Hi all, I just get my Nexus S and gonna root it.
I'm not sure if rooted Nexus S can get OTA updates in the future? (Just rooting, without ROM flashing)
U will still be able to get updates as long as u dont flash any custom roms but u will probably lose root an have to reroot it. Thats what happened to me when i got the ota for 2.3.1
yup, you'll get all the updates, you'll just loose root after every update.

Just in case this is where you are coming from OP before your Nexus S (like me), it's similar to an iOS jailbreak where you jailbreak it, then a new update comes along and you loose the jailbreak when you upgrade.
But I don't even know if you had an iOS device Just thought I'd add this in

I just got a notification on my phone about a new moto software update. Will it make it harder for my to flash, root, or mod my phone?
Everything is still stock on the phone i havent done any mods yet
The official bootloader unlock should work regardless, so no if you don't mind doing the official unlock method.
I've heard the exploit to get root without the official unlock has been closed, but I think someone else said they found a way around it. I don't know either way, I officially unlocked the device the day I got it
Is there a new update? post/after asa14?
Checked around but after seeing the old do this if you cant upgrade threads pop up I was curious.
Seen some traces of the 9.8.2Q JellyBean update for the Q, but don't know it's current status.
Interesting and good news, Just checked and mine stated not update available sadly..

Yeah, the motofail2go exploit to root works only if you haven't updated. After rooting, you can save root by Voodoo OTA rootkeeper, temp unroot, install any updates, then restore root with OTA rootkeeper. Works great, and you keep your warranty. But of course you can't flash any ROMs or anything, but you can still use Titanium backup, other programs that require root.

Hi guys,
I was wondering if rooting the phone interferes with the ability to receive OTA's?
I know OTA doesn't work with most other devices after rooting but I'm hoping it works with the OnePlus One as it comes with CM as stock rom...
Thanks!
Regards

Just got my Oneplus today. My experience through 4 updates is that SuperSU gets uninstalled, which unroots your phone. You just need to boot into TWRP and reflash SuperSU after the updates and you're rooted again.

As long as it installs the OTA I'm fine with reflashing SuperSU.
And judging from your reply TWRP also doesn't interfere with installing the OTA, great! :good:
Guess I'll be unlocking my bootloader (and having my phone wiped, damned) and rooting it.
Can't live without the Xposed Framework. :laugh:
Thanks!

could of searched and found the answer... question has been asked quite a few times. also there is a setting in SuperSu to keep root in upgrades. Either way OTA or just wait for a rooted version which you probably would get faster than OTA in most cases

Sorry for the noob questions, I've been looking through the tutorials and FAQs for hours, and am still not quite sure, so bear with me.
1) I would like to get a Nexus 5 from my friend. She is on Sprint. I am on Verizon. Will this work?
2) I would like to root the phone. It is upgraded to Lollipop. Still root-able?
3) Currently watching the Google I/O and Android M looks nice. Will I be able to update Android and keep root? If I lose root, will the Nexus always be rootable with every Android version?
Thanks all.
1) The Nexus 5 doesn't work on Verizon. Sorry.
2) Yes. You can root via a custom recovery.
3) The OTA will probably fail if you're rooted. Besides, going from Lollipop to M I'd probably do a clean install instead of an update.

No, it's not because the bootloader is unlocked.OTA are sent in "waves" so the servers won't get overwhelmed.So it's just a matter of time until you will gey it too.

Great ty what if phone was rooted would that stop OTA`s? Just curious im not rooted. Is the OTA suppose to be released with Gapps included do you know? There are an awful lot of people not being able to recieve gapps the right way. I hear location doesnt work and some other stuff but maybe thats a handful of people
I don't think the root prevent a device receiving the OTA,but it might cause the OTA installation to fail,so it's always best to disable root before updating.
I didn't used the OTA to update my device,so I can't say if there's any issue with it,but I know people that updated via OTA and it was all fine.
I have a rooted device with twrp recovery. Despite of what people think, I get this update. I just replace twrp recovery to stock and flash . This is amaze me. In general, my location also doesn't work also. There is solution?

That's what I was thinking.
If I odin the stock, am I wiping the phone again? I don't remember.
I don't want to restore the whole thing from scratch again after only a week or two.
U can odin without wipe, all of the data will remain.
