Hi,
I cannot install the OTA upgrade on my phone.
1. Is it because my phone is rooted?
2. If so, is there a way to successfully install the ugrade without losing root?
1. YES
2. NO. OTA update is available only for stock, nonrooted rom. U can find the newest software at needrom, or kaskus for all roms..

I have survived a long time on stock 1.5 rom. Have been waiting a long time for 2.1 rom. Now that it is finally coming to me, I am starting to consider if I should just root and install all the other roms out there now, just in case stock 2.1 cannot be rooted....
any comments ?
I am using a singapore hero ..
2.1 cannot currently be rooted, do not flash it if you want to root.
Thread moved.
just root and install a 2.1 rom, theyr exactly the same but with a root features
yeah i was also gonna ask the same question .. it was running whole time on my mind ..
Currently i am on official 1.5 firmware , i am waiting for 2.1 update also i didn't root my phone yet but planning to what if i install official 2.1 update ? later i can not root Hero ? & can't install or flash any Custom ROM ?
Or root now & install Custom ROM ?
would just say you can not root after you upgrade to offical 2.1 from HTCs site or OTA or RRU file...
while you are on 1.5 root!
once you have a custom recovery you can flash a update.zip file that contains 2.1 offical upgrade minus the SPL upgrade and recovery and radio..
it would be just silly for anyone to install the offical update direct from htc. there have been so many threats about this...
hope this helps though

Hi all
I have a Xperia Z2 SGP521. I downgraded to version 17.1.A.2.69
I did that with Flashtool. Afterwards i rooted with Towelroot and installed SUPERSU.
Now i have full root.
I get the message that there is an OTA update. Can i do that without loosing ROOT ?????
Can i flash the stock Lollipop ROM without loosing ROOT (from Experifirm) ?
Does someone have a firmware package (FTF) prerooted wich i can flash with flashtool. I dont want to flash recovery....because i lost all my data triing that
If you find this Q to be obsolete because it is asked a million times......neglect it.
There is so mucg info on this but not with the ezact firmwares i use or wanna use and i have been told this device can brick easy. So this Q is to be shure !!!
THNX in advance forhelping comments.

My current version of Xperia Z ultra is 14.6.A.0.368. I have rooted the same. Now new version 14.6.A.1.216 is released, I can update it through OTA or through flashtool.
My question is that if I update through OTA, will I loose the Root or not. Is there any steps through which I can update and preserve my Root status.
Please reply.

If your system is currently rooted, especially if you out your apps have applied any changes to the /system partition. the OTA will download but will not flash. So effectively you will not be able to upgrade via OTA, let alone lose root.
I have posted instructions to upgrade to 216 with root in the general section:

Hi,
If you only root the phone and custom firmware has not been installed, do you still get OTA updates?
Thank you
