I'm new to android and rooting. I got a at&t Note 2 last night and rooted it using this guide http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...s/247891-t-guide-how-root-unroot-t-note2.html and forgot to update the phone to latest OS which is 4.1.2. Now I want to update which is the best way to do so? I did not change roms just rooted. Also how do I know which recovery was installed?
Thanks in advance.
As long as you didn't install a custom recovery, just use supersu or ota root keeper to unroot and take the software update. If youre not sure about recovery, power the phone off and hold volume up+power+home button to boot into recovery and check.
Edit:Just looked at the method you used. You can use chainfires auto root with Odin to flash the stock recovery back on the device for the software update to work.
Will look when I get home from work.

Hello,
I messed up my Note 8 and recently was able to reinstall 4.1.2 stock, I tried connecting to Kies and it doesn't work. I wanted to update to the newest software then root. Since that wasn't working I rooted via Odin then attempted to flash twrp so I could flash a custom rom. Root works but the custom recovery doesn't stick... I tried unticking reboot in odin and the system still reboots into standard recovery.
I tried using the toolkit and its stuck on waiting on debug even though debug is clicked.
Can anyone help me install a custom recovery via odin or another way?
If you have the at&t sgh-i467 version - there is not a custom recovery for it because it has a locked bootlader.
Additionally, the newest 4.4.2 ota update has not been rooted as of yet - so if you must have root, don't install the ota.
The original mf1 rom is rootable, but again there is no customers recovery due to the locked bootloader.
This only applies to the at&t in version...
use Odin
Need help?
I have a rooted N7, stock ROM with ClockworkMod recovery v6.0.4.3. When i try to install OTA update, it would go to CWM recovery and it would not install. Please help.

as mentioned, you need stock recovery.
Hey guys, I have got some troubles in flashing stock recovery. Currently my m8 is running Android 5.1 (GPE) and I have rooted it via TWRP. When I tried to flash the stock recovery to get an OTA, it showed the recovery had been flashed successfully. However, when I reboot to recovery, I saw a Red triangle with an exclamation mark says error. This is not my first time to flash stock recovery and it used to work. I have no idea on what is going on at this moment. Need your help.
Android version: 5.1
s-off
unlocked
build number: LMY470.H9
If you get a red triangle in the recovery, that is normal. I have it on my phone as well and the OTA worked successfully.

hey thanks for replying.
I have tried to upgrade my phone under this condition, however, it comes with an error again. (also a red triangle when OTA)
Last time when I flashed the stock recovery, the phone became unrooted. And the OTA worked successfully. But this time even I flash the stock recovery, it is still rooted. I don't know how to deal with it.
I have heard that some of the recent OTAs do not update properly if the phone is rooted. I've never rooted my phone at all so my updates have worked fine. You might need to unroot before you proceed. That can be done via the SuperSU app.
It's a fact that on sense roms ota don't even work when you unroot the rom !
In that case you need a NEVER rooted rom and stock recovery. This came in the picture since lollipop ! Guess its no different for GPE

thanks man! I have unrooted it and now the OTA works
Hey guys.
I'm currently with stock Oreo firmware - v365. Bootloader unlocked, TWRP installed and rooted. I get a notification of an update (373) daily, which I can't install I reckon because I'm with a custom recovery. Each morning I find the phone restarted in recovery and I have to reboot it manually.
So, how can I go back to full stock + stock recovery which will allow the proper function of the OTA? This will be my wife phone, so I don't care about rooting and relocking my bootloader.
I'll appreciate any help and advice.
