[Q] Rooted stock won't apply 28.5MB OTA update - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hello I have a rooted sprint note 2 running 4.1.2 and it keeps asking me to reboot the device to install a 28.5mb update. I have stock boot and stock recovery. What do I do to apply this update?

[Q] Accept OTA?

Hi,
I keep getting the notification for an OTA update on my rooted gnex on 4.1 (not 4.1.1) with cwm. I flashed the early unofficial zip and now i keep getting this notification every 15 minutes or so. Would this update be safe to do with an OTA root keeper?
Any help would be appreciated

From my understanding, you would get error when applying the update because you have a custom recovery.

Ulver is correct. Get the updated zip from xda and flash it yourself.

I've read the New CWMR from koush actually accepts OTA's.

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
if only thing that's not official is recovery just flash the stock recovery and let the ota come.

[Q] CWM): !!!

Hello everyone i wa wondering how can i remove cwm recovery from my phone? i want my phone to be clean! and i wanna have an ota update to JB first so after i can root!
Via ODIN but why? By the time you get the OTA there will be a custom ROM to flash... unless you are one of the lucky few to get it on the day of release.
Make sure to restore your stock recovery as well.

I do have one question though if I root my phone will I still get ota updates?
No you will not receive ota updates rooted. Unrooting is pretty easy though and someone usually turns the update into a flashable zip.

Flash with stock firmware for your phone model, or kernel only, if you have stock rom with cwm

is the flashable zip the exact! same thing as the ota update? does it come with touchwiz and all same features as ota update?

Run.. your phone may explode at any moment.
Worse case you will have to re root the phone. Not a biggy tho.. Rooting this thing is exceptionally easy.

That's your JB OTA. You can accept and it will install (if you have a stock recovery), or fail (if a custom recovery). If on stock recovery, you will loose root, but can just root again. If on custom recovery, nothing will happen, but you'll continue to receive the notification until you either have a build.prop that matches the latest base, or flash a ROM based on the latest base. Which is my recommendation. Browse the options available in the Android Development thread, choose one of the LJ7 ROMs, flash, and be happy!
ROM - Odexed Blue JB "Holy Grail" LJ7
Baseband - LJ7
Kernel - Stock LJ7

The update did not work for some reason. Is there anything else that would need to be changed in order for the update to work?
U have stock recovery?

Hello,
I too had root, CWM recovery and stock ROM on my note 2 and was able to successfully take the OTA update to 4.1.2 and retain root access. I obviously have a stock recovery now after the upgrade but root is still present! I did have SuperSU (paid for version) that has the Survive OTA update mode and it worked like a charm! One thing to note is that it was not obvious at first that root was retained.
Immediately after the update, my root access failed when trying to use Titanium backup. Also, other apps requiring root access were failing as well. So, I went into SuperSU and ticked the "enable Super User" mode off and then on again and rebooted the phone.
After the reboot I noticed that Titanium Backup had root access and then verified the rest of my apps were working as well.
Three cheers to the creators of these wonderful programs.....I'm very glad I paid for the updates and got the added functionality!!
Good luck to all and hopefully it works as well for you as it did for me!!

Canadian note 2s 4.1.2 update

So the 4.1.2 update is out. But I have root. This will remove it correct? and does anyone know if it has multi window?

Any idea if it includes the subsequent BMA updates that fixed the various issues introduced by 4.1.2 (ie: poor battery life)?

Bell 4.1.2 is here!
As of 2 am I got the update notification!
Damn! This update has turned on my haptic feedback....
Only in the stock internet it seems. Cant shut it off!
Any way to keep root while updating through odin?
Or can I root it again with odin cfroot.
I am just frightened by triangle away.
Any comments?

Got it. Copied the update.zip from cache (showed as 0.0 mb. But 230 mb after copying)
had to boot into recovery, install the update that way. And I used ota root keeper (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper) to back up and restore root. Cheers.
