Hi. Quick question, if i just root my phone (and don't use any other roms etc) then can i still receive the updates from HTC Or carrier?
Thanks
From what I understand as long as your using stock rom you will still get the updates but you will lose root

You still can. If you get superSU premium there is an option to try to keep root after an ota. I would try that if you would like to keep root.

It doesn't work no matter what you try. My Desire's now back to factory default because I sent it off to be factory reflashed after rooting it and finding no way to install the latest OTA update.
All the threads with people having issues after doing it says something different. Also a Ruu should have worked fine to get latest official rom. Which is the way to go if you don't want a custom rom but do want the latest OTA update.

Hi, I'm new to the DHD, (I had experience with my LG GT540)
I have followed root and s-off guides, gold card, radio etc, but now I want to know is it safe to update to the newest OTA without losing root permissions. If not I will just install sense 3.0 or miui or something. Thanks for understanding and helping, (I did try to search first but nothing came up) Quinny898

If you install an OTA update, you will lose root permissions...
So don't install an OTA update...

Hi everyone, can any one answer my question ...!
Which ROM it have an option to HTC update..?
and
what I will get & what I will loose after update ..?
Thanks..
Question 1: the only Rom I can think of is the stock Rom.
Question 2: well you loose root and the ability to root until a new exploit is found. But I think you can still root if you are S-OFF.

I would suggest not to go for those ROMs
Hi,
I don't know where there are any ROMs that let you do that. I would advise that even if you get such a ROM, not to go for the OTA updates, as there are a lot of problems associated with it, including losing root on your device.
No custom rom will be able to update from HTC. While it will check and attempt to download and install it ends up soft bricking your device. If you want HTC updates then stay stock.
Hi everyone,
I have got a rooted HOX, and I flashed what I think is a custom rom. I did this beacuse I am getting prepared for an ota update and my bigger question is if with this rom I will be able yo receive the official update.
Here are the details of the rom.
Thx.

As long as you have a stock recovery you should get the updates. It looks like you are on the 1.29.401.11 rom so you should. But you will lose root after you get another update.
As i see this is stock rom and you will have ota update.

You'll get the update notification, but it won't install.

Why root if you want to wait for OTA updates?
Because when I bought it it was already rooted...
In fact I dont know what to do... Stay rooted, or unroot it and receive OTA updates.

You certainly will.
As far as you come back to your stock rom, you will get your OTA. you need to download keeproot app from google play to stay rooted though.
Howdy, new HTC One M8 owner here. Coming from Galaxy S4.
There is a lot information here pretty overwhelming. I'm trying to get my bearings. I have unlocked my BL and have not yet installed a custom recovery or root yet. I also have not taken any updates.
Is there a general consensus on which recovery is most compatible with our device?
What is S-Off? I mean I have the jist secure off, but what does this allow, and how do I achieve S-Off?
How do I verify I'm SIM unlocked and if not procedure to achieve this?
Finally with all of the development is there a thread that runs through the ROMs so I can choose one that best fits my need?

I factory reset still my data turns off and on when hot spot is activated. I have done nothing but installed TWRP and S Off. This is ridiculous.
Any other ideas?
