Hello, I have a question. Can I download an OTA update unto my note 3 that I ODIN back to stock. It's not rooted and has the stock recovery. I have a message about an update from t-mobile (5.1.1) I belive. Will it successfully flash?

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?
is the latest security patch update coming out in batches? i still have not received it.im stock

i received it but i couldnt install it because i was rooted and on a rom. you'll get it today. if not just flash the modem.
Is it okay if I update if I'm rooted and is there any reason not to?

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

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.

Well no since your device is modified.....you can easily uproot and get back ota updates....I personally think..using a deodexed rom is better...but that's just me

Yes you can update via odin. And yes it will wipe your phone.

What is the best method to update BOB7 to 5.1.1?
Sent from my SM-N910P using xda premium
If you're not rooted, KIES or OTA are the official update methods. Either of those will download the update. OTA update patches current stock incrementally and some updates may be large. I'd prefer KIES rather than OTA if going from OB7 to OK1.
Odin is the riskier unofficial (somewhat equivalent) of KIES for rooted users. Stock tars are found in the general forum for faster downloads. Good to have latest for backup in case rooted users need to return to stock. You would need Odin to root but I wouldn't start with it until updated, if not rooted yet. But you wouldn't need Odin if remaining un-rooted.

Use odin and download the OG5 tar or OK1, or if you're on stock then just update ota

Kies has always worked for me even when rooted.

I rarely hear that repeated for confirmation but there may be a prerequisite to start using KIES- BEFORE ROOT? Afterwards, it seems to quiry for an elusive serial number that you just can't seem to satisfy despite trying numbers from phone or original box. Some have reported KIES only works for un-rooted phones but a few reported, it works?
Anyway, that's why I also recommended KIES before root.
