Yeah, I followed that thread I posted earlier to return to pure stock MJE via Odin, then re-rooted with Kingo 1.6, then set SuperSU as stated before, and everything went great for me when doing the OTA at that point,

I just wanted to report back and say everything went great and I am now on NC4 with root! Yay! Just for the record, in SuperSU I had set SuperSU to DISABLED, then set the Survival Mode to ON, then set default action to DENY. Not sure if that matters, but that's what I had and it worked...

I guess I'm just a little nervous since I've never used Odin before... But if I follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2543386 ...I should be OK right? I just want to return to latest JellyBean (MJE) stock, root (with Kingo), and then update to NC4 with root intact.

Does anyone have any tips or what to look for if the update keeps failing? I had Xposed Framework installed...and I think that's the only thing that I had installed that modifies system files...but I uninstalled it's modifications from within the framework app itself, then unistalled the...

Well, I'm one of the people that only care about simple root access, so that's why I'm curious.

I've read in a couple places of people having success taking the the NC4 OTA on their stock rooted device with SU Survival Mode on and being able to keep root after the update. I was just wondering if any has tried that and if they were successful or not, thanks!

I guess I should mention that I don't want any custom ROMs or anything, I just want all stock with a few tweaks (pretty much just the DPI adjustments). My concern is that if I install Xposed and some modules, that it might some way affect any future OTA updates... Does Xposed offer a way to...

Hey all, Maybe this would be better in a different section, but I thought it might go here since it's related... I had some questions about Xposed and the Verizon Note 3 that I couldn't really find answers for: I'm interested in installing Xposed and the App Settings module (for the per-app...

I think this is a good thing to remember for all of Google's apps. Most of their apps, it seems, can be used with multiple accounts that is set within the app, independent of what the main account on the phone is. Recently had a related issue with my Hangouts activity going to the "wrong"...

As you seem to have figured out, the more research you do, the more likely you are to succeed at stuff like this. At least you were able to recover it. That being said, KingoApp is definitely the best/easiest way to root this phone.

Haha...I'm glad I'm not the only one that it takes multiple times for it to work sometimes. I think some brands of terminals are better at handling it than others. It does always work for me, too, just sometimes it takes three taps for the terminal to accept it.

WatchON has been great for me. I've been able to fully control every IR device I've come in contact with (including a 17-year-old DVD player). Can't beat it for free.

Sounds like you might have some gunk in the pen tip area. The system recognizes contact by reading the amount of pressure applied to the tip, so if something is obstructing the natural movement of the tip, that could lead to inaccurate pressure readings. I'd try using the included tip removal...

I think even less people know that the replacement pens are not all the same material. Some are more rubberized, while others are made of firmer plastic. So not only are they extra pen tips, but you can change them out if you want the pen motions to have more or less friction. The only way I...

Just got me $50, yay! Regarding the root issue, using SuperSU on both my rooted Note 2 and rooted Note 3, all I had to do was go into SuperSU settings, turn off SuperSU and set it to Deny all requests immediately, and just by doing that (takes 2 seconds) I was able to download, activate, and...
