Saw many post from new users and senior members as well and most of the time there are lot of confusion on the OTA part, especially for the rooted phone. Few says it gets (I am one of them) and few says it doesn’t as rooting capabilities modifies the system boot.img and also we have unlocked bootloader so device wont get the OTAs. I have been using the Huawei/Honor phones for 2 years now and have been getting all the OTAs on rooted phone and confirmed the same many time but still there are lot of confusion and users thinks they wont get OTA on rooted phone.
Just confirming here that you will receive OTAs on rooted phone without any issues. This is 2nd update on my phone since rooted in past 2 months.

If you are rooted but then rolled back to stock recovery, just download the OTA and update.
If you are rooted with TWRP recovery, flash the stock recovery first and then download the OTA to update. (TWRP wont be able to update OTA)

Hello!
I have AT&T (i337ucuamdl) Samsung Galaxy S4 with 4.2.2 installed. I have rooted the phone years ago and have not touched since. How do I update the phone to the latest 5.XX version? Is it possible to preserve the root? I saw the warning about MDL version that it is not supported. Anyone?
Thank you!
Look here.
Will I be able to use OTA updates with this ROM?
Thank you!

If you really still have the mdl bootloader, then you don't want to do an ota update, which will replace the exploitable mdl bootloader with a locked one.
If you have already done ota updates on the phone in the past, then you are already on a locked bootloader, and the above link would be irrelevant.
How did you get 4.2.2 onto the phone without replacing the UCUAMDL bootloader?

This is what I have now. Interesting that some applications are saying the phone is not rooted. I have done it 2 years ago. I cannot recall how I did it.
Thank you!
The application tells me I am not rooted.
I guess it is better to repeat the root procedure now.

This will root and install TWRP on MDL.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297900
This will give you stock OC3 lollipop and keep your MDL bootloader.

I have rooted the phone successfully yesterday. I got a problem during my backup with FlashFire. Apparently something happened during backup and my microSD card got locked. What ever I do now I cannot format it or write anything on it. Anyone experienced it?
Thank you!
Yeah. I had 2 go bad on me out of the blue. Thankfully, they were SanDisk, which has a lifetime guarantee.
Snapping along on stock rooted 0C4 I337, wishing for some good up to date lollipop ROM's to throw into flashfire
Installed OC3. Do you know if the OC4 is available? It fixes the security bug that I would like to use.
Thank you!

Allow the device to receive and install the latest Stagefright patch first. Then do the 6.0 OTA.
OTA in Poland is also up !!!

How do I flash this zip?
Currently on CM 12.1 SNAPSHOT.
Edit: nvm flashed stock 5.1.1 firmware(the latest), then adb sideloaded the OTA.
I got it too, 1092
Sweden as well!
Hello from me!
Please i would be grateful if someone could give me a help to install the update. I can not install OTA, my device restarts and say that there was an error during installation.
First of all, i have 5.1 original firmware (23.16.3.victara_reteu.reteuall.en.EU retfr), with stock recovery and unlocked bootloader. I was root and i deleted some pre-installed apps like Google+, Hangouts etc. And the deletion was permanent.
Then i flashed the original logo to remove the warning screen from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/warning-message-unlocked-bootloader-t2871478
Yesterday i received the notification for the OTA and of course i remooved permanent SU from it's menu, and delete all SU binary etc.
But i still no install OTA.
Could anyone give me the steps how to install the OTA from the first post here?
I read about adb sideload but i have never used this kind of flashing. I do not have TWRP installed as i said, i am in stock recovery.
Motorola Device Manager says that there is no update file for my device!!!
Please help me. Thank you very very much...
When the nougat beta was available via a downloaded .apk, I was able to update to it. Now that the version I'm on is several iterations old, attempting to update the system says 'no updates available', and the samsung members app says my device isn't registered for the beta, and won't let me do anything.
I'm using a MacBook Pro...how can I get the latest stock firmware back?

You're on the latest Nougat build for Verizon. They stopped updates after this build. Sprint and T-Mobile were the only carriers who continued to allow updates to beta testers. Now we just have to wait for Verizon to push the final Nougat build OTA.

If you want to go back to marshmallow you should be able to use smartswitch for Mac. Check for an update on it and it should say an update is available. That will take you to the newest version marshmallow build(not nougat though)
Looks like they are starting the rollout of nougat and the 5.0 shield software.

Edit: I believe this also applies to the k1 as well.
K1 also has the release notes online.
I hope we get something I can flash via TWRP real fast^^
My k1 download this right now ?

NOUGAT IN POLAND!!! DOWNLOADING RIGHT NOW, SO EXCITED!!!
I ve root..can i update normally or i have to download the zip and flash via custom recovery?
Working pretty well, seems to be a little bit faster than MM
Feels snappier now. It also supports the "fastboot oem off-mode-charge 0" command now too, so its the perfect replacement for specialized Nexus 7 installs.
So uh... if I have root, what do I do to get it to nougat rooted?
The stability/cuts with WiFi is better in this new ota?
Flash with full version ota with FlashFire it'll inject root and keep the TWRP recovery all in one shot.
Any idea for release date on LTE no-US model ? (RoW)
I didn't have the update
I tried FlashFire it got me stuck in a boot loop
Got the update notification as well! Downloading it right now!
Full for wi-fi k1 5.0

Oh OK, as screenshots were for another phone (5c maybe), i thought 5x could be different.
So only stuff needed is stock and recovery stock and check OTA ?
Other thing, can i downgrade with twrp backup or is an add-on ZIP to flash also to do like aex->b340->b370->b340->aex ?

That was for 6X.
You can restore the twrp backup to downgrade not sure if can go to MM from Nougat but Nougat 350 to Nougat 340 is possible.
Yes only thing is you need to be on stock rom, to check for uodate you can be on twrp no problem but to install, you need to switch to stock recovery.
OP updated with instructions.
:good:
