[Q] How to enable rooted Note Pro to update?

[tomic888]

Hello,

I rooted my Note Pro 12.2 and now it won't update, says: Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available.

How can I update it? Should I install Xposed Framework?

If you don't have xposed framework installed, wiping cache from stock recovery might help. Or try to update using Kies 3, not via OTA.
But remember, you might lose root, and if you got Knox 0x0 still, there might be no way to root again without triggering KNOX flag, if samsung pushes some patched kernel update and you install it.

+1 to what Spere said.

I root every android device that I own and my #1 rule is never actively look for OTA updates after rooting. There's too much risk of problems. If updates come out, wait for factory images of the update to be posted and let more experienced users or developers test things first.

Root + OTA = a really, really bad idea. The first rule of Rooting, after 'RTFM', is 'DO NOT INSTALL OTA UPDATES.'

Note Pro 12.2 P900 rooted with stock rom

Guys, thanks for all the info you provide here. I'm a long time follower, first time poster and need some help.

I've recently rooted my new note pro 12.2 model P900 using chainfire's autoroot. I used ODIN and the image provided in chainfires zip file... root was successful. I did not flash a new ROM nor do I want one. I am probably in the minority, but all I wanted was root just to delete the bloatware. I am not interested in customs mods or ROMs. I want to stay on stock Samsung firmware, just minus bloat. I'm an operating system purist... I feel more comfortable with the stock/official op system.

I tripped knox, but I suppose I don't care. Would be great if eventually it can be reset one day. But whatever

I know you guys have said root + OTA update is a bad idea.... apparent I won't be able to do it anyway. I get that error message when I check for an OTA update from Samsung saying my device has been modified.

My question is how can I get the USA version of the current stock firmware and then the future versions of any updates FROM A TRUSTED SOURCE? Doesn't seem like I can get it from Samsung anymore . I'm afraid that if I just download a 1.5gb zip file from some fileserver on the Web I may get something that's not quite legit.

Also, is it because I am rooted, or because I tripped knox, or because I deleted stock apps that I get that message during the OTA check I tried to run?

Thank you!

Both http://www.sammobile.com/ and http://samsung-updates.com/ are reliable sources. I haven't checked if they actually have the firmware, though.

If you have changed the recovery or the structure of the system (for example removed syatem apps) the OTA will fail.

If you flash the stock recovery and reset or reflash a stock rom the OTA will complete and you will lose root
