I have a rooted s5, stock ROM just rooted to over clock and change emojis, neither of which were worth it. I have the ota alert for lolipop, I want to update, loosing root is fine. I searched about the results of doing ota I got mixed results. Will I brick if I update? Will I loose everything? If there is a thread or post about this and I'm that oblivious, please link it. All help is appreciated

Will not update. You need to remove root and get back to 100% stock firmware.

What is your software now?
You can try full unroot in super user app then ADB side load OTA updates.

Yes, can anyone answer the question? My s-off phone keeps wanting to take the OTA update and there seems to be no place to turn off automatically checking for OTA updates. How do I get it to quit trying to update?

If you have rooted 24A with a stock recovery, you can take the OTA and retain root..
Ok so I figured I'd ask here instead of making a new thread since it's sort of relevant. Hope not to thread jack. I have a vs980 rooted on 24a with stock rom and twrp. My phone tried to update to 25b yesterday and I canceled it by switching from WiFi to 4g. 2 questions I have are can I take the update and stay the same or not yet since I have twrp? And 2 it started downloading automatically, if I can't take the update is there a way to keep it from downloading again? Thanks in advance.

1) It won't install without the factory recovery.
2) You have to remove/disable/freeze the updater app to stop it from prompting you. (I don't remember the exact name of it)
So there really isn't any harm in letting it download since it won't install without factory recovery? I'll check the apps I have frozen again I thought I froze it, but maybe not. Thanks. Do you know if it's simply called system updates?
Software Update is the app name people are freezing using Titanium, don't know what the .apk is, I have a debloated rom currently. You should be able to find and rename the .apk for Software Update to stop it.
I've been using ultimate backup lite and I have a system update app I could freeze just wanted to make sure it was the right one. Tried to post a picture, but I don't have enough seniority.
is ioroot still the best rooting tool?
Also when I take 25 will I have to reinstall twrp?

My Note 3 is 4.4.2 and rooted with towelroot. I have SuperSU and Titanium Backup installed. But everything else is still stock, didn't uninstall any bloatware. No recovery installed. I already unfrozen everything by TB. However, after getting the 4.4.4 OTA, the phone went into recovery installation and restarted at 27%. After the restart, it just said the OTA installation failed. Anyone know what's going on? Thanks in advance.
Yeah, I am stuck as well. I am going to try and have it reflash at AT&T or Best Buy.

unroot with SuperSu, and deforeze all ATT bloatware and Samsung stuff (including knox), simply you need to revert it back the way it was before the root. then give a try. I don't think it is necessary to flash back firmware with odin since you just have root and frozen couple of apps.
remember, if you installed busybox and exposed, make sure uninstall them, anything that touches (busybox, exposed) system files will abort OTA upgrade.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot.
Still remember the old times, OTA would just run through anything to kill root. We had to find all kinds of ways to stop OTA from installing. Now it's other way around.
Wonder if 4.4.4 worth the trouble. Maybe should just wait for 5 to come out.

Yeah, I will give it a try. I uninstalled exposed but maybe there is a reversal process I have to do from inside the app to go back to stock.
I'll give a try with SuperSU unrooting. same issue here with 27% failed.
SuperSU unroot method no good.....
I have Best buy flashed stock Rom and experience the same problem. The Note 3 is not rooted. So there's something else not just root.

It will always fail at 27% if you are rooted. You have to open supersu and go into the settings, scroll down until you find unroot. If successful supersu will just close. Reboot and try OTA again.
Thanks. After playing with wife's note 3 with 4.4.4, really not needed for update...... We were hoping to get the speed up on our Note 3. The camera were good when we first bought the phone back in 10/2013, but the 4.4.2 update make the camera bad... slow

No problem. I find the update has brought some performance back to my note 3,but I haven't been able to test everything thoroughly. I loved the Note 3 when I first bought it, then AT&T screwed it up with the 4.4.2 update.
Another thing to remember with the failing OTA updates. The phone has to be STOCK, that includes all of the AT&T bloat as well. This isnt 100% of the fails, but this sure will cause it too
Thanks to carl1961's "Home" file I was able to install the update. Still wondering what was wrong with BestBuy flash.
I was towel rooted a while back on 4.4.2 and I removed root but mine also failed at 27% when i was trying to install 4.4.4. I even tried wiping cache and resetting the phone with no success. If you want to go the LONG way, I followed this guide, which I lost all settings and apps, but I was able to upgrade to 4.4.4 afterwards. I downloaded the 4 separate files and used ODIN that is also provided from a link in the guide to reset the phone. The ODIN options I used are in the picture titled "Odin 4 File Install" and I didn't follow any further steps after I did the 4 File install. I simply configured the phone and went to check for updates and it installed 4.4.4 successfully. Then I restored my apps and app settings manually. Like I said this is the long way and it's not guaranteed to work but it did in my case!

Hello
I can't do my 5.1 update on my rooted Nexus 6, it keeps error-ing. I'm guessing it's because I'm rooted. Thing is I can't find any way of doing the update while rooted, or unrooting, updating & rerooting without a PC, as I only have my Nexus 9 tablet (which is also rooted, though the update isn't showing on that yet).
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks

Do you have stock recovery?
Have you made any other mods other than root?
Hi RootSU. Yes, I have stock recovery. No other mods as yet.

sorry if this was already brought up.. i didn't have much time so i did some brief searching and didn't really find too much... some posts looked like you would have to wipe your phone just to root it and i was hoping that ain't the case...

Sorry this is absolutely the case, what firestorm942 didn't explicitly mention is that in order to be rooted at all on lollipop, you have to start from rooted KitKat. To see the full process see my post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63639949&postcount=2
Yes the process wipes your phone at one point and yes this the only way to be rooted on lollipop

The problem is kingroot copies all your personal data (including your IMEI) and sends it to a server in China. I recommend against it since I don't trust that for a second. Supersu is known to be safe, stable, and effective

You can accomplish it even if you've already updated to lollipop

If you're on KitKat, root with towelroot. If you're on lollipop use Odin to go back to KitKat then root with towel root, and then you can use the keep root method to update to rooted lollipop
