I followed this thread to root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207
I think I used the Root66 stock VRALJB I don't remember. My phone model number says SCH-I605, the Android version is 4.1.1, Baseband is I605VRALL4, Build number is JRO03C.I605VRALJB. I don't know if the kernel number is necessary because it's really long to type out, but if you need it I will post it.
Then I unlocked the Bootloader using AdamOutler's thread and now I have a custom TW recovery thing.
When I try to do the update in the Settings, it reboots to the TW recovery and doesn't do anything. When I select to turn on the phone with the TW recovery, it says the update failed. Someone told me that I shouldn't do that update because it's something called OTA and it's bad for my rooted phone, but then how do I know when I need an update? Do I have to check this forum every day for announcements? Which thread will the updates be in?
Thank you
The update option in settings is for Verizon OTA updates. OTA stands for over-the-air. The updates are sent to your phone using the Verizon data network. After the update is loaded onto your phone, it reboots into stock recovery to install the update. Since you have a custom recovery, (TWRP, I believe), the update will always fail. I see that you have the latest baseband, which is really the only reason for taking the OTA update to begin with.
Now that you have a custom recovery, you can flash any of the wonderful 4.1 ROMs that we have at our disposal. I'm currently on Jedi X11 and I recommend that, but there are more to choose from. One word of caution: if you decide to flash a 4.2 ROM, then you can't go back to a 4.1 ROM unless you flash the sd card downgrade .zip file. This is because 4.2 will change your directories around. I will try to link to a thread with the downgrade zip in it on another post.

I haven't installed a ROM because I want to keep all the stock stuff, but if there is a ROM that keeps all the stock but somehow increases speed, then I'd install it but I don't know of any that don't not have some stock stuff removed.
The annoying thing is that the phone keeps telling me to update every 3 days and I don't like it. Is there a way I can stop this without doing anything bad to the phone?
While it's true that all ROMs are not 100% stock, you have to ask yourself what you really want to keep. The ROM I'm running is Touchwiz-based, which means it has all the S-Pen apps along with true multi-window functionality. The stuff that I left coming from pure stock was mostly bloatware.
Either way, if staying on pure stock is all that you want and you want to stop receiving the OTA update notices, then you need to use an app that can freeze other apps. Freezing means that the app is disabled, will no longer appear in your app drawer, and will not start up when you boot the phone. I use Titanium Backup to freeze apps. I recommend freezing apps over outright deleting them because you may inadvertently soft brick your phone that way.
Once you have Titanium Backup or another app with the same functionality, then you need to find and freeze SDM 1.0. It was mentioned in this post here:

I will add that I am not sure why you would unlock your bootloader if you didn't intend to flash any ROMs. The act of unlocking the bootloader is what took away your stock recovery and causes your OTA updates to fail when the installation process starts. You may want to research how to get your phone back to 100% stock if you want to be able to take updates in the future.

I'd also like to know about this. I used CASUAL to root my phone, and while I appreciate the features in the 4.1.2 update, I really don't want to lose root. Any insight into this matter would be appreciated.
Perhaps this is what you are looking for if your just worried about keeping root:

Updating won't 'brick' your phone (not sure if that is even possible with this phone without doing something incredibly drastic). Worst case you can always Odin back to stock - just back everything up first. Excellent guide here on how to do that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207
But since you are unlocked I would look into flashing a custom ROM to get the full advantage of it (Jelly Beans or CleanRom are excellent). Tutorial on that is also in the link above.
Hope this helps.

Use Root Explorer or equivalent and delete the SDM.apk in system/apps. This is the apk that checks for updates.
Oh and if you want to keep root it is never a good idea to accept an OTA update.

Odin can be picky after using casual also (try the rooted odin file if stock fails as well, thats what i had to do). You may need to remove the casual drivers as well for odin to recognize the phone, below is a link on that:

Also the new release of casual for the 4.1.2 update is set to be released tonight, does anyone know if he could just re-run and to get root and a custom recovery back?
Hopefully not needed.

Thankfully I was able to get it to boot into recovery mode eventually. Odin and Kies worked correctly to recognize the phone in download mode and I tried the root66 image with no luck. I'm downloading the VRALJB now to see if that works.
Update: I got my phone back to stock using the guide heric1 posted and the "alternate restore" image here. No bricks in my house.

Take a look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261478 created by developer beanstown106. Here you will find the latest update modified and placed into a flashable zip file through your custom recovery. If you flash one of those two files that he has, you can have the latest update, keep your root and unlocked bootloader, and be on a stock ROM.
There are two versions of the stock 4.1.2 ROM. The odex version doesn't allow for custom themes to be flash over the stock ROM, while the deodex version does allow for custom themes to be flashed over the stock ROM.
If you don't want 4.1.2 altogether, you can use Titanium Backup or My Backup Pro to freeze the SDM 1.0 file. A slightly more challenging method would be to use Root Explorer or something similar to it to go in and modify the name of the file.
---------- Post added at 10:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 AM ----------
For me I use the odex because I have no intention on using themes. My custom ROM and theming days have long passed. All I need is the ability create backups of my stock ROM and the ability to take advantage or root required applications such as Titanium Backup and My Backup Pro.

