So I finally figured out how to root the AT&T Galaxy Note I467. I did it twice, the first time I did it, then manually updated to latest firmware which lead to losing the root. So I did it a second time and an update popped on my screen which I delayed. What happened overnight is that it automatically updated itself anyways and now I lost the root, has anyone experienced this or figured out a way to avoid new updates? My new plan is to buy the super su pro so after I re-root it I will be able to safely update to the newest firmware and not lose my root. Just something I wanted to bring up.

If you use SU Pro and keep persistent root it will keep it. Check the main i467 root thread for details.

Yesterday I received a message from Tmobile that there is a new software update for my phone. I was at work and did not want to bother with it so I tried to say not to the update and the only option is to postpone for a maximum of 1 day. To get out of the message I selected the home key. I keep getting the reminder every 4 hours and the message will not go away from notifications drop down screen.
Tmobile seems very eager to push this update out, I rooted my phone about a month ago so I could use the tethering feature when I'm on call without the extra expense, also used Titanium to freeze the bloatware apps as well. Will this software update affect or undo my root access? Does anyone know if the update is good or bad?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Yes you will lose root but it can be rooted easily using the same method. This question has been answered over and over try searching a bit.

Thank you for the information I did see threads on the subject but they were on older software updates.I did not run across one that talked about this latest update, I did not know if there was something different or if the the new update made it difficult to re-root. Some updates may only be beneficial to Tmobile and not the end user. Does anyone have the specifics on the update? Pros and Cons?
I'd like to know if the update is worth it as well.
My phone is currently rooted but I was not the one who did it so I'm afraid to lose root because I wouldn't know how to re-root it.
Is there a way to update without losing root?
I went ahead and updated my phone and it did not undo root. It is a software update that will allow u to upgrade to ICS.

You sure about that? If updating to the UVLDE 2.3.6 GB via OTA, I am pretty sure you lost root. You probably still have the super user app installed, but that in and of itself does not ensure root. Try using a app that requires root access such as Titanium Backup.
Hi folks. Just got the Optimus G for my Sprint plan. I immediately rooted the phone, and within 24 hours of getting it it now wants to apply an update ZV7_to_ZV8_EMR1_inc. I'm afraid to do so because I don't want to end up with the phone unrooted and locked down (I will never again buy an unrootable phone). Has anyone else done this update, and if so did it affect your root status or ability to re-root afterwards? Thanks!

You should be fine. Its just bug fixes. If not, I can tell you how to roll back.

I installed the update and then rooted my phone without issues.
I was curious too. Here's the response from other members

Update applied & unrooted, re-rooted ok
Thanks all for the replies and sorry for the duplicate thread, I promise I did look first before posting and didn't see it. Anyway as the other thread stated, the update removed root access but I was able to re-root fine.
Hello, this is my first android device, so I'm not too experienced with the whole rooting thing. My device is currently rooted with the original firmware that came on it. (Galaxy Tab S 10.5) not quite sure which version is on here or even where to find out. I tried to do an over the air update and it wouldn't let me because the device is rooted, but apparently there is a new firmware version out, so I definitely want to get on that.
How do I go about getting the latest firmware installed and getting my device rooted again?
Thanks!
How you rooted it the first time, just repeat the steps again.
Well to get an OTA as far as I know you will need to un-root and try the update, BUT if you rooted with Chainfire method probably is gona fail, because that method trips knox, and the update is going to fail.
If for whatever reason you can update, you might loose root and maybe the exploit that worked with your current build this time is not going to work.
To find out what build you have, go to settings>>>general>>about device and there it's
That's why once you root you have to block or deny the updates until the people here with more knowledge report that it's safe.

The build number says:
KOT49H.T800XXU1ANF8
I haven't tried it for marks but auto update via Kies should work. Even if rooted. Does not affect root. And does not factory reset. i. e. you get same effect as OTA.

can anyone confirm this?
I'm just wondering if it's safe to rollback the firmware on my Galaxy Tab S 10.5" to the previous one or if it causes some sort of conflict.
I want to do so because I've just installed the most recent one (T800ODD1ANK1 - India) and I can't root it using Cf-Autoroot posted here.
Thanks!
What happens when you try to root it?

Nothing. I did it with Odin and it just reboots to the same old unrooted tablet. All is working fine as usual, but no root.
What botters me the most is that I had Xposed framework installed but now it has no functionality and all the modules I had installed don't work. I would install the previous firmware but I'm afraid of breaking something, with installing older software on top of newer one.
I was able to root the US version of that ROM (T800XXU1ANK1) using CF Auto Root from Chainfire:
http://download.chainfire.eu/473/CF...uto-Root-chagallwifi-chagallwifixx-smt800.zip
Perhaps give that a shot???
I will but the India version has a more recent changelist (which was the reason why I chose to install it).
Thanks in advance.
As I predicted, since the changelist is different (your version has the same as the older one I had, with functioning root, but not with this one), no root.
Does anyone know if it is safe to install a previous version of the software? Like, for example, Cellular South ANK1 (with an older changelist).
Thanks.

