Has anyone tried to Flash an OTA update using Flashfire?
Like...to flash OTA and have root?
I'm not sure if it's possible. Can someone try for me please?
Anyone would try to play with fire
I think that it is impossible because in the changelog of updates they wrote that you mustn't been rooted if you want to update the ROM

If i am right, FlashFire Temporaly unroots the rom and after the OTA update, FlashFire roots it again.
Right?

Hi, I am on TF101 .21 at the moment, rooted, custom kernel, OTA rootkeeper installed.
I wonder is that safe to update .24 using the official firmware update? Will I lost my root or custom kernel?
Or do I have to download the file on this page and flash it?

Download the file at the link. Since you are running a custom kernel I am going to assume you have a custom recovery installed which won't allow you to properly flash the OTA, and by that I mean it will just error out.
1-Use OTA rootkeeper to verify that root is saved
2-Update with .24
3-After upgrade, use OTA rootkeeper to restore root

He has a custom recovery therefore doing it this way will just result in failure, please just do it how I said, I did it that way and had no trouble what so ever.

Thanks, I downloaded from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1627301, no kernel version and I flash that zip file from CWM upgrade to .24.
I use rootkeeper to restore my root, everything works well. Thanks guys
That's what I did and it worked
Glad to hear OP, don't forget to chime in on the SOD/RR thread after a couple days and let us know how the new update is working for you.
Finally... i made it WORKS
Thats the way i ROOT my 14.6.A.0.368 firmware with LOCKED bootloader.
1. Installed KingRoot V4.6.0 128 and rooted with it
2. Installed Super-Sume Pro v9.1.9 and this program replaced KingRoot with SuperSU
3. Downloaded Z1C-lockeddualrecovery2.8.22-RELEASE.flashable.zip <- This is not mistake, you need FLASHABLE version... yes i know you don't have active recovery to flash it.
4. Install Flashfire from http://flashfireapk.com/ and flash the recovery zip with it...
5. Enjoy
P.s. may be you will need RIC Disabler/Killer also... i have installed it before, but doesn't noticed it do something
Please thank or just write something to approve this works for you
OLD: "Hello there. After update with Sony PC Companion i have lost my root access. Today KingRoot rooted my phone again... now it time to install dual recovery and back to SuperSU.
Cheers
UPDATE: I have replaced KingRoot SU app with help of Super-Sume Pro v9.1.9 and now i have SuperSU installed and working fine, but... still can't use Z1C-lockeddualrecovery2.8.22-RELEASE.installer or XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.8.22-RELEASE.installer. They installed fine, but after reboot phone show RED light WITHOUT vibration and no matter i press UP or DOWN i can't enter recovery and boots android."

What version? Do you have a link? So far, I haven't heard of Kingroot working on 5.1. Also, do you know if 'kingroot to SuperSU' script works with it?

If you are rooted you cannot OTA update. You can update via PC Companion without losing anything (I'm not quite sure though) than root with Kingroot.

Yes, ota doesn't work. Thanks for your reply.
But then i was telling myself to risk a bit and folowing the tutorial that i was using from updating from 14.5.A.0.270 to 14.6A.0.368 and it works without loosing any data.
I've just followed your steps and rooted my Z1C with stock 14.6.A.1.216. Everything works like a charm. Many thanks @OdhinnBG and @dulehak
How can i update from 216 to 236 without loosing root?
Just install prerooted via recovery

See the end of this post for possible supersume alternatives. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65004634&postcount=2
mine work on .236 (using KingRoot v4.8.1)
but the problem is, Super-Sume stuck on first stage "Processing, please wait.."
any idea?
I own the 6GB Ram version of the phone and wants to root it so as to use Titanium backup to restore all the contents of my previous phone.
But the Problem is that we are still going to get some big OTA updates regarding camera and maybe more bug fixes.
I know the general procedure for rooting the device i.e. first unlock the bootloader then install a custom recovery then root.
I just wanted to ask if I just install back the stock recovery after rooting the device then will I get the Ota updates?
And I am sorry if any similar question has already been asked, I searched but didn't find any. Thanks

i assume you know how to get root ? unlock bootloader, flash twrp, install magisk or supersu ?
well from there its just the same.
getting ota updates see attachment.
after the update you are back to stock recovery without data lost.
so just flash twrp again and install root again, thats all.

Are you on Marshmallow right now? If yes, you need to go to lolipop, root the phone, unlock the bootloader, flash stock Marshmallow through TWRP and flash a root package like SuperSU.

Now, you can install TWRP app from Playstore and download the latest twrp-3.1.1-0-c70n.img available for us. Then, download Flashify app and flash that .img downloaded.
Thus, you'll have a TWRP installed on your phone, from wich you'll able to flash wathever you want.
I did everything but after flashing v20b and supersu v2.78 i just lost root :/ why ?
but i rooted my phone by kingoroot cuz when i rooted it on kingroot than twrp always leave a message "fail flash"

In order to root your device, you need to flash TWRP .
Future ASUS firmware will be posted on ASUS website & you need to install the new update via STOCK RECOVERY

You need stock bootloader to install OTA updates [RECOMMENDED]
(I found a thread to flash OTA's using TWRP by flashing no-verity but I am not sure that it will work on TWRP 3.2.1)
I am not really sure about the Magisk Manager (I'm still new to Magisk)

When the new update released just flash it via twrp and reflash magisk, anything will okay. And the option patch boot.img it really not work since the oreo rom, you will get error while patching boot and installing module magisk.
Which unlock tool did you use?
The nougat one unlocked oreo too? Great!!!!

I used tool for nougat from Asus website. So what is The best way for root this phone and make future updates?
I would like to finally know how it is with these updates. Unlocked the bootloader with the official application I would like to be able to upload updates. If I download TWRP and root my phone, I will be able to upload updates from Asus (the whole software file). Will the phone detect this file and update the system as it used to do? Will I have to upload it via TWRP? If by TWRP is how to do it step by step? dm-verity file needed? Is it possible to root my phone without uploading TWRP? Patching the boot.img oreo file with the Magisk manager does not work. Or give up magisk and upload supersu? Could anyone write instructions on how to proceed to root and upload system updates as they will be released by the manufacturer in the future? There are no step by step solution on this forum that can help me finally understand my problem and doubts

As you officially unlocked the BL, you will not get the ota notification in the future but you can download the full firmware zip from asus website and flash it normally ( you should be on the full stock recovery and boot to flash the ota or the firmware zip and remove magisk before flashing then re-flash it again after the update ). When you rooted your phone and don't have the stock recovery and boot images needed for flashing the updates, you can flash the RAW firmware and you will getback to full stock again without losing your data.

so one person says that I can install updates via twrp and then magisk or no-verity zip and the second one says that I must have stock fw in order to update .... so how exactly is that?
Can i flash updates from asus website for e.g UL-ASUS_Z017D_1-WW-15.0410.1801.40-user with TWRP then flash magisk? or no-verity? to boot my device normally and everything working?

if you want to use stock recovery, you don't need magisk or the no-verity file. If you want to use twrp, because it works for the 100th time, you will need either.
Ktl20, you will not brick your phone trying either method, so why don't you experiment and find out for yourself, that's the best way to learn.

Have you tried that yet. I have done it too many time to know exact it would be. And i agree with your opinion that flash raw file is the safest way but my way is not too bad to make it trouble.
