[Q] Over The Air Updates while Rooted

I am planning on getting the Galaxy Nexus when it is released for Verizon and have a question about how updating the device works if you are rooted. If you are rooted and Google releases an update, do you receive a notification as if you are unrooted? Also, can you apply the update? If so, do you have to root again after the update is complete? Thanks in advance.

you still get the notification, but you would have to root again after the update.

You can always root and flash back to a stock kernel after (not sure how this works, seen the kernel in the galaxy nexus android development section)

What do you mean about a kernel? If the kernel is updated OTA i'd imagine it would be better than the stock one.
If I go the route of flashing CWM recovery, how can I apply OTAs?

Galaxy Nexus OTA update to 4.3

Hi! I was having and I still have troubles with loosing of data signal in some areas when I have 2G only. I unlock my bootloader, put CMW recovery and put newest radio but it didn't help. But I saw that 4.3 Jelly Bean has comed and I didn't get OTA update. I didn't changed stock ROM and I didn't root my phone. Will I get OTA update or because I did things that I describe earlier I will need manually update to 4.3? Thank you.

[Q] I747M still on Rogers 4.1

Hi,
I just noticed that my wife's Galaxy S III still has original 4.1 stock ROM. I tried to do a OTA update (Rogers) but the system is saying that there is no update available. The phone is rooted.
Do I need to unroot the phone to get the update?
Thx,

Just download 4.3 Rogers and you now have the latest firmware with root. Good Luck

If you load 4.3 with an updated bootloader, you won't be able to downgrade the OS.

Yeah that is true but if you don't want 4.3 then you can always download the 4.1.2 or 4.1 instead.

Thanks ALL
Thanks All!

[Q] Need help with updating

Hello all, I'm new to this forum and I could really use some help with my phone. I have a rooted AT&T Samsung galaxy S3 running on 4.1.1 stock with cwm. I would like to update to the latest stock OS which is 4.3 but I'm not sure how to do it right. I would prefer to keep all my data but I don't mind losing root. how should I go about updating my device safely?

If you are rooted then you can flash any 4.3 ROM in the android development and they all have KNOX free bases. You will most likely need to update your baseband to MJB. Enjoy your KNOX free 4.3!!!

You should first check to see if you can get an OTA update. Some users have reported being able to update OTA to 4.3 even with root. Go to Settings => About Device and check for updates. If you can't get an OTA update, you may try manually updating via cwm via the method posted in the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
Before updating to 4.3, however, I would suggest you ensure you are done with taking advantage of all the opportunities you have at 4.1.1 including free unlock as you would not be able to downgrade the 4.3 bootloader once you've upgraded. If you don't have Samsung Kies installed on your PC, you may install it to back up and restore your data. In other words, you cannot go back to an older version (easily) once you have upgraded.

[Q] I need help updating my rooted note 2!

So I got an update notice this morning for my tmo note 2. My phone is rooted but still on stock 4.3 rom. My question is how can I safely update my phone? I can't just update because im rooted right? I'm assuming that the update is the 4.4 update.

If you have root only it should just update. But if you have frozen any apps or modified system files the UPDATE WILL FAIL.. If you are on Custom Recovery The UPDATE WILL FAIL...
You will Loose root of course
Hope this helps..

Do a backup in titanium backup or whatever you use then unroot in supersu and then do a factory reset and it may update fine for you if not you will have to go to an older firmware and do the ota to what your on now and do the ota for kitkat

If you are able to update then please let us know what the update is. I would like to know if it is in fact the long awaited 4.4.2 update.
