The moment you flash another firmware, your root is gone.
If the question you have is if this will work on a unlocked bootloader; the answer is yes (source: I have a VIE-L09 on unlocked bootloader - and did this this morning)
@deecept thanks! for the confimation. alot of help!

it is obviously not a good solution, hk has her own edition up to v10b now and you may not know the situation if flashing other firmware for other areas.

Hey guys quick question, i am currently living with my long suffering firmware that is jellybean...the phones needing a good clean out and update!
So i was wondering if there is a UK regional FTF for the latest kit kat?
BUT ALSO! i have seen generic ES (Spain) Regional FTFs for Kit Kat and i will be moving to Spain in September.. so should i just go a head and flash that? i don't know the difference between ES & UK (not that i have managed to find a UK version, maybe someone could point me in the right direction)
Also are these FTFs available for rooting? my phone is currently rooted with CWM and will most likely want to re-root after i have flashed with flashtools..
sorry to ask such nooby questions
Thanks
Chris

The UI is a bit different with lot of bloatware removed.
Battery drain will be there initially but it will disappear after play store automatically updates.
Hitting thanks will be more appreciated than typing it

I had rooted using the old school method because towelroot was not availabe then
Towelroot will work to root and its the easiest way at the moment.
After rooting just download and install SuperSU from play store.
After flashing firmware Bootloader wont be locked again
Kernel and Root are two different things
You will have to flash recovery again though as flashing firmware will remove the recovery
You can get the recovery from here
Dont follow root instructions from the link as you will be rooted after using towelroot

Hey guys. I'm currently rooted on 22.21.11 and I can't install OTA updated. I want to get 23.16.3. My bootloader is also unlocked.
Please someone can tell me an easy way to get 23.16.3.
Help will be appreciated.

Flash back to stock rom by using graffixNYC 5.0 rom, then proceed to update via OTA.

I have a Note 8 SM-N9500 from Hong Kong.
I searched xda website and there is a way to unlock bootloader.
But I wonder if there is a guide to root SM-N9500?
Thank you very much!
if you read the guide for the bootloader im pretty sure it tells you what twrp to install... then from there just install magisk. Then you are rooted

Guys, have you tried something like using Google to search for "how to unlock n9500 bootloader"? I just did and the first result was a thread here at xda with all the info you need for that, magisk, etc. No need to ask in separate threads. It's a basic question, so just search for it and you'll have your answers.
Hello Fellow Xda'ns ,
Kindly forgive my ignorance. But does rooting still work after the October/ September patch. Please let me know

Using Magisk hide on my banking app works (co-op)
Whether it works on all banking apps I could not tell you.

If you are rooting just stock and not flashing a rom, make sure to flash that no verity zip (is in the link I sent you) or you will face "only official binaries are allowed" then you will have to flash stock and restart.

You need to flash stock filmware to get rid of this message.
Then you should follow this excellent guide here to help it stop happening again - https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...w-to/guide-root-install-twrp-samsung-t3747535
If you are wanting to flash a rom, just flash it once you have installed TWRP, as roms have already taken care of the above.
