US update file for us rooted users

[wingdo]

Did anyone save the update file for those of us who are rooted? Root / TWRP tripped it so I cannot download whatever 115MB update is out there.

I was rooted, no twrp. Update via kies was successful, but unrooted device.

If you can tell me where to look for update file I'll see what I can do.

Did the update via kies keep all data intact like an OTA? I can always put a stock recovery back on it and use kies, never thought about it.

Yes all was the same after the update except for losing root. I forgot to try survival mode in Super su before the update.

It seems that I could re-root with the CF Auto root file I used last time. Root Checker basic claims I'm un-rooted but I can use titanium backup and root explorer (to rename a system file) without issue.

Can someone rooted, but not updated try root checker basic from joeykim and see if it is simply a kk issue? Just curious.

I had survival mode enabled, it didn't work. Lost root and tried to re-root and it failed. I had to flash stock image to get the tablet to boot up again.

Can you check to see if acreen mirroring is working for you now?

I'm not familiar with that function but I'll play with it and see what happens.

In addition to loosing root I also lost write access to the external SD card. I had to re-run the SD Fix app to restore that ability as well.

You will lose root when you update, However flash the root in odin again AND reinstall SuperSU and you will have root again. I'm updated and I have root with no problems at all.

Does re-rooting with wugfresh's Nexus tool still work after update?

1. MAJOR Stability improvement. (Noted update on whitesheet)
2. Images load faster. (Noted update on whitesheet)

Other than these two things, I haven't noticed anything else as of yet.

LoL, no problem, happens to the best of us.

My Note is already very stable - could you give an example or 2 of how yours became more stable after the update?

I'm just wondering if I want to go through the process of re-rooting, no matter how simple.
