is possible preserve the root updating the fw with mobile odin? How?
Thanx
updating firmware will clear root access, just get re-root the phone once you've updated assuming it's android 5

Yes. If you are in KK stock untouched, then the L upgrade should only just upgrade your software version without wiping anything.

Hallo.... Guys, new android updates are coming. After root its not possible to get OTA update. What is the plan ? i mean, this thread its going to be about the ways how to update our beloved ZOOM to the newest firmware.
QUESTIONS ARE:
It is someone going to work on root for 4.3 - 4.4 ?
It is better to "stay" on stock firmware ?
How its possible (where to download) to flash the stock ? (unrooted)

A very quick clarification needed :
I'm running 4.1.2. Want to root in order to remove the bloatware so that I can increase free ram and hence the overall performance. I won't install any custom ROMs, kernels or any mods. Just remove bloatware for the above reason.
After I root my phone, when the official 4.3 firmware for my country(India) releases, if I flash it via Odin, will the root go away ? And also, is flashing via Odin and 4.3 OTA the same in terms of the performance/battery/stability issues of the phone? I mean, can I just root now and flash the official 4.3 later or just wait for the OTA?

Hello buddy I'm from India too.
Just root the phone and when 4.3 comes out just flash it via odin and that will remove root. If you use ODIN no need to OTA.
Also if you cant wait like me you can install 4.3 ML2 rom via odin too.

But updating any firmware using OTA is better or flashing it via odin is better? I feel OTA is more safe, it won't have any negative consequences. And flashing it via odin might have few negative consequences on the stability. Is it true?!

Are you kidding.
Infact odin is a better way to update.
Its completely safe go for it.
hey there!!
so i have the SGP521, and i understood that if i want to root it i need to flash older version of the firmware, so as it. - i did it! i installed the 17.1.A.2.69 firmware, and i rooted it sucseccfuly! but now i want to update it's firmware to the latest, and i don't know if it possible, that i will flash a new firmware and keep my device ROOTED. (i'm using Flashtool).
is there a way to only "update" the firmware without wiping the root (and maybe without wiping the user data too..)
thanks!
Tal.

Having read these three threads, I don't know and it seems the 511 trick works for the 512. Don't know if it will do the 521.
I'd like to know of the lollipop update coming will be rootable or kill root.

I think I will not take the chance and maybe lose my 4g LTE contectivity by installing other version firmware..
But i will wait for the lollipop update too (hope it will not kill the battery, like it does on almost every phone it's installed on)
but thanks very much for the help!!
Model SM-G930U
version 6.0.1
Where do I go to update it to the latest version and will I lose my root? Thanks a lot.
You can take a Step Back Or Can Jump a Few Steps Forward.
First How To get Stock Latest.
1:Unroot your Phone.(go to supersu>settings>Unroot Complete Unroot)
2:Go to settings>Update.
If that didn't work try A full firmware flash from Odin on Pc
Or you can Flash TWRP and can have Custom ROMs and better functionality

What firmware do I flash using Odin for the latest s7 att upgrade? Do I just flash on top of my current or do I have to unroot first?

No.You don't Need To Unroot Or Do Anything.Just Backup Your Data.You will Lose Root after The Firmware Flash.
You need Either a specific Region Firmware Or Anything That Isn't corrupted.
Go here and Fill out the form and Download the firmware.Latest Is 7.0
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7/SM-G930U/
If It is not the latest Then After flashing Go to settings About Device and Bang On Device Updates.
Again You'll lose your Root.

Hi all,
I want to downgrade from G965FXXUAETG3 to G965FXXS7DTB1 because this modem is not supported by chimeratool. Please let me know any possibility by any means.

I want to change IMEI and patch cert with chimera tool but current modem is unsupported so want to go back to supported modem which is on 8th binary else my lovely phone is unusable.
Any suggestion related to patch cert?
I got a customer who wants to downgrade from Android 10 to 8. I know Samsung has anti-downgrade protection and you can't flash older firmware using Odin.
What about rooting the phone first though and flashing the Android 8 firmware using TWRP? Wouldn't that work?

My phone is already rooted and do you have any guide how can I flash complete firmware through twrp with bootloader. Actual problem is bootloader which can't initialize previous version of modem. I have downgraded modem but it does not pick IMEI.

You'd have to flash system, vendor and a kernel that can run Android 8. Just flashing the firmware straight up won't work

I mean, I've done it on other Samsung phones, yes. Updated officially to Pie and then flashed an Oreo ROM that includes system, vendor and kernel images and it runs fine.

How you have done it? Samsung boot loader won't allow you to downgrade !

I don't need to downgrade bootloader, just need to flash the ROM which includes system, vendor and a working kernel.
I'm speaking strictly about running Android 8, not downgrading. So this method of downgrading to Oreo probably won't help you on your problem
Can we do it with firmware combination file or eng modem?

I guess we both having same issue. I upgraded to UAETG3 and the mobile signals were gone. IMEI status is 'NG' and it says emergency calls only. The binary of aforesaid update is higher and it won't let me downgrade. Have you found a solution?

Try to flash complete firmware from odin and if not then your efs is corrupted !
I think combination file might downgrade with re partition
Any information how to downgrade modem and bootloader?
