With latest update from T-mobile? Any specific steps needs to be taken?

I did. Just installed the app. Clicked the button in the app, did the ota update, went back into the app, clicked restore root, rebooted the phone et voila.

DID the ota update? How did you do this since the system becomes modified and therefore will no longer check for a system update??????

Worked for me. I kept it from going modified between updates. Strangely enough it went modified the reboot prior to the ota.
I just went into supersu and had it forget all the root assignments then rebooted twice to clear the modified status back to normal.
OTA Rootkeeper saved supersu. Ota went without a hitch. Restored supersu with rootkeeper and the living is easy.
YMMV
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
It didn't work for me after updated with Kies, but Imanaged to regain root with CF auto root.
Ok. Tried myself. OTA successful, baseband upgraded and looks like root preserved. Device status after ota uptate shows modified.

I'm showing the same status as well - Modified. I try taking out the sd card and reboot, but still the same status.

Even though the update is quick I think you may need at least 50% battery etc, did you try Settings->About device->Software update plugged in?

Wanted to know if you will still get ota updates with a stock rooted phone?

Yes you will. But you'll lose root and CWM of you accept it.
Edit: if you have superuser paid version it does have ota survival but its not guaranteed to keep root.

If you have a custom recovery or if you have removed sprint bloatware it won't go through. Just root us fine though

On stock rooted Roms and some TW Roms yes. But i usually take the update on my stock rooted Rom. It tries to install and restarts the phone then i get a android with triangle screen. But, i pull the battery and restart and all is fine. No more ota notifications and everything remains the same...

You know if you read in the general section. There is an ota notification kill. Then you dont have to worry about that. But to each their own.

Has anyone tried Rootkeeper with this OTA? If so, can you provide feedback on the results?
How do I apply the JB update and keep root? or gain root after update? I am on stock ROM.
Thanks
You can buy mobile Odin and use it to install the update, and have it inject root and super su at the same time.
Will that work a file that's flashed through recovery? Or is there an Odin file somewhere that I haven't seen?

Yes, it has an option to apply OTA update zip files
Awesome. Thanks. Also, I have no idea why my replay posted twice. Lol.

Got mobile ODIN, flashed back to stock firmware except recovery with everroot enabled. That worked just fine, and when it got to the update zip, it rebooted into recovery and attempted the update, but it failed. I don't remember the reason, if it gave one. Now I have the brightness slider but still 4.0.4... weird? I restored from backup and retried...same result.
edit: Think i might have figured it out. I was not on the right build number to start with for the update.

Yup otas patch a specific build to make the next. If you have the wrong recovery, modem, or are modded it will likely fail.

boot into stock recovery / factory reset ( you will loose your data setup )
You don't need to do any boot into recovery stuff. I get this message every now and again (bone stock). Just reboot your phone and it's gone for a while.
Apparently Samsung is hyper-sensitive about their file system and if the root checker gets even slightly tripped, you get this message. Just do a simple reboot and it fixes it.
Did you disable any default apps ?
It happened with me too and was fixed by resetting to factory defaults which was annoying.
Also memory cards are suspected to change device status, check this thread.

I was able to download the 178MB update. Then instructed to restart, which works just fine. At the 27% completion, the update says "failed" and then the device restarts.
The device was once modded but I reverted back to stock. It is not rooted. Although, I just realized the "Device status" still says modified.
Anyone else experiencing something similiar?

There's a thread on this already...
Please read & search.
BTW, have you tried/attempted to install Google wallet or modify any of the contents in the device?
So a couple of weeks ago, I installed a font app which changes the font. When it rebooted, the device was bricked... So I went through the long and tedious process of DL the firmware and flashing stock to my device then getting my phone back to the original state since everything was wiped... Now I have a problem, I can't get ota updates cause it says my device is modified. And I don't understand cause I'm fully stock!!! Check the pictures out with my phone's info but please help.

Stock ROM and recovery? Reset flash counter?
Good thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2336392
There's no OTA update right now anyway.
Yes it's stock ROM and recovery. And no I did not reset flash counter. To do that, it would have to root again right?

Yeah just root only with CF Auto Root, run TA and go into SuperSU app and choose "Full Unroot" option.
Hey again.. I found some time to do this.. Re-rooted then used TA, went to download mode and it said "samsung official" then went to super su to un-root. After that I went to check in about device and it still says I'm on custom!!! Wtf!

Yes, that's the number one reason for me.

I guess one good thing came out of us getting the last 4.3 update, we are ready and didn't have to learn about Knox the hard way.
