What happens if I root my device running stock ROM and then I update with OTA update? Do I lose root? Does it applies to Xposed and its modules?
Which device?

OK so my first g2 got stolen, I filed a claim and the g2 shipped to my already has the KitKat update. I know that there isn't a root method for it yet so my question is can I downgrade using the method in the development then root with the method already known? Or do I have to just wait till a method is found for KitKat?

I've looked at that. It requires you to be on the last firmware and I'm on KitKat.

it has step by step to go back to stock 4.2, root, get recovery and flash like I said currently that is the only way for any device to keep recovery on kk(most devices with official kk and sources have got a specific rom to do so)

Settings, about, software updates I guess I always download and fastboot lol
I've been using #9 in the root guide.

But I've been told that FlashFire works better so I'm going to give that a shot next month.

Thanks for the link. Question, looks like my phone downloaded the update and it says ready to install. What happens if I say "install"?

Thanks, worked great!
I have a 2015 16GB version that's running stock rooted ROM. I've never had issue with OTA upgrades in the past but 6.2 doesn't install.
It goes through the process but doesn't seem to upgrade because it keeps prompting me to upgrade.
I believe that the issue is because of root. So I would like to know if there is an easier way of unrooting and getting OTA instead of going completely back to stock?

Is there a radio / baseband update for this phone?
What is the newest version out?
Thx in advance.
Sent from my PH-1 using Tapatalk
Any baseband, radio, or modem update will be included in the monthly updates and they did make changes in February for sure. Unsure if the following updates also included updates.

I'm trying to find a guide on how or where the modem file is and how to flash it... I'm rooted with twrp however, I don't see a guide or thread on update Radios / modem.

It should have upgraded when you flashed April stock? Flash the latest from here using the flash all .bat and you'll be good.
