Hi all.
I'm rooted on my LG G Pro 2, Hon Kong version, but I didn't installed any custom recovery. Now my device says I can upgrade to lollipop via OTA.
If I haven't any custom recovery, do you know could I upgrade by OTA without fear??
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
rooted device can not be upgraded via OTA... no matter you installed custom recovery or not..
it goes the same for every android devices..

Curious... On the OTA upgrade to D83810d from previous version I was rooted too. And not only OTA went fine but I even didn't lose root. That's why I was wondering...
Thanks.

I've rooted my moto G and attempted to install CWM but i think that the stock recovery has flashed itself back, this is because i can only access CWM via the ROM manager. I'm still running the stock ROM that came with the phone but i've removed some apps, will this effect me updating the phone to 4.4 kitkat once i receive the update? Thanks in advance.
It could. It depends on what got updated.

It depends on several factors. If you have an unbranded phone, then you shouldn't have an issue. You should still be able to get the OTA updates.
Hi,
I have been trying to update my phone to 4.4.3 but not very successful so far. I'm using custom Android HD ROM 7.0 by Mike. I tried flashing stock recovery then applying the OTA update that I found in this thread. However, my phone stays 4.4.2 after flashed. I am using T-mobile on a Verizon phone and don't get any OTA notification either, so I was trying to flash it manually. Help!

The OTA will only succeed if your phone has pure stock. The OTA is not a full ROM but a patch system that builds upon previous content already on the phone. If you want to take the OTA, you must flash full stock first.
Hey guys,
I have the Moto G and i unlocked te bootloader, did an custom recovery and rooted the device and i had a custom rom. But i got back to stock with this GUIDE and i got no rooted device and no custom recovery but i still have the unlocked bootloader, i also have a other stock image of the moto then normally! (I have the 210.12.32.falcon_umts.Retail.en.US version) and i need the global gsm version xt1032 if i am right. But my question is, can i get ota updates now? because i want android L!
Thanks already.

Sorry for bad english
Your warranty is just invalid but you'll be able to perform an ota update. If you have doubts flash a stock 4.4.2 firmware and update it via ota, I'm sure you'll be able to do it. You'll enjoy Andoid L, don't worry

Having an unlocked bootloader has no adverse effect on the ability to update via OTA. You can even be rooted, although, you will more than likely lose root upon updating, which shouldn't be too difficult to get back. The only things that would affect updating via OTA is if you have a custom recovery, or if you've modified/deleted any system files/apps.
Wondering what the OTA update is after installing the stock debloated and rooted 20f for my AT&T D850. It is 5.0.1. Is there a later phone software available from ATT? I assume if I install I will lose root?
Thank you!

If you install while rooted it'll either tell you no or result in boot loop. If you have twrp it's not gonna work. You have to be stock to take an OTA update.

Hi,
I´m on 6.0 rooted with TWRP and would like to update to Nougat without setting up my phone from scratch.
Does this work?:
Flash Stock Bootloader. (Does it have to be the exact same one from the Stock rom version i have?)
Unroot with Supersu
Receive Ota Updates?
Or how would you do it?
Thanks in advance

Hi mate
I am assuming you have a root stock firmware....
Check this thread , it explains how to update stock firmware without losing anything..... BUT you will have to install TWRP and root afterwards
