Can I still use the KIES to update to Froyo 2.2 (if official out) after rooted the SGS?
What about after rooted the SGS, if I factory reset the SGS, will this make it unrooted?
of course you can
thanks for your help

will updating OTA from a rooted phone will unroot my phone automatically ?if yes will it delete everything ?

If flashing v2.2 RUU will unroot your phone.
Be aware that 2.2 can not be rooted, so this will be a one way ticket. Ofcorse unrevoked is working to root 2.2 also.

Which version of the rooted ota do you have installed?
Sent from my PG06100
Or is it more like "was rooted before upgrading"?
Yeah my bad, I waited til they released a rom with the official upgrade, hope that makes sense
If your rooted and just running a rooted "official update" ROM then you can flash whatever you want. As long as you didn't accept the Gingerbread upgrade pushed out from Sprint and still have s-off your good to go.
I've seen a few questions on the forum asking how to root a 2.3.6 SGS2.
DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit was a very easy way to root, without having to flash insecure kernels and all of that, and was great if the goal was just a rooted stock device. It was perfect for me, as all I wanted was AdFree, Titanium and OpenVPN on my device.
Unfortunately, the exploit the Easy Rooting Toolkit used seems to have been fixed in the SGS2 2.3.6 firmware and the toolkit doesn't work any more (see, for example, here).
Before I upgraded from 2.3.4 I prepared myself to mess around with ODIN to get root back after upgrading.
Imagine my delight after upgrading (via OTA), that I still had root without doing anything at all!
So it looks as if upgrading a rooted 2.3.4 stock firmware to 2.3.6 results in a rooted stock 2.3.6 firmware (for I9100XWLA4, at least).
Which means that the easiest way to get to a rooted stock 2.3.6 SGS2 is to root it using DooMLoRD's toolkit before upgrading.
Sorry if this is obvious and, if not, hope someone finds it useful.

not everyone can update or have the option to update OTA!
whats so hard about using ODIN to update then flash CF-ROOT?!
Hi
Nice to hear - I'm on 2.3.5 Nordic and expect an 2.3.6 update before ICS arrives
But also a bit strange that you keept ROOT!
Other attempts using zergRush Exploit on 2.3.6 have failed as far as I know.
Could it have to do with the fact that you updated through OTA and not KIES?

OTAs just replace things that changed - KIES does what is effectively a full Odin flash.
Hi guys, I'm using darky note, gingerbread version, I have been very happy with it for months.
Today I got a notification of a Samsung OTA update to ICS. is it safe for me to do an official update over a rooted note with a.flashed ROM?

If you're just rooted on stock firmware, you can update, although you will most likely lose your root. Remember not to use factory reset while on ICS.
If you're on custom firmware and somehow got OTA notification, do not attempt to update.
Alright, so i rooted my Razr M a while back and now with the news of the 4.4 update i want to know how to remove it for the eventual update. It is on the Stock ROM that is Android version 4.1.2. I would have updated to the lasted update but the fact that i am still rooted is preventing me to. Any help please?

A factory reset should restore to unroot or RSD flash your current version of Android to your phone.
I highly doubt an upgrade to 4.4 will allow us to keep our data so chances are you'll be wiped clean on the update anyhow.
BACKUP YOUR DATA!
Voodoo rootkeeper will NOT work to maintain root above 4.2 so a new method will be required if you wish to root once on kitkat if your bootloader is locked.
If your bootloader is unlocked you can reroot once on 4.4 by flashing a custom recovery then installing a SuperSU.zip package.
