hi. i have rooted my phone. now i received notification that update is available but after download it does not update because it says it is rooted.
i uninstalled root with super su but is still does not install
is there anyway to install updates without having to full format the phone?
Yes you can, follow this threadhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2803479.
Download KDZ and flash it with that method.
I did it like that.
You will lose root access and boot will be relocked in the process.

usually you can find that downloaded update under the /CacheFolder....
if by any chance you open that folder and you see nothing, then good.. that means the download OTA update was not successfuly saved to your phone. Just erase that folder and you should be good after that. (use Root Explorer to really view the file inside the folder).
Regarding stopping the popup updates, you can stop that by using a tasker app that force stop the 'Software update' process (from always popping on your phone.) Or the alternate way also would be to use Titanium backup and freeze the 'Software update' process.
Cheers!
you keep root in almost all ota cases

There is nothing to worry about root. You will retain root. Howevr if you get partial root after OTA update just download busybox from market and install it.
You can always avoid reminders about OTA using Titanium Backup. Select the OTA and freeze it. Gone for life till you have Titanium Backup installed. lol
Cheers!!!
First of all, I am rooted and S-On. Although, with my problem, I am essentially unrooted as superSU will not flash via TWRP. I get 'Unable to open zip file'. It isn't a problem with the zip as the MD5 is okay. When I try to open the superSU app, I get 'The SU binary needs to be updated' and it pretty much renders it useless as no apps can get root access until I update.
I am new to HTC devices but from what I understand, S-On shouldn't affect this right? I'm just not sure what could be causing it. Thanks

Hello,
I just got a Note 3 from ATT. I tried rooting the phone using the Kingo program, but each time the root fails with the message: "FAILED.. NOT SUPPORTED"
Has anyone experienced this? What can i do?
I am reading about the Root de la Vega, but I am afraid I am on MJ5 firmware, so I am not sure whether it is advisable to use it.
Are there other reversible rooting methods (ie, without tripping KNOX)?
cheers, MN

I know when I did my phone it said failed. Did it two more times. Still said failed. The last time the phone had a disclaimer pop up, and the phone was rooted. So don't know how it worked but it worked. phone is rooted.
I was on mj5 and it worked fine. At the end of root it'll tell you failed if you don't grant it super user for a test but I didn't see any reason to allow it. Checked and I was rooted.

Thanks. I finally got it to work, by de-selecting (unchecking) the "developer option" that asks to "Verify apps via USB". Once I unchecked it, the process went succeeded. I guess this options was somehow preventing the super-user access. Anyhow, it worked, and I went ahead and rooted by wife's also.
Thanks for your responses - MN

I think I read somewhere that if the device has KitKat ... it will not root at all and at this time Kingo does not support kitkat for the GS Note 3
Gn3 on mj5
I have the GN3 on att
Rooted on mj5 using kingo worked fine
Unrooted using kingo.
Rooted again using kingo , still on mj5
Safestrap wiped data and cache, forgot to install rom.
Flashed stock MJ5 via Odin, phone boots fine. Flashed sec_csc.zip to fix the pen input error.
Performed several factory resets from device
No sim installed
USB debugging on
Unknown scources on
Verify apps off
USB verify apps off
Kingo root FAILS every time - (error notsupport)
What am I missing?
Which version of Kingo are you using? Did you flash the 28whatever.zip file after flashing the CSC file?
Try deleting the drivers and allowing them to reinstall

My option to uncheck Verify apps via debugger is greyed out an won't let me don anything with it. It does show up as uncheck, also the same in security. What should I try next?
Kingo root failed
Kingo root failed after remaining in the state of "Rooting" for a long time.
Mobile : Huawei HOL-U19.
Please help !!!
Kingo does not root kitkat you'll have to use towelroot.com. it works on the latest att update and most phones with kernel date July 2014 on down.

Hello,
i bought an XT894 from USA, it is coming with 4.0.4 ICS installed. I would like to install cyanogenmod, but i saw the guide and it is for 4.1.2.

I tried to root it using "ics404root" and it says that phone is rooted, but root checker says "Sorry! the device does not have proper root access.". What should i do? If the phone is not rooted i can't install safestrap

After a while, I finaly could get root acces to my S5 g900a with base band NG3. Im trying to launch SuperSU and it says me to update binary code or number, something like that. When Is updating it, the app ask me for disable Samsung KNOX. After hitting "OK" it says me that it was impossible to disable.
I think thats why i cant use FlashFire to upgrade to Lollipop with an OTA. Can someone tell me how to do all of this? Thanx

I used titanium backup and uninstalled everything related to Knox without any issues, then I used flash fire to update to the pre rooted 5.0
