OTA Updates work even if you root your device. You need to unlock your bootloader aswell to get rid of the
update notifications.
Or just freeze/disable the Update Center app.

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.

Ok, thanks for the answers! I'll root it soon... :good:
just in case ics never comes and in case it does come.
i just rooted using the thunderbolt tool i did not change or install any roms, now i want to unroot ,
do i need to back up anything that i might lose? if yes how or suggested methods.
only new app installed while rooted is titantium backup pro ,
thank you
You can use the tbolt tool to unroot but it does wipe data.
Honestly it's probably a better idea to flash the Liquid ICS ROM if you want ICS.
I'm not aware of any good root-free backups but I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than I will come along soon.
You could try mybackup pro but I don't think an app to backup app data without root exists. It just isn't possible because I think the app data is stored in the system. The only way to access the system is with root permissions.

No just stay rooted. Find a tutorial for disabling ota and you'll be fine. Sometimes unrooting and accepting an ota is the worst thing you could do. You never know if it will have a new hboot or if that hboot is even rootable or unlockable.

I remember with the last ota a lot of people were complaining about getting the ota while they were sleep and waking up to a messed up phone. I know for sure there were a lot of the sense roms with the otacerts file still there.

if they release it there will be a rooted version within a day or 2, maybe even before it gets pushed to your area

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?
I've received a message for a software update. When I attempt to install it using the <About Device_Software Update>, I get a pop-up saying my device has an unauthorized update installed. Use Samsung Kies to install new update.
Anyone else getting this error?
I'm rooted using CF

Can we use Kies to install the update with Root or do we have to flash back to Stock first?

It's not an error. Rooted devices don't get OTA's

You can use Kies to flash, or download the .tar file and flash via Odin...that way you don't lose your app data.
Once you flash the new update via Odin, just re-root using CF-Auto-Root

Ah. Thanks!
Where can I get the .tar for the new update?
Sent from my SM-G900T using xda app-developers app
If you have G900TUVU1ANCH that is the newest available version.
I don't think everyone got this update from G900TUVU1ANCD right away.
Probably just a delayed update to that.
That one should be available through samfirmware.com
Ya I am on that version but I got a ota notice last night but couldn't take it because I am rooted

That's strange
I'm not rooted and says I'm up to date when I check.
Not sure what that would be then. Either that or a glitch in the matrix.
Mine says it's been modified in an unauthorized way, even though it's practically bone stock. The only thing I can think of is I have developers menu unlocked. Any ideas?

I'm not rooted, but I did turn on ART. I changed back to original, still custom status Turned off Dev Mode (even though the application is still there) and still no luck. Restarted multiple times.
What is ART? If I may ask
