[Q] Is there someone .....rooting/unrooting=OTA issue

The device I'm talking about: Transformer ww 8.4.4.11
Bought the device with HC3.1 v. 8.4.4.11 ww
I've rooted the device, without problems.
Wanted to update OTA to 3.2 ww.
Unrooted the device. Checked with rootchecker, so it is unrooted, no superuser, no busybox on it. Now it has again HC 3.1 v. 8.4.4.11. ww
Since that, my ota doesn't work.
Question: Is there anyone who managed to update his device (OTA to 3.2 ww) after a rooting unrooting procedure?
If yes, please, please tell me how.
Thank you.

Well... it seems that no one managed to get the ota...
In this case I'm the only one who received it. Cos I did receive it.

i'm not shure if i understand your last post. Did you get the ota? cause i unroot my device today to 8.4.4.11 (HC 3.1) I can update is manual to 8.6.5.7 but i unroot it specialy to 8.4.4.11 to check if i will get again ota.
So, did you get it and had to wait much time or how i should understand your post ^^

Don't even need to unroot if you upgrade from 3.1 to 3.2 using firmware for asus site.

I mean't OTA. I wanted to try, if i will get OTA updtes after flash a stock rom. In the post you show they talk about flashing update manual. I know about this and how to do it. So i will wait a few days and see if my TF will tell me something about updates.

I have. Assuming you have unrooted properly all you need to do now is re-flash an official update from the Asus site. If that doesn't work you haven't unrooted properly and you'll need to NVflash back to stock and re-flash another Asus download. Should be solved after this and allow fota updates to be downloaded normally and installed.

i have unrooted my TF like in this thread yesterday.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154947&highlight=unroot
i took the original asus firmware 8.4.4.11. I could take the new one 8.6.5.7 but i specially took the older one to see if there will be an ota update. i have no message till now that there is an update for my device.
Does anybody know how long it could take? now there are 30h gone since unroot and flash an original asus FW. If i try manualy to search for an update my TF says there isn't one for my device now.
is there a difference if i take a WW Firmware or a DE? Don't know if there will be problems with the OTA updates if i take the WW Firmware. I'm from Germany, so i took the DE Firmaware.
EDIT: I forgot to say. I have the stock recovery and no Superuser app. And the flashing was without any problems.

Solved
I get the OTA update today. The only thing you have to do after unroot properly and flashing a stock rom is to wait some days.

[q] tf101 update? Razorclaw?

Hello there, I recently got a tf101 from a friend.(I am new to the device)
it's on v8.6.5.9 I checked for updates and it says none found, what.
I hear you can use razorclaw and root your device without a pc which is good because i believe connecting the divece to a pc is too much work.
How to update to a version supported by razorclaw, I tried usingthe app and it gives me a message saying I do not have the files needed. How to?

RazorClaw need .19 firmware (HC)
The firmware you need is not on Asus website but there's a 8.6.6.19 (originally for 3g model)
floating around that you could use

Not 3g model but is there a big difference?
and do you happen to know what thread I may find it on, I tried searching for it and so much irrelevant threads.
Nvm, got it. thnx.

Here's the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1417006
the firmware is for a 3G model but will flash on a wifi only model.
The main thing is so you'll be able to use RazorClaw to root, install CWM
and can flash any rooted ROM you like up to the current ICS.
With a firmware that old you might have an SBKv1 tf
so another option is NVFlash if the above don't work.

Can a root device be upgraded?

Hi all
A week ago a rooted my Samsung Galaxy S6 device following this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/root-pingpongroot-s6-root-tool-t3103016
All was OK. At that point my device is using the Android Version: 5.0.2
The question I have is that now the version 5.1.1 (Lillipop) has been released, I would like to know if my rooted device can still be upgrading when the new version is released in my region (Mexico) by the phone provider. (Telcel). In case it cannot be updated automatically, I guess I will need to do it manually or unroot my device. In that scenario, Does someone know a good tutorial how to do that?
Regards!

