Hello guys,
Today I got a notification of the .266 update available on OTA. MY question is, will Voodoo Rootkeeper help me keep root acces, or will it not work?
In the description of this app is stated it doesn't work for 4.3. I don't know whether that means I can't create a backup on 4.3 or I can't keep root upgrading to 4.3. Please advice
I dont believe Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper works with this update. You need to either find another way to keep root or root after the update with one of the many tutorails

That seem to be a smart idea There are some bugs indeed but I do not have the time nor needs to change the ROM..

Or using the "1. root, 2. use ota to backup, 3.temp unroot, 4. restore root, and 5. flash jb" method? I dont want to update to the cheesecake leak...but I do want the 77.12.22 OTA update. Is it possible to use the cheesecake method to retain root on this OTA update?

Wrong section. Has been answered more than once. Yes you can retain root, but you need to read through the threads to find out how.
I too have been looking for this...
I probably took longer to type the "wrong forum" comment, then to actually help someone out.
I searched as well, and the only guide I could find is for the JB Leak...
Can anybody provide a step by step for going to 77.12.22.MB886.ATT.en.US from rooted shipped and retaining root?

It probably didn't take longer. I also did help him out by telling him that you could retain root. Also I was not even being rude about it, I was just pointing out that it is much easier for everyone to look for answers before asking questions.
Edit: Sorry friend, I thought you were talking about JB leak. This method should work anyway though, if it does't, bleh.
....ahem.
Before you flash JB leak, make sure Superuser app AND Su binary are both fully updated. Current version of Su bin is 3.1.X. After that, use OTA Rootkeeper like normal.
So,
1 Root ICS
2 Update Superuser
3 Update Su
4 Protect root with Rootkeeper
5 Temp Unroot
6 Flash JB
7 Restore Root
8 Profit
So the .145 update is coming via update center in my device. I just want to know, will i lose my rooted access of i update my phone? And what about the other mod ive done like camera button mod, docomo status bar etc? Please gv some feedback before i update it.

I don't know about the latest update but I've previously done OTA updates before and kept root (I've got a Xperia T not V).

I also had no OTA available so used PC Companion to go from 9.1.A.1.140 to .141 on my Xperia T. I don't know the differences between XT .141 and XV .145 but was able to regain root using Bin4ry's Root Many Android method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460, it might work for you.

if you perform OTA update (via PHONE), you won't loose anything, actually USUALLY you don't loose anything, and of course, using root keeper...
that's totally obvious when you use PC Companion, you will loose root..
And for regaining root access, use DoomLord EasyRootKit, which is now available in Android Development Section, it actually covers ALL devices, including V
wish you luck
ok. ive try update it via OTA, while keep the root access using voodoo rootkeeper, but no success. the main problem here is ive installed CWM. i for got about this "Keep in mind that at the moment installing CWM will broke OTA updates, even if you unroot and/or remove CWM." so there is no chance to update it via OTA anymore right?:victory:

CHANCES are always CHANCES, so you have to try them
otherwise we wouldn't call them "Chance"
but, in theory, with aforementioned conditions, it's hard to believe that you will be able to update via OTA...
Hi guys fairly new to android been on ios since the beginning.
my problem is when I try to update from 4.2.2 to 4.3 OTA it downloads fine but when its installing gets about 25% done then phone reboots and I get error message "could not install software update please try again", tried it about 20 times in last couple of days just keep getting exact same error. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Hi!
If you have CWM or TWRP installed, uninstall it and the update. as recovery prevents OTA from completing.

Waiting for good news. :fingers-crossed:
Great news I am on 4.3 with root via OTA. Yes it did work!
So what you must do: Flash .534 via flashtool, then root, then OTA (with ota survival mode enabled) to 4.3!
Don't do anything else like disable system apps, only what I said in this post!

You are correct mate it is only partial root

rooted partially
Basically I would not consider it rooted as when using flashtool, busybox was unable to be installed.
Can't even edit build.prop
not rooted via OTA
Agreed, unable to edit build.prop to add in my net.hostname for the LAN. So wouldn't consider it a root at all.
Anyone found a way to root without unlocking the bootloader?
help update failed
Can anyone help me please have flashed my c6903 back to 534 then rooted I don't have Cwm I am on stock recovery and . Have tried to update with voodoo temp unroot and also survival mode in such but each time the installation fails am.I missing something thanks

I just got an update notification on my rooted note 3. Last time this happened it eventually just decided to update all by itself without my intervention. Will root keeper or the superuser ota saver save my root?
Will the update even go through this time around with a rooted phone?
Thanks.

That's actually not true. I got the update even though I was rooted, and so did half the people on this forum. No disrespect.

Follow the instruction and rename those files.

Then use Titanium Backup to freeze AT&T Software update. I've done those two things and so far I have not received any update notifications.
Got a demo-used Sony Tab Z2 sgp511 a couple of days ago.
It had stock 4.4.2 ROM on it. Was going to update but the battery was to low so i rooted it first. Everything works great.
Charged the Tab, upgraded to the latest stock 4.4.4 ROM, and i still got root, so no problem so far.
Now my binary need to update, but this fails, and i have no TWRP or CWM.
Any good ideas about what could be the problem??
See if this script will do the update:

My bad. The tab is not so rooted as I thought..
Apps gets root (super su shows a toast saying that root is given), but the root don't work.
This is probably why the binary update don't work..
Aarrgghhh...
Any idea how to root the 4.4.4 (.167)??

I don't -- I'm on a 4.3 Note 3.

All versions after release of 4.4 has binary changed so hard to reply on one specific method to get root.
Download Root Master su, root master or iroot.
Select root
Reboot.
You can see kinguser app installed.
