. select yes

That way he'd lose root, right? or they have not using install-recovery.sh to root anymore?

Just re root again after

Tested on stock XXLPB, everything working as expected
Thanks !
worked perfectly on LPH. I reset my counter with Jig, updated to LPH(the bootloader too) and used this to use CWM and root. I ended up restoring my CM9 backup and now I'm on the new bootloader(feels faster, may be just me) with no triangle. Thanks!
Do you loose the ability to install apps to sd card like when you use CF-Root kernels or is it a safe method?
Thanks

You may have the Holy Grail here - a rooting method that doesn't need USB/PC connection.
As far as I know, there is nothing else that can do this.
Market it as such, and you're on a winner.
Any reason why someone without said connection abilities couldn't root with this ROM and then change accordingly?
Still many who don't want ICS, but I'd be interested to hear if anyone's rooted via this method and then successfully changed to GB.
Sounds good thanks for sharing..
the cwm screen blink and reset, they is a problem.
I need to use internal sd or external sd ?
This will trigger the yellow triangle?

Its not a kernel, so this will not give you yellow triangle.
Will work on 2.3.6 ?
I'm on official XWLA4.
If it does first i install the CWM.zip and then the SU-Installer-signed.zip ?
It still says "signature verification failed"
Any luck boys?

My bad! Works fine...
For those who are still stuck, please flash the CWM first and then flash the SU Signed zip file...
This works on ICS as well...
Thanks mate, you ROCK!
Didnt work for me.

you MUST reflash a kind of stock/not gps moddified version :/
Getting this same issue on wifes Nexus 4. Its stock with the 4.3 JB OTA no mods or root since that OTA. Can't understand why GPS.conf could be changed.
If I root and TWRP could a factory image update.zip with the -w wipe removed work to get her to KitKat without wiping and redoing her phone? I am used to flashing custom roms this stock ota stuff is giving me a headache.

You do not use custom rom or custom recovery to flash factory image. Use the links in my signature for instructions.

I understand that, she is stock ROM, with stock recovery and not rooted when she is having this issue. No root TWRP or custom rom involved. Since it wasn't working with stock recovery was looking for options without wiping device during factory image flash to fix GPS.conf file thats buggered.
She got the OTA normal way on her phone this afternoon, but it failed. Will check out your sig links when I get home and see if I can solve this without spending all night setting her phone back up from a factory image wipe :/ Thx for feedback and any pointers

The flashing will required an unlocked bootloader, so if its not unlocked you will lose all data when unlocking it. (Doing a factory reset in stock recovery also wipe everything.)
I don't really know what else you can do, if there were never any modifications, then the problem is due to Google having too much protections and issues for their OTA packages.
Unlocked so can do the method in your guide. But she says she wants to clean up her phone so a clean start will probably perform better and she gets the clean slate she wants, problem solved Though OTA checks annoy me now lol
thx for the feedback and guides

[OTA] Stock XNPH25R OTA

Here's the new update that came out today - XNPH25R. This has the assert junk removed so you can flash it in TWRP.
NOTHING has been changed in this other than the ability to flash it in TWRP.
Reboot to recovery, flash .zip. Reboot to system. Nothing fancy required. *Flash SuperSU if you want root access.
https://www.4shared.com/download/4UoLVwKIce/cm-bacon-XNPH25R_fix.zip?lgfp=3000
I'm getting binary update script error by flashing with TWRP
I flashed the stock OTA in TWRP right from my phone. Go to Developer settings adn uncheck the update CM recovery setting and OTA will flash in TWRP. I kept root. I'm not sure if the 4.4 update will kill root, but I doubt it. Thanks for providing the zip!
With the option to update CM recovery via OTAs does that mean we can take OTAs with TWRP installed?
Hey Guys Can I flash this zip file through CWM ???? Please suggest...........
Update = flashed the official cm-11.0-XNPH22R-bacon-signed file & then received the OTA & it's installed successfully even with CWM install.

I think you have to disable that option in developer settings menu, if you want to be able to flash the OTA with TWRP.
Works for me
Updated it using TWRP but once booted it tells me there's an udpate, over and over... update in TWRP seems to work (no fails, only message is "radio image updated")
I flashed the file and when I reboot i´m still on XNPH22R and it also does prompt for the update. I flashed it on twrp, everything seemed ok
Flashed the file with both TWRP and Philz, no error but the Rom version is still 22R !
Can someone post the stock recovery img please?

The downloaded OTA is located in \cache and can be flashed trough TWPR. Unfortunately I get an error of missing apks in \system due to deleting some of them (CM File Manager, PrintSpooler, ...).
I'll try to throw them back to \system and retry flashing.
Nope nope nope, doesn't work. He says blabla build.prop because of changed DPI, but it gave me an error on executing the update binary anyway.

