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

I have a HTC Evo 4G with software version 3.30.651.3 from an OTA update. Is it possible to downgrade to the stock 3.30.651.2 rom then root the phone or is it to late to do anything after I accepted the OTA update?
I am trying to root my phone and use the stock rom. I am looking to root so that I can use OpenVPN. Any help would be great.
please and thank you
Kies or ota if you are into stock updates.
rooted and unlocked?
I just saw there is a planned update coming from Verizon soon. I am rooted, without a custom ROM. Will I lose Root if an OTA update comes through?
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..
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:
