Answered one thread below yours. Short: OTA updates will fail to install if rooted.

I have the latest OTA 4.3.5 update and am rooted. I would like to backup my phone with CWM just to have a safe backup....BUT I don't want any problems or issues with backing up OR future OTA updates, like the upcoming Ice Creame update which is surely coming for the Atrix. So my question is: can I backup my phone now using CWM and still OTA update without any issues?? OTA updates seem to preserve my existing setup and homescreen and I would not want to do anything to change that. If there are any possible issues I will simply not backup up now and wait for the next OTA update, then backup.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Here's my homescreen so you can see why I am so cautious

bump anyone?
Title says it all. I understand it screws up the search function (but can be fixed with an APK reload, but will the OTA cause any other issues?
huh I didn't get a software update.. and I just checked.... none for me on AT&T
If you are rooted with a stock rom, you can not install the update because you are rooted. There are 2 ways to install the update 1) unroot your phone, accept the update, and reroot your phone or 2) flash a custom factory rom with the update already installed.
And yes the update does disable the universal search on your phone and not sure if there are any other issues.

Future ROMs will have the update, right? So, if we wanted to, we could just wait?
Do we know yet what will happen as far as OTA updates on rooted phones?
Will OTA not even be offered to rooted phones? Will the OTA complete and then phone won't be rooted? Will OTA complete and then phone will still be rooted?
Will OTA Rootkeeper work?
Coming from a Droid X, I know that OTA wouldn't go unless your phone was nearly 100% stock.
Not sure how things working over at Samsung.
I hopefully will finally have my phone next week. With the consideration that I'd like to restore apps and appdata via Titanium, I'm wondering what the best way to proceed would be. Root phone immediately, restore with Titanium, then get the OTA (if it will even run on a rooted phone?)? If I lose root for a short time after that, I could live since I've already restored my data. I'd really like to keep things as close to stock as possible, with the exception of obtaining root.
Hi all,
Just got this I usually root and install custom firmware, but in the case of this tab I just want to root. my question is if I root the tablet will ota System updates be disabled?
Thanks
Only unlocking the bootloader will shut you out from official system updates
This is my first time trying to root a phone so sorry for noob question
I have build version 34.0.A.1.264 and it says the software it is up to date but I know it's not, Sony website says 34.0.A.2.xxx is available.
So should I try to update my phone or will the .img in the Xperia X root thread work even though it says it is for 34.0.A.1.277 devices ?
Also, will I be able to update OTA without losing root ?
Thank you !
Most OTA updates no longer work with root because they now work on a per-block (instead of per-file) basis, and will not run if any file on any updated partition was changed. You need to unroot and restore the system partition to the exact state it was before rooting, then install the OTA, then reroot. It might be easier to just flash a ROM with the OTA integrated.
