Hi
I have installed SuperSU to my phone
Will this stop me getting any updates OTA
Thanks
Lee
No,
But you may lose root after ota.

Well, I installed SuperSU by flashing CWM-SuperSU-v.0.87.zip in CWM (which was first temporarily flashed using CWM.zip as an upgrade in the stock recovery)...
Here is the link for both zip files that I used to root:
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyNote/rooting/ICS
That rooted the phone fine while keeping everything stock and everything appears to work great, but now the OTA is failing...
So I'm running, thus rooted, stock 4.0.3 ICS and tried updating to 4.0.4 via OTA. Any ideas how to fix the failing OTA update without flashing a clean stock ROM via ODIN?

Unroot your phone using Busybox Uninstaller (If you have installed busybox from Dr.Ketan thread only) from Dr.Ketan Thread. And Try Again.
Thanks for the suggestion, but the rooting zip that I mentioned didn't come from the Dr's thread, so his unrooting zip won't help here...
I updated my post above with the link to the zip file that I used for the rooting.
Looks like installing SuperSU this way did something to the /system that causes the OTA to fail... Any ideas on how to work around this?
open super SU - setting - Full unroot
Thanks, but I already tried that: SuperSU uninstalls, but OTA still fails at apparently the same place. I installed it back from the market and tried the full unroot again, with the same result... Any other ideas?
Before rooting, all the previous OTA updates worked flawlessly.
Did you flash a custom kernel, e.g. franco (as also in the webpage)? It may be the issue.
I also tried to unroot using the Voodoo OTA RootKeeper, but that didn't help me either.
If you can download 550MB data, then just flash using PC odin.

No. Only stock kernels, regularly updated OTA

Yeah, looks like I will have to...
I just thought that installing only the SuperSU was such a minimalistic way to root and would be easy to unroot since the app itself provides that feature.
The only other thing that was done to this phone was to make Titanium backups of several apps, but I don't see how that could affect anything either.
Anybody else ran into this exact problem?
Easy Unrooting?
dr.ketan, is there a "SUPERSU-Busybox-UNinstaller.zip" corresponding to the SUPERSU-Busybox-Installer.zip from your original thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
?
I see a set of attached files at the bottom of this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20963730&postcount=3
, but the insides of the SU-Busybox-Installer.zip are not the same as SUPERSU-Busybox-Installer.zip,
so I assume the SU-Uninstaller-signed.zip will not work. Or will it?
Thanks.
You can try the uninstaller. If you look at the script basically it will remove superuser.apk and su binary. Since superuser (by chainsDD) and superSU are using the same apk name (superuser.apk), the effect will be the same. However I'm not sure how to remove busybox other than by flashing stock kernel.

This is for SU Busybox installer, not for SuperSU busybox installer.
If you have rooted with same file, you can see attached with that uninstaller, then only it works
May it be work, but chances of leftover there.
Not so easy UNrooting...

Thanks for the input, kopitalk. Sounds like flashing stock kernel would be the only certain way to unroot in this case...

Does your kernel create an older version of Busybox in /sbin/?
I'm having problems with apps that require Busybox as they obviously don't look in this location.
Seems installation here bypasses any attempt to update Busybox as it reverts back to /sbin/on boot.
I can only assume this is down to incompatibility issues with newer versions of Busybox.
Is their any way the kernel can be updated to resolve this issue?
Cheers

ARHD come pre rooted.
ROM details:
Removed software (CPU) rendering - full Snapdragon 600 (GPU) rendering
Fully optimized and tweaked
Root access
Unsecured boot.img
Newest BusyBox
RAM optimizations
etc etc etc etc.
I used CF Auto Root a while back to root my Nexus 6 (months ago). It did the trick getting the bootloader unlocked and rooting the phone. I then proceeded to install TWRP and then installed Pure Nexus. From then to know the phone has been a joy to use. This ROM is fantastic.
Recently I decided to look into custom Kernels, Elementalx is the one I have been reading up on. I installed the kernel, and then purchase the EX Kernel Manager. Using the app I realized that the phone wasn't rooted, or so it told me. I test this with the Root Checker Basic App and it confirmed that the phone was not rooted.
I am not sure what happened but what I wanted to do was run the SuperSU zip via TWRP again, but wanted to ask you guys if this would be an issue. I can't see why it would but it Rooth had already been achived and then it was gone so..... I just wanted to ask in case.
Sorry that this was a little long winded. Thanks in advance.
Magisk and SuperSU achieve root without modifying the system partition through patching of the kernel's ramdisk (?). When you installed the new kernel it installed an unpatched copy. This is why you lost root.
Download SuperSU from the XDA thread and flash it in TWRP to restore root.
