Hi all!
About 2 months ago I rooted my Arc S using Zergrush. Today I got a notification there's a new system update. I'm guessing I shouldn't update. Am I right?

You can do it via OTA if you have a locked bootloader and remain root.

I can confirm that... Did OTA for My Missus's Xperia Mini and My daughters Xperia pro.. both updated fine.. and both still rooted.
How do I know if I have a locked bootloader?

Yours is locked when you ask that question
Did you unlock it?

I think that if you had removed system files like removing bloatwares your phone will not be rooted after you update . However backup your stuff , update through you mobile update center (found in your mobile) , if not rooted downgrade again .

I'm from Italy and I tried to update from mobile, but at the end it says that it's impossibile to update.
I have my mobile rooted with DooMLoRD (without unlocking bootloader). Is this the problem? How can I update my mobile?
I rooted via gingerbreak.
2.3.2 and only ota updates. Where does your phone reboots? Mine is on third phase. Arrow is selected to phone,- third phase.
Stock everything, bootloader locked.

is anybody here updated 283 (global) -> 42 (global) via OTA and with unlocked bootloader (pinpoint one)? Didn't find that this would brick phone..
Install failed from .283 (global) to .42 (global), rooted, bootlocked.
So wtf xD, what happened?
Hi
Just a quick question , is it possible to root again on 4.1.2 if you were on 4.1.1 stock only rooted not unlocked.
Without loosing all the data?
Cheers

Why would you want to relock?
Just unlock, root and be done with it.

Unlocked and rooted now. Just made the regular backup through rooting toolkit and voila and everything back to as it was after restore. Didn't take too LNG either for backup or restore.

@krelvinaz
as unlocking bootloader is not necessary for me (i dont flash new roms , ...etc )
also you know that feeling you are doing something wrong took me awhile (lack of courage) to root
@ghostaa
noob question , did the backup restores everything (even the widgets you placed on your home screens, i hate to customize it again)
Nope backup didn't restore the widgets but apart from it everything else was!
Hope this would help...

Hey guys I have a factory unlocked phone which I bought from china, and I also have it rooted, my friend wants me to to update to JB but I'm not sure if I have to unroot my phone to get the update and also if I unroot it will I loose my factory unlock? I'm using it in the United States right now. With carrier t-mobile.. I've also seen other posts about being slow after updating if it's international so what should I do?

The open bootloader never gets locked in any way

What does that mean?

I am using the stock JB and its very fast and smooth. You will have to unroot if you want to update via OTA, I have read others say that you can update via Lies without unrooting, but I can tell you for sure. As for whether you would lose your unlock the short answer is no.
How do you root the Verizon GALAXY Tab 2 7.0 running JB 4.1.2? Just picked up my device today and it auto updated while I was gone from the home..
Look at the root/bootloader/recovery thread in the Development. Quick search goes a long way
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sitesearch.php?q=verizon%20galaxy%20tab%202%20root
How do I get rid of this Custom icon with an unlock icon that shows up when my device boots? On my S3 I just had to unlock the bootloader to get rid of it. How do I do that on the Tab?
Did you follow all the steps in the root/BOOTLOADER/recovery thread?

All I wanted to do was root the device so I did not do any of the unlocking stuff. Do I need to unlock like I had to on my S3 to get rid of the custom unlock icon on boot?

If you follow steps 1-3 in the root bootloader recovery thread it'll get you rooted unlocked and custom recovery. Lol

Hey Mr. Hyde
I found your thread here on rooting the VZW tab 2 7.0:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1885558
And was wondering if it works for the VZW tab 2 10.1, SCH-i915
I've been scouring this site for months now and still have yet to find a working root. Thanks!
This is a system image from the i705. It MIGHT be compatible with the 915, but I can't say nor do I recommend it unless you get have a stock odin image to flash back to.

Ahh ok thanks! I'm looking for a link on how to make my own stock rom from my i915 because I haven't been able to find any stock roms for it on the forums so far. Just gotta figure out how to do that haha.
Is there a stock image for the I705?
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0
Only the stock rooted version. No leaked Odin firmware unfortunately.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using XDA Premium HD app
So if anything happens I can always Odin the stock rooted version right?

If anything happens to your ROM, yes.

I just hope it can still get OTA updates. Nut then we would need another custom kernel wouldn't we? OTA rootkeeper would keep the root.
Another custom kernel for ota? Nah, Just wait for one of us to rape the ota and make it safe for custom users then wait for updated builds.
