Do all roms update over the air or is it the user responsibility to do it. If the latter is correct, how do you update a rom.

It depends. If it is official rom then It can be Updated when Official update is available .. and If its custom Rom it should be updated manualy ...

Received update notification today, and I'm not running a stock ROM...

I always thought if you were not running a stock rom, you would not get updates pushed.
I'm running Dilligaf. I'm pretty sure since I'm rooted and running a stock rom that the update will fail.
Not sure what to do. Any recommendations, besides just living with the notification?
It's a sense Rom so it will tell you . Do you want the update or no?

Thanks. I don't know if I want it or not, because I don't know what is in it.
If it's for sideloading only, I don't need it, because Dilligaf already allows that.

I gathered that. I just want the notication gone... Last time an update was pushed, i was running a stock rooted rom. ATTN released a new rom with the ota update integrated into it. Loading that rom eliminated the update message.
Looks like I'll have to wait for Dilligaf to put the update into his rom...

[Q] Will rooted/flashed/ROM'd devices receive the new ICS update over the air?

Hey guys
My Nexus S is currently flashed with [CM7.1.0.1-N229] -=Nexus MV 10.19B=- |Fast&Stable|Ezekeel's Mod|Matr1x 9.0|
With the announcement by Google advising that all Nexus S devices will receive the ICS update, is there anything I need to do to my phone to receive this firmware update?
Do I need to restore back to default ROM etc, or can I leave as is?
Thanks for your help
Quentin
You won't receive the OTA, you need to be running stock for that.
Changes are that once the source is released someone will create an AOSP ROM faster than the OTA will reach you, so you could just flash that?
Greetz
don't worry
CM7 and other group will have ICS based-on ROM
so , only thing you may worry is how long you gonna wait
beside , you always can flash ICS stock ROM if you don't wanna wait anymore , don't you think ?
anyone have any idea on when the ICS update will come to NS4G?

what if my phone is rooted then i have backup of my stock rom. does my stock rom receives ota update? what do you think so?
You should receive an OTA if you restore the stock image and one is available.
Would you need the stock recovery if you do receive the ota?

Rooting is required to Install ICS..?
Hi.
Can I install ICS without rooting my phone...? My phone is unlocked...
Thanks
You will NOT receive an OTA update unless you're running Android on a stock unrooted device. The only way you will run Ice Cream Sandwich is if you find an ICS ROM but most of them are in alpha stages, meaning not suitable for daily use.

You'll receive the OTA on a stock rooted rom as well, just like every other OTA.

Unlikely. Most OTAs do not do an assert on recovery and flash without any issue with CWM. If you've modified anything it does assert though it will fail.

It won't install though so you still won't be able to OTA ICS.

Why wouldn't it? Every other OTA has had no problem installing through CWM on a rooted stock system. Unless this OTA decides to assert recovery for some reason (the only reason it would fail as it would then be trying to patch recovery).

[Q] Restoring to stock

Hello there! I had seen this guide here on XDA and was wondering if it were possible to restore to stock even if I had updated to .30 and then flashed this. Would it be easier to simply place the update file on the root and use the manual install method since this is basically stock with slight mods? I am using TWRP btw, and I wanted to know if this would work. With the JB update coming in a few days I really would like to prepare. And this seems to be the best way (via OTA) no? Thanks!
Your already unlocked. You won't be able to receive ota firmware updates. Best thing to do is wait for the devs to bring it to the unlocked community. They are pretty speedy about it you won't be waiting long.

I'll add to that...they are ready to pounce on the tf700-specific files and what we'll get out of it will far surpass the OTA. At least this has been my experience so far.

Thank you very much. I guess my basic question was would this method still work even after flashing .30 then changing to the ROM I posted about above. But what you're saying is it's not worth it?

Short answer:
Officially (at this moment),: NO - GingerBread is last update (versions V20 and V21) - full version list: http://wittgenstein.homeserver.com/P920/list.php?
Non-officially (at this moment) YES, there's an ICS version (V30) ported from another LG model (the korean version of Optimus LGP920) thanks to xbsall. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956347

[Q] Android update for custom ROM's.

Hi guys am using Nexus 5. And i have rooted it and flashed liquid smooth ROM. Now my concern is that wil i get lollypop update automatically as soon released by google? or should i haave to flash factory default ROM?
1. Does not belong in General section
2. There are threads regarding OTAs which can be found in the first thread of my signature, which is a sticky
3. There are dedicated Lollipop threads
4. No and yes
Why do people think they will get an ota from Google when they are running custom firmware?

Because they have no idea what they're doing. Why would anyone flash a custom Rom when they don't know what they're doing? That's what gets me.

Are you also concerned about updates when there are new versions of SlimROM? Or Paranoid Android? Cyanogenmod? You shouldn't be because those are ROMs that you're not currently using. In the end, the Google image is just another TOM.
Please follow the rules before opening a new thread.
