I am at Lollipop 5.0 OC1 with root. I was never able to install suSuper or get OC2 to install while I was is SafeStrap so I installed a rooted Lollipop OC1 .tar via Flashfire. So far so good... except ATT wants to push an update on me, which I declined knowing I'd lose root.

I assume I need to/want to go to OC2 . What file would I use to do that and can I use Flashfire to do that? I don't have access to Odin on this machine (company machine is locked down and I can't add the Samsung drivers)

Can I install the StageFright fix via Flashfire as well?

I'm pretty sure many here on xda took the oc2 update while on rooted oc1 and didn't loose root. carl1961 has a thread with the oc2 update zip. Check that thread out (can't remember exactly which thread sorry). It's a config file, rename to update.zip and don't see why Flashfire wouldn't flash. I hope this info helps
