If i update my phone to the new HTC software version 4.54.651.1, will it mess up anything on my rooted phone? Rooted only apps or functionality or anything??
Assuming you don't have any custom rom installed, I think all it will do is unroot you and you'll just have to re-root your phone again. I could be wrong though.

I'm new to the Android platform but have Jailbroken and Unlocked three iPhones in the past.
I'm planning to root a new Samsung Epic maily remove the bloatware Sprint installed and to improve the phone's performance. What I'd like to know is if root access will remain if and when the phone is updated to Froyo?
This may happen two ways: an official update from Samsung/Sprint or a custom ROM. I'm assuming a custom ROM or Froyo ROM would still be rooted, but what about an official update from Samsung?
Thanks for any help!

Once you are rooted you never go back unless you manually unroot.
Any official update will unroot so wait til you have confirmation that root will be possible before applying any official update.

hey people, i rooted my samsung moment to 2.1 and im loving it, most of the time... and my phone has recently alerted me that i have a new system update, i had a choice to install the update to my phone but i dont know if i should install the update if i rooted my phone, will it be ok to update my phone even though its rooted??
will updating OTA from a rooted phone will unroot my phone automatically ?if yes will it delete everything ?
now i have stock 2.1 update 1 and root and want to update to official 2.2.1 ota
nobody know this?
Official updates will usually unroot you but you won't lose any of your apps or data.
If you want to root again after the update you can, but SuperOneClick seems to be the only 1-click method that works on 2.2.1.
i know unrooting is possible with RUU but i dont know if it is possible with update OTA , so will updating OTA will unroot my phone ?

aha thx ,i dont know if superoneclick roots the wildfire at 2.2.1,only for the other phones
Hey all!
I've got an Nexus S 4G running Gingerbread on Sprint network. I rooted it using oneclick root and free myself from a whole lot of bloatware.
Now, Sprint is trying to push ICS update to my phone. Can I update manually with my already rooted phone, or will I have to unroot, update, and reroot the new version?
I think this thread addresses the same (or at least similar) thing, hope it helps:

I had to flash a stock Gingerbread ROM, which unrooted my phone, and then I was able to get the OTA ICS update. I'm on AT&T though, not sure about Sprint.
I rooted my phone by following this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1559685 guide, but I decided that I don't need to root my phone, so I flashed .58 firmware once again, updated it to .62 and now I want to update my firmware to ICS, because it was on my phone before I rooted it and when I connect my phone to PC, PC Companyon says that my phone is up to date. How to fix this?
Look if you have installed a branded firmware
