i have recently unlocked my boot loader and installed xposed followed by some useful tweaks. after hearing the announcement of andriod lollipop i was awestruck and now i feel guilty about rooting my mobile. can i get OTA update for andriod 5.0??? if yes what am i supposed to do before installing the update??? (i know it's too early to talk about it, but i can't handle my anxiety)
Find and flash a stock ROM... When the roll out starts just "un-root" using SuperSu's built in "un-root" option.

You will need to flash stock ROM, stock recovery and unroot your device in order to update to lollipop safely

Hello,
How does the upcoming OTA update (4.3) affect people with unlocked bootloaders and custom ROMs? I am new to this and this will be my first OTA update since rooting/unlocking.
Will I even get a notification requesting to update, or will it force me to update? And which should I choose? Will I have to re-root the phone after the update? Or can I even get the OTA update since it is rooted?
Sorry, I have a ton of questions, so if someone can just explain what is going to happen and what our choices are that would be great!
Thanks in advance!!!

I'll try to answer a few

It seems like the ota is delayed but who knows..
If you want to stay unlocked and rooted don't take the ota until a respected developer says otherwise.
You may or may not get a notification depending on your ROM or other system tweaks. If you are rooted only, you provably will.

The OTA will note affect you at all, you will not even be prompted for it due to running a custom ROM.
If your running a stock rom and have only rooted/unlocked, an OTA will break root and relock your bootloader.
If your running a stock rom/unlocked/and a custom recovery, you'll get prompted for the OTA, but it will not install, it will fail due to the custom recovery (twrp/cwm/etc).
You'll need to Odin to stock to receive an official OTA, but remember there is always a risk of an OTA breaking root permanently....
My advice is to stay custom, and flash a rooted custom stock rom that will surely be appearing here within a day or two of the OTA... But Verizon will probably not release 4.3 to us, and if they do it'll be at least 4 months...
Hi!
I'm from Germany and rooted my device (from amazon, retail). I know that I have to unroot my device to get the Adnroid 4.4 Update - but how can I unroot my device? Factory Reset? Wipe? And by the way - any german moto g have the 4.4 update already? is there an flashable version? and most important: can i root the 4.4 already?
merry xmas!

Hallo Pascal,
Unroot by installing the stock images again: http://theunlockr.com/2013/12/06/unroot-motorola-moto-g/
Nope, no German handsets have the update yet, US customers getting it first and even there the rollout is slow. Expect it in January as OTA or see next point:
Flashable version should be up in a few hours, there was a system dump and upload of the OTA, the devs are working on it. In this case, no need to unroot, just wait for the flashable version.
The root methods from 4.3 didn't seem to work, but you can flash SuperSU or Superuser from a custom recovery after flashing the OTA when it's available.
Merry Christmas to you, too!
Opps, reading too fast, understanding too slow - deleted
Hello Folks
This morning I noticed, Tmobile pushed a 60mb update to my phone. I am rooted and unlocked but not on a custom rom.
Please advice what I need to do.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Is there any issuse with the update
I have not updated. As I mentioned I am rooted and unlocked. Not sure what to do hence posted my question in the forum.
I do not want to lock the bootloader. Just curious to see what others who might have got this update are doing about it.

1. You don't have to worry about lock bootloader
2. Which Software version are you running? v10e, v10i or v10j?
3. If you update there is a way to downgrade cuz we have previews KDZ's
I am running version 10i,
I am guessing tmobile wants to upgrade me to v10j. Is there a flash able version for 10j that I can use?
Thanks

Ok, you can go here and update to the latest version v10j using @GameTheory. V10j Full update/pre-rooted/untouch TWRP.

dummy you can't update that way you must remove all traces of root which the app can't do use the KDZ
If you are rooted and it says system update DO NOT INSTALL IT... it will brick your phone

Plan to pick up a shield tablet and I'd like to run PS4 remote play on it. So far as I understand now (with the latest PS4 firmware and app), this is only possible with a rooted android running xposed and a Sony framework.
Does anyone know if this is possible on the Shield running Nougat? Can xposed be flashed on Nougat?
I've searched and most of the threads I find are long before the nougat update.
xposed doesnt work on nougat yet mte there working on it but its alot more complicated than other firmwares
OkThanks. I was worried that was the case. Edit: just realized this is true for more than shield, xposed is still in progress for all of nougat. Could be a while.
So when the tablet arrives I assume it will be on MM. Perhaps I can prevent the update to N and root it out of the box. Now I'll have to read on preventing the update I guess.
If you root MM, is there an update path to stock nougat later?

once you root you will have a unlocked bootloader and twrp installed so you can go for a custom rom or stay stock, but you can block updates in developer menu or just simply ignore them. your tablet might come with LP installed aswell mate
