Yeah but you will lose root.

Yes you can, only if you have not uninstalled anything after rooting since all the stock apps (bloatware) needs to be on the phone when using ota updates.
Just wait for a rooted version of the rom to come out

Forgot to mention you will not loose root either when doing an ota. Since the whole point of ota updating is to keep root while updating
If you have an unlocked bootloader you can root easily. The only way for people with a locked bootloader to update and keep root is ota updating.

I had an evo 4g rooted and when the gingerbread update rolled out I lost all root completely and was unable to root. When I got my nexus is when root was available for gingerbread evo

Did you do your gingerbread update with ota? If i flashed 2.3.3 or 4.0.a (instead of ota) then gingerbreak would not work since it was patched but using ota allows us with the xperia play on a locked bootloader keep root should be the same for all using gingerbread? Maybe not?
I started on 2.3.2 rooted. Used ota to get to 2.3.3 and root was still kept. I have just updated today using ota to the newest update and i still have root.

Hmm idk then because it was a huge issue for evo owners if you look at threads that we who did the ota lost root. and the exploit took 3 months to figure out

This isnt the evo, its not even a HTC device. There are so many diffrences between the 2 companies. For example if we OTA update with unlocked bootloaders. We brick our phones. I had s-off on my hero, desire and DHD and didnt have any problem OTA updating.

Ok I have a rooted EVO with the 2.10 hboot. I'm considering trading with my friend who has an EVO with the for now, unrootable 2.16 hboot.....If we were to swap phones, SD cards, numbers, the whole nine.... Would my phone lose root?? Thx in advance!
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
since your swapping for the unrooted Evo with hboot 2.16, then yes....you will lose root. hboot 2.16 is still locked and there is no way to root it as of yet. be patient tho....there will be a rooting method out soon...you just have to give it time

No it won't unless you accept an ota etc or unroot it yourself.

correct...that will keep root...as long as your friend doesnt update with OTA
If youre on an AOSP ROM flash a Sense ROM to provision the phone (don't know about about all AOSP ROMs by Cyanogen wont let you put in ## codes or update profile to program), and flash back to whatever you want afterwards. Just don't accept the update.

My mobille is HTC Incredble 2. Help me to root and more! I can't found way to root it, Android Foryo 2.2.1.

Update your Inc 2 to 2.3.3 with the OTA update. Then use revolutionary to root.

A quick Google search led me to this website.
full-gingerbread-ruu-for-the-droid-incredible-2
You can get the OTA update by downloading the RUU file from this site. Once you have the RUU installed your phone should be 2.3.3 without root. Then you should be able to use the revolutionary tutorial to root your phone.
Good luck!
When the ics update come in, I want to install this update, I have doomkernel, rom stock 2.3.4, root.
After update, I have root permition and my apps ?

depends on how you update. i believe that if you update OTA (over the air) then you will retain all apps and root.

But he said that he has Doomkernel which means he is bootloader unlocked. So doing an OTA would obviously brick the phone.

I may be incorrect but I thought that either unlocked via test point you wold still brick your phone if you do an OTA, when I OTA'd this last time a couple months ago I had to re-lock my bootloader, then update, then re-unlock.
Ok. Well that doomkernel wouldn't boot in ics anyway so he would need to fastboot/flashmode stock kernel anyway . Actually when you think about it ics would not be released ota as you would need new kernel and they can only be flashed via pc.

I think they are probably just going to release it via SEUS, cuz I doubt they have any means of updating kernel OTA either

Dear frens,
I've rooted my HOX and unlocked bootloader. However, I still use stock rom and kernel.
My question is, can I update the software straight away without unroot back my phone? Some of my frens told me that once you unroot your phone, you cannot update your software even though u r still using the stock rom. Is it true?
Please advise.
Thanks, guys.

You will have to relock your bootloader and flash stock recovery to perform the ota. Some people recommend unrooting first before doing an ota just incase there's any problems

As you are on stock there is no need to relock your bootloader so long as you are doing the update via OTA (over the air) i.e from your handset.
you will however need to flash stock recovery before doing the update.

Anyone know if any place has an update on how to root the nexus on Verizon with the latest 4.0.4 update. Everywhere I check they are still using 4.0.2.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
It's the same method.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I tried it, I even used the option to do the 4.0.4. But when I was trying the do the fast reboot part, it wouldn't give me the right options.do you have a video I can follow, this is my first time rooting my phone.
Its the exact same method. Unlike most devices, on a Nexus phone, there's no exploit required to root the device. If your bootloader is unlocked then you should have no problem using the exact same steps as 4.0.2.
Unless you're trying to root via exploit w/ a locked bootloader, which the ability to do so has been removed in 4.0.4.
I'm phone was just updated and it was locked when it was updated, dies that matter?

Taking an OTA update doesn't lock your bootloader... maybe you misspoke.
In order to root, you need to unlock the bootloader. The only reason why some people were able to root 4.0.2 without unlocking the bootloader was there was a slight exploit that allowed it. As I said, that exploit is not there in 4.0.4.
Just unlock the bootloader. Takes about 5 seconds as part of the root process. It will wipe your phone.
Ok thanks so much for the quick responses. I'm pretty stupid when it comes to this stuff, trying to learn. Thanks again
