Just a quick question, does using the official Motorola software update page to return to stock lose the ability to root? Or is best to just flash sbf? Here is the page link:

hey I recently just bought a new htc hero rooted on v1.6
Since 1.6 is kinda out of date now so I was planning to update the software via the official site to 2.1 as I dont have the technical experience to flash a rom myself.
But my question is can update via the official installer thingy? or if my phone if rooted do i HAVE to use the rom flashing method?
I just needed to know just in case i completely mess up the phone
Thx.

HTC hasn't released the 2.1 update for the Hero yet,... We hope to get it by the start of next month.
There are however, ports of the leaked CDMA 2.1 update available to try out in the development section.
Once the update has been officially released, I would suggest waiting for a rooted version to be posted here on XDA rather than installing it from HTC themselves as the official update may close access to root in future.
and fwiw: you are on android1.5, not 1.6.
Hi!
1. Is there any way to get informed about the official firmware releases from Samsung.
Is there any Blog about this or any option on Kies to get a notification about updates?
2. Another thing: where can i find this leakd Stock 2.3.4 ROM for the SGS2? I just found this DarkyROM...with baaad GUI modifications...i dont like it!
I would like to try 2.3.4 untill Samsung releases the officiall version.
THX!
Usually the leaked versions appear on samfirmware.com first. Intratech has 2 threads in samsung original android development section with released roms, both unbranded and branded ones. Kies prompts you for updates if you are on stock rom, don't know if it still prompts you after changing your rom through Odin.

Samsung blogs are not recent /up to date .
Samfirmware.com about the best next best would be XDA .

There is everything you need for official Kies Updates!
Hey guys,
I've been mucking around with my galaxy moving between some builds but ultimately have decided to go back to stock for now and wait for 4.0.3 to come out through my carrier.
Anyway, I restored from a CWM recovery image I had and out of curiousity went to update my phone as it's only at 2.3.3. Unfortunately it won't let me update OTA and won't let me update on Keis.
Now i've seen a few threads that say it should be updatable, a few that don't and a few that say both. I just need an information on what I need to do to be able to get the update to my phone and also to prepare it for the eventual ICS update.
Thanks in advance.

Restore Stock Carier from ODIN
Try restoring your carrier's stock ROM using ODIN.
The OTA update is carrier specific and might not work if you're not using the specific ROM provided by your carrier.
You can find a list of (some) official ROMs here:

Or you can google for it if it's not on the list.

Stock means your phone is untouched, as it came from the manufacturer/provider.
OTA refers to the "Over The Air" updates which come from the manufacturer or provider. They are actually one and the same thing. You will receive a notification when an OTA update is available for your stock phone. You then download the update, and install it. Your phone is still stock, but running the latest version of the operating system.

I did not ota and i flashed the rom of android n on the xda development. I tried looking all over but no one explains how. bootloader is 90.1a. any help please?
You have the rsd lite the full stock 6.0.1 ROM, regardless of software channel except Telus and bell. I think Motorola has its own firmware center where you can download them, just google for the site.
