Hey guys i have a TF101G still on original Asus android honeycomb 3.2.1. I'm waiting for the OTA ICS update, but i was wondering if i will be able to do it, beacuse i rooted the tab with nachoroot.
I just have Superuser, no clockwork, no modded roms etc.
Thanks for any help
Are you asking if you can install the official Asus update via OTA? If so, I don't see why not but you'll have to wait for them to release it. If rooting is the only thing you've done then OTA updates should install fine but you will lose root after the upgrade. I would recommend you wait for a custom tf101g rom to come out.

So long as you did not remove (or freeze) any pre-installed apps and still have stock recovery it should update. You may want to grab the VooDoo OTA Rootkeeper to back up your root and then run it after the update to restore root. You will probably have to use Titanium Backup to restore permissions to SuperUser. The other option is to do NachoRoot (or ViperMod Option 1) after the ICS update.

Never got an OTA notification after unroot from pure root (TW version)
Unroot to 8.4.4.5, check update, no OTA update
Update to 8.4.4.11 from microsd, check update, no OTA update
Pure root and unroot directly to 8.4.4.11, check update, still no OTA update
Is it posible to update to 3.2 from microsd right now ?
update: do wipe data, check update, still no luck
ever get it? I just unrooted and am not getting ota either....
I'm guessing it's related to /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip. I don't know how you reverted to stock, but if that file wasn't correct for your box then you probably won't see updates. Can you download and unzip and restore just that file from one of the known ota updates? Make sure the permissions are right, probably 644.

I just received my Asus back from being repaired for light bleed. It still has bleed but what can i do? It came back loaded with 8.6.5.9. Should I try to OTA update to 8.6.5.13 and root with the universal root? It is a B30 rooted previously.
Thanks
As far as the light bleed...I would say let it go. Most of us are dealing with the light bleed as well....its not a great thing but it really isn't a big deal either. Be happy that you have a TF that's rootable at this point. The root kit v7.1 claims to be able to root 8.6.5.x. So if all you want is root, then go ahead and update first, then root using that method. If you do not install clockworkmod recovery, you may be able to receive OTA updates, but will loose root and will have to be re-rooted. Another option is to root, install clockworkmod recovery, and update via a zip flash posted in the dev section. Once you install clockworkmod reovery, you won't be able to receive OTA updates and will have to rely on getting a cwm recovery flashable zip for updates. Or you can root, ainstall CWM recovery, and install a custom rom, which they will always include the latest OTA update builds. Its up to you.
Thank you. I should have known, but I did not know that the CVM was the reason I could not OTA update. I always thought it was the root itself.
Thanks for this info. I'm on it.
Yes you should be able to get it to work correctly

Thanks frankc123. Did it. Rooted and back in business!
If i root my phone BUT keep the stock rom, can i still receive OTA updates?
If i can get OTA updates, will it fail at any point because i am "rooted"?
How do I root?
thanks

Root but left stock = OTA update
Rooted but change any system files or install other rom = NO OTA update
[Note: You can backup rom first in CWM and go back to stock at any time you want.]
How to root = look at my signature for link
I ota updated this weekend from Eaglesblood 2.4, which is cm 2.37. I just wanted the new baseband. Now, it did wipe my phone completely stock, even erased my nv flashed cwm.

Yes, but installing a new ROM will deactivate OTA's. Either way, rooting and installing a ROM is always newer than OTA's either way.
If I root the latest stock 4.4.2, will I still be able to get future OTA Updates without braking the root or custom recovery, well if root gets lost I can always root it again. Just asking, maybe I won't be able to get OTA Updates at all after rooting but I don't know so that's why I'm asking it here.

The OTA will download but not install. You need stock recovery AND any system file that is updated by the OTA needs to be stock as well otherwise OTA install will fail.
Plenty of threads on XDA speak of this.
If you look at the OTA updater file you will see if uses MD5 (or similar) to check each system file it updates to make sure its as it was originally.
When you root it alters some system files.
Best thing is to install custom recovery and take a backup before rooted. Then root. When you get an OTA just restore backup and flash stock recovery. Then OTA will re-download. Let it install, then flash custom recovery and re-root.
Thanks, well I'll just stay unrooted and make the best out of it, the Moto G is just as amazing as Motorola developed it to be.
No stock recovery it's no need. I updated last ota with Philz recovery without problems.

Do you mean you downloaded OTA and flashed manually via recovery. You can do that I agree, but what you can't do is let OTA install naturally the way Motorola intended.
No. I had Philz recovery. System stock partition. Downloaded ota normally, reboot like ota update ask, phone reboots in philz recovery and this last flash ota automatically without any problem. There is not need to reflash stock recovery or flash ota update manually with custom rec, only need a non root stock system partition. I dont know if stock cwm or other rec like twrp work in same way but i doubt, always used only philz recovery.
You do not need stock recovery, I don't know who made this stupid rumour up. I use twrp and it flashes fine.

I just got my Shield Tablet and rooted it. I keep getting two OTA notifications, one says ROM Update the other says Tegra Update. Will I keep root of I do the OTA updates?
I'd like to get a recovery added, but it seems that all the recoveries are incomplete. Is there a method to install recovery without a separate computer?

You can try the paid version of SuperSU to preserve root or the THT Rootkeeper (the other big root keeper doesn't work past 4.2) If you update the device to the official OTA, you will need a PC to reflash the recovery but you will not need to unlock the bootloader again.
