My phone would not show that an OTA update was available for the Lollipop 5.0.1 update so I had to use Odin for the update.
-I did a full unroot.
-Using Odin I flashed the OC1 Neutered full odin rar file
- The update was successful and I now have 5.0.1.
My questions begin here. How can I regain root access using Odin now that I have the update.
Can I flash the NC5 kernel, use towelroot, SU, without tripping Knox?
From what I have researched so far I believe i would have to go back to KitKat to get root access. I am just trying to confirm.
Any and all help is appreciated. I have a good bit of experience I am just new to the forums. I would love to have Root access with this new OS.

I was stock rooted with Kingo and marked official with Wanam Xposed so I unrooted with Kingo and ran Xposed Disabler. So far I have downloaded the official update three times, it goes through the motions of rebooting and installing, but at the end it says it failed.
How can I get this installed? Will Odin'ing Freeza's tar fix it? If not, do I need to install an official MJ4 tar first? Will either of these tars wipe my data? Any other suggestions? I'd like to end up stock rooted on KitKat without tripping Knox if possible.

I was getting a fail at 27% I flashed the stock Tar for Kitkat from Freeza and it worked great all data in tacked. I was not rooted but I am guessing you will loose root.
Hello all, I did a quick search and found nothing new on here.
I have a Vz I545 4.3 (MK2) that I rooted years ago. I never got the OTA update to 4.4.2 because I was rooted.
It asks everyday and I just tell it later.
I am ready to wipe my phone and install 4.4.2 (hopefully rooted).
Hoping its fairly easy. Any help appreciated.
It's as easy as downloading the nc2 or nc5 full wipe tar file to flash through Odin. After that you just need to download towelroot, selinux changer, and Safestrap 3.72/3.75 then you're good to go!
Does anyone know if you can update to 5.1.1 from rooted 5.0.1 with knox not tripped using flashfire?
I have tried it with the s6 and it didn't work. Had to flash back to stock after trying.
Normally I just flash the stock file with Flashfire then flash again the same file with system removed and that got 5.0.1 up and running.
Do you think this is possible?
Right now samfirmware is not working for me to download the update. My internet connect here is too slow I think. Gets about halfway then breaks.

Yes, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...l/how-to-update-to-g900tof6-5-1-1-pc-t3141404
so since I am knox not tripped I flash the stock 100% rom without injection and the other partitions using odin, downgrade the kernel and use towelroot to root it again?
That is how to get around the bootloop issue?
[Q] Is there root process for I337UCUFNJ5?
Hello,
Recently there was a firmware OTA sent out from ATT for the Galaxy S4 SGH-I337.
Prior to this I rooted the phone using towelroot.
Of course after the update I lost my root and now I want to root it again!
Will I have to reflash an older firmware (NJ4) or does anyone know of a process to root this current firmware NJ5?
I took the update also. Lost root. I then used Odin to flash the I337_NC1_Stock_Kernel. Have Towel root v3 on phone before flashing since I lost wifi and data after the flash. Run towelroot and its rooted. Then odin I337_NJ4_Stock_Kernel on. Its rooted. Use Titanium to stop update of NJ5. Until someone figures out how....
Flashed stock Lollipop 5.1.1 ROM using ODIN, Device binary & status are CUSTOM? Help!
Hey guys! First time poster!
A few months back, I tried using CF-Auto root in order to gain root access on my phone, but I flashed something incorrectly and I was never able to get root working correctly. I know because of this, I tripped KNOX, and whenever I rebooted, there was a "Set Warranty Bit: Kernel" at the top of the device.
Due to the recent Marshmallow 6.0.1 upgrade, I want to unroot and get stock firmware, so I decided to do some research and go ahead and try to flash the stock G900T 5.1.1 FOJ4 firmware (tar.md5 file), so I can get my ability to update my phone via OTA updates. I looked up my matching firmware (FOJ4) through Android File Host and then unzipped it to my desktop.
I followed a guide and used ODIN 3.10.7 to flash the stock firmware file onto my phone. I also wiped cache/ factory reset before and after flashing the stock image.
Everything went well and I no longer see the "Set Warranty Bit: Kernel" when I boot. The problem I have is that when I go into download mode, the CURRENT BINARY and SYSTEM STATUS are both CUSTOM.
I was under the impression as long as you flash a stock firmware to your device, you will unroot and your device will be official, and then you'll be able to do OTA updates. Maybe its because I have KNOX tripped? Maybe can someone clarify that for me?
My main questions/concerns are:
1.) Is there anyway to make my device status/binary as OFFICIAL, in order to regain OTA updates?
2.) If I want to download the 6.0.1 Marshmallow update, should I just try through KIES or downloading the tar.md5 file to flashing via ODIN like I did with stock?
3.) Will there be any risk of bricking since my device is still "custom", if I go the above route?
4.) As a last ditch effort, should I just try downloading a different stock Lollipop firmware, and try flashing with ODIN again?
5.) What does this sub think of Marshmallow 6.0.1 update? Is it worth it?
Thank you guys in advance! Hope you have an awesome day!

#2 with Odin will work and is the correct way to go, #3 will not happen as long as you use Odin, you can't untrip Knox but that's OK since it doesn't have any effect on functionality. #4 is unnecessary and won't do anything to help. Someone else will have to answer #5, I Odined the update and immediately went back to CM13
