When the next OTA does come out. #1, can I install it on my rooted device? #2 if I can, will I loose root?
Im currently rooted and on stock rom.
Thanks in advance for the information!
You can accept the OTA update if you haven't messed around with your phone too much, but I'm pretty sure you will lose root(haven't tried yet). If you are on a custom rom , you should not take the update.

You WILL lose root if you don't use ota root keeper and back it up before accepting the ota. You must also be on your stock ROM, no custom recovery installed, and be on .211 (CDMA) to get the ota

And don't remove any bloat. You can freeze but don't remove. (If you use titanium back up)

I unrooted my phone with an unrooted so i can update ota but i now realized i have clockwork recovery flashed! what do i do?
You're better off with Nottachs 2.3.6 ROM - the OTA update is causing a LOT of problems even with the more advanced users.... I'd stay away from it...
Unroot
what do i do from where i am and plus i want to unroot my phone any way
for icecream
ICS is still months away.... why unroot now?
A root will not prevent u from upgrading to 2.3.6 or Ics, if you flashed any rooms that's a different story

From stock .173 if rooted ota will come in no problem and if I do temp unroot with voodoo , then after update I will have root available too restore through voodoo

.... lol ....
Ok ok I apologize, I'm just super paranoid and want the ics update to go smoothly but want to retain my root and since no one had had the official ota yet want to make sure it will take and some strange root related file won't spoil my ice cream sandwich dreams, and I've been enjoying rooting and claiming and tweaking since my Eris days apologize for sounding like a noob , I'm just a paranoid veteran

You got. Just don't install a recovery and before you install any ota, temp un root. Then restore root after. Also unfreeze anything before and do not delete any system apps.
Thanks very much, that's what I thought just like to quadrupole check

So should I uninstall Bootstrap?
Yes to uninstall bootstrap. Separate thought; Motofail root method wouldn't create any ota blockers right no extra steps to take if used that method?

I recently bought the Razr Maxx for my dad, (who had been on the Droid X) and I ran a Titanium Backup on all his data, and I want to be able to restore the information, but i still want him to be able to get OTA updates, whenever they come. Is there any way that I can still restore everything, while keeping his OS stock?

Why do you need temporary root? As long as you don't flash a new rom you will still get OTA updates.
I just got a ota offer for .181 and am currently rooted and have apps frozen. I just made a root backup with root keeper. Do I need to UN freeze the apps before I do the ota? Are there any other steps that I need to do before updating?

Hey,
I'm GSM-User, but I think the steps to install an OTA are the same. So here're my tips for you.
First, save your Root via OTA Rootkeeper (Play Store) an temporary unroot with it. (Works well with the GSM Leak)
After you received the update you can restore your root.
To not go into trouble during the Update I would recommend to unfreeze the Apps. You can freeze them after again
If an CDMA user maybe can confirm that you're free to go :thumbup:

Yes you need to temp unroot and unfreeze your apps before you can update. It will usually fail about half way through if you don't.
Got it thanks guys

Just went back to this phone while i'm getting my other repaired and it was recently updated to the latest update. I'm just curious if it's possible to root and install safestrap on the latest CDMA version?
It should me possible. It was only a small update to fix problems when roaming...I think. It's not like we went above and beyond jellybean. I didn't lose root when I updated and I didn't see any message about root being restored after the update. Try it and see
