So I just received an OTA Update from Samsung today which is about 30MB but since my device is rooted it won't install the update. so my question is how can I install this update? can I extract the downloaded update to my pc and then flash it via Odin? or can I download the zip version and flash it using a custom recovery?

you have to download from www.sammobile.com flash with odin you will loose root
Can we get OTA updates through custom recovery in such a method?
Get OTA files from an unrooted S5 when it's ready to OTA and flash it to a rooted S5 through the custom recovery?
Is there a way to get the OTA files?
I have a rooted S5 and I just used Kies and it installed the update with no data loss for me ******still back it up***** Then I just reinstalled a custom recovery and SuperSU binaries to root.
I think you cant since stock rom OTA needs a stock recovery
Not only a stock recovery but also unrooting the phone.
Samsung OTA must do a rom check is quite annoying, while Huawei's OTA does not check whether you rom is modified but the files to be updated.
I have successfully rooted and unlocked the bootloader of my phone. i am on version 1.12.40.349_20150901. After that I flashed twrp recovery. Now i want to update firmware to marshmallow but i cannot receive any update due to unblocking. So please tell me how update to mm.
use adb sideload method, or update from sd card using stock recovery
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!????
I have rooted my device with Magisk through TWRP and now want to update my firmware. Is it possible if I uninstall magisk first and then flash the new firmware through Download mode with Odin while TWRP is still installed or will that work? And is there a way to do this and keeping root and/or TWRP? Thanks.
