When the ota update comes out, do i havebto unroot before downloading it? Or do i just need the stock rom and kernel?

You need to UNROOT
But why unroot if these great devs are going to take that update and give it an update of their own lol (Make it better)

ok im pretty new to android and this site so don't be to harsh but if i root my evo and flash a different rom will i still get the official ota updates from sprint/htc? and if i accept the update will i just have the stock rom and no root? because i want to flash a gingerbread rom to my evo because i don't feel like waiting for the official update and then when the official update comes i want to get that and loose the root. so if someone can clarify what happens if i accept an update with root+custom rom it would help a lot.
You will no longer receive OTA updates if you use a non-stock version of Android.
Keep in mind, loading a non-stock ROM on your phone will void your warranty. Be sure to unroot your phone and put a stock ROM on it before you return your phone if you have to for any reason.
Ok thanks

after reading the forums im getting different answers as a whole. I have a rooted tb and im running the blackhole rom... i should probably not check for or accept any updates for my tb right? because 1. it could unroot 2. it could brick it 3. it could just mess it up? are any of these possible or correct. thanks
I would not accept or check until the Devs have said it is ok if you want to stay rooted.
Most roms on rooted phones will not accept the update even if it shows up. It will tryto install but most likely fail because the signatures dont dont match...
you will be fine.
when it comes out the devs will have a rooted version..
You most likely will be running the update well before it's OTAed.

+1 gingerbread is a good example of this.
And if you tried to flash a stock ota update while rooted, you will lose root.
Just wait for a dev to post rooted version then just flash in hboot.

You don't need to worry about it. The new das bamf rom will look like th enew update anyway (actauly probably better) so just enjoy that for a little bit until the devs come out with a fix
Isn't an OTA usually an entire RUU? New hboot, new radios, new ROM? Or at least new radios and ROM. I think you could lose your S-on, couldn't you?
Ok, Forgive my terminology... Graphics guy here.. If we are rooted and S-Off and running the stock rom. How to we update to the new OTA to fix the random reboots etc and stay rooted? Do the devs release a special version after Verizon starts releasing it?
I have a 2 month old Moto defy in India. Things were good till I updated to the official froyo update. Now the GPS does not work. This, I believe is a widely reported issue.
With no official updates in sight, the easiest thing to do would be to root and install a custom rom. However that would void the warranty and any claims that I may have to make at a later date.
I understand that if I install the GB roms, I can not go back.
Is there a way that I root, install some custom froyo rom and in case I need to return the phone revert it back to the factory state?
yes.you can root it & return back through stock system recovery.
Can you please point me how to go about it?

why don't you try cm7. its GB and you can still go back.
I remember reading somewhere that you can't go back from gb. Is it only for the official leaked gb?

no, its not official, its a mod on froyo base, so you can go back. but this is a dev forum, please post threads here about development, everything else goes in defy general!
Thank you for the help.
Of course root. Unroot is easy and you still can return to stock rom after flashing custom rom.
Thanks everyone. Rooted and installed cm7. Snappy. Great going so far.
I am currently rooted on 2.2. What is or is there any benefit to now taking the OTA to 2.3.3 and then reverting and rooting? If i did revert would i ultimately be ending up with the same 2.2 system? Thanks, seems like a simple question but don't want to do duplicate work. i couldn't find a clear answer in other posts.
I just did my dudes shift and if you unroot take the ota then downgrade to root, your gonna end with the same thing you started with=a rooted evo shift, it dosent matter what version they were rooted on, its still rooted and you will gain nothing by updating to downgrade, you can already flash a GB Rom with a new radio.

Thank you very much!
Just got upgrade from Captivate to SGS2 Skyrocket and itching to root, but heard ICS is coming from carrier soon (whenever that is), will I still be able to get the update OTA? or will I need to unroot and then try OTA update? or do I use the Keis on PC.
You would have to unroot and restore the stock rom before you could get the carrier update. I am going to probably root my i727R Rogers just because the carrier update will come with so much bloatware and still have the touch wiz on it

...don't you just Root again and remove bloatware? How will I know carrier is ready to update me unless I UN root.
As far as i know if your just stock rooted then you will see the update and just lose root if you do update. Release dates will depend on version. You can always check the forums to see if a stock ics (no leak) has come. It will be plastered everywhere. If your on custom rom then again just check the forum, go back to stock, update, and done.
