First question: Apparently after rooting I can no longer update my SM-T230NU and I would like to know if there are any updates available and if there are how can I update? Second question: I installed the android L keyboard set it as default but after updating it switches back to Samsung Keyboard, which is annoying since it corrects every thing (Typing "L" and it will change it "Learn".) And I find uncomfortable to type in. Is there a way to fix this?

Samsung doesn't allow otas if you're rooted.
No, none. Latest is NE2. If you're not on NE2 and want to update grab the NE2 tar from my firmware post in general section
And no clue

I really like this samsung keyboard with swype style and good prediction, nice multi language keyboard.
but if* you want another keyboard as default.. delete SamsungIME.apk and SamsungIME.odex
from ../system/app/
be sure you have at least one custom keyboard active before delete it

I update my rooted samsung devices through Ota all the time. However if I delete system apps from the device Ota fails. I freeze system apps with rom toolbar pro and don't have any problems with updates

Okay, just letting everyone know this. DO NOT FREEZE SAMSUNG KEYBOARD WITH RIM TOOLBOX. I did it and I could not boot again and I had to Hard Reset to boot again.

updates really aren't that big of a deal... By the time they have a good update we should have plenty of tar files to flash back to stock if you want the update. Either that or give it a few days and you can usually just odin the tar of the new release...

I got a message last night on my note that there is a firmware update available. I've got a GT-N7000 on AT&T and am running a rooted stock ROM with CWM. When I try to install the update it reboots the phone and then tells me "Failed to update firmware. Try again using PC software (Kies) or visit a Samsung service centre". The update is 101MB. I did a search and didn't see any other posts about this so thought I'd ask if anyone knows what the update is and how I can get it installed.
Thanks.
Its probably because your rooted. I was on a rooted rom and flashed the stock kka firmware my phone came with then updated without a problem. I did't try to update while being rooted though.

You could just flash a stock rooted rom of the update. The update is the Lc1 firmware.

Look for OTA rootkeeper on the market. Never tried it but some people that they could update OTA and keep their root

I have the same problem. I'm on the international Note (in UK), have rooted the phone for titanium backup and autostarts (I've deleted some bloatware and frozen others), but haven't played around with custom roms or flashing because I don't really know about that sort of stuff. Also, the firmware update here is 73.5 mb.
Tried ota app, but that doesn't really make a difference and it's only intended to keep root if an already successful ota update has unrooted the phone. Our problem is the the update isn't completing successfully.
I'm worried that the upcoming ICS update won't work either.
Any solutions would be massively appreciated, especially if they don't involve flashing or doing a factory reset.
Thanks

If you've played around with /system, you won't be able to OTA for the most part, as these updates are patches and expect to find an untouched /system partition.

I tried OTA Rootkeeper but no luck. Is there a way to back up my apps and settings such that I could easily restore them after flashing a stock ROM that includes the update?

Hello, I have a rooted and unlocked note 2 running Stock ROM and custom recovery and I flash some stuff into the ROM. In the setting, when I want to check for some "official" updates from. Samsung, it says that I can not have anymore official update since my phone is modified. By the way, my old Motorola Atrix with locked bootloader can still get official update from Motorola even that it is rooted (but it always says that the software is up to date).Is there a way that I can be benefited by the official updates? I know that unlocking my phone does increase the binary count that Samsung can check this to know that I have a modified phone. And also I know an app called Triangle app that can fix the problem of binary count. So can I use this to make my phone "non-modified" so I can still get official update from Samsung? Or I need to get away from stock ROM and go for modified one to get further updates?

Just flash the newest firmware using Odin as PDA. If you have a modified kernel or recovery your OTA updates won't work.
Go for N7100XXDLL4_N7100OXADLL4_N7100XXDLK7_HOME.tar.md5

N7100XXDLL4_N7100OXADLL4_N7100XXDLK7_HOME.tar.md5 is the ONLY file I need to flash right?
Forget it.
I am in India and I tried this.
Even 5 hours after firmware was available at sammobile, it said I already have the latest version.
Use kies.
When it puts phone in download mode.
Goto to temp folder in appdata local
And find a 1.45gb folder.
It contains the downloaded firmware for later use.

CF-Autoroot works on N5120, so i guess it should work fine on N5100 also.
And if you are already on a rooted 4.1.2, just install Mobile Odin and flash new firmware with Everroot checked

Thanks. And i have another question, why is Mobile odin sure for root 4.2.2 N5100?
Anyone who already flashed it? does it fix the screen freeze issue?? and another question, If i flash it manually via odin, will it retain my installed apps?
Someone writes that what's inside CSC codes, please.
I know it's DBT (default), but there's more?
THX!
Flashed with mobile odin pro with everroot - failed, Got into bootloop on cwm with message "Failed to root". Finally , Restored backup . Back with 4.12.

