I have a Fascinate that's only rooted, no other updates done to it. Will the OTA install or does it have to be unrooted first?
you can always try it and find out but I am actually not sure, just try to ota and tell us what happens!

Well, while rooted the the phone took the update. Now running Froyo.
Did it keep your root?

Hello, is there a root method where it doesn't interfere with the bootloader, so you still get official update, but you can run root apps.

Rooting will not prevent at OTA update. This has been addressed, many times.
So you still get updates

how can I check and verify current ROM version on the phone? What is the stock ROM shipped with the phone. Is there a name for it? I've rooted my phone by using ROM Manager app. What I don't understand is under ROM Manager/Check For ROM updates tab, it says "Your ROM is not set up to receive OTA Updates. Please contact the ROM developer!
I'll jump the bridge if i didn't get the Froyo when it's available OTA. Please Help. Thanks.

In the sticky of the general section:
IF I ROOT, WILL I GET OTA UPDATES?
Yes. Rooting will not prevent this, unless you flash a custom ROM that will block receiving the OTA update. Typically, accepting an OTA will make you lose root. Some upgrading to JI6 state they didn't lose root, I did (using the JI6 method above), but gaining root back is so easy.

Since I have ji6 un rooted can I still use the same root method

However do be aware that all lagfixes are turned off if you install an OTA update. LagFix has been known to bork phones when OTAs are installed.
Im rooted using glad root. I have gladiatrix installed. What should I do before updating. Im on 1.5.7 right now.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I'm not entirely certain, but I believe that you'll have to reflash an SBF (1.2.6 or 1.5.7). From what I've read, the update checks for deodex and simply won't go through if you have it. (Which GingerBlur, GreyBlur, and GladiAtrix all have)
Of course this is assuming you're referring to updating to the next firmware.
Ya I am. I didn't sign up for the beta but this morning I had a message to download the update. I downloaded it but have yet to install. I wanted to know what to do first.

i was able to reroot on 1.8.3 using GladiAtrix 2 after updating from 1.5.7 with root if that helps anyone

Yea but if you're rooted with 1.5.7 do you just run Gladatrix to preserve root then update then run afterupdate again?
I reflashed to 1.26. Before update. Update to 1.5.7. After upadte. Updated to 1.8 whatever it is. Then after update. I just haven't put a rom on yet. I think im gonna wait to see if something ia updated soon by devs

Weird when I do the same steps, when I run Afterupdate when I'm on 1.8 it errors and says "osh/sbin/frozenfish: Not found"
U have Ian debugging enabled? After 1.8 update I had to reenable it

Depends, did you take the OTA or did you install a custom rom to get to 2.3.4. If you took the OTA and you weren't rooted before I don't know if you can go back. The HTC unlocker method of rooting will not let you install a kernel so I don't believe you will be able to flash a 2.3.3 rom since it will require an compatible kernel.
If your on 2.3.4 taking the ota then there is no way to go back to 2.3.3

Hi Iam running Alien4 2.3.4 rom with faux1234. Iam rooted and obviously bl is unlocked. But I had a question, I never really understanded the fruit cake thing. I just wanted to make sure I don't brick my phone. So I can flash the 2.3.4 fruitcake, over my current rom, and it would be safe to download the new and future OTA updates over wifi and install it? Thanks

I heard that Google kills a stripper every time someone with a custom ROM attempts to OTA update.

Fruitcake replaces any OTA. Only update software via CWM now. No RSD, no nothing.
