Hello, I have a Desire Z NOT G2 that I bought. I rooted it using the gfree method posted on the wiki section of the site. There is a new update for it and I'm afraid to return it to stock because the process mentions the ROM for a G2. Can someone please help me. I don't know what to do. Is there a RUU or ROM I can use? I am currently on Build number 1.34.707.5. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks
Don't apply the over the air update. It will remove root and mess with the phone.
In order to root the DZ, the software had to downgrade to the 1.34 software, which you now have. This is not the latest software of course.
If you want a stock ROM with the latest OTA update, go to the dev section and find a pre-rooted ROM that is based on the latest update. You can then flash through ROM manager and you'll keep root and have the latest OTA.
Be sure to do a nandroid backup before you flash, of course.
Thanks. The thing is I already tried to apply the update but it didn't work. I'll start looking around. Any suggestions on what ROMs I should get. Thanks. I ask because I am a complete Noob is there a pre rooted like you said based on a 1.72 with its camera and battery life improvements? I'm looking now for the developers section. Thanks!!!!!!
Hey folks. Just heard the 4.1.2 update is out. I am requesting for the stock koodo 4.1.2 with root injected into it. Preferably a flashable zip I can use through recovery. Seeing as I cant update through kies or OTA. Thanks guys. I hope I put this in the right spot and sorry for any duplicate threads in advance. I haven't seen anyone else send out a request yet on this matter.

If it's actually up, it hasn't been uploaded here just yet. That being said, you could backup your stuff and update with http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ (go check if the firmware is out for SGH-747m).
It won't be pre-rooted but you can root after flashing it. Also, Odin is usually needed to flash stock.

Stock with root injected is good if you don't want to trigger the flash counter incured by using a custom recovery. If it is a zip you will trigger the flash counter. The stock root injected would need to be done with odin or heimdall.
if you just want root then pulled the firmware from sammobile and then just root it.
Someone is bound to put up a rooted stock zip soon. are you rooted now ?
Yes I am. I originally used Odin to to do so. I found someone on here that had the koodo 4.1.1 with root already added.
Send from my awesome stock rooted I-747M from koodo.
Just to inform you, the flash counter was triggered using root66_KDO_I747MVLDLK4 through odin. It changed from official Samsung to custom and the counter to 1. This allows me to update through kies but not OTA. I want to use OTA so I can keep root. Here is what ive been trying...
Installed Triangle Away and reset the counter to 0 and back to Official Samsung SGH-I747M. I can now go into software update and perform an update. But now instead of saying my phone has been modified, it just does an endless searching for updates. My plan was to use voodoo root keeper but its pointless now if I cant even see that update.
Ohhh well. I can go back to stock and update that way (which I will eventually do) but I absolutely need root as I use my phone for ARliberator, OBD2, and much more.
I will keep searching and hoping I can find a way to update to 4.1.2 to keep root or just be patient and wait for someone to make a stock rooted version I can install through odin or flash recovery.

It's just as easy to flash the update and then root. There are guides all over the stickies for it.
OK, I went ahead and updated with kies, then used CF autoroot with odin and now im upgraded with root. Now I feel like an idiot.... It seems so simple now and easy to do. I just made a bigger deal out of it than it was. Kept all my existing apps and info on the phone too. But made a backup just in case. You may now close this thread. Thanks!
Hello, I have rooted my stock Galaxy Note 3 T-Mobile 4.3 and now I heard that Samsung is rolling out soon KitKat update for the Note 3.
My questions is, do I have to unroot and return to stock then update then root the exact same way I did before ?
Does updating to KitKat require a different root method ?
Can I restore my apps and how ? I dont seem to know how to use Titanium backup and I even purchased it!
Please help me and thanks

I believe that you can update to Kitkat via Odin when the official update comes to T-mobile while rooted but you will lose root in the process. As far as rerooting, I believe you can flash recovery with Odin and then flash SuperSu in recovery to get rooted again, although, I think I read somewhere that it wasn't recommended anymore?. Not sure though. I used auto root method which I'm sure would still work just fine with kitkat. For restoring apps I would recommend the App backup and restore from the play store. Very easy to use.
Why dont you flash a 4.4 rom that's out there

I generally NEVER accept OTA updates until Devs have a chance to look at it and okay it, or see what others feedback is after accepting. Don't take for granted that you are rooted and have unlocked boot loader access. And until official KitKat is released its all hearsay as to when it'll come out.
Can you not root a v410 on 5.0.2? If not that sucks can't I get twrp without root and downgrade with a stock rom or something there's gotta be a way
Root not work yet or maybe never until someone can do it yes too sad
