No.
1. CWM = Custom Recovery. Anything but stock recovery cannot install an official OTA.
2. If you didn't have CWM and had stock recovery, Xposed and Wanam shouldn't matter when doing the OTA, all you have to do is reinstall the Xposed Framework afterwards inside the framework menu.
3. If you want to do this update, you must go back on stock ROM, meaning you will have to flash the current firmware in Odin which would delete all your data and root. Perform the update then hope you can still root, if necessary.

Could anyone give some info on what's the easiest way to get to a rooted stock Kitkat rom?
I'm currently running a rooted stock 4.3 rom with a couple of xposed modules with Team Win Recovery.
I can't update through the settings menu, because my phone is rooted, so i'll have to do it manually. Preferably I would like to update without the loss of data, just like an official update. It's no crisis if I have to though, I can always make a backup if I have to do a full wipe.

Flash the official KitKat update through Odin. You shouldn't lose any data. The root using CF- Auto Root

find the stock rom from samsung-updates.com or sammobile.com and flash through Odin 3.07 or TWR
Root:http://download.chainfire.eu/381/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.91.zip
Hey guys! I want to update my Galaxy S4 I9505, because an update was released in August and I last updated in February. The problems are:
root
xposed Framework
custom recovery
custom kernel
Knox apps and stuff removed
What's gonna happen if I update? Which things do I have to redo/reinstall?
And would it better to update via Kies or flash the firmware with odin? (I can get the fw from sammobile, no problem)
EDIT: I'm on standard Touchwiz btw.
if you update over Odin PC or Kies
you will loose root
your files and most apps will not be touch
Use Odin to flash it because Kies will fail. Just try and see how it goes. If you got problems then do a factory reset.
Thank you!
I did a backup followed by a few experiments:
Download mode --> Flash FW with Odin
CF Auto-Root
Custom Recovery
Custom Kernel
Activate xposed (with flashing a zip)
Clear Cache and Dalvik
All that without a single boot to the FW before the last step. Worked!!! :good:
Just as the title asks, is there any custom recovery available for Verizon S5 running latest rooted, stock ROM? I have been unable to find a straight answer. I know NCG build works with Safestrap, but is there any custom recovery out there for BOC4 build? If not, how have people been installing mods and other zips that require flashing?

No custom recovery yet. Unless you want to venture into this post.

Flashfire will flash zips and firmware. And do backups. You can get it at the top of this post.

You can use flashfire, which is a very easy ways to install ROMs, or, when you want to install a ROM, just flash a Kitkat kernel in Odin and safestrap will work if you have it installed.

Can I flash any kit Kat kernel over lollipop BOC4? Or do I have to flash a stock KitKat image too?

If you had safestrap installed you flash a KitKat kernel right over your OC4 to get safestrap to boot up. Before your phone boots all the way up, go into recovery, and flash your ROM. Boot into download mode via safestrap, Odin the corresponding firmware.
I have used flashfire quite a bit to go up and down. The only problem I had is when I was on NGC. Flashfire wouldn't work for me. I'm no expert but this is how I've done it with flashfire.
1. Hit the plus, select firmware, only check boot and recovery.
2. Hit plus, select zip-ota and your ROM ( don't check auto mount)
3. Hit plus, select firmware again, check boot, recovery, modem, firmware. Flashfire will ask if you want them in separate zips, say yes.
4. Hit plus and wipe. Wipe all but SD card).
Arrange like this
1. Wipe
2. Firmware- boot+recovery
3. ROM
4. Firmware- modem+firmware
5. Firmware-boot+recovery
6. EverRoot - inject SuperSU
7. Reboot
I've gone to OA8, OC4, NI2, and NK2 with no problems. I'm getting ready to test NE9 but like I said I had trouble coming from NGC. Try at your own risk.
Edit: Just went from NI2 to NE9 Alliance ROM with no problems
I already tried factory reset via recovery menu. Kept me on 5.0.
1. Use ODIN 3.09 to install a stock 4.42 rom. I downloaded G900VVRU1ANE9_G900VVZW1ANE9_Home_VZW. (Samsung had to be prickly and remove the stock firmware from their site so I'm not positive I got the correct ROM)
2. Use Towelroot to root.
3. Safestrap.
4. Install a ROM.
Finally, I've been outta the game a little while ... Can I run a Kitkat Rom (Carbon) and a Lolipop Rom (Alliance) from the same setup? That is, can I just run safestrap and switch from stock Kitkat to Carbon to Lolipop at a whim, or do I need to do some kernel flashing or other stuff?

You have to downgrade to NGC, not NE9 to root. Find the full Odin tar here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...ment/stock-collection-kernels-modems-t2842069
Root with towelroot
Download SuperSU from play store. Update the binaries and reboot.
Download and install busybox from play store
Install safestrap.

cant use carbon rom or any stock android builds. Must use a T-Wiz rom.
Hello. I have a problem that I flashed the TWRP Recovery (so I could flash the xposed uninstaller, since the xposed framework doesn't work on my armeabi v7a). I was using Flashify to flash it. After I flashed I touched the reboot now button (without knowing that hitting an unofficial reboot button can make my tab on boot to recovery) and booted to the TWRP recovery and flashed the uninstaller. When I hit the Reboot System button, it booted to recovery again! I can boot to download mode, but can't boot the OS!:crying: Can someone help me fix it w/out loosing data? And also, I would like to know if I can update to the latest Android Nougat and have it rooted w/out also loosing data. Please, can someone help me?
UPDATE: I flashed the stock recovery using ODIN and now my tablet is working! :victory: Now, I ONLY need to know how can I update to Nougat without loosing root and data.
If you take the OTA update to nougat you should be able to update your system without losing your data. You may just have to reflash the SuperSU zip through twrp.
Being rooted now, it might not download the OTA update on its own. My tablet when I am on the QD1 MM build, will automatically download the OTA update for use at a later time. In your case you could download the OTA first and then do your rooting.
But I had this same problem under slightly different circumstances.
I used the Widget from the TWRP Manager app to reboot to recovery, and after I used that my Tablet would reboot to recovery and nothing else. I had to reflash the ODIN firmware to fix it.

So, you mean that if I unroot my tablet, then I could get the OTA update from the official samsung server?
Plus, if it's not the case, do you think I can use Flashfire to flash the firmware?

Yes because the OTA Update is only a couple hundred MB versus the 1.3GB size of the ODIN Firmware.
Or you can use the Samsung SmartSwitch PC app to get the official firmware downloaded and installed. But that program will just download the ODIN firmware for you which is over a GB.
Here is a link to the ODIN Firmwares available: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=154234
The build, " T350XXU1CQJ1_T350XAR1CQJ1_XAR.zip" is the Nougat 7.1.1 firmware.

One more question, the OTA detection for some reason it doesn't work. Now, I want to attempt an OTA update using FlashFire and I also selected the Modem firmware (13 MB) and the NON-HLOS.bin firmware (12 MB) and EverRoot enabled to inject SuperSU. Should I flash it like that?

I wouldn't use the ever root option. There is twrp and a supersu zip that can be used for the nougat build.
I'd let it remove root during the update and then re-root afterwards.
Hi, I updated my tablet using Smart Switch. It's working as a charm! Can you send me a link to get the twrp recovery for my tablet with Nougat? Merry Xmas!????
