Once you have acquired root via CWM, you can flash any rom you like.

Having a problem- can't seem to root
Hey guys- I have a question/problem.
I updated via Kies as well. I didn't like the stock ROM, so I wanted to go back to "The Unofficial" that I was using before. However I can't find the right thread to get mine rooted for some reason. Can somebody point me to the right one please? I'm still fairly new at this and trying to get the hang of it.
Thanks!

I tried to the Odin root method after upgrading to the official ICS. It wouldn't boot. It got stuck at SAMSUNG logo.

No.
Once you have CWM you can flash any Rom...You would only need root of you wanted to run that firmware....rooting with cwm before you flash a Rom is an exercise in futility...the Rom itself will be rooted one flashed.

That's because you just flashed a gingerbread kernel on an ics Rom.
The gingerbread root .tar is for gingerbread only...
Solved! Thank you,

Hi Guys!
Is there any soul who can help me out?
I have a SGP321 Tab Z version with stock 4.4 on it, and rooted with towelroot (i guess this is the name!)
Every single update i've done since initial version 4.1 had been without any problems and all by OTA.
Now, after downloading the latest version, after click install button, i get a message box telling me that the tablet will restart and will take some 41 minutes to do the job. OK then, it reboots, but after one or two minutes max, it reboots again and nothing done. Then on the notification bar i get a message saying that the update failed and i should do it again.
Well Mates, after 5 tries i gave up?
Maybe someone have had a problem like this one??
Might have something to do with the root method?? I really can't figure out....
Thanks for your kind help in advance.

To tell long story short, it is because you are rooted. Before applying OTA device checks system files for modifications and stops install if it finds one. Root as you know is a modification.
So, any suggestion?
What should i do?
Thanks, again

Sorry to bother again, but on the second link you provided, something have frightened me:
"...Unfortunately, XZDualRecovery isn't working for TabZ with Lollipop at the moment.
That's why it is not included..."
So, will it work?

recovery is working good now.
I was on soak test 5.0.2 before going to 5.1.1 custom ROMs... I restored to stock 4.4.4, and got the 5.1 notification...
MY QUESTION IS:
IS IT SAFE TO ACCEPT THE OTA? Will it brick my device?

Yeah ni Brick happens maybe,
AFAIK bootloader upgraded in 5.0.2 big update, so cant tell what happens, and if u used custom ROMs, then u cant live with Stock ROM anymore. Im sure you will restore that backup after trying Stock rom, IMHO wait for twrp backup of FINAL OTA and try that, not make any drastic steps now bcoz the device is year older so we have no Warranty now.. ...

Hey thanks bro, but I restored to 4.4.4 yesterday, got the OTA.... And guess what!!!!
I am running official 5.1 on my phone now... No brick has occurred, everything is smooth.
I have never taken such a serious and risky step before in my life! :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
But I can guarantee you and other fellow XDA members
Don't be afraid to install 5.1 OTA after restoring to stock 4.4.4 from 5.0.2
It actually works, since it Motorola has made it official.
Two things to note though....
The bootloader has been updated
The partition tables have been updated
The recovery is no longer the Kitkat one (as seen in 5.0.2 soaks)
Oh and BTW, if someone wants to get back to 4.4.4 for some reason, then he CAN, by flashing all the firmware files of 4.4.4 EXCEPT the bootloader and the partition. He will also get the OTA and install it fine. Just tried it tomorrow.
Peace!

Don't worry, I won't be hanging out for too lomg in this "featureless ROM" :laugh:
Nevertheless, I think, it is good to get a taste of the Official ROM.
I have rooted it via TWRP, haven't tried kingroot!

Why do you want the TWRP backup, you can just revert to stock and get the OTA.

I have made the backup, ready to be flashed....
Here are two things to do prior to installing
Do a backup of the previous ROM
Wipe Everything
Now install, and as soon as it completes setup, DO A FACTORY RESET (it gave bootloops, so I am requesting).
And another interesting thing, if you change the language to English US, the new Boot animation appears
I will definitely upload by tomorrow...
Thanks for the patience

I had already made a back up just before rooting and after that I rooted,installed xposed etc.....When I got the stock recovery today I tried to restore the back up I had taken but same thing happened to me ....it didn't boot......stopped at android is starting then I forced switch off and rebooted to twrp and did a factory reset and then it booted ........
Initially it was showing the old animation (I had selected English (india) as language) but when I flashed the stock recovery , the animation changed to new one and I checked the bootanimation file is the same but I got the new one.....now when I flashed twrp again bootanimation stays as new one
Thanks for the upload again
I bet you both will back to Custom ROM again sooon, you all wasting time [emoji14]

When flashing the stock recovery and successfully updating the firmware, will I loose root?
I've read somewhere that the bootloader will be locked again.

You will have to re-root yes.
BL should stay unlocked, although I have yet to update "normally" so I'm not sure. I only used HWOTA, and now HuRUpdater as it will let you keep twrp as well.
Hi! I hope everyone's doing well and okay.
Recently, I just updated my device software to latest 12.5.7 version and suddenly my Magisk root access didn't worked.
I tried using the latest TWRP (Boot A) & (Boot B) which made my phone bricked. Luckily, I was able to flash the stock (old) software version.
MY QUESTION:
Do we have an updated procedure on how to make the root access and TWRP compatible to latest software version 12.5.7?
Please help or else I will be stuck with the software version 12.5.5 just to have a proper root access.
Thank you and please be safe all the time!
Hello, what TWRP method did you use? I rooted my old 12.5.5 with this https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/poco-x3-gt-note-10-pro-twrp-and-magisk.4354825/ and didn't try the new unofficial TWRP on the new 12.5.7 ROM yet (upgraded just like you and lost root access).
I'm also looking for a way to root 12.5.7.

Hi there!
So now I'm back at 12.5.5 software version, just to have the root access so I won't update the software for now since there's no official way to root the latest 12.5.7
Btw, I used the one-click-tool thread file to root my device.

The link I mentioned might still work for rooting the device. I will try it and keep this thread updated. I'm guessing if the device is bricked or in a bootloop I can just flash the ROM through MIUI Flash tool?

You are correct. It can be flashed using Mi Flash tool easily.
Thank you for everything in advance. Let's hope for a full support for the latest software version soon. I can see people having a good feedback about the recent software update.
I'm just going to stick with the 12.5.5 for now.
Hi, I saw one of the threads here that there's a fastboot available for 12.5.7 latest software version.
I hope someone can share the process on how to get a root access as well for the latest software version.
Thank you!
