I previously updated my note 8 via ota and have stock 4.4.2 so I do not have root access.
I'm wondering if anyone on stock rooted 4.2 has tried using flash fire by @Chainfire on their device... If so, does it work?
If it works... I'm wondering is it possible that flash fire would be able to flash the ota file for 4.4.2 and keep root by using the built in ever root function of flash fire?
Still would like to have a rooted device again...

Hello everyone,
My brand new n5100 came with 4.1.2 out of the box, but upgraded to 4.2.2 OTA immediately (XXCMI1).
Right after that, I tried to install either CWM or TWRP through Odin3, with no success. It says PASS, but when I boot in recovery (home+vol.up+power), all that I have is stock recovery.
Does anyone know what's going on? Any ideas on how to do it?
My final objective is to root the device. Framaroot exploits are no working anymore. Should I proceed installing a custom kernel? I am afraid of having a locked bootloader or so, and bricking my new toy due to that.
Thank you in advance!

Use CF Autoroot to root the device. Then install which ever recovery you want.

Tnx man.
Worked like a charm.
Hi guys!
I have a Kindle Fire HD 8.9. I rooted it a while ago using KFFirstAide and bricked it for a while but eventually got it up and running and rooted. An OTA update reset it back to stock. I was able to re-root and disable OTA updates.
Now I see there's a new version of the Fire system - 8.4.6 (I am still on 8.3.0). Is there a way to update to the latest version and retain everything as set, or will I need to just install the update then re-root with KFFirstAide or similar?
Thanks!

You can use KFFA to stop OTA updates. Otherwise when the update happens it will break your root and you will need to reroot your tablet again.
Hello,
I messed up my Note 8 and recently was able to reinstall 4.1.2 stock, I tried connecting to Kies and it doesn't work. I wanted to update to the newest software then root. Since that wasn't working I rooted via Odin then attempted to flash twrp so I could flash a custom rom. Root works but the custom recovery doesn't stick... I tried unticking reboot in odin and the system still reboots into standard recovery.
I tried using the toolkit and its stuck on waiting on debug even though debug is clicked.
Can anyone help me install a custom recovery via odin or another way?
If you have the at&t sgh-i467 version - there is not a custom recovery for it because it has a locked bootlader.
Additionally, the newest 4.4.2 ota update has not been rooted as of yet - so if you must have root, don't install the ota.
The original mf1 rom is rootable, but again there is no customers recovery due to the locked bootloader.
This only applies to the at&t in version...
use Odin
Need help?
I got 2013 nexus 7 WiFi with ,5.1.1 lollipop, I rooted it with chainfire, its rooted now and unlock boot. Working all good, I have not got a custom reocvrry? Is that fine? And also will ota updates work? If I update will my root go ?
You don't need a custom recovery. You will only need it if you want to flash a zip. You will need to do that to for example install s custom Rom og kernel.
Since you have rooted your phone you will no longer be able to get OTA updates. If you want to get them you will need to unroot first. To do that open the SuperSU app. Then choose settings and then full unroot. After you do that and reboot you should be able to get OTA updates again. If you install a custom recovery or ROM tho, you will need to go back to full stock as well to use OTA.
If I unroot then I need to do root again by auto root chain fire? And also the latest update is 5.1.1 so when next update? I mean on the nexus 2013 7 is there no last update?

in less than a week the nexus 7 2013 will be updated to Android 6.0 Marshmallow. as long as you have an unlocked boot loader you should have no problem getting root again. you could try cf autoroot but I would either use the Nexus Root Toolkit or fastboot to obtain root again
I Have 2 Fire TV Gen 2 boxes.
Boot Have Fire OS 5.2.6.3.
The First is Brick through a error in twrp flash Installation (Power off while i install xposed).
This had 5.2.6.3 installed an i could root it with King root 4.1 and i had install twrp and Flash the 5.2.6.2 preerooted Version.
Now i Have a new gen 2 Box with 5.2.6.3 but the Kingroot doesnt work on it.
I try Ed 4.1, 5.0.1, 5.3.5 and over Windows Kingroot.
Is there a way to Use King root to root?
Or is there a other way to root or to install the twrp Recovery without root?
The Strange is that at the Old brick fire tv Box the King root has worked and now on the New Box it doesnt work.
All i need is the twrp Recovery installed.
first time root is only possible with a version up to 5.2.1.1
if you have rooted on this version you can install twrp and newer pre-rooted firmware.
no way to install twrp to root after 5.2.1.1
Strange on the fire tv what now has a brick has the root Ing work with 5.2.6.3
Which version is successfully root samsung j200g
I too have this 5.2.6.3 fire stick,.. can i flash those prerooted firmwares or anything like that? thanks.
No.........
