Anybody know the purpose of the OH3 to QA1 update? Worth the trouble to lose root etc?
How do you turn off the update notice if I don't want to install?
Thanks.
Most likely a security update... I took the update and then re-rooted successfully with Chainfire's CF Root. (I factory restored my phone to oh3)

Rooted using Team Epic's method running the stock rom. I have Titanium Backup as well as Voodoo OTA RootKeeper installed. I have a couple of questions regarding post-rooting updates
If I freeze the AT&T Software Update V3_1205_2_2, will it prevent the OTA updates?
If not, how do I prevent the OTA update from downloading or from bricking my phone?
If I temp unroot it with Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper and then update, will my root still exist?
What are the methods to update the stock ROM if I am rooted?
Thank you for help in advance.

I believe freezing AT&T Software Update will prevent OTA updates.
I heard a report that OTA Rootkeeper did preserve root for the LG1 OTA update, but I don't know exactly what you have to do to make that work. I don't think you have to temp unroot first.
Here are the methods to update the stock ROM now that you're rooted:
Use OTA Rootkeeper and accept the OTA.
Flash a complete root-injected UCALG1 ROM through Odin.
Flash the CWM-flashable OTA update through your CWM recovery.
Theres a new ota update my phone downloaded and wants to install. A little research confirms this is our multiwindow we've been waiting for. I'm running stock rooted, is it not safe to install the update?
First uninstall any SuperSU updates (just in case), then go for the injected root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975560
Update will be fine, but you lose root. Another way is to backup your root first with VooDoo OTA RootKeeper, then OTA update. After OTA update then restore root with OTA RootKeeper.
i updated with root but my phone status said modify. i try check supersu see if its still works but no. so i was woundering can i reflash the stock OTA or i need to find a root method for the t889uvall4?
nvm i got it fux by reinstalling ota and everything is normal.
can i downgrade from t889uvall4 OTA to t889uvall8 OTA using odin?
I have a rooted Nexus 7, what should I do prior to getting the latest OTA so as not to have problems (installation failures)? Are there any spicific apps I should install so as to maintain the root or will I need to unroot get the update then re-root?
Update and re-root.

Previously, I flashed the OTA with TWRP and before rebooting I installed the newest version of SuperSU, and I remained rooted and good to go. I assume it will be the same with the newest OTA.
UPDATE: just installed 4.4.3 using the method I described above. Everything went well and still rooted.
Hello
I have a Tab 10.1 Wifi that I rooted with Odin. I want to update to the newest FW, and I downloaded it on Sammobile. I know I have to use Odin to update it, but will I lose root?
If I do lose root, do I use the same method to re-root?
Also, now that I am rooted, what would happen it I tried to update the FW with Kies?
Thanks for the info

Some answers : yes, you will lose root when you use Odin. Yes, you can use the same method to re-root. I don't use Kies, so I don't know the answer there.

Using Kies was the only way I was able to update the firmware to the previous large update (the one prior to the Kids Mode update). I couldn't update using OTA, as I was getting the "Your device has changed. No updates available." message. So I read somewhere to try updating with Kies.
Once I updated using Kies, the update was successful, but I did lose root access as expected. I'm pretty sure I can root it again, as I haven't seen any posts to the contrary, but I haven't rooted it yet.
Thanks for the replies!
Does Towel Root, the 1 click root work?
Is there a way to save your root, update and re-apply root?
Thanks
I have. 10.1 wifi. Recently updated using Kies. Lost root, and was able to root again using the same root method I previously used. I tried towelroot, but could not get it to work.
NOTE: I and several others have reported random reboots since this upgrade (that added kid mode). I am on the US.
