If I root and have twrp do updates still install?
Related
I just got the official OTA upgrade from unrooted 3.2.1 to 4.0.3. (Acer_AV041_A100_1.014.00_WW_GEN1)
Has anyone tried to apply the old rooting procedures to this new OS?
You should be able to use ZeroNulls method in the development thread. It works for all the ICS versions. Including the .14 leak and OTA which are the same exact.
Also next time download OTA rootkeeper app and protect root before you update and you can restore root after OTA. This only work if you OTA though. If you flash through recovery then you def have to use Zeronull. But this is the surest way to maintain root if for some reason the OTA is unrootable with adb method.
Rooted using Team Epic's method running the stock rom. I have Titanium Backup as well as Voodoo OTA RootKeeper installed. I have a couple of questions regarding post-rooting updates
If I freeze the AT&T Software Update V3_1205_2_2, will it prevent the OTA updates?
If not, how do I prevent the OTA update from downloading or from bricking my phone?
If I temp unroot it with Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper and then update, will my root still exist?
What are the methods to update the stock ROM if I am rooted?
Thank you for help in advance.

I believe freezing AT&T Software Update will prevent OTA updates.
I heard a report that OTA Rootkeeper did preserve root for the LG1 OTA update, but I don't know exactly what you have to do to make that work. I don't think you have to temp unroot first.
Here are the methods to update the stock ROM now that you're rooted:
Use OTA Rootkeeper and accept the OTA.
Flash a complete root-injected UCALG1 ROM through Odin.
Flash the CWM-flashable OTA update through your CWM recovery.
Once I root I can't ever get update from att again right?
That is not correct. If you are simply stock rooted you can still receive ota updates, but will loose root if you don't use voodoo ota root keeper. If you have a custom recovery installed, the ota won't upgrade successfully. Most (all i can think of) custom roms have ota updates disabled. I do not know if this information applies to KIES updates, as i don't usually use it for updates.
After rooting we loose ota update. So how can i update then? With twrp only?
What is more recommended is flashing the kdz file of the update but rooted already and most likely you can keep twrp too
Currently running nde63p
Need to update to newest build.
But don't want to lose root or twrp
Is there a way, or do I need to update to fresh build then start procedure for twrp and root again?
