I rooted my DHD and I have LeeDroid ROM on it, my question is now HTC announced that DHD will get Ginger Bread update, does my phone after rooting will accept the update or not?
You will not get the OTA update when you are running a custom ROM. If you want to get official OTA updates you will need to un root and replace your custom ROM with the official one.

Hi All!
I got root on my Desire via unrevoked but I did not install any custom ROM, I am using my stock ROM with root permissions.
Guys will I be able to do the official OTA update from HTC for froyo ? do I have to go back to stock rom to do this or will I be able to upgrade without any issue?
Thanks to all...
I'm in the exact same situation as you are and I'm hopeful that we will receive, normally, the OTA update.
I can't think of any reason why NOT to get the OTA update, as rooting can't interfere with updates (hope so).
it is possible to do OTA after root, but it could be impossible to root after OTA
I need to know before rooting my desire.If i go the Rooting way,will the HTC Sense ROM still be there after rooting and will recovery mode still function?I have to be sure cos im not too familiar with all these android programming stuff.This is my first android phone and i get confused when i see different methods of rooting,flashing Roms and other stuff.Thanks Could you pls direct me to the most useful step by step instrution for rooting and keeping HTC sense
Yes use Unrevoked 3 to root. It will install a custom recovery and the stock rom is still there but you have root permissions now.
once rooted,will you still be able to install an official OTA update from HTC onto the phone?
i've rooted my originally unlocked and unbranded desire but would like confirmation that i'll still be able to install an official OTA update from HTC when the new improved version of Froyo has been by them.Thanks
nope you won't, use one of modified rom's.

You will not be able to install an official OTA update unless you un-root. There are a no of modified Roms out there which apparently are basically rooted versions of Froyo....so if you install one of these you pretty well get your cake and eat it, i.e. you will have installed a version of Froyo which is almost OTA pristine but is rooted. I understand the neophyte Rom is one of these, as is this one:

I can confirm you will need to manually update after doing this
hello,
i have a desire with a 1.15.405.4 software, once in a little while i get a popup saying there is an update available (i keep saying no because i want to make sure everything is backed up).
however today when i checked for an update it says that the phone is up to date. how could that be, does it beeing rooted have anything to do with it?
how can i update to 2.2?
thanx,
lidar
Root your phone and install custom rom or official rom

If you're rooted you can't update. You need to be unrooted to install an OTA. If you're already rooted just get a new ROM based on 2.2
I have rooted phone HTC Disare and when come out official update 2.3 , can i update it , i now lost my root but phone be working correctly ?
You mentioned you lost your root?
might be a safe bet to install the RUU if you want the official and are rooted...?
or install a custom rom version of it
I know that I'd lose my root when I install official update 2.3 but phone be working correctly any brick ?
I guess there's always a chance.
if you want to install an official rom on top of a rooted/custom rom then I'd guess RUU is the safest way
Hi all,
I just got an One X, my first android (loving it a lot). I've rooted and flashed custom ROM leedroid one xtreme 6.4.0.
I've a question, how do i update my phone firmware from HTC? Or i've unroot and bring it back to stock to have it update?
the OTA updates are for a stock ROM, not custom ones. If you want to get OTA updates in the future, then return to stock rom and stock recovery, you don't have to unroot or relock your bootloader.
Anyway you're using a ROM with the same firmware as the official 1.29.401.11, because 2.05.401.2 is not released officialy yet, so basicaly you'll gain nothing.
