Lol.....the only thing is you can't update your phone OTA(over-the-air)...youll even be told that the ota can't commence coz ur phone is rooted ...what u do is simply unroot your device, go on with your update, when you're done u root again if u so wish.....Apart from that, there's nothing else to it

I though they said that if u unroot and then perform the update, the phone will still brick??

I thought they said if u try to play smart by unrooting and then performing the update your phone will brick?

Na true

I bought this fone with d belief dat Tecno had actually changed, and dat dey will eventually upgrade to at least android 6.0, but I guess some things will never change.

for those who have rooted and installed twrp recovery on their boom j8; how do u get to install OTA update? Also if your phone is rooted, is it that the OTA update won't download or it will download but not install?

Pls any custom rom?
