Wife has the Sprint version, and it's got an update.
No one on the Sprint forums working on it, so how do I go about this if I'm rooted and S-Off?
Just take the update?

flash the oreo RUU, will put you to stock,will also wipe your internal card so back it up, then you'll recieve the pie update and install it, if you want root, reflash twrp, and then magisk.

If I unlock my sensation and use it on a non t Mobile network,will I be able to get the OTA update htc is pushing out in august to unlock the bootloader?
Yes you will still be able to. If your phone is branded to t-mobile it the update might take a bit longer as T-Mobile need to approve the update.

If you flashed cwm recovery,you are unable to update by ota.And i think,if you have unlocked your phone,why not use custom roms,they are much better than official roms.If you use custom roms,ota is not necessary at all.
I thought you can't flash custom roms with a locked bootloader?
i think he is talking about sim unlocking?

He was asking about sim unlock, not s-off
Yes, sorry should have clarified , I meant sim unlock.
My SIM unlocked Bell unit (on Rogers) received the OTA update last week no problem!
hi, i am planning on purchasing a sprint nexus s 4g. i already have a phone with a contract so i will not be activating it. i was wondering if i could officially upgrade the sprint nexus s 4g to ics without connecting to the sprint network or registering the phone. then would i be able to unlock and root? what i am really asking is will phones that are not connected to a cellular network still get the OTA upgrade or not.
thank you

I can't speak for the NS4G, since I don't have one, but I did just load a stock rom on my Evo Shift 4G that I am selling. The phone is not activated right now, and was only connected to wifi. I went to check for updates, and I was able to update to the latest version available on the Shift. YMMV. I've also done the same thing on an old Evo 4G. Only connected to wifi, and was able to apply updates.
Also, has the ICS update for the Sprint version been released yet?

There is no ICS OTA for the NS4G yet. When there is you should be able to update over wifi. Or you'll be able to just grab the OTA as a flashable zip from here once its released.

can you get ota with the bootloader unlocked? or do you have to relock it before you can get it.

I'm fairly certain you need to relock the phone, and then apply the update. The update won't process if the hboot is unlocked. From there, you will be able to unlock the phone again, to gain root access.

I'm new to the NS4G myself so I may be wrong but I've read many people post that you can still get OTAs with an unlocked bootloader and rooted. Supposedly you just have to be on a stock ROM already and can't have made any changes to any system files.
Earlier I unlocked and rooted my Sprint Galaxy Nexus using GNextoolKit 7.9. I did not flash a different ROM. I have Android 4.0.4 L700.FG01.
Since the news is that Sprint is pushing JB out starting today, I would like to bring my phone back to stock and allow the OTA update.
I probably will not unlock again until a K version appears.
Is there a step-through to restore to stock using GNexToolKit 7.9? I am afraid I need pretty detailed guidance.
As far as I know you don't need to re-lock your Nexus to receive OTA updates, and I don't know if you need to unroot, but you might lose root after update anyway

Agreed... some roms include stopping ota updates so it's not the unlocked bootloader that stops updates. You should get the update but you may lose root afterwords.

You have to ruu back to unrooted stock, if you want to update official firmware. Fastboot oem lock command in Fastboot then run the ruu related to your software version.

Yes you will lose everything, and as rude as it is to say you would be stupid to do so
You're better off just flashing a stock rooted version, there are no benefits of upgrading

Hey, I'm sorry for being a total noob at this. I have an unlocked and rooted Verizon Pixel. I'm on 7.1 and I want to update to 7.1.1. How should I go about doing this while keeping root and my unlocked bootloader? Do I just take the OTA? Thanks!

Root will stop the update. Since you are a noob I suggest you use Skipsoft toolkit, its in the pixel or pixel XL ROM, kernel....Forum. You tell it to use the latest image and it will ask you if you want to save data. It will flash, TWRP and root in one way step.
Consider waiting until Tuesday, when the January update comes. Save you doing it twice.
And read the tutorials on how to do this manually in case you have trouble later on.
