Exactly! I see posts about using odin to install pit file but I have no idea what that means.
I haven't tried as I'm waiting on Beans to incorporate this new update in his Build 5 rom. Make sure you have all of the bloat ware that was pre installed or the OTA won't update. I tried updating with earlier OTA updates and forgot to unfreeze the bloat ware so it didn't work.
Take a sec and hit thanks if I helped or if you're in a good mood!
I tried. I used survival mode and un froze everything I had froze. It error ed. Gonna have to wait or see if anyone un roots, updates, and then re roots. I'd go the rom root but the stock is working fine for me. I just like root access and want the up to date software.

I unrooted with mj7 tar file with Odin and used Mingo to root and it worked like a charm.
LOL, I don't know about "loving it" but it does work just fine for me.
I was running Beans etc. on mi9. The OTA failed repeatedly, so I finally gave up & flashed the odin tar of mj7 which made the phone like it was brand new right out of the box..
At that point, the OTA completed successfully. That left me without root or safestrap however, so I did the kingo root, reinstalled safestrap and installed the paid Pro version of SuperSU.
At that point, I flashed Beans v4 ROM in the stock ROM slot after doing a complete wipe in safestrap recovery.
Now, the system runs absolutely perfectly. I have not had a single problem of any kind. The system absolutely flies, no lag whatever and not a single FC or freeze up. I have a custom theme installed and quite a few system UI changes with Xposed/ Wanam etc.etc.etc.
I was on MJ7 rooted by kingo.
Here is what I did.
Backup apps
When to my stock rom
Uninstalled safestrap
Unrooted with kingo (must be on stock rom slot as I found out)
Then took the ota and it failed.
So I downloaded new odin
Downloaded MJ7 tar file.
Flashed that and did not loose any data on my phone.
Then I took the OTA
(Now successfully on MJE)
Wifi wasn't connecting
Rerooted with kingo.
Installed safestrap
Booted back into my rom slot for clean rom. Wifi now works.
Downloaded new clean rom 1.5
And clean flashes.
Restored apps.
Everything works flawless here.
Amazing battery.
No you do not need to take the OTA.
If your phone works fine the way it is then why change it.
It is only worth it if you plan on staying with the latest builds here on XDA.
I assume hyperdrive will follow up shortly to MJE.
Beans will have one out any day now.
And clean rom works amazing for me.

I for one am loving it. I got this phone through my job and put my t-mobile sim in it and was happy on H+ with it, but this update has now allowed a true 4GLTE connection with my tmobile sim. using the same APN settings as before. Sweet.
I'm currently on mj7 rooted with safe strap. I think I'm going to try to find a cheap Windows laptop of some sort since Mac is all I have. I have frozen the system update in tibu for now. Should I get a Chrome book? Will probably only use it to tweak my android devices. Thanks

I got ambitious and tried to take the update. Previously used Odin to flash to MJ7 and rooted with vroot(Kingo did not work). I booted to recovery switched to stock slot rebooted and tried to take the update, It failed, so I went back to recovery, did a factory reset and rebooted. No success in taking the update. Any suggestions as to what I should do next?
Well, here's what I did. I'm just rooted, stock recovery. Rooted back on MI9 with de la vega. No safestrap, etc
Unfroze all frozen apps with TBU
I went to Safe Mode on Super SU
Disabled Super SU
Took the update
Reenabled Super SU
Unchecked Safe Mode
Updated Binaries
Used a root checker to recheck root
Froze apps again
