[q] About fw upgrading after rooting
Hi,

Intend to root onyx tuc pro running v3.5 but can't find info about future fw upgrades exact procedure after rooting. How it can be done safely ? Should I disable stock upgrade and upgrade each time manually after rooting ?

TIA

If it is an incremental upgrade, you will have to restore the stock boot.img before upgrading, then reroot afterwards. I have not yet had a full upgrade, but I suspect it would not be necessary to restore the stock boot.img first (but it wouldn't hurt). You'd still have to reroot afterwards.

After you have unrooted, it does not make much difference if you upgrade manually or through Settings, Firmware upgrade.

Right now the TabUltraC is running 3.5
There seems to be a 3.5.1 for some models.

You can always grab 3.5 boot out of an update and Magisk it now,

Thanks ! I guessed too that no restoring to stock is needed before upgrade but re-root after is must have.