I would like to ask the same thing, especially the screen freeze issue.
Flashed new ROM.
Am I only one who faces this issues?:
1. S Note became laggy when opening/closing note
2. S-pen pointer is shifted 1-2 mm down from true position (maybe if there is any calibration software?)
I can't download from hotfile, please mirror it

Just did something foolish, but after taking few precautions, did it anyways. I flashed system and kernel from this to n5110 with mobile Odin pro. Did not dare flashing cache (csc) and rest as mobile Odin needs stock recovery to flash cache and really wanted to keep custom for obvious reasons.
It booted and working fine except for chaton and messaging app crashing, which I disabled at root.
Plus side is that in conjunction with Google voice app and magic jack I can use phone dialler to make phonecalls now. On WiFi only off course.
***"""Still testing so strongly urge people not to try this unless they know what they're doing. "" "***
This will not work with n5120 system and kernel combination firmware. It does not boot. Although system by itself can be flashed successfully over earlier n5110 leak, but 5ghz WiFi bug from that leak remains.
If you don't clean your internal card properly before hand, the old files remain trapped and you only have access to new directory tree, so either move files to external beforehand or do a reset to free used space (did not reset myself and will try not to).

I see this mentioned once in a while but have never seen a screen freeze on any version firmware of my note 8.0.
Perhaps its a cpu thing. I usually install setcpu first thing on any rom after rooting.

Might be an answered question. Was just wondering if there's anyway to disable the autoupdate. I like my S4 the way it is right now and don't want any chance that it might autoupdate to android 4.3 which can mess up rooting etc even though i have rootkeeper. At least til issues with new android ver are all clear. So anyway to disable this auto os update? thnx..
Your rooted that's enough to disable I believe cus it wont update if modified. .I might be wrong

Rooted my nexus 10 and that didn't prevent it from dnlding the update. At least it has the decency not to go ahead w installing the downloaded update. Now I hv this constant notification on the status bar to install it. Don't want this to happen also to S4
4.3 is at least 1-2 months away so I doubt you need to do this. And got a blunt is mostly right. Being rooted will not allow the installation to happen. It will download the update and tell you have a system update but it won't install on its own.

So any danger of me inadvertently clicking on the update notification and update happens and wiping out my settings? or rooting won't let it updated at all and to update you have to go back to stock first?

The only way of being able to update its just having a rooted phone with no mods in someway and also having stock recovery, if you are rooted with a custom rom or mods and have a different recovery then yes if you click the update accidently then you wont have no problem what so ever its just going to abort.

On my rooted S4 (CF-auto-root), I also have TWRP recovery installed. So this would qualify then as a different recovery? Additionally i also got MF9HotspotMod-Odexed and international SIM unlock on there. So i am guessing all this should be enough to prevent any update?
OTAs won't flash in custom recoveries. If you for some reason hit install update it would boot into recovery and try to install but fail.

Well I am on the horrible MF3 that requires the safestrap recovery to flash any compatible file. So I am not on a custom ROM I am only rooted.
I recently saw the notification that the new 4.3 update is ready to download .
My question is if I update will it still update and just take the root away? Or will I have to unroot and then upgrade?

I am still waiting on an answer for this also. I do know that it has been confirmed working to retain root when upgrading to 4.3 using "survival mode" in SuperSU. I purchased SuperSU Pro and enabled "survival mode". Then I defrosted the AT&T software updater (had it frozen previously to avoid the update) and Let the update to 4.3 download. I tried this twice and both times the 4.3 update failed to install at 25%. Maybe because I had previously uninstalled some of the AT&T BS apps. So I think I wasted $2.50 for SuperSU Pro. I have searched the forum and there are many people talking about having upgraded and retained root via this method, but nobody seems to want to clarify the steps of the process.
Some I am guessing maybe if you haven't removed any of the bloatware from your phone, you can use survival mode in SuperSU to retain root and take the 4.3 OTA update as normal. If you try it, let me know your mileage.
If I had any idea about MF3 and the locked bootloader I never would have gotten this phone. I hated iOS 7 and decided to come over to Android thinking modification would be much easier on the platform. With carriers locking bootloaders now, it's actually WORSE than having to wait for a jailbreak for an iOS version.

Take a chill pill bro. This phone is still better than an iPhone. There is a safe root method now so no need to use survival mode just have to find a way to get to 4.3 which is all over the discussion boards.
