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?

Thanks but had you read my question better (and that thread), you would have seen that I was asking about going from OC1 to OC2. I used Flashfire to get to OC1. I was asking if you can get from OC1 to OC2 using Flashfilre.
True,but so far I haven't seen oc2, yet,
Also i have been able to use flashfire to flash any oc1 based rom with out safestrap
Also please use the Q&A session

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

OK, think I must be being a little bit blind around the forum, but cannot seem to locate how and links to perform a root once I update to 4.3
I'm running 4.1.2 and am currently rooted (I used CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4 since forever and always seems to work), which seemed to work fine on 4.1.2. However, reading all over the place about rooting being different on 4.3, but as I said, just cannot seem to find links and info on how to do it on the latest
I know I can easily install the 4.3 update using ODIN to replace 4.1.2, but would then like to re-root once this has been done
Any help and links much appreciated
Cheers

i used this http://download.chainfire.eu/229/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300.zip and worked just fine
edit: i used the odin included inside the .zip and put the root file at PDA
If you have Mobile Odin, that's the easiest way. Used it to root MK6
I used CF Auto Root on the OTA update and it was fine.

Excellent .. thanks guys. Was just a little worried with all the stuff have been reading about the latest 4.3 and Knox etc, that it might not be possible to root. I understand that the knox flag is now triggered, but to me that is not a prob, as don't really worry about the warranty
I rooted my 4.3 via cf root 6.4 but flashed it via odin. Unzip go to download mod put cf root md5 into pda and hit start. Than go to custom recoveri and flash su 1.8 update from sd card. Easy

Do you have Knox in 4.3? Does rooting trip the Knox flag?
Knox isnt part of 4.3 rom for sgs3.

Hi, i installed Imperium v23.2 today and when i tried to use Titanium backup it failed to load because there is no SU binary?

Hi,
I had nc5, but wanted the hyperdrive rls16 4.4.2..and i got it..but then i lost my root access. i downgraded my NC5 OTA to mk2 then rooted and flashed the pre-rooted nc5. after that I flashed hyperdrives rls16, but lost my root access?? how should i go about this? should i downgrade AGAIN, root the mk2, then flash the hyperdrive rom without the pre-rooted nc5 upgrade??
i pretty much used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2763834 before i flashed the hyperdrive rls16..did i do something wrong?

You have to flash Superuser right after you flash Huperdrive. Before you reboot.

So do I have to re downgrade then upgrade again or can I just flash superuser?
yes
to answer your question yes. you need to downgrade again. check out my up and downgrade method thread (all 1 file up or downgrades simply the best and easiest/safest way to upgrade or downgrade and for both new and old bootloaders) and tips for ROMs the next time you flash Hyperdrive, gDux, Foxhound or any other 4.4.2 ROM you need to flash a SuperSu194.zip(find that in my thread as well) before your first restart. So always opt out of the question whether you want to restart during final stage of any aroma install.

You need to research how to root your specific build. They're not all done the same way. As far as a custom recovery, your ONLY option is Safestrap. I suggest you do a lot of reading before you run into bigger problems.

Since he's on nk1, he can still downgrade back to nc5. Go to this thread and get the full wipe nc5:

OK. My baseband says NC5 now, according to plan. Is towelroot my only option? Is safestrap my only recovery option? I thought that if you try to flash a recovery to try a rom when you are rooted with towelroot that it will brick the phone.

I don't know if Towelroot is your only option for root, but it's what I used and it worked fine. As far as recovery, like I said above, Safestrap is your ONLY option.

We can only use towelroot and safestrap. There are a few good roms in the development section that we can flash. Hyperdrive, echoerom, and Eclipse are solid. There are a few others as well that are closer to stock or are hybrids (aosp feel with TW base). Check out that section and flash only the ones that say are compatible with SS. I'm running echoerom v39.1. Be sure to read all the instructions since some of these roms may have other files that need to be flashed with it. Happy flashing!
Right now I'm on the oc1 bl running stangs rom is it impossible get ss at all if there is I'm willing to go through all the steps to get it
you can't use safestrap on the oc1 bootloader
Safestrap on OF1 ?

Am I understanding correctly that Safestrap will not support OF1 as well? I'm completely stock and just obtained root and would love to try loading some ROMs via SS.

I just rooted my i545 s4 running on 4.3.
All i want is to update to a 5.0 or higher version.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
U can update manually with odin just download stock samsung firmware vrugoc1 or vrugof1 either one is 5.0 but you may loose root. if you do oc1 has been rooted I'm sure you can find the info about rooting oc1 in this forum
I've got everything downloaded and ready. Even removed root just in case. But I can't get the drivers downloaded/updated. Always fails. Any thoughts?
