Dear all,
What is the best way to root S7 edge with stock software but without affecting future OTA updates?
Don't root
Not possible. Choose one. Root or OTA.

Hi,
I rooted Note 3 with towelroot recently and my knox is still 0 and would like to keep it that way. Would also like to keep all my settings and apps if possible too. I haven't flashed any roms or anything like that. Only thing I've done is grant some of my apps root access and downloaded an app that required root (which since then I've uninstalled). Now however I see a new firmware update is available for my Note 3 and would like to update to it. I'm sorta new to the Android scene, so don't know where to start to do this, so would appreciate any guidance.
Is there also anything I should do while on root before I unroot?
Thanks
@XLAAX you dont need to unroot to upgrade firmware. Use odin method to upgrade it.
You will find it on sammobile

So what will happen when I unroot using this? Will the phone be unrooted again or will it keep root? Also will knox be tripped using this method?

Do you want to unroot or do you want to upgrade firmware?

Hmm, I was under the impression that you need to unroot your phone to upgrade the firmware. If this isnt the case, then no real need to unroot I suppose.
What about Android L? Will I need to unroot for that? (Realise you can't predict such a thing, but has there ever been a case where you needed to unroot for an android firmware?)
EDIT: Oh and for future knowledge, how should I handle OTA updates? Should I not update that way if I'm rooted?

I dont know about towel root I used cf auto root and I upgraded to 4.4.2 after rooting.
But I am sure there is no need to unroot in any case.
Android L ia not yet been out for note 3.

I used towelroot to root my new galaxy s5, and then I accidentally downloaded the new Tmobile security update and now I no longer have root access on my phone. How can I fix this? By uninstalling the update somehow or rooting in a different way? My model is SM-G900T.

Hi Guys!
So I have a rooted GS5 running MM 6.0.1 on jrkruse's BS FREE ROM. My android security patch level is June 1, 2016. Is there any way to flash these security updates without loosing root and whatnot? If so, where can I find them?
Thanks!

If Oreo OTA update is installed. Any chance of a rooting option similar to the now successful PartCyborg procedure for Nougat?

Not until there is a factory rom for Oreo. There isn't one yet
