(q) rooted note and updating

Is it.safe.to update my note using the standard software update if.i have rooted it?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
best way is to use mobile odin to flash stock firmwares and keep the ever root option when flashing
So does that mean i shouldn't use the Samsung updates our is that just you're preferred method?

I wouldn't use the method posted above unless you verify it is or 4.4.2 which I don't believe it is. There currently is not a root option if you are using kit Kat. Lots of people are waiting for root. When it happens you will surely see a method posted. The methid in the link above is more than likely root for a jelly bean version and may screw up your phone.

He is correct the method above will not work. I believe actually it only worked on mi9. If you do this at best it will simply fail at worst you will brick... In all likely hood you would wind up at a best buy getting reflashed.

Yes. If you put an at&t simcard into your phone as long as it's the SM-N900A you should be able to update to 4.4.2.

If you install 4.4.2 you won't be able to root or anything else for that matter. If you really want to update to 4.4.2 don't worry. It won't erase anything on your phone.

Bestbuy phone flash

I currently do not have a computer because it broke lol but if for some reason I brick my note 3 on mj5 running a 4.4.2 rom would I be able to take it to bestbuy and get them to flash the 4.4.2 update for me to get me back up and running?

I would not waste my time with the upgrade.. It has too many issues.. I am rooted and on JB and love it.. I will never upgrade to KK.

Upgrade to mlg kitkat instead of the official kitkat there are some good roms for mlg and you can go back to jb if you want .
