My phone is rooted and I have a custom recovery installed, but I'm on stock firmware. When I search for software updates, it doesn't tell me my device has been modified, but just goes on to say I'm on the latest update (August security patch for my region).
My question is: when the September security patch arrives, will I be able to do the update without losing root or any other issues?
If your on the snapdragon note 8 u cant root and never will be able to again

Hi mate,
As long as I know:
- you wont be able to use OTA sine you did root. (strange the is not saying your device has been midified. just install root ckecker from goole play to make sure you are root)
- if you flash any originial rom via Odin, your custom kernel will be replaced with Samsung original kernel and you need to root your device again.
I hope it helps you
An update, if anyone happened to be interested. The September update for my carrier is now available. When I went to check for software update in the settings, the device finally told me the system has be modified in unauthorised ways so I can't download the update via OTA. That means I'll have to download it from Sammobile and flash via Odin and lose everything and start fresh.

If you are rooted right now you will not be able to get ota updates. The only way to update is to go through odin and update or flash a rom with the newest update or unroot your device and then update.
I'd like to answer your second question but I would like some clarification on the question.
And the update to 6.0 could be from a couple of weeks to a couple of months or even longer. It depends on you carrier and samsung of course.
The phone is the international variant 920c dual sim
I have not rooted yet but will love to do it.
If marshmalow is near them i will wait
No rooted phones of Samsung will receive OTA updates. Unroot by flashing the stock rom with ODIN and look for OTA. Or else, download latest stock firmware from samobile or similar websites and update with ODIN. Then re-root if you want.
Hi,
I've just bought another Z2 pro and have been trying to update it the latest MM version which I believe is 2.3.044 but can not find the update option in the settings.
It is still on stock with with locked bootloader.I want to update before unlocking the bootloader then on to Lineage 13.
The current ROM version is 2.1.120 with November Security patch.
Edit:
I used the SD update method but it half bricked the phone.
Then used the QPST/QFIL one.Flashed the 2.1 stock rom.Once rebooted the Update option was there. Without the need for VPN it OTA updated to 2.3...
Big thanks to this guy.

Hello
I just bought the z2 Pro and same issue, no update in the settings. I followed your steps but wondering. Is the 2.1 you downloaded international? Do you have Google apps in it? I don't want to root, just want an updatable official international rom...
Thanks!
As far as I know non of "store"multilanguage roms have an update option. In order to get it you have to flash stock (1.9) one and follows OTAs from there.
I saw the forum posting saying that the android O update is rolling out in australia and new zealand. this got me concerned because i dont believe my phone can get OTA updates. I rooted and flashed roms and went back to stock, however my bootloader says the phone is modified and google play says the phone is uncertified. is there anyway i can go back to true retail stock to guarantee that i can receive the OTA update when it rolls out in the states?
If you have flashed the correct firmware according to the country where u live u will definately get OTA updates. Many times I flashed Oct security patch updates and after booting I get notification to update my phone. It doesn't matter if bootloader is locked or unlocked , modified or official . Even if you're rooted then also you will receive notification to update but if try to update it may crash. Just make sure it's a clean unrooted official firmware.
I still have the july security patch how do i get the october one?
Hi all,
I unlocked the bootloader of my OREO X4 and flashed root - Magisk.
Today I received a February update with security fixes.
Unfrortunately, I am uncertain how safe it is to update it. Do you know of any complications, that may occur, if i update by OTA and do not flash the whole again ?
It is too much of a hassle to configure it again, honestly.
Thank for your help !
Since switching from Sprint to T-Mobile last spring with my unlocked Galaxy S10+, I've yet to get a new security update (Still says I have the latest version at April 1st)
Can I manually install the Security update without root my phone? Would it work to manually install it?
I took into a T-Mobile store and after fiddling with it for a long time they suggested calling Samsung. I didn't do that yet...
I have factory reset it but that didn't help.
Thanks in advance.
Yeah you can flash the latest firmware with the patched version of Odin. Here's the thread:
