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.

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.
I finally got the KitKat update last week. I tried rooting by the Towelroot method and.. Bingo! Took less than 30 seconds and I now have root. Could not be easier

Hi do you know what is the date of the update? As I have the update after the 6th June and I read somewhere that towelroot won't run on update after the 6th June 2014.
One more thing what about knox warranty void?
Thanks in advance for your help

I can't remember exactly when the update came through, but it was definitely in the last two weeks, so after 6th June. Root went without any hitch.

Your welcome. I wouldn't bother disabling OTA if you are running a stock ROM. If an update comes then just try uninstalling the root app, run the update then root again. Then you can stay updated.

Thanks!. Its working on my S4 Active. After rooting I install Supersu an he ask me if i want to disable KNOX. i Cancel it an su its working good.
S4 Active not working
Hey,
My S4 Active GT-I9295 [4.4.2] could not be "towelroot"ed. I get "This phone isn't currently supported". I also tried the Samsung modstring. No success. :crying:

Any AT&T users take this update? I don't think I am because I enjoy root too much. I assume this will kill the towelroot exploit.

I'm with you. Not going to apply it. Can't seem to get rid of the "software update is available" notification.... Any tricks for this?

Seems it attempted to install itself last night when plugged in. It failed, said I was rooted *gasp* and now the notification is gone Hurrah!

The only thing that I know of is that it will not update if the battery is low. LOL. Other than that, I do not know how to stop it as I understand updates are forced after denying them 3 times. I could be wrong.

Got the notification this morning and denied it. Froze the OTA in Titanium Backup so it didn't try and apply the update later.
I tried to update, but I got an error saying my phone was suspected of being Rooted.
has anyone un-rooted and then installed the update and then rooted it again?
*********ALSO********** Could someone upload the new APN Settings ? either in this thread or a new one?
I'm rooted but stock and took the update fine and keep the root... Luck maybe?
Same here @yuckycool. It auto updated, but root persisted.
Auto update and kept root as well. Towelroot method everything else stock.

sdcard error. had that with my lg g2. get a new sim card and factory reset it should be fine after. sucks but thats the only way i found to fix it
So I just picked up an S6 from TMobile yesterday. While I was there, the rep told me that I should not apply the OTA that it is prompting me to install. He said it has been bricking phones and I should wait a few weeks. I am currently running LRX22G.G920TUVU1AOC9. I have rooted the phone with CF Auto root. Any input would be appreciated.
Nonsense ..Lol
Official ota do not brick phones Samsung isn't and wouldn't ever create there own firmware to destruct the device.. ota don't do that .It's what we do with rooting mods etc... that brick phones.
Take the ota I did right out of the box 2 days ago every one did It's necessary fixes some stuff No gain by not taking it

The rep said what? Official OTA going to brick your phone? Lol.
Been on G920TUVU1AOCG (the ota) since day one and it's been fine for me.
Edit: Since you rooted you'll have to just flash the firmware with odin. The stock firmware on sammobile is the build with the update anyway. You can't take official ota updates while rooted afaik.
Roger that. Installing now lol.
I Can offer the biggest tip proving To fix the battery drain u will see with taking the OTA. As mentioned the OTA sometimes make things hairy .. People have been flashing the stock Shipped firmware with Odin Starting fresh I did this and All issues with battery are gone.
Highly recommended.

@Globalrebel where are you looking for change logs?

You mean since 5.1.1 was supposed to hit the S6's "in June?"
This is getting ridiculous, we need an update from 5.0.2, the memory issues I'm dealing with even on XtreStoLite are almost unbearable
Exactly and as updates for 5.1 come out for other carriers we get updates for random att crap that are almost a month old
It's sad to say that the latest AT&T OTA patches the export for ping pong root, don't take the OTA, because you cannot downgrade the Odin fails

They know because it says on the Ping Pong Root thread not to update for anything past May 15th as the method for root has been patched
I'm curious if there are any other undocumented changes besides the 2 official changes listed earlier. It feels like a fairly big patch for a fix to an phone location and a kernel security fix.

Wow, what a crappy push out by AT&T.
In any case, what process do i need to freeze in TB to stop my phone from trying to download and/or annoying me with that pop-up when it does happen?

AT&T Software Update is the main one, but there are a few others - I don't have an AT&T ROM on mine right now to help out, but it's been posted a few times already (I think I even posted those once)
Just freeze att software update. Then it can't even run so no downloads. I got lucky I clicked on update after reading it in Android central but didn't want to install it. Postponed couple of times but somehow it automatically loaded the update process. I was like sh#t. When it booted up it said a problem updating. And then I blocked the updater. My root almost gone lol
