Last time I updated via KIES I did´nt do anything else as plug the phone in and update via KIES. BUT afther the update I lost my root, but no problem to root it again.
Thankyou mlhdk for helping
I already figured it out what todo as following:
I rooted my device again with newer version of CF-Root v6.3 as it supports Stock Firmware Updating (OTA) and rooted once more after successfully updating my device stock firmware.

Quick question, do you need to reinstall all the apps (root only apps) again after updating & reroot?
Maybe you cam help with this issue:
Phone was rooted and I downloaded the firmware via OTA (I didn't know!). I re-rooted it with CF-Root 6.3, which went fine.
Now If I check for software update it says "no update available." The build though is still the old I9300XXALE8 instead of ALF6.
Is the updated firmware file saved somewhere, and if yes can I install it via CWM?
What else can I do?
Thanks

Hi guys,
Someone can tell how to unroot from motofail root in 2.3.6 stock rom??
I'd like to update to ICS via OTA when moto begin roll out, and i'm not sure this will be possible with root.
Do you know something??
Tnx
You'll need to provide more information before any one will be able to help. You may also want to check to see if there's a dedicated forum for your device.

Thanks for the tips...
I have a GSM Motorola Razr with 4.0.3 based rom, with also root and cwm recovery
When official update from Motorola will be released, I'd like to update via OTA from 2.3.6 stock rom with root (I've a nand backup obtained with cwn recovery).
Do you think root on 2.3.6 could deny the OTA update.
I hope I was clear about the problem
I saw that root doesn't affect possibility to update via OTA from stock rom.
Is it true or not?
Someone can confirm, please?
Tnx
Hi guys!
This is my first thread post so bare with me I have a galaxy s3 rooted with CWM recovery on stock ROM. If Samsung releases a jelly bean OTA update to us soon, will i be able to flash it or will it brick the phone?
I know i can always flash a custom JB ROM that i know CM9 and AOSP are currently working on, but if i want to do it officialy through Samsung, will i be able to? Are there any risks?!
Thanks!
as long as youve used chainfires cwm ver1.5+ youll be fine to get ota updates but you will need to run cf root again after the update.

OTA's
Since v1.5, flashing OTA updates is supported directly using this recovery. You should however be aware that said OTA will most likely re-install stock recovery and remove this one. Furthermore, it may keep doing so every time you boot. CF-Root v6.3 (and newer) will try to disable this, it is advised you flash that. Just reflashing this CWM recovery will likely not help.

rooted galaxy s3 can i install factory update?
Hello from a noob
. I purchased a Galaxys3 Verizon with android 4.1.1 from a fellow that did not disclose it was rooted.
I have no idea what the steps are if I would like to do the next up date and what will happen if I do it.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks snuke1e
You don't have i9300 so not much help here.... Find Verizon section...
Hello,
I've installed some MODs in my LL9 BTU ROM. Now, i want to update to the lateste LLA firmware via KIES. Is it possible? Would KIES revert to 'stock' without any problem, if it allows me to upgrade?
What's the best way to upgrade?
Thanks a lot.
Kies will only update it to latest firmware if its available in your country.
For me (and many others), the best way of upgrading is to download the rom with latest firmware from here
It will not cause any big harm.
The update is available for me. The question is: can i update with MODs installed or do i need to do something to "revert" it? Will KIES automatically revert, just like it does with Root?
All your mods will be removed during update and dont even try to restore mods from backup (becuase of firmware changes).
You can though, restore apps and contacts etc. but not mods.
Sorry but you will have to mod it all over again if you update (whether by kies or by roms on this forum).
Ah, no problem! All i wanted to know is if it was possible to upgrade with the MODs installed. I'll try to update via KIES now and then reflash the MODs. Thank you! >
Hi,
I have a UK Moto G (2013) running 4.4.4 KitKat and I installed CWM and rooted it some time ago. Now they are pushing out Lollipop OTA I am getting nagged by the phone to update - but, it always fails when I try. Presumably this will be because of the CWM and/or root. I tried a full unroot but that didn't help as CWM kept complaining on the upgrade reboot about something (can't remember what now!). I've read that in order to get the OTA update to work, I have to get the phone completely back to stock, but I can't find a stock ROM and stock recovery for it. Do I have to take it back to stock or not ? Either way, would anyone know how I can get the OTA update to work please ?
At the moment it's back to rooted and CWM recovery.
Any help you could offer would be very gratefully received.
Thanks!
Nobody ?

Get the update file from Motorola, flash it with CWM.
Hi,
I got my first cellphone with authority rooted in Andriod 5.x hereafter I switched on Andriod 6.0.1 after I got him here was rooted in my x axis wrong if I left then he clicks it up right ( Q is p on my keyboard) I have no backup or something . I've reset it , and I am currently actually a little desperate.
Does anyone have a solution so ?
It is a s6
Thanks in advance!

You didn't mention how you updated, but it doesn't sound like you did it officially. You should download the original firmware and flash via Odin. It'll wipe the phone so make sure to back up everything you need somewhere safe. If you rooted via a custom kernel that wasn't for your variant of S6, that might have caused this issue.

I updated with Odin and rooted with Odin. Do you have a link for the original software?
Device SM-920f Netherlands
Well which firmware did you use? Which file to root? Did you have the issue after the firmware update or root?
