I'm confused..should I take the OTA or not ? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

I'm not rooted, running stock out of the box 5.0.2 tmobile us 64 gb edge.
If i take the OTA to 5.1.1 with the latest build, will i still be able to root and flash twrp with a rom etc?
I am not new to odin but new to the s6 way of things. S5 was so easy to root.

if youre not rooted go ahead and do it..
i just updated and lost root.. im missing my root!!... XPOSED ... NOOOOO!!!!:crying::crying::crying::crying:

I 2nd the XPOSED. That and adaway are the two biggest reasons I root. That and to remove bloat

I have taken every OTA so far and they have all worked with out TWRP posted by Aou.
I haven't yet tried it on the latest firmware, OH6, but there is no reason it shouldn't work. Just Odin flash twrp after downloading a custom ROM to your internal memory and then immediately boot to twrp and you should be able to install any S6 ROM provided it is bundled with the unikernel or if you flash a kernel that supports the ROM and the G925T.
And as for Xposed you'll need to flash a deodexed ROM to get it working. There are several choices out there, Xtre Sto Lite is a popular one.

Hmm will try that..
Xtrestolite is a good rom, but you will not have VoLTE and WiFi calling,
There is one rom that is deodexed/debloated with VoLTE and WiFi calling. . RAPTURE is the name g920t
But dev left development. . And it's of8.

[ROM/Kernel/Modem/Rec][Oct-13] I317-UCAMH3 Stock Rooted Odex and De-Odex - Sep-13 OTA

Here are a set of packages flashable from a custom recovery (CWM, TWRP) that are based completely on the September 2013 UCAMH3 stock OTA for the AT&T I317 in all their bloated glory.
These packages are intended only for the AT&T version of the Note 2.
The odex package contains the stock files after the OTA update less bootloader and recovery. It includes Chainfire's SuperSU and Linus Yang's build of busybox. It installs the UCAMH3 kernel and the modem.
Want to stay close to stock? OTA process not working on your phone? Prefer odex for the speed? This is the package for you...
The de-odex package was created with the current 2.0 version of smali/baksmali and current Android SDK zipalign using a version of Daneshm90's Auto-Deodexer script which I updated for this effort. The de-odex package also includes SuperSu and busybox, but does not install the kernel or modem. :good:
Both of these packages completely replace the contents of the system partition. If you are coming from another stock-based I317 firmware wipes should not be necessary.
For completeness's sake I've included separate packages for the kernel, modem, and recovery.
AT&T UCAMH3 i317 *Odexed* Stock CWM Note 2 (includes kernel and modem)
AT&T UCAMH3 i317 *Deodexed* Stock CWM Note 2
CWM AT&T i317 UCAMH3 Stock *Kernel* Note 2
CWM AT&T i317 UCAMH3 Stock *Modem* Note 2
CWM AT&T i317 UCAMH3 Stock *Recovery* Note 2
If you are new to custom recoveries here are links specific to the I317 (AT&T Note 2):
PhilZ Advanced CWM Edition
TWRP Recovery
Thanks to qkster for helping test the odex package
Thanks to 147aaron, Guitarboarder28, and lownox for the UCAMH3 modem - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448927
Thanks to Chainfire for SuperSu (consider donating or buying pro version)
Thanks to Linus Yang for the busybox build
Thanks to Daneshm90 for the original Auto-Deodexer script

if running this rom, when our official update does come out
can we just flash stock recovery and take the update?
or have to flash back to pure stock?
Does the Deodexed version includes the modem? Or just the rom and kernel/ thanks!

This should work, but for best results you can always Odin back to ucama4 and take the ota update that way... I recommend being cautious about that though because ATT now has a locked bootloader policy and there is a very good chance that the 4.3 update will have a locked boot loader... Meaning no custom recovery and no custom Roms... Check out the MF3 update for the SGS4 to see what I mean.

I sprung for the Note3 which will be in my happy hands thursday....
So you'll be rooting de la Vega soon

For pure stock Odin is your best bet. These packages are rooted and may trip the system modified flag, especially with a custom recovery loaded.

Sure, there are lots of them.....
Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile/development
Those roms are all TWRP flashable custom and semi-stock rooted roms.
Many of those are 4.3 custom roms, check it out.
Any of those roms are fully compatible with your phone.
Good luck!

I tried a couple of 4.4 and Jovys 4.3 but went back to 4.2.2. There are certain Xposed modules that don't function properly. It is a hassle just for App2SD. I just use FolderMount and call it a day. Don't fix what ain't broke.

Hate to ask but Can we have one for the d803 and i will test it. Its been released a few days ago
If we flash this, does it allow for OTA updates from LG (if/when there are some) or does this 'disqualify' the ROM? Just interested in seeing stock again some day, I get lots of different wants, side effect from the mass dosage of pain meds for severe chronic pain hah.
Thanks for any questions answered.

You will get OTA BUT since you would be rooted with custom recovery it will bootloop. I suggest flash and wait. Xda will surely have someone posting any updates. I will make flash able zip rhen which you can use later

[Q] Bootloops after updating to TWRP 2.7.0.0

I have did some searches this morning and can't find my answer. I had twrp 2.6.3.10 I could flash any aosp rom but not any TW rom on Kit kat. Went through the process of updating my bootloader by flashing stock Tmobile TW rom thru Odin. Then went to twrp 2.6.3.10-BL
Then I couldn't flash aosp rom but could flash TW on kit Kat. Now I'm on beanstalk and twrp 2.7.0.0 and when I flash a aosp rom it completes successfully but it just bootloops. Any help on flashing more aosp roms would be greatly appreciated
Attached a screen shot of my about screen.
Is that Tmobile or international rom? If international you need a tmobile kernel.

Hi, Im currently using stock rom with root access on my note 2 n7100, android v 4.4.2, I once flashed a custom rom with android version 4.1.2 and I encountered a bunch of glitches, the biggest one was not being able to call ( no service), if I flash a custom rom with android version 4.2.2 , will everything work smoothly?

Flashing a custom rom is no up- or downgrade at all. As on 4.4.2 forget about downgrade forever.
You may flash most 4.3 and all 4.4.+ custom roms for N7100 and you will be fine without problems.
So 4.2.2 is a nono :C?
