After installing TWRP, I thought I had to Root my device to create a stock backup. Unfortunately, I rooted before creating my stock backup. So now when I restore my backup, I'm already rooted. That's not a problem, but when I try to check the Samsung Apps for updates, it says my device has been modified and now I won't be able to update to kitkat (if it ever comes out.)
Anyone know where I can download the stock SM T310 ? Can I flash it with TWRP ?

Does it matter if I upgrade to the new baseband before or after installing Cyanogenmod?

it doesn't matter. the upgrade will revert your ROM to stock & locked either way. You'll need to use the jcase_rootme zip file to get root back after you upgrade to the new baseband. Should be able to find it on here or on android central. I can't remember but I think both forums have links to it.
You want to do it before. The update will revert you back to total stock. Then you need to root and install a custom recovery again. To update to the ZV9 Go here: http://androidforums.com/optimus-v-all-things-root/563443-guide-how-flash-zv9-update-step-step.html
To Root and install a custom recovery in one fell swoop, go here: http://androidforums.com/optimus-v-all-things-root/531810-rooting.html
Don't forget to make a backup of your system in the custom recovery before you try your hand at installing a custom ROM.
Wrong section. You should ask in Q&A

Man, THANK YOU, love the oneClick option...finally out of Z9 HELL.
Sorry for the of topic.
Is there a difference between the 3, or a reason to updating the baseband?
HI folks,
does flashing slimkat latest build, unroot the phone?
i recently migrated from Resurrection Remix ROM 4.4 to SlimKat 4.4
How ever when i tried to restore my apps using Titanium Backup, it shows me an error saying that the phone is not rooted. When i boot into recovery, i already have a TWRP recovery. Now i am not sure whether my phone is rooted or not? I even tried to install SuperSU by chainfire, but it says i need to install it's binary from recovery, i am not sure how do i do that.
Kindly guide me to solve this problem.
Do i need to root my phone again? If Yes, which rooting method to use? If No, then what am i missing?
Thanks

the other day i installed one of the roms based on slimkat and my es file explorer wouldn't give me root access to /system nor mount the system to R/W rebooted the phone few times and still no luck so went back to the other 4.4.2 version that was working for me,i am not sure what goes wrong when we flash slimkat roms
It's already rooted. Go to developer options and set root access to apps.
You get developers options in main settings after you click build name in about multiple times.

If you say you have no ROM installed, then it means you do not have a working phone. Your only option, therefore, is indeed to download a stock ROM and flash via Odin or (custom) recovery. Whichever option you choose, you would need to make sure that you download and flash a compatible ROM, i.e. one that would not brick your phone. Your best bet would be to revert to the same Android version you were on prior to the ROM being uninstalled.
I just got an OTA notification for 5.1 too. I'm running GPE RUU rooted 5.0.1 with the latest TWRP recovery.
I got the firmware off of the link below
http://graffixnyc.com/m8.php
It has the stock recovery listed as version 3.11.1700.5. Should i flash this version or a more recent one?
Thanks in advanced for the help!
To flash the OTA you HAVE to bee 100% stock, not even root. OTA updates changed in Lollipop and if anything is different from the original system image it'll fail

I don't think that is the case regarding root. I think installing the update will mean I will loose root but as long as I have a stock recovery and system it should install. I'm just not sure about which version recovery to use..

Nope, it's ALL changed. In Lollipop if you're rooted, it'll fail. You HAVE to be 100% stock. It wasn't an issue pre-Lollipop, though

Does that mean that the only way to upgrade now for people who use root, Xposed, etc. is to do a Titanium Backup and then run a full RUU upgrade to the new image?
Backup your data, restore your stock backup (which you all made, of course), restore stock recovery and then apply the update and restore your data/re-root
I want to install a stock lollipop rom that has nothing changed because I may have deleted some system apks that are needed for the Default App manager to work. I want to get everything back to normal as possible and then reinstall a custom rom. I am rooted and have twrp installed. I do not want to lose rooted or twrp if possible.
