Hey, so the question is this: Can I get Official updates after rooting?
in more words:
I actually like the official rom after installing a different launcher and after hearing it'll probablly get android L and the G3 skin I wanna keep it... but the thing is I'd like to tweak it a bit... so... If I root and get Xposed and G2 Tweakbox will I still be able to get the Official Update If I don't do anything else besides rooting?
Thanks.
Up?
HI.
I really liked the idea of keeping pretty stock (ie no custom rom).. but just tweaking with root / xposed etc.
But.. doing that I now cant install firmware upgrades...
Is it possible to remove root so that ota firmware upgrades work? Have no idea as in the past I've just had custom roms..
Thanks!

One of the mods will probably move this to Q&A as its where you should be asking this question.
Anyways if your sticking with stock and rooted but want to update the firmware as they come out you simply get it via a full firmware flash from Samsung's own Kies 3 software.
Doing this however breaks your root and any apps/mods that you've installed to the system partition however you can simply just re-root and reinstall any system apps/mods you happened to have installed there.
This is not a big deal and is generally quick and painless.
Also remember that if you use a custom recovery TWRP or CWM doing a full firmware flash will restore the stock recovery and you will half to re-flash that back as well.
You wont get notifications about updates however since your rooted and OTA gone. Just keep an eye on things for your specific device and region for updates. People generally post here on XDA about the new updates when their available as well as firmware update news from Sammobile.com
You can also plug your phone into your computer with Kies3 running and it will check to see if your on the latest firmware available as a way of manually checking.
II had the same doubt. Thank you for the clear explanation.
Hi guys, i just bought a BLU STUDIO G "HD" (S170L_V13 (Lollipop 5.1) but i found nothing of how to root and/or ROM. I try Kingo and Towel with no success (uff, no brick)…
Today I try just one more time KINGOROOT and it work, SuperUser was installed and remove apps that i did not want, then install SuperSU and like always ask to update Binary, i update it successfully and restart, one's restarted remove SuperUser of Kingo and done.. I have root and SuperSU Installed with no problems at all.
Searching for the ROM after many hours found the stock ROM for this phone by William Smith (BLU Dev) https://www.mediafire.com/folder/5ge...dio_G_HD_S170L. the ROM is in .pac and you have to use SPD Upgrade Tool to installed. All the info is here https://androidmtk.com/flash-pac-sto...oid-smartphone, I have not tested but I took the risk rooting cus I found the rom so do it at you own risk.
I try to install Xposed but the phone is lollipop and x64 which is not compatible, I read some xda threads but tbh is kind of confusing for my, TMI jeje.
If someone can please tell me how to do it, how to install Xposed in Lollipop
Hey guys,
Want to wipe my phone fresh since I'm running out of space. My phone has been telling me for months that I have an update, but I haven't updated because I've been told on here never to do OTA updates.
I tried looking around for a stock rooted ROM for this like I've flashed for other versions, but I can't much if any info on the new PL1 update. Usually, someone posts a de-knoxed, rooted version of the software. Is that around or what should I do?
How should I do the update? If I download it from sammobile and flashed it, will that screw up my phone?
Edit: TBH, it's been a while since I've done this and have forgotten the right terminology. I'm not sure if my phone is "unlocked," but I have Philz Touch recovery on it, definitely rooted, and whatever else is built into those modified stock ROMs. Just want to wipe, update, and keep my functionality without bricking or something, since I need this thing working. I can't seem to find a straightforward post on here, and I'm just so busy with school I feel like I can't catch up and relearn all this stuff again.
Thanks for the help
Hi guys,
so, I rooted my phone after installing Pie, but now among other things I wont be recieving any OTA updates, whats is the simplet way to just update the phone?
From what I read here on XDA I think thats best way is to install via Odin with home_csc but my question is when my phone is rooted will it still have root or it will even boot? Did somebody of you tried this?
I will be very gratefull for any suggestions to this topic.
