Updates with TWRP, ROOT and/or XPOSED

[Ch3ck3rM0n]

Hey guys,

I have my tablet since one week. I love it, all works fine, Xposed offers me OBB move and so on. But now I have a question:

How can I get the new Updates for my Tablet with ROOT/TWRP?
​

I know OTA can't be updated due to TWRP, but is there any way to flash updates dirty?! (like with LineageOS, OxygenOS, ... )

At the moment, if I try to search for new updates, I get following message:

The operating system on your device hase been modified in an unauthorised way. Try downloading softwar updates using Smart Switch on PC or visit a customer service centre.​

Maybe someone got an early version of the Tab S3 with early factory Android and can give some enlightenment.

Greetz,
CM

First, this should be posted in the q&a section. You're going to have to flash the upgrade firmware tar in odin. Then re-set up your device and re-root. It's a pita. Google has gotten better at saving your apps and data, which helps, or use something like titanium backup

isn't it enough flashing stock recovery and uninstall supersu via app?

I've been away from Samsung devices for awhile, I've been using Nexus but just got a tab3. I haven't tried this but it's possible that you could flash the update.zip that would be pushed to your device using flashfire. You would probably also be able to retain root and TWRP. Maybe someone with more recent samsung use could confirm that. However, based on the message you're getting the update looks like it won't be pushed to your device. And afik samsung doesn't publish the ota, only the full firmware so someone here would have to capture the ota and post it. Whenever samsung gets around to providing an update we can play around with it and see.

PS, do you have a flashable copy of the stock recovery?