I've got it. Do you need? Texdroider DPI makes an backup of the original build.prop. I restored it and the issue is solved but nevertheless the update binary can't be executed.
Flashed CWM over TWRP: with CWM same problem. I restored original build.prop and it's still complaining about in the build prop.
Okay, seems that my backup of build.prop isn't the stock build.prop but an updated version with DPI of 380, damn. Can anyone upload the original one?
Can you upload the original build.prop please? Are you sure that the old file has the correct cm revision?

Typically these updates do remove root. Best to wait until someone has a root method figured out for the new update.

I just updated via the OTA method on AT&T. Rebooted twice. I still have root (verified by Root Checker). Here's my About page:
Here's the root checker pic:
I now have OC2. Update OTA with confidence!
I originally rooted OC1 (Lollipop) by following the Root/OC1 method.
EDIT: I just checked for stagefright vulnerability (via Stagefright detector). It reports that my device is NOT VULNERABLE. Nice.
I took the chance because this site has helped me in sooo many ways. It's the least I could do. Thanks everyone.

Update failed for me at 25% too. I'm rooted OC1.
Does this update do more than just fix the stagefright exploit?
If not, then kmokhtar already posted a flashable update fix for stagefright which works great.
Could you post a link to that? I have been unable to find it via xda search, google search, browsing in note 3 forums...
Why is this 'update' 5.0? I could have sworn it was just up to 5.1.1

Those like me who have installed modded apps like S6 and have mixed in deodexed files, the OTA will fail. the OTA installer MD5 checks the system files and if any fail it will abort the Update. Any deodexed system files will also abort the Update
How to updated to OC2 if your OTA failed
1. Download and unzip and copy this Folder to OC1 stock root backup to your TWRP backup folder,
\TWRP\BACKUPS\0b70b440\N900A_OC1_Lollipop_Stock_Rooted_Backup
2. Copy OC1 kernel recovery installer to your sdcard SM-N900A_N900AUCUEOC1_KERNEL_Recovery-Flashable.zip
*** You can also go ahead and copy Safestrap-HLTEATT-NC2-3.75-B03[1].apk and NC2 Flasher to your sdcard ***
3 Download the OC2 OTA 2400258.cfg
rename the 2400258.cfg OC2 to 2400258.zip and copy to your sdcard
4 Install the OC1 backup,
N900A_OC1_Lollipop_Stock_Rooted_Backup.zip
5. Install OC1 Kernel
SM-N900A_N900AUCUEOC1_KERNEL_Recovery-Flashable.zip
6. (I did a factory wipe , but Warning you will loose UserData settings and Apps you installed) You might try without but if you had a custom SystemUI and Touchwiz as I did it might FC because you have setting in Userdata pertaining to the Custom apps that you will over write with the OC1 backup.
7. Select Reboot and then select Recovery to boot to stock recovery and install as a update from external storage. mine installed with no issues.
8. To get safe strap back working Download and copy Safestrap-HLTEATT-NC2-3.75-B03[1].apk to sdcard (if you have not done yet)
9. Download and copy NC2 Flasher by benwaffle
10. Install Safestrap-HLTEATT-NC2-3.75-B03, run app and install recovery ( do not press reboot to recovery, it will only take you to stock recovery)
11. Install NC2 Flasher app and then use it to boot to recovery.
12. Do a backup of your new OC2
Now you can customized and do what you want

If you can flash rom, Gapps or any other things expect kernel, then your twrp works fine and you flash the wrong kernel for that one(you flashed the another model)
And maybe it's bc of your twrp that can't flash kernel and need the special one that the kernel dev should be mentioned
Would you please share the link or give me more details?

yes, I can flash everything else except kernels.
the issue is all TW 6.0.1 kernels here have their links removed so I just have them from re-uploaders outside of xda forums, here is a kernel of a total of 3 kernels that don't even flash no matter what recovery I'm using

and thanks for the reply
update: the recovery doesn't freeze in the middle of the procedure. it freezes at the very beginning like "checking digest files" and things like that

How do you install kernel?
Would you explain
It's img file or zip file

That's the problem. Unpack the zip and there should be a boot.img inside. No wonder it wasn't working.

already tried that, but have you looked at the file? it has patches for wifi and things like that, when I extracted the zip file and flashed only the boot.img the rom worked but without wifi and with a lot of bugs.

I have flashed stock MM rom , now whenever i try to flash any kernel twrp freezes and phone restarts to recovery, I've used this armoa supported TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/development/3-customs-recoverys-galaxy-j5-2015-t3560266
latest official TWRP and also latest Orangefox, all had the same issue, what should I do?

Try using an earlier TWRP, the 3.3 version has trouble flashing some zips
Problem resolved after reflashing the stock and debloating it, not sure which one did the trick but anyways it worked!
