best way is to use mobile odin to flash stock firmwares and keep the ever root option when flashing

So does that mean i shouldn't use the Samsung updates our is that just you're preferred method?

if you use the samsung updater you are more likely to lose root access

Ok thanks

How do I safely update firmware?

I'm currently on MI9 and think I want to update to MJ5 for safestrapping in the future. I can't find the firmware anywhere. Please help, I'm really lost.
1. What are the benefits of updating?
2. Is there any benefit of staying on my current firmware?
3. How would I go from rooted MI9 to MJ5?

You can use safestrap on MI9. I'm on it and safestrap works fine.

Can't find OTA update

Hi! I've been trying to download the OTA update on my phone but it stays on:
"Checking for available update.
Please wait..."
Anyone knows why? My phone is rooted by the way and bootloder is unlocked. Please help.

When the device is rooted and is running stock ROM, the OTA updates are not working properly on most devices. For example, in my Galaxy Y, when I tried to install a new firmware it stopped during the installation and rebooted on the old firmware. Then it displayed the known s*** like "The installation was not succesfull. Please try installing the firmware using Kies".
Otherwise, if your device is running a Custom ROM, you can update to the newest version without a problem.

Ok. Thanks for answering. What if I unroot the device? Is it possible the update works if I unroot the device?

If you unroot your device, you will be able to install a new firmware on it. Are you using stock or custom ROM?

I'm using stock ROM.

OK then. The solution is on the post 5. Unroot the device, install the new firmware and you can root the phone again if you want.

To my knowledge only kingo and vroot worked on 4.3 and they were the same just different websites

So I haven't been following XDA lately or system updates. My phone is currently rooted with xposed running. I am thinking about updating the software, but I need to know how I can upgrade to the fullest while keeping my root. Thanks
