Hi there all. I saw a looot if tutorials how to flash back to stock in orger to recieve upcoming OTA update.....
and i was wondering... is that true? After avoiding wareanty (by rooting device), is possible to re-avoid warranty by unrooting back to stock? Sounds weird heh? still a lot of developers on XDA say, yes you will recieve update....
i was rooted and then flashed back and recieved update from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4...
and after that, official support still think i will not recieve update....
So im looking for your advices to find a true... please argue here between you to achieve real truth because support should have true but it shouldnt same way....
what is your opinion and what is your expierence?

If I root my MyTouch and run the stock ROM that is posted here about 40 mb will I still get the ota updates then since the spl and recovery will be different.
id like to know this as well, but also for us who are running custom ROMS such as Cyanogens ROM
will we still get OTA updates?
Sorry everyone this was a really dumb question especially for me as I already know that answer. The MyTouch once is rooted will NOT get OTA updates since the keys will not match at all. You will not get any updates on the stock rom and espcially not on a modified firmware version

well that stinks, how will we update our phones when new updates to the Android OS come out? manually update/flash the ROMS again?
it does not "stink" not getting otas keeps us from getting our root taken away and our handsets re-lockdown'd.
hang out here and when an ota comes out, it gets modded and available for update.
HAHA, man what are those guys doing in this forum?
you got me.....haha........

That's the reason/joy for root...
Start asking your questions in the right sub-forum (Q&A) (Theme) or even in (General), or i will be forced to ban you for 3 days or till you learn.
Thanks

hey all,i own a HTC Desire and im from australia with telstra,ive seen that the update to android 2.3 is available on the developers site and was wondering if it is worth updating it,ive been told that my SMS and MMS could not work afterwards,what is the go with that? will i be affected? if so how would i fix this? if this dosent work can i go back to 2.2,and is this the final official update or is there going to be a proper one that dosent have any bugs or worries,also anyone from aus that has updated with this please tell me what its like.
Don't do it, the bootloader in the official release is locked. That means no root, no going back, no fixing anything that the update breaks. I think the update breaks more than SMS.
Try one of the many 2.3 custom roms in desire development, if you don't like it you can always change rom or go back to stock.
i havent rooted my desire anyway,i tried multiple times but it wouldnt work for some reason,ive tried 2 different ways to do it with no luck,well have u actually seen it it or tried it? coz ive heard some saying that it works fine,if i am going to 2.3 then i dont really need to root anyway
good day every one new here on HTC sensation, just got mine yesterday, question is how to update my sensation to 2.3.4 is it through the settings>about phone>software update? or HTC has a pc software app for our updates? sorry for being a newbie on Sensation was just so used to using flashtools,seus,pccompanion coming from my experience on xperia X10i, and one more thing I think you can update through the phone but is it safe I mean is there a possibility that i can brick my phone through the software update in my phone and last but not the least if I updated to 2.3.4 do we have a working root method for it or should I wait for the ICS update heard it will come early 2012 for our Sensation was planning to s-off,root,clockwork etc but I was thinking of loosing the ability to update my phone if ever the ICS roll out will come and plus I think I'm risking my phone in bricking it heard that getting s-on is kinda delicate procedure, what do you think guys?
Its actually pretty easy to s back on boss, no worries
yes being that you havent rooted yet you will be able to ota update with the steps as described by yourself. with no risk of bricking So no worries there
You will not be able to get the ics ota once you root, but again no worries our devs here on XDA work hard and quick, im sure ICS will be ported through the many ROMS made for the sensation, more than likely BEFORE the "official" release date.
Summary: go ahead OTA to 2.3.4 (once you doit will be easier to s-off since most guides to s-off are made for 2.3.4)
Root and s-off your device because its awsome
get ICS before "by the book" consumers

Hi, i own galaxy note LTE N7105, and decided I want to root. one thing though that bugs me, is people complaining over inability to update to new official OTA updates, since I want to keep my Note up to date with the manufacturer, I would really liked it if I can update.
Also, I want to root without flashing custom firmware. Can it be possible? Thank you.
edit : I own non carrier phones, So it is not locked.
How long will it take to wait for the root of this phone?
I have bought one but it really annoys me cuz it just can't be rooted. and you know the true interesting thing about android.
Anyone interested in find a way of root for this phone?

To gain root, first we need a custom recovery.
I have been trying to contact people on here that seem capable of making a custom recovery for this device, but so far no luck.
I have also been watching the Chinese forums for this device as well, but nobody there has a custom recovery yet either.
It will happen in time.. we had the same process last year with the M7 dual sim version. in the end we even had Enlish Roms flashed onto the devices... Im sure the same will happen here eventually.

Let's hope so ,but seriously people should avoid buying dual sim version of phones 'cuz it's always a trouble...
Hi, when you get English roms flashed on to the unit, does it mean you get OTA updates for that rom too?

Do you mean when you flash a custom rom, can you then get OTA updates from HTC? The short answer to that is no, you cannot receive official updates for a custom ROM.
If you mean that you wan't original ROM in English, then the original Chinese ROM does have English language, and with that you can of cause receive OTA updates. I think all original HTC phones have English language.
