[Q] rooted android but wont update automatically - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Hello everyone. Im having an issue where I rooted my phone with the cf auto root kit you guys have graciously provided. Thank u for that. But my phone occasipnally gives me an update alert but wont update cuz its "been modified" and I think its starting to affect my 4g performance or I maybe wrong .. not sure on that one yet. ..but should I update the root or is there a tool I can use..?.. any help would be awesome...

I guess this is a noob question . Since it wasn't responded to. Hahaha kind of funny. Thanks anyway guys. Cheers !!

It'll help if you provide us more information on what you're currently running. Are you on MJ4, NAB, NC5? Can you provide a snapshot of your settings page and of the update notification.
Our answer will depend on what you're currently running.

Well it looks like im running NAB. 4.4.2 kit kat and as for the update message I havent gotten for a bit but its a over the air update I believe.

If you want to take the ota your phone must be official under device status..... so more than likely you will need to use Odin to return to stock which you can just use Odin to flash nc5 and you are update now ...

Ota coming soon!

I was informed today that Verizon is pushing out the new Ota already. If you haven't gotten it you will soon. 2 questions....
1. Do we have to Odin back to stock to receive the update?
2. Will there have to be a new process to root after we accept the ota?
Should this have gone under the Q and A?

I think this has already been discussed. The nee ota is nothing more than the search feature dumbing down and a new baseband+kernel. I believe you can root this with the current method. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

Why mess up your root? Just give it some time and the devs will probably have the update rooted and ready to flash with Odin !
Can anybody confirm that these will not auto-install?
On my HTC Incredible, I would just hit install later, but the popup would come back every 15 minutes.. very annoying!
Soon as the update comes out I will have a fully deodexed rooted zipaligned version available.
If I can figuire it out, I will also make an Odin image out of it.

No one does. But literally its as simple as putting the old search apk back into the new rom or ota. Nothing to be worried about

I love how Samsung and Verizon take so long to release updates - except when it's to take away the features on your phone. They get those out pretty quickly.
Does this OTA have any benefit??
Any way to block this ota? I have root access

I don't remember where I read this but you have to freeze FWUpdate.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
It's been pretty well established how to restore proper search functionality. The real question should be what do the kernel and radios do? Any improvements in reception or battery life? Any improvements in device performance? And most importantly, does this change anything regarding bootloader unlocking research and work-arounds?

Thanks, didn't even think to do that for some reason. I just froze FWUpgrade, SDM & VZWUpdate in Titanium Backup.. can anyone confirm if there's anything more that needs to be frozen?
Here 1. Don't accept it. 2. We can pull radio and kernel and install those.

Update should fail anyway if you don't have a stock recovery. They generally require a stock recovery to update the phone.

I consistently get -75 to -85 dbm so I really don't think there is a reception issue with the 4G radio for me. Now the WiFi is awful for me. That could be improved. GPS is sick.... I lock on in about half a second

FYI guys, we can still root using the same method after the OTA (VRALG1)

Unrooted. Now Software update install fails

I Unrooted my Verizon Galaxy S4 and naturally the latest software tried to install. It downloaded but fails to install. How do I fix this?

What build are you on? I hope you're not on MDK and trying to update to ME7!
I want to be on the latest version. Not going to be rooting this phone again plus I don't want the constant notifications.

If you can Odin ME7 over MDK, this should work.

I would install custom recovery. Then flash a ROM with ME7 base. That'll get rid of the notification and put you on the latest build with a bunch of tweaks.

To each his own I guess. The link Diceroll provided will do the trick. It hurts my heart though.
I'd do some one a favor here and trade devices with someone on me7 if your still on MDK.

Cheers to that!
Updating to official ME7 through Verizon is just such a permanent decision. Are you absolutely sure you don't want to flash ROMs, kernels, mods, etc in the future? Why close that door?

I'm trading this phone to my brother in law who has no clue about rooting. I'm using his upgrade to get the Note 3
So yeah. Otherwise I'd not be unrooted and getting the newest update.
Btw I flashed me7 over what I had and it worked liked a charm.

Help please new s4 rooted and then updated

Saturday I got a Galaxy s4 on VRUAME7
I rooted it with this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43994323
This morning I accidentally accepted a update that was pushed through (I thought my phone was going to brick) luckily it came back up and I am now on DMI1.
I verified that I have lost my root and now I just want root access back even if it's on 4.2.2 I don't care. Can anyone please advise me how to proceed? I just use root access for one purpose and just need root access for 1 program.
Given the history mentioned above does anyone know if this method will work for me to get my current firmware rooted?

Now unless you don't want to lose root again don't take the next update which should get a prompt for soon.

Help please stable KitKat

I am rooted and on ToxicSwamp MJ4.. I do not care about tripping Knox. I would like to know if there is a stable KitKat and if so how do I get there from here. Do I need to go back to just plain stock rooted MJ4 or is it stock unrooted MJ4? And do I use unrooted recovery or TWRP? And bootloader. .. and Kernal? Things are changing so quickly it seems and I'm getting further and further behind. As you can tell I'm also more and more confused.
If anyone can help I would appreciate it. Please try to excuse the noob-ness of it all.
Thanks

Check out the kitkatkiller thread. Go back a page or 2 from the end. Micmars has a good write up there that should help. Kitkatkiller is currently a test version but it is very reliable and I personally haven't had any issues. Be sure to thank those guys over there. It goes a long ways

I would also highly recommend Freeza's fre3 ROM, found in development section. A few minor tweaks and OUTSTANDING battery life.

Not another "when will we get root" thread........
You will get it, when you get it.
But then, you may never get it.........
Why do people take the OTA then wonder about root.
If it's that important, be patient.......
I agree. What's the rush to update only to be stuck? We live in an instant gratification society anymore. Wait to update. There is nothing of significance in the update that you need it right away.
Verizon is really trying to clamp down on tethering. Foxfire is broke in the update... The most Verizon app requests root privileges to track tethering on unlimited plans. Stay away from updates until those in the know give you the go ahead.

right so why wait? Why not Downgrade to MK2 then flash any system img capable of MK2 install safestrap then re-upgrade the right way? Look under the development section we have a 20+ page spread on how to do it properly. This will give you root and access to a butt load of new 4.4.2 ROMs. It will also give you root you'll just have to deal with this method for time being i doubt it will change anytime soon. It works fine if you havent upgraded yet put on the breaks and do not upgrade your bootloaders. All you really need to upgrade is your AP and CP with hlos. Then switching between 4.4 and 4.3 is cake. Right now I've got 4.4.2 Custom ROM on my stock slot and a 4.3 gDux 1.1 on 1st slot and an AOSP ROM on my 2nd slot. Ive got a variety literally goes 4.4.2 to 4.3 to 4.2.2 AOSP and I couldnt be happier in terms of what I can throw on an use with my phone.
Actually Firefox just updated and now works on 4.4.2
