[Q] After Unrooting..... - Samsung Galaxy Mega

Hi,
I have root my I9205 after I bought it three months ago. (I just root it nothing more)
Now I want to upgrade the stock rom (coz there are some minor problems)
Will I be able to upgrade the Stock ROM (OTA) after unrooting my I9205??
Anything else I need to consider??
Many thx!!

Have you tried OTA yet?? Even being rooted???

AFAIK OTA after rooting is not possible. Phone has to be 'virgin' stock to have possibility to upgrade by OTA.

Just flash the latest stock Rom, this will update and unroot all in one go.

Can I update OTA my Stock-rooted S3?

At this moment I have stock rom, but rooted. Will I be able to get the JB update when it'll come out? Will I lose the root? Will it be a problem?

Yes you can OTA update, yes you will loose root but you shouldn't have any issues. You will be able to re-root in a matter of seconds using CF root or the toolkit.
Once more your OTA update may fail during install on a rooted rom .
Multiple posts report update failed .

If it fails ota you should have no issues with kies. I have had to do this for 2 of the 3 ota updates I have received so far. This will also lose root though.

My question is does anyone know where the ota would download to in the filesystem since I am rooted I get an
Error code when I try to update firmware. I would be more then happy to upload the update as well.

AT&T HTC One Firmware update

Yes I know there have been threads on this but all deal with custom roms.
I have the stock rom, rooted and unlocked bootloader, with TWRP recovery. What do I need to do to get the OTA update, OR is the update available anywhere that I can just flash it through TWRP.
I am assuming I will need to flash the stock recovery back (Which I don't have), and possibly lock the bootloader. Does locking it clear the phone like unlocking it does?
Is the AT&T OTA update 4.2.2 or just some tweaks? Anyone know the benefits?

You need to be completely bone stock to get any sort of OTA updates. And the update you're talking about depends on what you're running now.

Ok so basically change to stock recovery, unroot, lock the bootloader. Will the lock clear my phone like unlocking it?
Currently I have 4.1.2

That's right, and what do you mean clear it, you mean wipe it? Yes I believe it does.

Ok if its not 4.2.2 then I'll probably wait anyway since I have to wipe the phone and redo everything.
Anyone know what it does change?
Thanks for the help guys.
I did the update and didn't see any major changes, anyone know if I can find a changelog for the update, does att even provide them?

What is the lastest FW for htc one At&t?
I am sick of waiting att to release 4.2.2. The only solution I read now is to convert att rom to developer edition, which requires s-off and supercid. However, I have no intention to keep the device bootlocker unlocked. And I heard current s-off and s-on methods no longer work with 4.2.2.
So would it work if I convert the rom to developer edition, then s-on and relock the device, and at last upgrade to 4.2.2?
I'm running 1.26.502.12
I believe this is the latest.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Why are you guys waiting to upgrade to 4.2.2 if you are unlocked and rooted? Just install a custom ROM that is built from 4.2.2 basebuild?
I've been running 4.2.2 on my at&t htc1 since day one of owning the phone.

That is a viable option if you're already rooted. I ran AT&T stock rooted 1.26.502.12 for a while myself. But I've used both Scott's Clean Rom (Based off of stock AT&T/ HTC 4.1.2) and I'm using Android Revolution HD 12.1 today (HTC 4.2.2). Once you're rooted, there's those and plenty of other variations on HTC's Sense 5 interface with either 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 out there so there's not really allot of reasons to stay bone stock. Any updates (or the useful parts of them, at least) will be picked out and used by the Devs we have working on the One so I wouldn't bother waiting on OTAs. Just keep a nandroid of your stock setup in case you need to revert back for warranty purposes.
Good luck with att. They genuinely suck. I flashed to viperrom and supercid and flashed firmware my self. Not going to wait till Christmas for a damn update from them while they figure out how to update their terrible apps like att drive.

What I do is Odin back to stock... Data wipe... Flash through Odin a second time... Data wipe again... And you should be able to accept updates again :thumbup::sly:

You can get OTA updates when your phone reports back, in Odin mode, with "Official" for both Samsung and Status
in short you will need to revert to stock ROM and recovery and wipe it 2-3 times like @FLBoy1991 said
Is the KitKat OTA out yet?
