On my Transformer tablet, I can root, and use Voodoo OTA rootkeeper to update via OTA and maintain root on the stock firmware + root.
Is this possible with the HTC One? From the FAQ, it appears as if I'll have to manually flash for every OTA if I want root.
Thanks!
I've searched and researched. I'm not finding a matching thread/procedure for my situation. I've never rooted before so I wanted to make sure I was following the right procedure. Thanks in advance for any help.
I'm currently running stock recently updated AT&T 5.0 N900AUCUEOC2. I don't care if I remove stock apps and I'd prefer not to trip odin if possible. Backups of all my files have already been done manually and I'm ready for a reset/wipe.
Is it safe for me to follow the procedure for oc1 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/general/update-procedure-lollipop-5-0-oc1-t3063760?
What is the difference between wipe and non-wipe tars?
Will it force OTA update to OC2 after I do root procedure for OC1? Will OC2 be rooted afterwards?
Is someone working on a procedure for OC2?
I've had the same problem and haven't been able to root. Someone should try to work on this I'm sure we're not the only ones
Ditto, Att note 3 running oc2. I've tried odin and a few one click programs with no luck.
Have anyone found a way to root OC2?
There are many posts explaining how to root. Unfortunately, I don't think It can be done while on lollipop. None of the popular root tools work on lollipop (kingoroot/towelroot). You have to odin back to NC2 (Kitkat), Root, install safestrap and busybox, then you can install OC2 in safestrap via a pre-rooted OC2 ROM or backup.

Hitmizzle, you summarized very well :good: - I also spent days trying to find a root method on OC2 but to no avail. Eventually I ended up restoring to NC2, rooted, then installed a pre-rooted OC2 as you described. I think the admin should bookmark your post so as to save much time for other people.
OC2 OTA
I'm running OC1 rooted and got a notification for an update which I assume is OC2. If I take that OTA update will I lose root on my device?

Yes, assuming the update doesn't fail. If you want OC2, there's a rooted OC2 ROM update at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2703006
I remember reading somewhere it was possible to update from rooted 5.0.2 to 5.1 without tripping Knox and using Odin. How do I go about it?
There's a thread in general about it. Do step 1 and 2. You can skip the rest

I just managed to update to PA2 from OI5, and there is a root method available.
I have two questions:
Can I root my S5(AT&T) without tripping KNOX?
If I do root, can I update to the latest Marshmallow via Odin and keep root?
Can I "debrand" my S5 by flashing a stock S5 firmware via Odin (remove AT&T bloatware and bootlogo)? {http://www.naldotech.com/remove-carrier-branding-galaxy-s5-debranded-firmware/ this link says you can but does not provide a download link}
Thanks.

You can root on OI5 (which means you would have to downgrade). As of now we can't get root on MM in ANY WAY. But, the root for LP doesn't trip Knox.
Refer to my guide in the General section for rooting instructions.
You can't flash a ROM like that with ODIN due to the locked bootloader. You would have to flash using FlashFire.
...subject says it all. I want to flash nougat onto my Tab S2 8.0 (SM-T719), with flashfire to keep root. Where do i get the OTA as download?
I got mine from here
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-tab-s2-80/SM-T719/
That one I know... arent those the full flash images? I am looking for OTAs to flash with flashfire w/o loosing root... and on the same thought: for the S6 Edge, too.
