As long as you have stock recovery and you didn't flash any custom ROMs you could just update from the zip provided in the forum. You have to be bone stock . put zip on external SD card and flash it you will lose root but there's a way to get it back if you read the threads. Good luck i already updated and have no plans on going back.

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?
Hello
I have rooted my Galaxy Note II and installed CWM for the recovery. I am also running a stock ROM. There is a new OTA update, and before I am going to do it, quick question: when I update, will I still have root access or will it break it somehow? I'm running the Stock 4.1.1
Flash stock recovery..so u can get ota then just root again..rooting takes 3 seconds

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!!
Can I root my note 2 and then stay with the stock Rom, will I get OTA update in future,
Thanks in advance, really appreciate your help.
If not which is the best rom to update

Sarge, are you sure about that? CF Autoroot installs a 4.1 recovery. Isn't having a non-stock recovery causing OTA updates to fail?
You can revert to stock recovery after you have rooted though.
When you get the OTA update you can (supposedly) use CF Root again to root the 4.3.
Yes Ranger ....sorry...
If you've got 4.3 then CF will give you the 4.1 3e recovery...and of course the step will fail....
If you are on the ATT version of the device with the 4.1.2 original rom then it will work..
The threads are getting mixed heavily with 4.3 official rom questions ...which we obviously don't have ....and this old guy gets them confused....
However ...
Since CF is modified for use with different carriers ...
Chainfire may have updated files for the 4.3+ users ...
I don't use them ...but it's worth a look ....g

I download the new OTA on my rooted Note 2 but now I'm like what should I do.. 1. Should I unzip the file first with androzip than move it over to my SD card or just go Str8 through Twrp? Please help out if you can.. Thanks
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
Unless they've figured out a way recently, you can't install the actual OTA with a custom recovery, only stock recovery. You just need to find a copy of the stock ROM in one of the forums on here and download / install through TWRP if you want to stay stock, but rooted.
The stock OTA SHOULD NOT be applied using TWRP. Use the stock recovery only or you will get an error. You need to be on Stock, stock, stock MC2 unrooted in order to apply the update.zip.
It doesn't matter where you put it or what you name it. If you can point to it in Stock recovery, it will install it.

I'm kinda lost what ROM your phone is at right now... Sounds like you are on 4.3 with CWM recovery, if I read right. But like I said I got lost
If on 4.3, flash the stock recovery

Or
You could just flash this via ODIN and remove root

Right now it's on the stock touch wiz that came with the phone so I should just flash the stock recovery and everything should be right

If you truly on stock 4.3 with only custom recovery then flash the stock recovery.
The second one is full stock with only root. Root can be uninstalled. But until the update comes out don't think we're going to really know what state phone needs to be in.
