Updating With Kies Or Odin?

I still have the original stock Gingerbread ROM. If I update to stock Jellybean via Odin, will I still receive OTA updates? Or would I need to use Kies to guarantee future OTA updates?

if you update the stock rom without root.. u will still get update OTA.. it doesn't matter if u use kies or odin for that.. just keep the stock rom and do not root for OTA update

Thanks for the reply. Do I need to flash the rom version which would usually be sent OTA by my network to receive future updates? If so, which version do I need for T-Mobile (EE) UK?

Unbranded n8 with Verizon firmware update

I purchased the carrier unlocked n8 from Best buy and using it in Verizon network. After realizing wifi calling and a few of the other features I wanted wouldn't work on the stock Samsung firmware I flashed to the Verizon AQ15 firmware using princecomsy modified odin. Now I'm receiving an OTA update and not sure if I should update OTA or going through odin?

You shoud be OK with this OTA update. It shouldn't update something that's not for firmware you are currently on.
Backup first and flash OTA, if something goes wrong (always have backup if you are doing anything else except stock official upgrade). That's the rule !

(SM-N960F) : I'm on Official Pie, but via sideloading, how to return to OTA updates

I used the betas in this thread, so I of course flashed the firmware recommended this one via Odin, now I don't know if I will receive OTA updates or not? how to check for it and make sure everything is stock and normal again? should I download my country's firmware from Sammobile and flash it via Odin then wait for updates?

I think if you go to the native update settings in settings and just do a manual check that should let you know if the system works

Can't receive OTA since April

Hi. I've flashed Pie firmware via odin a few months ago just to get Pie earlier. This week, I wanted to get OTA updates so I've flashed stock firmware I've downloaded via SamFirm. I can't receive any OTA. Its on April update and still says software up to date. I've wiped data via recovery a few times; but still doesn't work. How can I get OTA to work? Knox is 0x0 and my csc is TUR/TUR/TUR. Phone came with TUR csc, too.

Does tripping Knox disable OTA updates?

I have rooted my S10+ but will restore it to stock firrmware and lock the bootloader again. After that, will I be able to update the phone via OTA?
I'm seeing conflicting information on this. Does anybody know for sure?

I don't see why not.

yes you will be able to get ota updates after flashing stock firmware.

No, just no, once knox is tripped you can't get official ota updates... But what you can do is download the firmware and flash it via odin (keep in mind to use HOME_CSC to keep your data)
