you can't install OTA Update on a rooted phone with custom recovery
you must have a stock phone with no alterations

Last time I updated via KIES I did´nt do anything else as plug the phone in and update via KIES. BUT afther the update I lost my root, but no problem to root it again.
Thankyou mlhdk for helping
I already figured it out what todo as following:
I rooted my device again with newer version of CF-Root v6.3 as it supports Stock Firmware Updating (OTA) and rooted once more after successfully updating my device stock firmware.

Quick question, do you need to reinstall all the apps (root only apps) again after updating & reroot?
Maybe you cam help with this issue:
Phone was rooted and I downloaded the firmware via OTA (I didn't know!). I re-rooted it with CF-Root 6.3, which went fine.
Now If I check for software update it says "no update available." The build though is still the old I9300XXALE8 instead of ALF6.
Is the updated firmware file saved somewhere, and if yes can I install it via CWM?
What else can I do?
Thanks

Hello everybody,
Greeting!
I've got Samsung S4 SSGH I337 bricked. I was on 4.2.2 until I was curious to get the 4.4 update. However, after reading on the forums it said you cannot upgrade to 4.4 directly (Except OTA which I never got). You first need to upgrade to 4.3 and then upgrade to 4.4 using the update patch. All went successfully until I though 4.4 seem no good to me as the root method was not available and I personally didn't find 4.4 to be much different than 4.2.2.
I tried to downgrade, without knowing a thing about Knox, by updating a ATT Stock Root MF3.zip update. It went through but with some errors, which I don't remember. I was still with the same 4.4 as the update was a waste.
I then tried to downgrade to 4.2.2 flashing the I337UCUAMDL_I337ATTAMDL_I337UCUAMDL_HOME.tar with Odin. This never worked and I bricked my phone. The phone is not unable to boot and comes up with a screen - Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
Kies doesn't recognize the device. It just keep saying "Connecting". I later learnt that it's the Knox Bootloader that is not downgrade able. I tried flashing the leaked 4.4 firmware for SGH I337 to no luck.
Please help!
Thanks a ton in advance!

What was the fix? I just did the same thing you did and am not sure now to fix it.
Hey,
So I usually dont have many questions, but I have not updated my DNA in a very long time Currently I am running
Android Version
4.1.1
Sense Version
Sense 4+
Rom Version
ViperDna 1.3.5
I am running TWRP 2.6.0.0 and I think I am running DSB kernel but really cant remember because its been so long, phone is unlocked and S-ON.
I am looking to update to 3.5.0 which looks to be the latest one available, I have a hard time telling because there is no order in the threads regarding the updates that have been released,
I seen it says that you need TWRP BETA .6 which I have downloaded, and I have already downloaded 3.5.0 Rom.
So now my question is, what kernel do I need in order to install these on my device without issue, and in what order do I need to update them?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
I still have my unlock token bin saved, maybe it would be faster and easier to re lock the phone, update to stock OTA kitkat and then install 3.5.0? Looks like a custom kernel isn't necessary in the install instructions?
Let me know, thanks again in advance

Hi, guys! I'm not really sure if my phone name and carrier is really significant but I digress
I'm just wondering, I'm currently using a GPE ROM for my Htc, which I acquired from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706442
This ROM gives me android 4.4.2 and it says that I need to update to 4.4.3. I know that OTA is not included with this custom ROM so I found another link which gives me the link to the update the custom ROM (4.4.3): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706441
I tried updating to 4.4.3 but the problem is every few seconds the phone would just restart for no reason and this wouldn't stop. I went to the recovery mode and recovered my backup to 4.4.2 and my phone is well again.
Does anyone know what the problem might be? And I'm not in desperate need of the 4.4.3 update so is it safe to just wait for the 4.4.4 one and then update from my 4.4.2 custom ROM to that? (Skipping the 4.4.3 ROM update) Or do I need to do 4.4.2 then 4.4.3 then 4.4.4?
Just a few more things but is it dangerous not to update your ROM? Like to keep using this GPE 4.4.2 ROM for a long time without updating or anything. Is it safe to also keep USB Debugging mode on at all times?
Thank you for reading and much thanks for replying in advance! :laugh:
Hi,
I have a UK Moto G (2013) running 4.4.4 KitKat and I installed CWM and rooted it some time ago. Now they are pushing out Lollipop OTA I am getting nagged by the phone to update - but, it always fails when I try. Presumably this will be because of the CWM and/or root. I tried a full unroot but that didn't help as CWM kept complaining on the upgrade reboot about something (can't remember what now!). I've read that in order to get the OTA update to work, I have to get the phone completely back to stock, but I can't find a stock ROM and stock recovery for it. Do I have to take it back to stock or not ? Either way, would anyone know how I can get the OTA update to work please ?
At the moment it's back to rooted and CWM recovery.
Any help you could offer would be very gratefully received.
Thanks!
Nobody ?

Get the update file from Motorola, flash it with CWM.