I'm having the same issue as the original poster. It says I am rooted, but I'm not because root checker just keeps spinning and there isn't a SU# icon in my apps. I've done this with Odin about a million times before, for some reason on my new T800 (after I updated the software), it doesn't work.
Am I missing a step because I have the same version you have? Extract the file. Load the md5 file into AP. Hit Start. Wait for it to reboot. Right?
Yea root isn't working for me with T800XXU1ANK1. =(
Im assuming you ran Super SU and updated the binaries or whatever it asks, or updated the app in playstore?
Ive done nothing different and root works fine.
I was thinking about another root alternative. I was thinking about downloading the supersu zip and save it to the device or sd card. Then flash twrp recovery with odin, then boot into recovery and flash the supersu zip to get root? Could that work as an alternative since it flashes root in the process?
I just rolled back to T800XXU1ANJ6 and I am rooted.
I just bought a Tab S, and I can't seem to find an answer to a question that relates to this thread. Is there any advantage to updating before rooting?
I can't decide if I should root it now or update the software, and then root. After searching some, it appears that it doesn't matter whether I upgrade or not, but I can't seem to find if there is any advantage to updating it then rooting. Like, is it easier to get the latest firmware that way?

If i am correct, There should be stock custom roms available that are prerooted so you can flash over. As for an ota update, that is faster than being rooted then flashing lollipop rom.
Anyway we have a lollipop rom already built. Its smooth and most things are working. Its really cool and id rather use this than waiting for samsung to get the latest update out. Do you have the 10.5 in or 8.4 inch?

I have the wifi 10.5 inch.
So, you are saying update OTA then root, unless I want to jump to Lollipop (which I do), which in that case it doesn't matter so I should just root and flash a lollipop rom?
Thanks for helping me out.

Up to you If you want to jump to lollipop/CM12, just run flash Cfautoroot( with odin to root) then install twrp and flash the lollipop rom. There is a thread for cm12/lollipop in the development tab s section.
But wait! Rooting trips knox with voids your warranty. Same users has reported getting service from samsung for free of charge from defective units and some had to pay to get defective parts replaced by samsung. 50/50 chance. I took the risk and havent got a hardbrick or anything yet.

Thank you for the heads-up. I've rooted all 6 of my android phones that I've had, so I'm not too worried about voiding the watrranty. Judging by your reply it sounds like there are a lot of lemons out there for this device. Mine seems to be running okay, but I just can't take all the lag that I assume comes from TW and bloatware. My HTC One M8 with Lollipop seems faster and smoother than my Tab S at stock. Although after typing the last sentence, I put Nova on there and sped up all the animations and it is definitely light years faster than my One M8 now.
I think the answer to the original post is that the Su binary was installed, but the op didn't download then update Super su after rooting. You wont get full root until you do as there is no app to handle root requests.
I used the KINGOROOT technique to root my SM-T800. I had to downgrade to firmware T800XXU1ANF8_T800XAR1ANF6_XAR (ANF8) to allow KINGOROOT to work.
The SM-T800 is now offering an OTA update. The only detail provided is "Size 39.96 MB" No clue what version it is.
Is there any way to determine what version of update would be loaded?
Would root be maintained?
I have purchased SuperSU Pro, and enabled "Survival Mode", which says it "attempts" to keep superuser access across OTA updates.
Can anyone confirm whether SuperSU Pro's "attempts" are actually successful on the SM-T800?
Once rooted you should disregard small updates.
You never know what this update will do. It could do anything from something simple to locking your bootloader. It won't be the first time people have ended up locked out of their device after an update.
If you really want to flash it, let it download then flash it with FLASHFIRE.

I wasn't thinking of the small updates - I was going jump ahead and flash the latest stock Lollipop (T800XXU1BOE2_T800XAR1BOC5_XAR) Android 5.0.2?
At this point I've got the tablet usable with KitKat - thanks for all your help!
I won't have time to mess with it for a few weeks probably, so I'll defer the Lollipop update till then.
I guess I have already let it download something, although it doesn't say what. However, it is nagging me to install the OTA update all the time. So how can I
1) Capture the downloaded update file?
2) Find out what version it is so I can decide if I want it?
3) Stop the nagging to install the update?
If you're going the whole hog then just flash Lollipop with Flashfire and you'll keep root.
