max22 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 After you root your phone can you still get andriod updates for the OS ? Will it unroot it when it ever updates to the latest Andriod ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PNWDweller Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 In general you can, but when you do the OTA (Over the air) upgrade, it will unroot your phone as it basically does a replacement of system files that were rooted and probably removes the SU file as well. In my experience, this always happens and then I need to re-root the device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xahid Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Rooting have nothing to do with updating android, but if you unlocked your device you might not get any update. but there are so many methods to relock your device for stock update. & yes, after getting update your need to root again.

techbeck Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I believe you can still get OTA updates as long as you do not apply a custom recovery. At least that is how it worked in the past. TAZMINATOR 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beanboy89 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 How do I disable over the air upgrades then ? Depends on the device. It will likely be in the Settings > About device area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techbeck Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 How do I disable over the air upgrades then ? Here is an app that should be able to do it as long as ur rooted. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.disableservice You can also long press on the OTA notification and go in to the settings to disable the notifications. I forget the procedure but poke around. OTAs will not install automatically so there is no worries about it being applied without your say so. liquidguru 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
