[Q] Froyo 2.2 Question

Does anyone know if your device will still receive the official over the air update if it is rooted and still running 2.1 update 1? If not how can you unroot your device? Thanks in advance for any help that you can offer

I'm not absolutely sure, but I am pretty sure it should update just fine if you haven't flashed an unofficial rom. Even though your device is rooted.

No unofficial ROM running the one that came on just rooted to remove junk that I was unable to remove if I wasn't rooted. I hope it grab update since news is the push starts tomorrow for the Incredible If not then I am stumped since I have not been able to figure out how to unroot yet

Cool best of luck dude!
By The Way, interpunction is your friend. Just joking

[Q] when rooted android, can lose official android os?

hi i am newbie
I bought samsung galaxy note GT-N7000 (THL). now i just upgraded android os official from 2.3 to 4.0.3 official throught samsung kie software. I wonder. if i want to rooted this android 4.0.3, so when samsung release new official android os, so i can upgrade throught samsung kie like before?
another problem is: Which open source softwares can backup whole app and android os and kernal without rooted device?
thank you

I'm fairly certain that you can update your device through official forums once you've rooted it. You may have to root it again after the update though.
Also you'll only get over the air updates if you keep the stock rom and bootloader, if you install something like clockwork recovery you will not be able to get your updates.
I know that the premium version of titanium backup can backup data from your apps but you definitely need root access to back up the full app.
Spend some time reading through the forums for your device, try searching around a bit, you may find that a custom rom is appealing, in which case you can root, backup your apps and get a better device.
Good luck!

[Q] Upgrading to jelly beans manually

Hello guys.
I'm sorry for the noob questions, but I'm very new to the Android world.
I just bought an Asus TF700T and I decided to root it.
This wasn't possible as my device had JB installed, so I decided to downgrade it to ICS with a method that could keep it locked.
After that I rooted it without any problems
First of all my first question is this:
Is it normal that my tablet now is full of chinese applications? I downloaded the firmware from the asus site so I'm just wondering why it is like that and how to fix it
Also is it normal that I don't have the google play store application installed?
After this I wanted to know the correct steps to upgrade it again to JB keeping the root at the same time
Thanks a lot

Sounds to me like you flashed the Taiwanese firmware.

ye you are totally right...
I'm trying to install the WW version now.
Anyway after I installed it and rooted it how can I update to the latest version of JB?
thanks
Edit: I tried to download Root Keeper and to update it to JB, but the root is gone
So I'm stuck at the upgrading part

You need to install voodo before you update to JB, save the root and then temp un-root it.
If that doesn't work as easily as that (which it didn't in my case) then follow this guide

[Q] Soon To Receive, What To Do First?

Soon I will be receiving my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013 (White) hopefully Thursday 1/24/13
I'm familiar with the Samsung Galaxy line as I've own the S II and currently own the S III
Reading through these forums before I decided to purchase the Note 10.1, over the Nexus 10, I was excited to see so much development for this tablet. I'm guessing when I receive this tablet it will have ICS 4.0 installed, here is my question
What is the first thing I should to do the tablet when I receive it should I do an OTA to get it to JellyBean or would it be better for me to just root it and the flash a provided ROM in the forum to upgrade it to 4.1.2 via TWRP?
IMy guess is that I should not do any OTA and just root, install recovery and then flash a 4.1.2 ROM, for now I'll be sticking a stock ROM since I kinda like TouchWiz
Thank you in advance for all suggestions!

yes skip the ota part and root your phone once you get it.. then flash 4.1.2.. you can choose from the 3 custom recovery that we have here., twrp.,
zedomax cwm., and darkman_RS cwm..

I would say use your tablet stock for a few dayz just so u know could experience pure stock.. Its nice to see wat a device can do untouched. Than I would say update in a few dayz because if you like me I just love knowing I can do things to my device because once u fix up tge tablet u gonna become bored and wanna try more roms.. thats why I say play with stock for awhile. Once you go custom its boring using pure stock..

Thank you both for your suggestions
I can do the pure stock thing for a few days, with root of course!
Actually my main thinking was to run it with stock 4.1.2

Yep. I flashed a lot of different custom roms on my old tablet (asus transformer), but I've never really found the need to do it for this one. I'd advise you to root with the exynos exploit apk (because it's easy, but it might not be as safe), then use mobile odin to flash to 4.1.2 while keeping root. Then, with root, you can add multiwindow to all your apps with another apk available in the Themes and Apps section here!

If your stay stock on 4.1.1 why not just ota as its easier then root with exploit app? This is what I did, love touchwiz all I've done is made more apps available in multiwindow and rooted
