Place the OTA on your phones sdcard.
Reboot into Recovery (Power off the phone. Hold Volume Down + Power. Release the Power button, navigate to recovery by pressing Volume Down then select Recovery with Volume Up).
Once in Recovery (Select apply update from sdcard / Find the downloaded OTA zip (Blur_Version.139.12.54.ghost_att.ATT.en.US.zip) file, select it and confirm to flash).
Reboot.

thanks for the reply, but too much for me to even try this, thanks anyway.
for some reason i was able to keep root doing this:
Steps to Restore Root:
1. Make sure that there are no modifications to the system files. If there are the update will fail to flash. There are two way to go about this. You can flash back to stock using the FXZ for your carrier and rsdlite or fastboot (whichever you prefer) or remove the modifications if you know what they are. If you just removed all mods then skip to step 3.
2. Now you will need to install PwnMyMoto and then run it. After 2-3 reboots you should be rooted.
3. Make sure you install SuperSU and OTA RootKeeper.
4. Shutdown your Moto X. Then hold the power and down volume keys for about 5 seconds to boot into the bootloader. Scroll down with the down volume key to recovery and press the up volume key. You will be booted into android with write protection disabled.
5. Open up SuperSU. If it asks you to update the binary update it. mine failed to update.
6. Open OTA RootKeeper. Grant it superuser rights and click Protect Root. It will save a backup of su. After that i went back to the superSu i tried to update the binary but it failed, after that i went to the motoRoot on the phone and unroot the phone,i went ahead did the OTA update to the new software from my phone itself, after that i rebooted my phone and went to the play store and uninstalled superSu and re-installed back then i went to MotoRoot and hit root and it worked for some reason i dint have to do all of the steps you have to do to preserve root! i dont know if it would work for anybody else but that is what i did and it worked for me. so what do you guys think it happen here?
What does it take to modify this so that it doesn't alter the bootloader and prevent us from downgrading later?

I have the HTC Rezound with the recently released O.T.A. ICS from Verizon. My objective is to root the phone and kill all of the B.S. bloatware that Verizon feels they must add to the phone. I have posted before to ask how to do this and everyone says root the phone and kill the apk files or alternatively Root the phone and download Rom Toolbox then kill it from there. I have gone through and followed the "[GUIDE] Super-noob guide to unlocking, rooting, and flashing Ziggys kernel" to the 'T' up until its time to load the Kernel. I do not want to change the Kernel so my qquestion is:
If i have gone through the process of rooting my phone it should be rooted at this point. However when I run Root Check Basic it tells me "Sorry this device does not have proper root access." I do not understand why. In order to get full root access am i going to have to continue with installing the Kernel.
Is there anybody who could help me. I am missing.

1. Wrong section. Please post things like this in the general or q&a sections, not flaming, just telling you for future references.
2. If your device has an unlocked bootloader, flash amon ra recovery or twrp and go to the dev menu and it will say something like give Su permissions or root or whatever, just click that.
3. Profit.
4. You're welcome.
To root you should download the latest version of SuperSU zip file, and flash it with anon RA recovery.

You do not need to root your phone to get rid of the bloatware, you can keep your phone stock unrooted and debloat it yourself and not have to worry about flashing anything. To disable go to menu>apps and after clicking an app you see the choice of disabling.
SuperSU not working
I don't know why i cant get this to work. I have flashed the amon recovery to my phone. Followed these steps:
1)Flash AmonRa Recovery.
2) Boot into AmonRa Recovery.
3) Scroll to and enter the Developer menu.
4) Scroll to install Su. DO NOT INSTALL THE ENG (Unguarded) one. Use the other one.
5) Confirm this, when it is finished, go ahead and reboot. You should be rooted.
Downloaded the SuperSU from google play and select install. after a few minutes it comes back and says the SU binert needs updated, I select continue. then after about a minute it says installation failed.

Flash in recovery. If you have already flashed a custom recovery(amon ra) then pull your battery, hold out for 3 seconds, insert battery, hold vol down and power at same time til bootloader boots, select recovery, select flash zip menu, select sdcard(assuming you placed flashed zip on external sdcard), select file, press power to confirm, reboot when done. Now you should be rooted.

I took the OTA MJ7 4.3 update and then tried doing the M1I root technique and soft bricked my phone. I know some have tried that and others have just had issues where their phone won't boot after taking the OTA. I will share the steps I did that fixed my phone!
1. Place the update.zip from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2502591) on an SD card. You may have to put it in another phone or into an SD card reader.
2. Press and hold volume up + home button for a couple of seconds
3. While still holding those buttons press and hold the power key until the phone vibrates, then release the power key only
4. Your phone should boot into Android System Recovery. Go to Apply update from external sd card.
5. Select update.zip and apply it
6. It will reboot your phone, it will still not boot properly. Remove the battery and follow steps 2-3 again.
7. This time, select Wipe data/factory reset.
8. Once complete reboot your phone, it will boot this time!
I'm so excited my S4 works again!! Hope this helps you guys!

