Hello,

I will have a ue40f7000 and I will root it for sure but I want to keep skype working, so I think I will update firmware to 1119 and use "new" root method.
Before trying I would like to know if it's possible and safe or I should keep old firmware without skype working.

Thanks.

Keep old firmware, make Skype working and use new rooting method :) Updating won't fix Skype :) only reseting smart hub apps will :)

Just to be sure: new rooting method also works on old firmware?
If yes that's cool!

thanks

PS: and yes I will disable OTN in extended service menu.
