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 purchased my Note from Amazon.de and it came with Baseband Version: N7000XXLB2 which is a German version. I live in England so I wanted to move to a UK rom. As I could not root it by any given method, I downladed " N7000XXKKA ------ 2.3.6 2011 November------- N7000CPWKK3 -----------United Kingdom (Carphone Warehouse)" and flashed it via Odin. Than I got my root but now I can't get it updated via built in Software Update thing. My current Baseband is:N7000XXKK5. Any suggestions to get official OTA updates?
Regards
I believe because you are on latest build 2.3.6 that you won't get any OTA updates until ICS is available. I've never had one OTA update (had the phone for 6 months) and always put this down to the fact that I have manually updated many kernels and ROMs so am always on a recent one.
If you flashed the latest UK rom then you won't get any OTA updates since it's the latest rom.
Even if you get ota you should not update as you would loose root doing so.

make sure you only have root and not non stock kernel.
that stops ota as well as having different csc than the stock rom you are with. In my experience at least.
So if you dont have latest rom for your csc and do want it with functional ota then flash through Odin a pre december version that is rootable in conventional way. Then only root it. After root try Ota, it should deliver incremental upgrades. After each test root thought by updating superuser app. Tedious process but that guarantees keeping Ota and root for me at least.
All at own risk, and do the proper backups like efs if you havent done so already. pm if you need more details

Hi,
I have rooted my Galaxy Note and wonder how I can upgrade to ICS when it is out by Samsung? Can I just upgrade over the air, will it work? Or I have to wait till the official roms are posten in forums?
Thanks
If you're using a stock rom and only rooted it chances are you can just OTA or use Kies to update. If that doesn't work you can flash the official firmware for your region and update OTA or through Kies or just use Odin to flash the official firmware when it's available here on XDA, which I imagine will be very quick after it's officially released.
should be around june time and might be an ota update but you would lose root access
.
Then I shouldn't update OTA? Because I want to keep the root. If I update and lose the root then I have to downgrade the rom, root and then flash the new update?
The easiest way is to wait for the update and use odin mobile pro to update it, when the rom is available here?
Thanks for replay
For now that would be your safest bet yeah. Chances are there will be a pre-rooted ICS firmware available pretty soon, if not you should be able to everroot flash the official firmware in Mobile Odin when it's available.
dont worry about the kies or ota update. get a kernel with cwm and when ics update for note released there will be stpck and lots of custum ics roms that can be flashable with cwm
I'm using an AT&T Note 3 for T-Mobile. I believe when 4.4 first came out I did not want to update so I froze the AT&T Software Update, however I now want to update OTA from 4.3 to 4.4.4. How do I re-enable the software update OTA? I tried doing a factory reset thinking it would recover it however it didn't. Whenever I go to Settings>General>About Device and tap Software Update nothing happens. I also tried using Samsung Kies 3 to update however it says I'm not the latest firmware, 4.3. Which I believe is not???
Any help is appreciated to update from 4.3 to latest android.
Thank you!
Found the answer to my question.
Use Odin.

Easy.
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.
My phone model no is SM-G970U And sprint firmware preloaded But imei is a Verizon unlocked one. Actually It's imported from usa to Bangladesh. Now I dont get ota updates Which firmware now I will flash
I flashed Verizon firmware last month But it didn’t Work.
Is it safe to flash a stock rom of build no: SM-G970U1(XAA)?
AND IF I DO SO, WILL I GET OTA UPDATES?
Yes you can flash XAA, but you will probably not get OTA updates. Usually, carriers only provide OTA updates when they recognize the phone and it's on their carrier-ROM.
That being said, these phones are too old anyway, so they are not expected to get many updates going forward anyway. They may get a few more quarterly-updates, but not monthly and no new OS versions. For this reason, I wouldn't worry about OTA updates and if you still want updates just apply them yourself via ODIN.
