I have a dev phone with the most recent jf update. My phone is prompting me to update with a holiday update or something like that. Do I need to do that? Or will it screw with jf update?
Thanks
***Update*** Its prompting me like every 15 minutes. Its driving me crazy!
either allow the update or get JF's 1.43
I went ahead and downloaded the OTA update, and I no longer have JFv1.41. Which is fine with me, since I have a dev1. I didnt use the multitouch or the auto-rotate anyway. As long as I have root, and tethering, im a happy man!
i have an evo rooted with 2.2.. i realise lastnight there is an ota from htc. if i update normally will i lose my root? i was almost going to flash the rom but i got lost in the radio update stuff and kernels etc.. i searched but i couldn't find a str8 answer.. ijust moved to android so i am a n00b.
You should update manually and not OTA if you are rooted. Otherwise, just rerun your root process afterwards if you lose root (this worked with unrevoked 3.2.1, not sure about other methods).
I am rooted using the Universal Xoom Root method. I am still running stock, only with SU and apps which require SU. Why can I not accept an OTA update? It seems like the worse that could happen is it overwrite the SU.apk and I need to re-root.
Thanks in advance.
I was wondering about this as well. I am rooted and am running Rogue kernel. I guess I'll just update and see what happens. Worse comes to worse, I will have to re-root.
Seems like the Xoom forums are quiet...did a lot of people abandon the device for the Galaxy Tab 10.1...When previous OTAs happened, the forums were chock full of chatter about to or not to accept the update.
Yeah, I just tried an OTA update and it wouldn't work. Got the Droid with exclamation point. Up + power put me back where I was.

same here. No dice on the update, just stuck at the install screen. On a positive note, the update notifications are gone. Damn those were annoying.
If you root, even without any additional custom ROM/kernel mods, you may receive notification of an OTA update but you should not accept it and try to install it. It will probably put you into a bootloop or worse.
If you wish to root, don't worry. Our wonderful developers are hard at work right now, configuring an update for the device...we'll more then likely get it before the official release comes out OTA.
Anyway, you can always revert back to stock if you really want the OTA update, but stock is boring.
place your unrooted backup on, take update and reroot.
if you don't have one, their are some around.
I keep a backup that isn't rooted with all my apps installed, then when update comes, it is real quick to restore, update and reroot ....

Yeah, diddo here with it not bothering me about OTA updates anymore after trying. It didn't put me in a boot loop, just the pretty droid screaming (exclamation point)
I have a backup from before I rooted, but what the heck, it didn't hurt anything, and I was just playing around.
Thanks for everyone's input.
Spoke too soon. The update is back to nagging me again. Errrrrrrr
Why can't they just push out ICS for the Xoom. Hell, they showed ICS on the Verizon Xoom at LeWeb this week.

Yeah, diddo. Mine started again about three days after I tried to install. I too am looking forward to ICS.

I unfroze all the apps I had frozen and tried the OTA and it still failed.
I am rooted with just the stock ROM.
Anything I am missing here?
I do not think OTA updates with the carrier is possible on a rooted phone. I know mine would not do OTA updates when it was stock, unlocked, and rooted. It would always fail.
No OTA updates will work on a rooted phone. If it somehow does work it will likely break your root privileges
ok that makes sense.
So did you just not do the update and how do I make it stop trying to update.
I might start running custom roms again. I have not done that in a long time.

You can do a OTA with root but you will just lose it. If you altered some system files it will fail or if you run a custom recovery it will fail.
I've had similar issues, on other devices, with ota updates not working because of root, and more specifically I believe, cwm recovery. Unfortunately I've had to use kies to update.

There was no option to update. Verizon pushed the update to my phone twice in the middle of the night without my knowledge or permission. In the mornings I would see the message that the update failed. I didn't want it anyway, and dislike the bloat, so I flashed to a custom ROM after their second attempt. No more OTA updates for me now. That's what happened with me anyway.
Yea I agree... I did not really need the OTA and I plan on installing CleanROM 5.6 tmr.
I just froze all that bloat back. I can't stand all that S***T running in the back ground.

Woke up to this on my phone this morning. Is it worth updating and does it bring any harm to chances of rooting?
allways worth updating.
i updated yesterday and used cf autoroot today first time. works.
Did you by any chance catch the update?
Because when you're rooted you can't update the official way anymore.
As i said before - read again:
Updated yesterday - rooted today.
Just checked mine now, the update appeared. Installing now.