Cool! Glad you are up and running.
The MI1 root method flashed a MI1 ROM, so if you are on MJ7, you create a soft brick by trying to root.
Don't do that!!!!
Right. I figured that out the hard way. At least there is a solution
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
Were you able to boot into android recovery while soft bricked? I experienced the same issue and booted into recovery (volume up, center button, and power button while power is off) and simply did a factory reset. I was able to keep root and fix whatever had gone wrong.
Nevermind, read wrong.

No there were some xda admins or w/e that said the links 2 this root arent allowed on XDA ne more. Not sure why... I used it and it worked perfectly. oh well. Sowwy
Moderator @Naddict posted this one post prior in that thread. Read up and learn about the risk you are exposing yourself to.
Be aware that as of this moment XDA has deemed the Kingo root method and Vroot method are not allowed on XDA. There are concerns with the information which is collected during the root method by the exploit. It is not about a continuous malware which may affect your device but about important information shared about your device, serial numbers etc during the root process which could be huge securities issues. You have all been warned.

Nice to see the wheels turning here guys. Thumbs up
I dont know what to think of this. I did the root the first day, and haven't had any problems. I have talked to a few devs and Android engineers who have checked it out and don't think its a threat. I did manage to update mine to SuperSU from the chinese superuser, just in case...
So, I dont know enough to tell you if it is or isnt dangerous, but I can tell u that Im on like day 5 with no issues. I went ahead the first day and installed DroidWall. DroidWall doesnt have any records of su or the chinese superuser trying to access anything, and netstat doesnt show that the su or superuser apps are listening for connections.
I kinda wish we could get some closure on whats happening...

Hey all, I got a Verizon Galaxy S4 16 gigs. I did the 4.3 OTA, then tried to go back to 4.2.2. I guess that soft bricked it. So do I have to use the MJ7 firmware to make my phone usable again? And if that works, is there any way to go back to 4.2.2? What do I do if it doesn't work?
Update: This worked beautifully, I'm now back to 4.3.
The user lordazoroth originally posted this method here in the T-Mobile SGSIII forum. However, I have confirmed that it works with the Note 3 (at least with the Verizon variant) with one small difference. Feel free to give us both a "THANKS" if this helped you out.
You can disable the OTA Update notification by following the steps below. Just be aware that there is a small change in STEP #3.
Solution:
Step 1. Delete the update located in /cache/fota/ (may be /data/fota) and then click the update notification prompt to install it, it will instantly fail and the notification will disappear. (My phone rebooted and tried to install the update - this is the point where my Note 3 gave the update failed notification. I just rebooted the phone and went to STEP #2.)
Step 2. Disable otacerts.zip located in /etc/security by renaming it to otacerts.zip.bak
Step 3. Disable FotaClient.apk and FWUpgrade.apk by renaming with .bak extensions located in /system/app/
Step 4. Reboot
(NOTE: The difference in STEP #3 for the Galaxy Note 3 is that the [FotaClient.apk] is named [LocalFotaClient.apk] instead of just [FotaClient.apk]. All of the other steps are the same.
Continue running JB 4.3 and enjoy your Note 3 without that nagging update notification!
But the kitkat update is awesome... so you might want to reconsider doing this

Is there any way to disable the update WITHOUT ROOTING? I read everywhere you need ROOT ACCESS to delete the SDM.apk FILE and such. I can't delete it without root.
How can I get rid of the annoying update WITHOUT ROOTING or what is the easiest way to gain root without wiping out everything and starting over?
As of this morning...Verizon seems to be trying to "ram the update" onto your note 3

No way of knowing how far it got. If it was able to get the bootloader nailed in...yes. Screwed. Welcome to kk. If not, whatever you do will wipe at this point.
Safest bet to try and see if you can retain jb is with odin...if it lets you. If it does, great. If it doesn't, you still need odin because you just interrupted a firmware update and probably just soft bricked your phone. So you'll need odin to put kk on your phone.
--
If niether of these things look good, they aren't. So try this first. Try booting to recovery. If you can, it's possible you just saved yourself from learning to use odin. Do a factory reset and reboot. See if it boots to jb. If it does, root asap. If not (it just hangs forever or loops), you're bricked. Try to odin jb. If it keeps failing, you're stuck with kk and you need to odin kk.
If you can't get to recovery and just hangs or loops, odin jb or kk. Whichever it lets you.
If it doesn't let you boot to recovery because it continues to upgrade, at this point let it. This is the ONLY possible scenario that you will keep anything.
Mind you, everything I just covered will never touch any files on external sd memory.
This is a lot to process. So take your time. Good luck!
Odin tutorials are in the general section.

GRRR it installed Kitkat successfully. I'm SO MAD.. I should have set the annoying OTA notification for a different time so that it wouldn't constantly pop up every second... I would have been home free rooted on Jellybean if it weren't for the STUPID UPDATE.
So can I still DOWNGRADE to Jellybean and be rooted? or did Verizon LOCK or restrict stuff with the update? Can I go back to Jellybean keeping all my files?

