so the new ota update is out
my s3 has stock ics and doesnt have the bootloader unlocked, it does have root access
now I assume from other people posting the update does break root acces
so if I update can I just reroot with this and everything will be fine?

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 ?
Already answered.
aha thx ,i dont know if superoneclick roots the wildfire at 2.2.1,only for the other phones
Does anyone know for sure if you can get OTA updates if you uproot and reset your tablet? Or is Knox being tripped the thing that causes you to not get OTA?
Thanks.
Depending on root method and version of recovery installed these tablets may complain that they're modified and refuse to update. Fundamentally though the cardinal rule of rooting Android devices is NEVER blindly search for and apply OTA updates once you're rooted unless you know what you're doing. There's no guarantee (other than Nexus devices) that a manufacturer isn't attempting to patch a root exploit as part of their OTA so there's risk of not only losing root but losing the ability to root in the future.
Here's another recent discussion on your question.

Just as an update, after unrooting and doing a factory restore on the tablet, it's still considered "modified" and won't download OTA updates. I guess it goes off knox being tripped. That's to bad. I was looking to sell mine, gonna be harder now.
My understanding is as long as your rooted with stock recovery you will still receive updates, my note 2 had knox tripped but was rooted with stock recovery and I was able to get AT&T kit Kat update.

Doesn't seem to be the case with this tablet.
I have stock recovery, unrooted, and did a factory reset. It won't let me get OTA updates. Granted, I can still get them from Kies.
I could be missing something though, not sure what.
Hello all,
I have an LG G3 that is rooted. Upon opening the box and turning it on, I got a message that says hey man update is ready. So being excited to have my new phone I was an idiot and hit update, not thinking that the new update from 10b to 11c would make it nigh on impossible to root. Whoops....so after a few days I was finally able to use LG flash tool to downgrade to 10b and used stump roots brute force method to root. I have SuperSU installed and I have survival mode enabled, but when I go to do the OTA update i get error 0x1111004 and the update fails. I have read on other forums when searching for a root method that there people who flash all or even just the parts of an OTA update that they want with no danger of losing their root privileges. So my question is, how do I accomplish this myself?
Thank you in advance for any help!

I'm assuming you have Verizon by the updates you quoted, if not do not do this.
Go to the Verizon g3 general forum and look for my thread titled "stock IMG files". There is instructions to flash certain partitions.

So I rooted my device with Towelroot. I checked that it was rooted and I used my device for sometime and then I thought I really didnt need root so I unrooted my device through superuser. I used an app called root checker and it said that my device didnt have root permissions. So now I need OTA updates and it says that my device had been modified in an authorized way? Did I unroot it properly or is there another way to fix this or unroot my device. I am looking forward to your replies.
Thanks!
Just got the OTA reminder and wonder if I can update that way but keep the root?
I dont think you can upgrade while rooted.
Ohh I see. I was under the impression that it was possible, but depending on what the update was updating you could or perhaps wouldn't lose root
You can't update while rooted through OTA.
Besto option is to use a pre-rooted firmware.
