I have a HTC inspire 4 G with a stock rooted rom and I received that there is a system update. So my question is do you go a head and let it do the update or do I have to find a new rooted rom to apply with the update. Also if I let it do the update will that unroot the phone as well?
I'm fairly sure this has been answered, and a quick search would give you your answer, but since I need to get my post count up in order to post in the Dev section, I'll tell you that the update would likely fail, it doesn't run on rooted roms. You can flash the updated stock rom, but that will definitely undo your root.
What a wonderful way to increase one's post count!!!!

If I root my MyTouch and run the stock ROM that is posted here about 40 mb will I still get the ota updates then since the spl and recovery will be different.
id like to know this as well, but also for us who are running custom ROMS such as Cyanogens ROM
will we still get OTA updates?
Sorry everyone this was a really dumb question especially for me as I already know that answer. The MyTouch once is rooted will NOT get OTA updates since the keys will not match at all. You will not get any updates on the stock rom and espcially not on a modified firmware version

well that stinks, how will we update our phones when new updates to the Android OS come out? manually update/flash the ROMS again?
it does not "stink" not getting otas keeps us from getting our root taken away and our handsets re-lockdown'd.
hang out here and when an ota comes out, it gets modded and available for update.
HAHA, man what are those guys doing in this forum?
you got me.....haha........

That's the reason/joy for root...
Start asking your questions in the right sub-forum (Q&A) (Theme) or even in (General), or i will be forced to ban you for 3 days or till you learn.
Thanks

Hello All;
I am new to the smartphone world and I recently rooted my TB with a Stock Rom; now that I am rooted how would I maintain an up to date phone?
Is there a way to sign up for new update notifications from this site, or do I need to keep up with blogs, chats, and the internet on my own?
Note: I have had two questions that I posted on this site and both of them have been answered/very useful.
Thank you all in advance!
I may be completely mistaken but I believe it is up to you to watcth the forums and find a blog to follow.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Up to date according to Verizon or the developers here? XDA is pretty much bleeding edge in terms of radios and operating system updates.
Ok, this what I need to know. Thanks!
Ok, thanks. I just dont want to fall behind the ROM race.

Now that your rooted if you want to remain on a rooted stock rom, just wait til you see a blog on here about a new thunderbolt update (MR2 for example)
Then give it a day or 2 for someone to release the update in a rooted version, in a thread in the thunderbolt development section that looks like this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160374
[ROM] Official 1.70.605.0 MR2 OTA Deodexed Rooted Busybox
which is for rooted users follow the directions on flashing using cwm and then flashing the new radio file if there is one, through hboot.
you will then maintain root while still getting the latest ota's.

Thank you for taking the time to explain to me the process; direct me and I will take it from there.
Unfortunately you're going to see a number of old threads for ROMs with dead links. Most of what you're going to need is here. The newest radio isn't, that I've seen. And I'm not sure there's any gingerbread builds based on the newest leak are here either. If I'm wrong, someone correct me. If you find a locked ROM thread, just Google the name.
Glad you've joined the community and we hope to be as helpful as possible.
Hi Guys,
Sorry if this is the wrong area as i am new.....
I am currently starting to get into bulding roms etc, but i am wanting to revert to stock however i cant find one for australia. Is there any issue using a stock ruu from a diferent region, and if so what are they?
I have ICZ at the moment and want to wait for the OTA update to start modding that, and just want to be able to go back to GB for now.
Also to install an ruu should it be done directly from phone or via pc and usb connection?
I am thinking of installing a runnymede rom from europe. Does anyone have any suggestions as to if this will allow me to get the proper ICS OTA upgrade? Or any ideas on how to install a stock rom in australia??
Thanks very much, John
Find you phone in the forum and go to development post your topic there or in the help section of that phone section.
Thats the best i can do
Got a 3113, rooted. Was greeted this evening with an OTA update (no info on the update regarding version numbers). It's currently 'postponed' as i can't find any reference to it anywhere and i don't want to lose root.
Has anyone installed it? Is it safe? Or am i just being overly cautious...
Download root keeper and apply. Then your golden!

Hey Guys,
I wanted to ask a quick question. I am currently running LeeDroid's rom and I am done with it. I want to go back to what comes with original rom with ATT. I have HTC Inspire any recommendations where I can get it? I tried searching the forum but all the stuff seems from the begining of the year. I am not sure if there is something more recent. I really appreciate your help.
Thanks

If I understand you correctly, you could just use the Ace Advanced Hack Kit (you're gonna have to Google for it, the developer pulled his work from XDA and thus it would not be proper to link to it) to unroot and flash back to the stock ROM, then use the Software Update to update to the latest version. Alternatively, Gizmoe has taken the latest stock ROM update and rooted it. You could always flash that and keep root, if you wish.
It was the first ROM on the I4G's developement page. Jeez peeps, search for it

It's not pure stock, bloatware is gone, there's some tweaks, and you retain root.
If you want to lose root (not sure why anyone would), you can download the update package from HTC. You'll probably lose everything you have , but you'll be on 100% pure stock.
Installing OTA update if you're rooted doesn't work
tried it, update does not launch, but again, why would you