I updated my Note to JB 4.1.2 using KIES. After that I installed TWTR 2.5, and rooted my NOTE. Now I want to go back to stock Recovery, so I can reveive any future OTA updates, but I cannot find the flashable .ZIP anywhere. Does anyone know if it even exits? I googled and searched the forums everywhere but I can only find the Gingerbread recovery. If anyone knows where can I find the stock recovery for JB let me know.
Thank you

Just go back to kies and select firmware update again. It will unroot and reinstall 4.1.2. The only thing it won't do is clear your flash counter. But you'll be stock with the stock recovery again.

I was looking to just getting back the stock recovery without having to flash the whole ROM again. I have reinstalled the stock ROM before using ODIN, and that get's rid of the flash counter. What Im looking is for a way to:
a) install STOCK ROM
b) install CWR or TWTR, and install Root zip
c) reinstall the stock Recovery (I believe 3e) and keep root.
d) be able to install OTA update if it comes.
I dont want to have to install STOCK ROM whenever a OTA update comes out. Or maybe im mistaken, and reinstalling stock recovery breaks root?
Anyone knows if it's possible?
I don't think I we'll even see another update. Note is reaching EOL.
Even with stock recovery... the update will most likely fail because you're rooted.
recovery doesn't have anything to do with root either. Root is only for when booted into the os.
Instead of going to stock with Odin to get the update... how about just going to samfirmare.com and getting the Odin package of whatever update may come and just installing that with Odin?
That's your best bet. Tbh

With my wife, brother, and sister-in-law's Note 2's, were rooted with CF-Auto-Root, kept stock recovery, and were able to install the OTA update successfully. That's 3 Notes, so it's not a fluke, or a one-off. They lost root, but was easy to root again using CF-Auto-Root to get it back.
So I suspect that having the stock recovery can enable me to install a OTA update, if one comes to the NOTE 1. I love to keep it as simple as possible. I don't have any trouble getting the Odin update package, but that requires one extra step. Im just being curious why nobody has the flashable stock recovery.
Also, since it was previously rooted, can I immediately get to installing the OTA updates/most recent At&t updates for my device? Will they even be there? If not, can anyone leave me a link and explain how to do so after I finish the unrooting process? Thank you.
Also, I just found the rom page on HTC, and I think this is correct. I'm still on 4.4.2 anyways That, or 4.2.2 Not quite sure. Is it possible for me to just download this from the website? If that's the case, then I won't unroot it. My only gripe is that I can't uninstall anything on my phone even though it's rooted. When I restart, the app still remains. This is only with stock apps, of course. Anyways, with the HTC rom, if I have to flash this or something, etc., I'd need this to be explained.
Edit: I did find a youtube video in which I can get OTA updates on my phone, but it says that I need to have a twrp custom recovery. All I really did was root my phone and I have the super su app.
You need to relock the boot loader and then select unroot in super su options. You will also need to flash stock recovery if you want to receive OTAs.
This shouldn't delete any data.
I would recommend going s-off and flashing dev edition Rom. Quicker updates and no bloatware to deal with. Worked great for me.
Before doing so, just copy your contacts and messages to ext SD card. Reinstalling your apps isn't too much of an inconvenience considering you get out from under AT&T restrictions.

Relocking the bootloader typically wipes data and renders the phone unbootable (expect the RUU).
Also, it seems like you are suggesting the method or return to stock for OTAs. In that case, relocking the bootloader is not necessary. Relocking the bootloader is only required to RUU (not for OTA).

For OTA, you need stock ROM (nothing modified in system partition - but from your subsequent statement it sounds like you were never able to, anyway) and stock recovery.
From there, and also as long as you are on AT&T's network, you should be able to get OTA updates. Root is okay (does not prevent OTA updates in itself). Unlocked bootloader is also ok.
You should be able to return to stock and OTA update without losing your data. However, you should always be backing up your data (and be able to restore it accordingly), if its that important to you. Your data is never guaranteed to be safe, even with normal day to day usage (much less OTA updates or rooting) and you should backup to avoid regret.

Could have easily searched these forums for that answer. System partition (where the stock apps are stored) on this phone is write protected. Even with root, you need to install a kernel mod to disable write protection.

I probably won't unroot if I can try to get ota updates. How can I check what recovery I have installed? I downloaded flashify and backed up the current kernel through my drop box, so I'm not sure if that did a damned thing.
Looks like Verizon is pushing 24B update today. Very minor fixes but it's not showing up on my phone yet. Here is Verizon's release for it. http://www.verizonwireless.com/dam/support/pdf/system_update/benefits-lg-g3-7-9-15.pdf?null
Hmm. Do the interruptions mean that they have fixed notifications on wifi? It seems a bit cryptic.
Does anyone know if there will be issues if you try to take this OTA while rooted?
I am still on 23a. The OTA is not showing up and the upgrade assistant is of no help either.
Going to wait and see if we can flash back to a previous version, especially if root and bumping are locked out. Don't want it and currently, LP is running pretty well for me (has been since April when I upgraded to it). I haven't rooted as of yet either. Don't have a need for it right now and want to wait and see when the next big OTA comes out or if this upcoming one does fix the WiFi sync issue completely.

