I will wait until there's more info listed. It doesn't even say what region it's for.

I was wondering if anyone can help me with my query. I recently installed .18. It's rooted and has TWRP recovery. I would like to know the best method for updating to the new firmware. Please let me know if this approach is sound:

• Use OTA RootKeeper to disable root access.
• Got to recovery and do a factory reset and wipe dalvik cache
• Flash the latest update
• Restore root with OTA RootKeeper

With this approach, will I still maintain TWRP recovery or will I need to flash it again?

Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Looks like CN version

Tried downloading it, it starts as "CN_epaduser_10_4_2_19UpdateLauncer.zip".

Looking at the other files, it seems the update is for Chinese (CN) SKU. So, it is wise not to flash this on other SKUs.

If you have recovery, that means you're unlocked, so you can flash anything. What I do to update is.....

Download the update and put it in /sdcard. Make sure you unzip once to get to the zip within
Reboot to recovery
backup your current ROM with it.
Flash the new update zip with it
After the flash, you lose root and recovery, soooooo
Once done, go flash recovery back on
Flash root back in - there's a superuser zip in the rooting guide in the general section
you're all set. It seems like a pain but always works for me...

Many thanks for the feedback and steps.

Yeah, I followed the guide to update and flash from here (excellent guide). Was wondering if flashing the new firmware would completely wipe everything, including the idea of trying to preserve the root functionality using OTE RootKeeper. If it all has to be done again then so be it Plan on using Titanium Backup to back up my apps too. Still learning, though it's a lot of fun and very time consuming.

Cheers.

If you are unlocked with recovery, then you don't need to be concerned with preserving root from ota updates, because this method is not done ota. You lose root after flashing the update because your entire /system partition is overwritten, but you can easily flash root back in after you put your recovery back. Flashing an update like this does not wipe your /data partition, so you keep data apps and their info.
