[Q] Can I Update after rooting ?

I'm asking if I have rooted my phone , can I update my phone with Offical Updates using Samsung Kies in future?!
Yes you can, but you'll need to root it again after updated.
Kies will tell you you can't. You'd have to do that through odin.

Why is that so? I have upgraded from rooted KE8 to KF3 via Kies. Kies won't detect your phone if it is rooted or not as long as you are on Stock ROM. Although, it's a different story if you are on a Custom ROM.

[Q] Firmware Update

Hi I've rooted my phone and when I try to apply the firmware update it doesn't allow me to do it (goes into CWM boot mode instead). Anyone know what I"m doing wrong? Also once I upgrade the firmware.. can I still root my phone?
Thanks in advance for the help

You cant install ota on a rooted device, only on stock firmware
you need to find the update for cwm and download, then flash it
Latest Chainfire root is supposed to allow OTA updates .
But the OTA update will of course break root and you will need to reroot .

thx works now

Confirmed, latest CF root let you update. but root and all modifications disappeared include custom kernel if you have one. and some apps might need to be reinstall.
Just updated my phone and lost all modifications and root, setting it back now.

My SGS3 is rooted. I just recieved an OTA update. But...!

The device will reboot to recovery mode (CWM) and do nothing.
I'm guessing the CWM is the problem here.
Is there any safe solution for this? I don't want to wipe or backup or anything if possible.
Is there a way to just reverse the root?

How do I update firmware on Kies? I looked everywhere for the upgrade firmware option. Can I do it over wifi?

No, I have Kies and I use. I just can't find the upgrade option.
For christ`s sake choose, if you want root forget about Samsung or stick with Samsung and forget about XDA. You can`t have it both ways :silly:

Please come back again when you can read. My problem is definitely not with rooting.
I'm having an issue with upgrading the firmware through the phone.
I would like to listen to you when you get off your high horse.

If you are rooted and you want to keep root delete FotaClient.apk and FWUpgrade.apk.in system/apps, you will not be bothered then with OTA`s.. For upgrades go to www.sammobile.com/firmware and flash the rom you downloaded with Odin v3 3.0.4.and reroot afterwards or flash with Mobile Odin Pro and keep root. See item 2 and 3 of my signature.

You cannot find the upgrade option in Kies ?????
Reinstall Kies may help .
OR their is no upgrade offered by Kies ????
or Kies says no upgrade for this phone .

OTA update works with ClockworkMod Touch Recovery v6.0.1.4 (http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager)
It will fail signature validation and then give you an option to install anyway...

Well, you obviously can't flash a stock FOTA with CWM, you need a stock recovery (Don't know why) and then you can flash FOTAs..
Try flashing firmware using Kies, or downloading it from http://sammobile.com/firmware and flash it with Odin. Both will work

Download and install your update manualy. See item 2 and 3 in my signature on where to get it and how to do it. Uninstall Kies ( it`s a piece of crap ) exept the drivers.
It is still possible update via kies?

Yes if you want, but there is no need anymore to use Kies, if there is a Kies update it will also be available on Sammobile to download and install
I second this "Kies SUCKS"
.....have not used it since my Cappy days.

One Kies will only update the product and codes shown if their is an actual update for them . Wrong codes = no update . Correct codes but no update for them = firmware not updated by a vendor .
Do you have any proof that LH1 is available for your phone and whatever codes its showing Kies .
LH1 can be downloaded via CHECKFUS if its available for your phone .
More information on Kies try a Kies or Samsung forum .

Sorry mate, I am newbie. What do you mean of correct product code?
I have checked the firmware which i flashed is matched with my country original firmware.
The most updated firmware in my country is LH3, I flash leak rom(LI2) before, and now I have flashed back to LG3(my country previous firmware), but kies said my LG3 is most updated rom and it means KIES does not show latest firmware. It should be one more update. I know I can flash updated firmware via odin3. I want to solve it, because 4.1.1 stock rom will be available soon.

If you are on4.1.1 it means you are updated. There is no update for 4.1.1. Rooting doesnt matter. If there is an update you can use KIES or download firmware and flash with odin
