I have a WiFi model also rooted with Bin4ry's tool, update 353 came and failed to install.
What's interesting, it successed after I flashed stock FTF and rooted again... Also root preserves after update.

Your firmware is 10.1.E.0.244? seems 250 above can not be rooted

i am on 10.1.E.0.250

@xperiax10.awesome

just tried to follow your links to create my FTF files.
however, the flashtool did not flash FTF file into my tablet.
i have followed the instruction in the NOOB post, created my files by including all EXCEPT loader.sin
all went well until i started to flash the files.
i can connect my tablet at flash mode, but it stucks at that, and disconnect automatically and reboot my tablet.
then flashtool saids i am connecting with USB debug off (but it is on), and might be in MTP mode (but it is in MSC mode).

any help is appreciated. thanks

Didn´t know exactly what you did
But create the FTF without loader.sin (because flashtool hasn´t the correct one yet)
after this you have to add the loader.sin from an other FTF Tablet Z File (for example from this Firmware)
So after all you have an FTF File with the correct loader.sin
After that turn the device off and connect it to the pc when the flashtool show the message to connect a device to the computer while holding VOL down.

thank you... but this loader.sin file replacing process is getting too complicated ....

would be great if it was included in the OP of this post or the NOOB guide.... with corresponding instructions.

after all, flashing a FTF without certain element is already quite risky.
flashing a FTF with a loader.sin from another firmware is even more risky as we have no way to tell if this would brick the tablet ...

rename the ftf to zip.
extract the loader.sin
add the loader.sin in the new Firmware (renamed from ftf to zip)
then rename back to .ftf
There is no risk with the loader, if it fits it will flash if not it will not flash.

thanks for sharing your FTF file.
however, i still cannot flash it through ... same error, after device connected, nothing happening, flashtool disconnect my device automatically and make it reboot and reports that USB debugging is off (but it is turned on before i turn the device off)

The only way to root new firmware at the moment may be flashing a CWM zip of the latest version, after flashing the rootable FTF with root and recovery installed.
And OTA from a rooted firmware also works.