I read that too... I can't believe one simple tap mistake ruined my whole first time rooting adventure... Using KINGO was so easy and right when I WAS ABOUT TO DELETE THE STUPID SDM file in the system folder, the update popup came up and accidentally hit the UPDATE And it just rebooted instantly!! I hate how they don't even allow you to cancel or anything... like totally forcing it in your face!!
I still have SuperSU but no longer functions it says "There isn o SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem! If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device!"
So there's no way to have root access now?? I can't flash back to Jellybean??? Verizon/Samsung really screwed us here. There must be a way to have root access in Jellybean... I don't care for custom roms... I just want root access!!

AH EVIL VERIZON... freaking Verizon...
There seriously is no way to flash back to Jellybean and be rooted??? or be rooted in Kitkat?? This is SO RIDICULOUS..
I'm at least glad FoxFi fixed a way to still work with KitKat... if they didn't, I'd be really pissed to have no hotspot and stuck with KitKat... screw you VERIZON.

As it has been warned now many, many, many times.... There is NO GOING BACK if you take the NC4 update. Also, as of now, there also NO root method for it. You're stuck on it.

So it would be pointless for me to try to use Odin to flash back to stock Jellybean and then KINGO? It won't even flash back?
I did successfully root before OTA installed Kitkat on mine... does that make any difference?

Unfortunately no. Once you have nc4 loaded you cannot go backwards.

bummer
I really like the way my OneMax w/verizon is and am not really interested in updating. The automatic firmware downloads is eating up my data daily. I just accepted to install it so it would stop, but it won't install due to error (it's a rooted device). I have S-Off on the phone right now and used the SuperSu unroot feature to try and let the update do it's thing just so it would stop downloading. Now, the root checker apps say I'm not rooted (but i think i still am). I tried the virtuous manual stock update but it gives me a installation aborted message while in recovery mode. Any help would be appreciated!
I think you need to have stock recovery & stock rom installed to accept the ota.

Yes, if you want the update you will.
one last question, my device won't pop up on ABD devices on my PC anymore. Am I still rooted?

you only need to have stock recovery installed AND 100% stock system files. no system mods whatsoever.
assuming you enabled USB debugging under the developer options on the phone....you may need to update your version of adb/fastboot.
The root question....are you s off? If so that question is irrelevant as you only need to flash a custom recovery and flash the latest su zip from there to root any ROM...even the stock ota.

Thanks for the reply!
Yeah I have S-off on the phone. I will update the ADB version and retry. I don't know why I thought the su would be able to do a one-click unroot. All it ended up doing was just confusing me. I'm new to rooting and flashing, and it's fun figuring these things out. You guys are really helpful around here. I'll look for a tutorial on how to flash a custom recovery.
I just received a Android update in my notification menu. I am rooted and running a custom recovery (twrp). I know I cannot accept the update but I can't swipe it away. Anyone know how I can get the update removed from my notification menu?
Have you tried long pressing on the notification and disabling notifications?
I froze system update in ti backup I didn't have a pending update but I would try that
Is that file under. Com in tb?

Thanks for the thumbnail. I did find it in TB and froze it but I'm still getting the update notification in my notification pull down.
Did you restart the phone after
that may work
Don't know if this will work or not, but on the Galaxy S3 the way to stop getting nagged about an OTA was to edit build.prop and replace all references to the old ROM with the new one. So you could try making a backup of build.prop, then edit all references to ZV4 and change them to ZV6. Save the file, make sure permissions are set to rw-, r--, r-- (0644), and reboot.
I would strongly suggest making a nandroid backup first.
Here's how I have been doing it:
1. Download Autorun Manager
2. In settings under advanced enable view services
3. Go to Google Services Framework and disable update...see below.
At your own risk if you decide to try it, of course.

If the update has already downloaded. Disabling the OTA still wont get rid the the notification. Easy way to get rid of it is long press it and go to app info. This will take you to Google Play Services. Simply uncheck show notifications and the system update in the pull down notifications will go away.
Just a temporary fix to get it out of the way. I reccommend just downloading a ZV6 rooted rom.

You will need to use LG Flash tool if you are stuck in TWRP.

Lucky you. Good find. Glad you got it sorted. Now you can relax.
I have a question that I wanted to ask before I go any further. I bought a G3 last week, rooted it and installed twrp recovery, and have done multiple backups.. Had a hardware defect so I had to exchange my phone for another new one. I received a system update just now so I was going to accept the OTA update since its not rooted, completely stock. My questions are will I be able to root and instally twrp after this update and once I install all my apps, and if rooting and installing twrp is successful, can I restore my backup that I did on my other phone, even though its a different phone? Its from the same carrier and same model phone. Thanks for your feedback.

Don't take OTA. Root it and TWRP it. Then flash STOCK ROM ZV6 Deodexed or Odexed, then you'll be up to date and keep root with TWRP.
