I tried to check for an update on custom ROM and got the ur device is modded and can't get updates. As expected but I also get the same message when I restore to stock rooted. Will I need to unroot to receive the update. Never had a problem accepting an update b4. Lost root of course but that's it. Anybody wanna chime in? Thanx in advance.

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?

Hello, is there a root method where it doesn't interfere with the bootloader, so you still get official update, but you can run root apps.

Rooting will not prevent at OTA update. This has been addressed, many times.
So you still get updates

how can I check and verify current ROM version on the phone? What is the stock ROM shipped with the phone. Is there a name for it? I've rooted my phone by using ROM Manager app. What I don't understand is under ROM Manager/Check For ROM updates tab, it says "Your ROM is not set up to receive OTA Updates. Please contact the ROM developer!
I'll jump the bridge if i didn't get the Froyo when it's available OTA. Please Help. Thanks.

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.

I just bought a used S4 and as expected the seller reset it to factory settings. Now, when I checked for updates, there was a system update that I downloaded. However, my phone cannot install the update. It reboots and starts the update. I see the android logo but then it says error and the phone reboots. I then get a message that says the update was unsuccessful. I am coming from the rebound and don't know what issue the S4 has.

You can download the stock firmware and flash it with ODIN. That would likely fix the problem. Just make sure you use the same baseband version that you're currently on.

If your deadset on installing the newest update you can try odin. It doesnt have to be the same firmware tho. You can upgrade from mdk to me7, you cant go back tho because of it being blocked. Be warned tho me7 only has root capabilites. No custom recovery. Theres a thread in the devopment section with the me7 files posted and theres a guide in the same thread on how to do it as well.

Theres no reason to laugh at him. Maybe he doesnt care about root and wants the newest firmware.

I just read about the new update. Actually my phone is not rooted yet. And it looks like this update will make it hard or impossible to root and get a recovery? I better leave it alone then.

The newest update can be rooted. No custom recovery at the moment but theres a few people working on it.

Same issue with update, only I lose data
I used Odin to go back to stock MDK, then when I take the update from Verizon, it fails as OP states and I lose data. No 3G or LTE. Have to erase everything in the Odin back to MDK stock to get it back. Any suggestions? Not in too much of a hurry, but concerned that I'll never be able to get to the new radio and firmware.
Update: I lose data when I set up Wi-Fi the first time after restoring. Had data when phone first booted in setup mode, then after setting up Wi-Fi, goes away. Must have some mucked setting somewhere.
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.

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?

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

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

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
