The official ICS is already out?!
Also you can install OTA updates and keep root just install 'OTA RootKeeper' from the android market when you have successfully rooted your device
I didn't test it yet because I modded my stock rom too much and there wasn't an update >4.0.3 yet. But the app is from supercurio and will probably work well
you can flash a stock otA ICS 4.0.3 rom after rooting

Hi guys,
Wanted to ask if it's possible to lock back the bootloader for warranty claims since it was unlocked in the process of rooting the Nexus S & how do I go about doing so for this case? Thanks in advance.
Stan.
fastboot oem lock
FYI, if you've rooted the phone, locking the bootloader won't get rid of the Superuser package that was installed. You'll have to get rid of that too if you're worried they'll check your phone for that.

where do i find a stock rom.img as i didn't get to back that up before rooting my phone.

Also don't forget that "rom manager" on the market has stock 2.3.3 on it at the moment also. Should be able to get ota updates after that too.

I would need to purchase the full version? On my rom manager, to download roms need the full version to be present.

Yes. But after OTA root & custom recovery is out.
Have the Stock, Rooted AT&T version they just were selling at Best Buy. Don't attempt the OTA update. when I did this morning, the phone rebooted to the exclamation/android screen. thankfully pulling the battery let it boot back to normal. I may have to un-root in order to install 2.3.6.

That is called recovery, and it is how updates get installed.

Will the ICS OTA lock my bootloader??????
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
No. :thumbup:
it will replace cwm recovery if u have cwm recovery installed and replace with stock recovery
And if you are rooted, you will lose root privileges.
imo it isnt worth upgrading for.
I don't get it .. Why go to the OTA when we have CM9 ?
Exactly.

Hey guys. I have a rooted Galaxy S blaze and i am running on the stock t-moible rom. I didnt install clockmod recovery or anything like that, I installed Kies on my laptop and i saw it said new firmware was available. Can i install this or do i need to be unrooted??
U can but you'll lose root. But I'd Odin back to unrooted stock just to be safe

Thanks for the quick reply man.
Yea i do not want to unroot. I rooted it to get rid of the bloatware. Is there a root for the update? Im guessing its ICS so is there a ICS root?
Look through dev section
It's pretty easy to root ics

I have a question, I already rooted my phone and put a bunch of mods, tweaks, and root only apps and I am still on the stock firmware (I haven't flashed any Roms yet). So I wanted to ask if I will still get the OTA updates from Google, or will I have to flash them myself

My bad about the title, first time making a topic so I thought I am suppose to write it there and I now I don't know how to change
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
I believe your phone will still download the update, but you will need to flash them from your recovery. That's how I understand it anyway.
Having root permissions itself will not stop you from successfully installing an OTA but any modification will. You can read more about the requirements to receive an OTA update here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2523217
Thanks. That helped a lot
