[Q]Stock ROM flash

Just a quick question guys.
1. the official ota updates from google only work with the stock rom right? does it matter if the phone is rooted or not? so if the phone is rooted, do the ota updates work?
2. if i want to get back from a rooted rom/cm7 rom/miui rum/... to a complete stock rom (with stock recovery, etc.) so total stock i just flash the official 2.3.6 version from google via recovery and everything is normal, right? so if i am back to the stock, the ota updates should work?
thanks guys

nobody?

Yes the OTA updates would work for a complete stock ROM even if you have rooted it, After the update you would have stock recovery and would lose root.

I think you need to be fully stock, ROM + Kernel. I might be wrong though.

[Q] Does rooting or installing custom kernels affect updates?

Hello all,
Does anyone know if you root your phone, or install a custom kernel, if it will affect Nexus updates in any way?
cheers!

Rooting no, custom kernel yes

root alone, no.
if you add a custom kernel, the updates will download but fail.

Thanks for the quick reply gents!

Will root get lost if the firmware gets updated?
Also is there a stock kernel flashable zip anywhere?

[Q] About dual boot

Ok so i have dual boot setup on my phone its runing a stock rom and francos kernel and i installed paranaoid android with multirom menager witch is also running francos kernel. and now the paranoid OTA is avalible so here is the question: can i let it flash trough the paranoid ota app or i need to download the ota update and flash it via TWRP in multirom options. im scared if i flash it trough the app it will mess up somthing on my stock rom.

Give out a go. It shouldn't mess up anything on your stock rom. You will have to reinstall franko after you flash
