Yes you will but you can easy re-root.

You have to be stock rooted with no mods and stock recovery to get it.

Easy way to do it is to wait for the notification to show up again. Go into the notification pane (drag down from the top of the screen), long press on the notification itself, go to App Info and then uncheck the Notification box in there.

Just a small clarification. You don't have to be rooted. That may work too, but I've always done the updates with an un-rooted stock ROM and recovery.

Yes I know that you can unroot and still update that way but people tend to take updates when they are rooted with mods for some reason and then come ask ehy cant I take update. so yeah I said that just to safe the process of odining back to stock.

People on the Vz S4 thread are reporting success rooting 5.0 using KingRoot, however keep in mind that if successful there is no way to recover an I337 running 5.0 if something goes wrong other than taking it to BestBuy or an ATT store. Vz makes the full Odin .tars available and ATT does not.

Did you try following the instructions in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=59970133? Remember, since you're already on 5.0.1, you'll have to down grade to NB1 using Odin and then root and update back to 5.0.1. The post details all of these instructions. Good luck.

I have the same phone with the same problem. I flashed mine with odin back to 4.4.2 then I rooted it with towelroot. I had to install safestrap to unlock with regionlock away. Worked like a charm, now my phone is rooted and unlocked. There is also another post on here somewhere to help keep root and upgrade to 5.0.1. I hope this helped.

By using the Kingroot 4.1 app. Easy 1 click root then go to the Playstore and download the Super sume app to replace Kinguser, which is in Chinese, with Super Su which is another easy 1 click process. Then reboot

Indeed, available in many regions too. Will install later today but hopefully it is 6.0.1

I updated via "Sony Bridge For Mac" an hour ago. It´s not 6.0.1... it´s just improvements and small fixes. There was a notice just before I updated but I was too fast clicking past it...
//M

Hate to re post but can you install if it showed up/downloaded ota but you are stock rooted?

Are you asking me?
I'm stock and unrooted. I wouldn't install it if I were rooted...I would be to scared to mess everything up
Skickat från min E6553 via Tapatalk

I'm systemless rooted but xposed edits your system partition so no o can't lol. I just got a shock that the z3+ has seen 2 updates within a month lol

Anyone knows ftf file available yet for this 185 update? I hope we can still use the same ivy_MM_Rootable kernel.

The dev its working on New kernel but somebody tell that atual its compatible with New rom.
Systemless rooted??? How you did this?

I flashed this amazing kernel them TWRP recovery. Installed the latest SU beta. I didn't know I was systemless rooted. Difference is it doesn't touch the system partition. Meaning you can run apps that you could not if you was rooted banking, sky etc.

Yes, you can root the 32.1.A.1.185 using ivy_MM_Rootable kernel and then flashing TWRP 3.0.0 by Mortext followed by SuperSU. I followed this for mine and its up and running.

I got everything working but TWRP. I was able to flash supersu with the bootable TWRP. Nobody else with problems?

To root,
1. first you need to use Rootable kernel by @moonbutt74 from the link below by "fastboot boot" through flashtool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z4/development/rootable-kernel-sxz3-ivy-marshsmellow-t3336607
2. Secondly, you need to flash @mortext TWRP recovery by fastboot flashing it using "cmd command prompt" by following instructions from the link below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z4/development/twrp-xperia-z3-fota-recovery-t3346298
3. In TWRP flash Chainfire's SuperSU to get root which you need to copy to your SD before hand; link available on Moonbutt74 page.
Viola you're done!!!

Xposed framework on Samsung galaxy note 3

This is my first post here on XDA, I've been a ghost for quite some time reading through numerous threads. Such a wealth of knowledge her . Hopefully as time progresses, I'll be able to help others!
This all began with Pokemon go.
I recently rooted my Samsung galaxy note 3 using Arabic by Ali. It was the only root tool that I could get to work. Now that I'm rooted I've embarked on the mission of getting Xposed framework setup on my device. I've searched for numerous hours both here on XDA and Google and have yet to find the info I'm needing, I'm new to the android rooting, and modifications (I taught myself all the iPhone jail breaking and mods but I'm stumped on the android is, for now.)
I'm not sure what ROM was used, if any honestly. When I boot my phone it does say custom with the unlocked lock. I've attached a screenshot of my about phone and ROM manager.
Wheres my beat starting point to getting Xposed to operate on my device, and be stable? I've read that there are a few work arounds to avoid boot loops and force closures, but I can't find a decent written guide into this. Or even what files I need. Trying to avoid any bricks, and want to fully know what to do before embarking on this task.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Both applied for note 3, depending on firmware you're using.
If 5.0, first one. But beware deodexed only. So stock rooted firmware won't work.
If 5.1.1 or 6.0.1, second one.

I am on 5.0.
I've been reading into how to deodex my stock ROM, but I've read a few different guides that are different. Is there a reliable way to safely deodex my current?

All credit goes to them and dont forget to press their thanks button.
Make sure you are rooted, download the neccessary file then flash it using flashfire. Simple as that.

OK, so I'm not sure what's going on or if I'm doing this properly. What steps do I need to do withing flash fire?
I set wipe to clear cache and dwlvik, than flash a zip or ota and selected the zip file. Click the flash button the phone powers down, and I cannot get it to power back up unless I remove the battery. I'm not entirely sure if I messed up or if its flash fire that messed up.
Sorry for all the questions. Android rooting and all are completely new to me.
Android system modding is a lot different from iOS ?
Got it to work finally! Thank you both for the links and help! Glad to finally have Xposed working as it should!
