[Q] Kitkat update with pure root?

Hello together,
I have a short question.
Would it be possible to update to Kitkat when i have rooted my G2?
I would only do a root like in this discribtion: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448887
No other Rom or costum recovery.
Thanks

yes
AFAIK, root access does not prevent OTA update success, but if you have a custom recovery installed, OTA update will fail.

[Q] To root again after official update or not?

Hi
I have an I9505 which was at 4.3 by default. I used the CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar to root it and after that i updated it with odin and I9505XXUFNB8_I9505TSIFNB1_I9505XXUFNB8_HOME.tar that i got from sammobile.com .
now I don't know that after updating official rom, i'm rooted or not?!!
I flashed Trwap recovery again. I don't know that can i flash a custome rom now with it or i have to root again? if YES, the CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar will work again with android 4.4.2 or not?
thanks

There is an app called Root Checker which does what the name says. Usuallly, you can preserve root while upgrading if you got SuperSU Pro and have "Survival Mode" enabled.

You don't need to root for flashing a custom rom. You can just flash from the recovery.

Thanks
I flashed a new rom

[Q] S5 official update to rooted device with official rom

Hi,
On my S5 (SM-G900FQ) , there is original Samsung ROM (4.4.2) , rooted but with default Recovery.
I want to update to new official rom (Lolipop) and then re-root.
What is the most easiest and convenient way to achieve this ?
I can update to Lolipop rom through Odin. But then how can I get back root easily ? (without installing CWM if possible)
If I have to install CWM, which version should I use ?
Thanks.

I'd appreciate any help. There are lots of threads talking about root'ing but I couldn't find the one which works for Lolipop official ROM.

Stock rom on rooted note4 n910c

Hi there
First of all i dont know if i write in right section. If not sorry for that and sorry for my english.
I have a cf-autoroot rooted stock rom using 6.0.1 n910c. And twrp installed.
My first question is if i want to install stock rom would that be safe or would i need to clear data(full wipe) first?
I think it can be flashed through odin and it will unroot my phone? Would twrp be a problem or when i flash stock rom my recovery will be stock recovery?
And my last question is would flashing a stock rom bring back my deleted bloatware.
Thanks.

Anyone?
