Dear friends,
I've a moto e which was rooted once and it's bootloader was also unlocked, But someone told me if you want to receive ota updates you have to unroot and then I just un-rooted my device. But still my phone's bootloader is unlocked, Will it cause my phone to not receive ota update?
If I update the ota with my bootloader unlocked device, Will it brick my phone???
Thank you in advance....

No there is no need to lock bootloader...you just need to completely unroot your device n be on stock rom without any modifications in system apps...thats it you'r ready to go for OTA..but Official lollipop is not yet released...they just released test build for limited users of MFN.
Thank you
Thank you for replying...
What is this modification in system apps??
I just uninstalled some of my system apps when my phone was in rooted state...
Will it harm my phone on update??

It's over the air, don't accept it! Otherwise your device will brick!!!!!
You can only flash the .ftf and after that a prerooted kernel, but don't make updates over the air when your bootloader is unlocked

Frankly speaking, that sounded a little sarcastic for some reason.
Anyways, what do I do now? How do I get that notification off my notification bar/drawer?

Uninstall update center will solve your problem. You don't need it anyway. Or flash the .ftf which should be uploaded somewhere here on xda
i think it wont brick your phone as long as you have a locked bootloader. but you will lose your root access

It will brick his phone, because his bootloader is unlocked (he is using extended stock kernel!). So don't accept the update!

:good:
so to TS, you may relock bootloader and root via the downgrade and update method if you really want the .587 update

If I were him, I'd wait for someone who upload the .587 ftf. Then he can just flash it and a prerooted kernel like rage kernel for 4.0.4 and he has the latest rooted sony ics firmware
I will just chuck the update and uninstall update center as advised.
Thanks a lot for the info guys
Update to .587 and then follow this tutorial to root your phone. I did it already!
Hi
Is there any way to get back to stock rom and still keep TWRP and keep getting rom updates from sony?
Thanks
No updates from Sony with an unlocked bootloader if I'm not mistaken

My bootloader is unlocked and the device wants to update to that horrible 4.2.2.

If applied, the update may download but will fail to install.
I see. 4.2.2 was the reason i unlocked it and checked out custom ROMs.
Sadly they lack stamina mode And use way too much battery when Not used (no deepsleep).
Now i hope for a tablet UI mod for Sonys 4.2.2.
Deactivate the update app via Titanium Backup (so that it`s not bugging you anymore) and remain on 4.1.2. It's a wonderful ROM, don't believe that you need another ROM to be happy with your XTZ.
Hi
I've come to the sony from the note 2 and I'm happy so far but have 1 issue I can't resolve.
Phone details
Bootloader unlocked
Rooted
Model no. C6833
4.2.2 stock rom at the moment (looking at paranoid android rom)
Baseband 8974-AAAAANAZQ-10220006-17
Kernel 3.4.0 std
Build 14.1.B.1.532
Questions
Should I update anyway ? Or will that wipe root access ?
If I update, will it then update to 14.1.B.2.257 ota ?
Or am I best to get 14.1.B.2.257 update n do manually ?
Thanks for help

no matter how you update, you will lose ROOT access.
It is still possible to get root back after updating, but does require a lot of work arounds to do it.

No,this is not true. If you install Voodoo OTA RootKeeper and do an OTA update, you can keep root. I tested it myself ...

Some thing I notes with update .257 that if you did OTA update the update will not delete the root or the busybox.
Thanks for the replys

Hi everyone!
I Unlocked my bootloader about 7 months ago. I read somewhere in XDA that If you unlock your BL ,you won't receive OTA UPDATES.
But all of a sudden this noon I received bunch of notification inculding Xperia system update (update to 23.1.A.1.28), Video app, Info Eye , Whats New and photo editor app updates suggesting me to update them to the latest version and especially after 7 months and after I unlocked my bootloader! This is the first time i receive such notifications after unlocking my BL!
I'm currently on 23.1.A.0.690 Build!
now here is the question!
Should I Update my phone system (not apps) Using this OTA updates? or it's risky and my phone gets bricked and I should use the same old ftf way or CMW Recovery Update?
Please Answer Me , I'm So confused if this is a change in Sony rules or it's just a notification that everyone with unlocked BL used to receive and I should update too!!!
update: My rooting status in Service Menu is: Unknown!!!!!
update 1: I Updated Photo Editor, Video and What's New from what's New App itself!
Just update, your phone will continue to work normally
Its a possibility the verifacation system that stops after Ub ot root, its possible that it may fail to check properly hence some people have OTA on Root and unlocked bootloaders

Ok Thanks, But isn't it risky to update through this OTA Notifications? because I haven't updated with this notification yet.
I mean if I update with this does my phone get bricked?
My point is Should I update Using this notification or use the old way?
thanks for your response!

No, you just lose root and if your jumping android versions or a kernel change then if your on UB then your kernel becomes stock.

Hi!, I returned from the CM version 12.1 to stock ROM 5.0.2 ... Now an update OTA (security update) appears. The point is that I'm afraid to apply this update and to break bootloader ... The question is whether you can apply this update without problem ... CM modifies the bootloader?
don't hold me to it but i think your fine..
your bootloader must be unlocked right ?
if so i wouldn't worry about go ahead and get the update.. i would.
I'm not sure but if u apply some ota with custom recovery your phone is going to get bricked, if someone can help here that would be appreciated!
