If you have just rooted and if u able to connect to PC suit u shall get updates. But as soon as u update u loose 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.

Try flashing a general unbranded rom, some continental version if you find. And root after that. I had the same problem with the Ro firmware, got an European Fw and it worked. Also try and stay below 10e to root.
As for information, Gingerbreak roots it.
You must try gingerbreak it will surely gonna root it ,but mind it its gonna root permanently, so you can't unroot again.

Yes, Gingerbreak is the solution.

Version 1.2 of Gingerbreak includes the Un-root option... so, just give it a try and report afterwards!
Gingerbreak have un-root option and it works fine. And if you flash oficial firmware with KDZ - you got un-root to.

You can try custom launcher and rooting won't really affect your update

Rooting your phone won't defect it from updating to ICS.
Just root your phone.
You can try : [MOD][ICS|GB] DefaultThemes.apk mod like you want.
This is my mod for stock theme manager... Install like normal app After reboot stock themes will restored...

rooting your devices doesn't have any effect on updating using SEUS or OTA but un-locking bootloader does...it will prevent your device from receiving official update from Sony....
anyway you can always lock/re-lock bootloader again in case you want update from Sony....

rooting voids warranty
many people dont root their android because it voids the warranty, and i know you can "unroot" it later on, but still i wouldnt like to mess up with it till my warranty is there. upgrade to ICS or no upgrade, i would stay away from rooting for the time being at least.
so can we get themes for unrooted LwW?
Thanks

I got an lg marquee for sprint (ls855) for free and I want to root. I'm pretty sure its updated as its on gingerbread 2.3.4. Is there any way to root it or flash it to boost easily if it can be rooted that way. I can't find any way to do it and I really want it rooted and/or on boost. Thanks for the help guys
Sent from my VM670 using xda premium
I've been searching for some time now. My other phone is the Boost LG Marquee and from what I've read if your phone has been updated as of now you will not be able to root the phone. I also read that to root our phones we would have to restore the old version before the update. From there I believe super oneclick will work.
My problem is finding instructions to restore the older version.

So i recently got my LwW on Official 4.0.4 .587 and its running good! I rooted it and installed the BootExtended stock kernel for CwM. And shorty in Updatw Center.apk there was a update available, so once my phone got ready to install OTA update it just rebooted! And now the Update icon is stuck in my Notif Bar and i cant get rid of it! Help?

Why did you OTA after unlocking ??
Search the fota unbrick or see the sticky threads for the method. And never update over the air or using PC companion after unlocking
Sent from my Xperia Mini using xda premium
Never install OTA Updates on unlocked bootloader!
To get rid of it uninstall the UpdateCenter.apk
Its just one of those mini updates. 15.8mb its a system update,
Sent from my WT19i using xda premium
hmmm...if i still remember it correctly, open update center, there should be showing there an update...press menu button then press option/preferences....inside there you can choose to update via network or wifi only...choose wifi only...reboot then the update icon will disappear from your status bar....
to fully remove it, just uninstall update center from your system files.....
Luckily, you have still not updated it using OTA. If you do that, you will brick your phone!! Download root browser or any file explorer as soon as possible and go to /system/app and delete UpdateCenter.apk. You can also use titanium backup to remove it.
Do not worry ota update doesnt work after rooting with unlocked bootloder u may even brick... Only way is to flash
