4.2.2 Update on root device

Hi all, I want to know, if I will get OTA update of the 4.2.2, if my device is root and the bootloader is unlock.
Thanks!

You will get OTA, but you will loose root. Bootloader will still be unlocked though.

Just use OTA Root keeper and you'll be fine

Besides root I also updated the kernel with the video tweaks from https://plus.google.com/107979589566958860409/posts/9VtBVHP67Hg
Should I restore the stock kernel now?

I am in a similar situation: rooted phone (stock rom) plus franco kernel - i want to update to 4.2.2 but not sure how to do it so i still keep the root and the custom kernel.
I have OTA root keeper installed.
Any advice would be much appreciated :good:

Uhh.... why?
The whole point of having an entire "Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting" sub-forum is to be able to post distinct threads for each issue so that no one has to wade through hundreds of unrelated posts in a single thread looking for an answer to their question.
Trying to decrease the usefulness of XDA in order to karmawhore is not cool.

I would like to know too,I'm rooted on stock ROM but with Franco kernel
Thanks in advance

Hi guys , I'm currently on Nightlies 4.1.2 JB (unlocked and rooted) and I want to install a 4.3 JB rom onto my tf300t. BUT I need to update my bootloader to 4.2 as stated by the instructions . How do I go about this? I've looked at multiple threads but cant seem to find a SOLID answer/procedure to do so.
Thank you for your time.

Been a while.

Hi there folks,
I havent messed around with rooting etc my phone in a while. I rooted last year when it was available to do so but have not updated since. Now that 5.0 is out i have a couple questions for updating ( getting tired of the ota message every day from Verizon to update) sorry if this has been answered already but just trying to get an idea on what to do. Currently, im on 4.4.2. What is the best way to update now and can i root 5.0?

Rooting an S4 GPE running Android 5.1?

Just wondering what the consensus on rooting I9505G running Android 5.1 is. Mine hasn't been rooted since it upgraded to Lollipop a long while ago, but I'm looking to re-root now. However, I can't seem to find any threads on it post the 4.4-era.
Previously, I used ChainFire's CF Auto-Root tool, but the top line of the thread now says it won't work on any Samsung phone running Android 5.1. I imagine someone out there has to have a rooted I9505G - any tips? Thanks in advance.

While this probably belongs in Q&A, you can root the stock firmware this way. I used this method to root the latest 5.1 OTA just a few days ago. Hope that helps.