@LesthadMK, sure you can update rooted devices. But it may not be possible via OTA update. You will have to download the full firmware and install it manually.
Because root makes changes to system partition, OTA fails when you have rooted. If you unroot and flash stock recovery and kernel back, then OTA may work. Otherwise, simply flash the full firmware, in .tar format using Odin software, and you're good.
It's good to have full firmware saved on PC anyway, as if in case you brick your device, you can fix it by installing your device's firmware manually.
If you need help with 5.1.1 firmware installation on your s6, let me know the build no. of your device.. I will guide you to page you need to look at.

Thanks for the help. I have download Odin in case I need to do it manually.
Also, mentioned that yesterday I read an article saying that using the Samsung software "Smart Switch" in an rooted device will upgrade the device to the newest version (which I don't know if it it's true or not) Any way this is the link I found:.... Well seems since I'm newby I cannot post some external links. So just google it as: How to Use Smart Switch to Update Your Galaxy S6—Even It's Rooted.
By other hand, this is the build number for my device: G920IDVU1AOE3, so if you can help me to know how to upgrade that version that would be very helpful

1. You don't have to worry about lock bootloader
2. Which Software version are you running? v10e, v10i or v10j?
3. If you update there is a way to downgrade cuz we have previews KDZ's

I am running version 10i,
I am guessing tmobile wants to upgrade me to v10j. Is there a flash able version for 10j that I can use?
Thanks

dummy you can't update that way you must remove all traces of root which the app can't do use the KDZ

If you are rooted and it says system update DO NOT INSTALL IT... it will brick your phone

Samsung On5 G550T1 MetroPCS REV0.4 stock OS anyone?

Hi All,
The short of a long story is that I just changed carriers and found out way late that I couldn't bring my Sprint phone to MetroPCS. So now I'm using the budget PCS On5 that came with the deal when we signed up.
I successfully loaded TRWP and then rooted however, I didn't know about FRP until it smacked me in the face. The root went fine but later SU prompted me to update the binary and when it did, it tripped factory reset protection and soft bricked my phone.
I want to reinstall stock OS on this phone but it appears that I have a software version that I haven't been able to find on the web yet. I found the stock rom for the MetroPCS On5 easily enough but it's Revision 0.0 and the box I have for the phone says REV0.4.
When I try to Odin Flash the REV0.0 version, I get SW REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE 2, BINARY 1 fail. So I guess I had the latest software on my phone and the phone thinks I'm trying to roll back using the 0.0 revsion.
My question is this, does anyone here have the stock rom for G550T1 REV0.4? Help!
If nobody does, maybe I can still fix this phone. I have a TRWP backup from the sister phone (same model same revision 0.4) that I'm using right now but I can't get back into TRWP on the soft bricked phone to recover that way to use the backup file.
Next I thought I might take the backup files and turn it into a rom and just flash that. However, with the tutorials I followed I kept running into problems. When I went to unpack the files per the tutorial, my rar software said that the file was corrupt. Maybe it is. but maybe not. It was my first time attempting to make a rom. If I can't find the software I need, could any of you Android geniuses help me get this backup into a flashable format?
I have to admit I'm daunted by the FRS in 5.0 and above. Is it defeatable? How do you root newer Android versions?
Thanks!

I did the same thing to my phone. did you get yours fixed?> if so could you provide me with the rom?

I haven't found the fix yet. Hopefully somebody will come through with a helping hand!

I finally got it figured out! So here is what i did and hopefully it will work for you.
1. I Odin flashed a good BL from the ROM REV0.0 floating around on the net. So at least I could now get into download mode.
2. Then I used Kies3 > Tools > Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation. It will ask you for your model number and then when you click ok it will ask you for a SN.
3. The trick is that Samsung doesn't put the SN that you need on the phone or the box. (personally, I couldn't find it on the phone either once I got it up and running) so go here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/root-samsung-galaxy-on5-t3435457/page46 and get a SN from post #454 and use that. (don't forget to say thanks)
4. Click Ok. Let it work, and max and relax.
Mine took about 10 minutes. Hopefully this will work for you too! Thanks XDA!

Help!
What is BL from the ROM REV0.0? I need your help, I have the MetroPCS On5 and I installed Reborn ON5 I want to go back to the MetroPCS ROM because the camera and the audio do not work and I tried to install the original ROM through Odin but it does not work I get an error. What I can do? I would like to use this method but I do not have very clear files needed.
You could help me bro, I'll thank you
