OTA updates on rooted device - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If I am on stock rom on a rooted device may I install OTA Updates without bricking my xoom? Will it mess up my system or will I just loose root?
At the moment I am on Tiamat "Moray" and after each reboot I'll have to make my micro SD read/write able manually ...
Is this a "problem" with "Moray" or will I have the same "problem" when I'm on an actual stock rom?

running the ota on a rooted device will not do anything. The update checks to see if stock and when its not it aborts. If you want to update check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1278214
Remember that, that is for us wifi xooms only.

Thanks a lot - I didn't know that!

Now you know, and knowing is half the battle!!

HELP! Error at OTA Upgrade (rooted Sensation)?

Hi,
I rooted my HTC Sensation a few weeks ago as described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300.
(I also wrote SuperCID).
I then tried an OTA Upgrade from my Carrier. The Phone rebooted and now it shows this screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It's been like this for about half an hour can anyone help me pls?
Would be very much appreciated, i'm kind of breaking a sweat right now
Problem solved itself, took the Battery out, replaced it and it booted.
Update isn't installed.
Feel free to delete this thread
You are using a custom recovery, that is why the update can't install you need stock recovery.

Lenovo S580 official firmware upgrade crash - help with the warranty

Dear users,
i have strange crash problem after upgrading my official rom on Lenovo S580 phone. The phone crashed while updating on the newest version of stock firmware, and now the device boots only into the recovery mode. I have never used a custom ROM on this phone. The last option on the picture that is below is something i have never seen before - it says "system partition check", and after i run it i get a report "system has been root". Does this mean that my phone is rooted? It is still under warranty so please advise me if my warranty covers this kind of problem. Thank you all in advance.

The lastest Jailbreak was released only after the patch was done on FW 5.14.3. If wish to explore this possibility go ahead else try latest JailBreak.
For instructions click here
There is another jailbreak working with FW 5.13.3 or lower.
{Mod edit: Hyperlinks removed; please refer to here.}
Any other possibilities of JB latest FW?
There has got to be a way to reflash the chip with the bootloader on it, or to flash the nand manually with an older version.

Click to expand...

rollback protection is your arch enemy now.
updates are not forced if you click later in popup.
lineage custom rom for it will be best.
reboot your device for fixing more towingnyc.us
