I had my note 2 rooted using Kingo one click method before and recently unrooted prior to the OTA update. I am running stock 4.3 and don't have a custom recovery installed (that I am aware of at least). I've received the system update message twice now and tried to install it both times. It appears to go through but then when it finally boots up nothing has changed and I'm still running 4.3. Any thoughts?
Did you uninstall any stock apps? I have read that can block updates.

You could try flashing the stock tar though odin?

I don't believe so. I did a factory reset not too long ago so it should have everything. Anyone else have issues?
How do we get rid of the "System Update Downloaded" notification and/or delete the update file(s) to reclaim space?

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?

Hmmm...interesting. Will be interesting to see if anyone else has same experience. Were you only rooted...ie. on stock room/rooted?
I presume the update maintained your apps and data, no?

This is off topic but when you receive sms notifications do you have the quick reply option in your notification menu?

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?
Sent from my SGH-I317M using xda app-developers app
Any idea if it includes the subsequent BMA updates that fixed the various issues introduced by 4.1.2 (ie: poor battery life)?

Cheers... Have to wait till I am home... Hot file always times out on my phone
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.

Is it okay if I update if I'm rooted and is there any reason not to?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
If you update with kies you will loose your root. You will hate to root it again.
Also, if you have a custom recovery the update will set the stock recovery.
But for the update, the multi windows is nice but not all app are compatible.
That's why I went to a custom rom with unlimited multi window.

So ota ill keep root? I also read the update caused weird battery life
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
I don't know for ota because my status was modified and I was not able to get the update. I had a custom recovery, that's why.
For the battery life, I can't help you for this. I kept this rom for about one day and now I run the international "custom" rom with unlimited multi window.

Does the unroot function in the Super SU paid version work?
Unrooting from the 4.4 kit kat stock rom. Im running stock recovery also.
Has nobody used the Full Unroot feature of SuperSU with kitkat and the note 4?

Made an account just to reply to this. I was in the same boat, and tried that. Phone rebooted but couldn't take OTA. When it restarted after failed OTA install, went into bootloop. Had to reflash stock through ODIN and problem solved. Sorry man.
So Im running stock recovery and stock rooted 4.4. So that means I either wait for lollipop on Kies or Odin back to stock then take the OTA.

Not sure about this but Odin to stock and taking update will keep all your data if that is what you are worried about. Only issue is you might not be as smooth keeping your settings. I had some fc's and lag. So I reset to factory and restored apps and there was a huge speed and smoothness increase.
Im planning on reseting, trying to maintain setup on a major update always causes lag.
