Update to G00TUVU1BNG3 without losing root. - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5

This guide is how I updated to latest firmware with TowelRoot still intact.
I downloaded the firmware from Sammobile.com.

Put the .tar file on SD card.
Open Mobile Odin pro.
Scroll down to open file. Press it.
Choose the .tar file.
Checked Enable EverRoot and Inject Superuser.
I choose to wipe dalvik cache which is optional.
Pressed flash firmware and that's it!
Good luck.

You don't lose apps or root. That's the point of the post.

Because it puts all the partitions in the right places.

Have you noticed that you still keep root but will become custom, not official firmware... still no tripped knox

Long as knox isn't tripped I don't care if it says custom lol. Mine said official until I altered the build prop.

I didn't alter anything. What is build prop? I just installed a couple more apps that need root access....

Any chance of hooking us up with a fast mirror? Sammobile is a pain

Can you tell me if it updated your camera firmware??
just tellme your current CAM FW version

---

Thank you,
Got latest FW NG3, Rooted, Knox 0x0, Official status retained
Spend two hours trying to get Odin Pro to work and then realized I switched to ART DOH!!! Switched back to Delvik, spend $4.99, and it took all 5 minutes.

Thanks philli for this
Followed the instructions and was very easy without any fails. The bootloader didn't update so I updated it with pc odin and now everything is all good.
xposed need to be reinstalled, and a few reboots later. up and running
Thanks again