As a general rule, with ANY phone, running ANY software, do NOT take ANY OTA's while any modifications have been made to your system (this includes rooting, custom recovery, etc.). Could it go through? Maybe, no one really knows until some bonehead tries and it fails or a trusted member of the community lets people know. If it doesn't, you're in for much more of a headache than the update benefits you, and possibly much worse. Your only options should be either to 1) wait until someone releases an updated rom based on this update (which this update is pretty near worthless anyways - doesn't contain anything major), or 2) tot or kdz back to stock and upgrade without any modifications.
I am still waiting on it to show up on my phone for OTA. I'll upgrade to it and let you know if it fixes the wifi bug.

Once that's done, I'll unfreeze my frozen apps and I'll accept the OTA. Hopefully, I'll retain root. Through all of the previous updates with this phone, I have no lost root in taking an OTA.
I'll report back in around a half hour or so.

Are you rooted and/or bumped? If you rooted and then unrooted (but didn't flash back via TOT or KDZ), then the system image is modified, even if you removed root as rooting modifies the system partition. Therefore, no OTAs will be accepted until you flash back to pure stock via TOT or KDZ.

Posted a link to the OTA files in @bweN diorD 's thread [REFERENCE] Stock IMG files + Stock Links & Mods.
I do believe if you were rooted going from KK to LP, it definitely didn't work and it could be this time around, if you used the new one-click root, it does the root differently to the point that it won't allow an OTA. I do remember I could update from 10b to 11c to 12b rooted as long as I had preserve root enabled in SuperSU. But, going from 12b to 23c rooted was a no-go and you had to flash back to stock. So, I'm going to chalk this up to the new one-click root method has done something that won't allow even a minor OTA from 23c to 24b to be allowed.
My freshly flashed 23C KDZ is a quarter of the way optimizing, then I'll take the OTA and try the one-click root again. After that, I'll test reflashing the 23C KDZ once more.
Edit: Update...weird. Under JasmineROM 7.0 (no debloat or mods, but rooted), it gave me the OTA, which I then moved from it's folder. Now that I've flashed the 23C KDZ in CSE mode, now it says I have no updates. I'll reboot and try again. If I have to I'll use the Activity Launcher method to run the OTA I already downloaded.
Update 2: Haven't had any luck applying the update with the "Activity Launcher" method. FOTA starts, the phone reboots but just boots the ROM and I have a notification that it failed to update. System Updates still claims I don't have an OTA available even though I did under JasmineROM 7.0 (rooted but not debloated and not modded).

I can give that a try and see if it behaves any differently than the file I downloaded, but I doubt it. I would put this on my sdcard and then what?
So if the OTA fails on my stock/rooted phone, is there any way to get to 24B without a losing everything? If that's not available today, is that something that typically would be available at some point?
I rooted my Kyocera with Kingroot, worked well. Wasn't to keen on some of the files it was adding and found I couldn't unroot with Kingroot built in feature. So I then found I could use SuperSu-Me to rid myself of Kingroot and purchased. It removed Kingroot and I am still unable to uninstall root so that I can upgrade to lollipop. All I get is software update failed. Any suggestions. I even did a factory reset and phone is still rooted. I have not tried any install and custom roms.
Did you ever fix this?
OTA uptate to lolipop bricked my phone... I was able to find a Rooted 5.1 rom to rescue it. But like you, I cannot remove root and all future update attempts keep failing...
Did you try to flash a stock 5.1 rom on your rooted 5.1 rom? That should allow to get back to normal upgrade (back in time, it usually worked, still I am not aware of latest android pains regarding that matter)

I am not sure you need it to be verizon to just be able to leap to "future" android version, unless this version is only available via kies from your PSP/carrier.
flashing any stock rom might work. Alternative would be to find an unrooted kernel for your android version of a rooted but else stock ROM (as some people do as they like TW experience but with the added benefits of root). But they are just guesses, I wish someone with more technical know-how would join, I just talk from past experiences, not from current ones, so it might have changed.

I rooted with Kingroot and updated my phone. It was on 4.4.2 1.102vz. My phone boots up but screen goes blank after the Kyocera screen. I powers it off one time but it was luck. I can boot it into stock recovery. I would like to flash the 5.1 ROM to it and beagle to use it. I do not know how to flash a ROM to the phone since it does not have fast boot. Can anyone assist me? The phone was new and never used too. Was going to be a great phone for me at work. I have rooted before and took a ota and I only risked loosing root. But that was with Droid phones. That is where I have more experience in.
