Search for one click root, that will take all the steps for you, including custom recovery.

Hey guys. I have a rooted Galaxy S blaze and i am running on the stock t-moible rom. I didnt install clockmod recovery or anything like that, I installed Kies on my laptop and i saw it said new firmware was available. Can i install this or do i need to be unrooted??
U can but you'll lose root. But I'd Odin back to unrooted stock just to be safe

Thanks for the quick reply man.
Yea i do not want to unroot. I rooted it to get rid of the bloatware. Is there a root for the update? Im guessing its ICS so is there a ICS root?
Look through dev section
It's pretty easy to root ics

I rooted and unlocked the bootloader of my dads phone using the method found at this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046439
I did the root and bootloader unlock, but he stayed fully stock with the stock ROM. If his phone gets the MF1 update and it installs, will it brick or will he just be stock unrooted again?

It won't brick but he will likely lose root access.

Thanks man.
I'll have him download Voodoo Root Keeper and have him protect the root in case. MAYBE it will restore the root.

Just flash bonestock or one of the stock roms and flash mf1. Will get better battery life and lose all the Verizon garbage. I had to flash back to stock to send my phone back and the last two days using it on stock sucks.

Read the comments after the guide. Not very promising.
And I don't think this is posted in the correct section.
Moved here....Thanks.
I posted it and I've successfully rooted my phone and my wife's phone via this method. Running stock rooted with xposed, greenify, adaway, and several other apps that require root.
Just trying to help out as I searched for quit some time for a quick and easy way to root 4.4.2
I used ioroot25 to successfully root my AT&T LG G2 d800 running stock ota kitkat.
Been that way for weeks.
Now, there is not, as of yet, a way to get a custom recovery on the damn thing. Not without downgrading firmware and rooting first. Basically still limited to loki support for custom recoveries.

So this method will work with those that have the D80020k update as well?

There is a way to install a custom recovery on stock KK via autorec:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715496
I rooted via this method and then installed twrp with autorec on a stock out of the box KK device. No need to downgrade or anything.

WooHoo! Bonus!
It works and I didn't have to restore to old firmware first, or screw up anything. No lost data.
Thanks.
I was on d80020c, rooted it with above method and was forced to take the 20k update and kept root!

Just use IOROOT25 to root 20k, then AUTOREC to install recovery. Can't get any easier than that.

The quickest way to do it I think if you didn't make a backup with flashify, which you should next time before you flash custom recovery again....is to CF-AutoRoot, Chainfires program roots with custom recovery then flashes stock right after so you will have stock recovery and stay rooted without doing anything else!
Thanks thats what i used to root so should be easy

No problem broskini! and sorry forgot to mention towel root, ive heard it does not trip knox, I got my phone before towel root. Towel root wouldn't do same thing as CF-Autoroot as far as flashing stock recovery! So do not use CF-Autoroot to get stock recovery if you Towel rooted.
I had my phone before towelroot also i wish id have waited to root for it but oh well still thanks for the info
