question about rooting and ota updates

im on my stock rom and stock everything just rooted... i do have clockwork recovery though. question is does this prevent me from getting ota updates or not? i have read various things saying that if you have a custom recovery installed it will prevent the install of the ota update but you still get the file ota.... Also, if it does work to install an ota update will i lose root? thanks

Its always recommended not to flash an OTA over a rooted ROM as it can bugger things up

you are able to receive the OTA, but it is strongly recomended not to

thanks guys , anyone know when 2.3.4 will be released for US version???

I highly doubt anyone does. We don't even know the date of the maintenance updates yet.

About OTA updates now that root has been released.

Hey all,
I immediately blocked any OTA updates since I got my G4 in anticipation for root.
I have three questions
Do the AT&T OTA updates have that anti-rollback feature? I didn't see it confirmed in the thread regarding the anti-rollback but I'm not sure if the info is current.
Is the latest OTA for AT&T the 10g version? Should I enable OTA on my LG G4 now to get it prior to rooting?
Thanks.

So far as i know..no anti-rollback features..
As stated of some members here, latest ota updates doesn't affect rooting...for now

10g is the latest as of yesterday (before I rooted and blocked OTA). If you absolutely can't wait for root, then unfreeze the update apps and get the 10g OTA. If you're on 10e, there's a strong likelihood that you will softbrick your phone if you try to flash the rooted system.img (at least a couple people already did). If you can wait a couple of weeks, just hang tight and wait for codefire to release their one-click unroot since we still don't know about rolling back the bootloader or future unlockability of the 10g bootloader.

I'm on 10g and rooted. I have no intention of running a non stock rom on this device, so blocking updated with Tit back up now, removing bloat and coasting with what I've Got till we find out about a method for custom recoverys yet.

Could someone link me to the thread on how to disable the OTA function? I remember seeing it, but can't find it.

Can you or someone else please list the app(s) that need to be frozen in order to block updates? Thanks in advance.

Should I OTA update? Software info inside

I suppose it's only been about a couple months since I rolled back to factory, unrooted then rooted again, flashed TWRP and did another Debloat session with this phone so my question is from
5.0.1 Android
Kernel 3.4.0
Build LRX21Y
Soft D850211
Should I bother doing all this again to accept the OTA? Of all the things I've learned about phones I've never learned how to properly evaluate an update so if anyone can point me in the right direction as to maybe some reading material I'd appreciate that too You guys are numero uno.

I don't know of D850211. If you are on 21q, the OTA is 21r and is the patch for stagefright. However it seems some people are having issues with the 21r update so it is really up to you.

I appreciate that. Anymore insight would be nice

[Completed] Will I lose foxify ability when installing newest software on Verizon s7edge?

Currently running Android 6.0.1 on Verizon s7 edge. With September 1st security patch. I want to keep my hotspot with foxify capabilities but I don't know if newest update will prevent that and would like to know if it will or not. Also would like to know if there are any rooting possibilities for this phone with that firmware and security patch available at the moment. I didn't mean to update the September's but I stuck it in my pocket and it must have touched my body and did it by itself. Thankyou for the help.

Root - May 2020 Security Patch

Hello, everyone, I have the Samsung Galaxy S10e - model no. SM-G970F running the latest May 2020 security patch on Android 10. Would anyone know the best way to root and TWRP recovery it? I am looking for a 100% full-proof way if it is available. Thank you

Доброго времени суток! Посмотрите на 4pda.

Don't update to this ROM if you want to possibly mod your S10e any time because once you go to May 2020 you cannot regress to an earlier ROM.
Mine is a work device so I have updated but there was a warning in the notes that this is a feature.
I guess this is the point where Samsung start locking you out of modding it. Just don't go there if you care about that.

I was already updated to the May 2020 psych before I posted here - so, I can't go backwards anyways. Is there a way to root it, though?

i updated to may 2020 and was rooted with magisk and twrp but am now back to stock as i think samsung has put something in their latest update? !! - had nothing but problems, screen flashing totally unresponsive not sure whether rom was at fault or magisk needs updating ? or maybe twrp dont know but might try and go back to ct9 as that was stable, definitely something not right. update- once your updated no going back! nice samsung! take my freedom while your at it!!

all good now, was a little rusty! rooted once more, I flashed may update with April twrp! didn't realise it(twrp) had to be updated each time, thanks to the xda member who put me right

if I'm not mistaken, fanep wished you a good day and wrote that you take a look at 4pda website (google it, i can't link it).
don't know if it's an ad or he was trying to help you
