I like stock and I want to keep it stock but in the eventuality I want to try a new rom I would like to block the OTA updates, I know I can simply just not install it but once the new OTA comes out I'm going to see that notification all over the place. So What is the best course of action to block the OTA's?

Root the phone and use Titanium Backup to "freeze" the ATT update apk and the FW upgrade apk.

Will Unlocking + ROOTing my Nexus One prevent me from recieving future OTA updates from Google or no?
If you have a rooted G1 (reading your sig) wouldn't the answer be self explanatory?

Did you even read my question?
What does my Sig have to do with my question?
I have a Nexus One and I don't want to miss future updates, such as "Adobe Flash" which is a proprietary app and I don't want to miss out.
If you install ROMs, I assumed you would know that you cannot receive OTA updates anymore. Which I'm sure you do. I don't know personally if rooting your phone, and still using the stock system will disable you from receiving OTA updates. So I'm not of use here. Don't know why I posted here myself lol. Thanks for the harshly toned text ._.

i'm also interested in this question. i would like to root my n1, but i would also like to receive OTA updates from google. i don't plan on installing a custom ROM, just use stock and root for the purpose of wifi tether and a few other root apps. anyone?
I am wondering this as well. I installed the bacon addon from cyanogen and don't want to screw myself out of the ota updates.
Thanks.
You can't have everything people. Pick one. If you need to revert back, I wrote a tutorial.
Chances are you are going to see the updates here first. You guys should know that already unless you are one of those people that come in here, download an update and leave for a few months and recheck to see if there are any other updates.

Sorry, I'm not referring to running a custom ROM. I just want to know if i unlock and ROOT but, keep the original ROM, will I still get the OTA updates or no? So, if anyone knows, I'd gratefully appreciate it.
As far as I understand, as long as you're using the stock, signed Nexus One ROM, nothing would change that would prevent you from receiving OTA updates.
I'm not positive.
The reason custom ROMs do not get OTA updates is because they have the files for them removed, and in the case of the G1, the partition used for doing those is removed if you have the DangerSPL.
Simply rooting and keeping stock should allow you to OTA update still no problem, but like was already pointed out, the updates will be on here befor they are released OTA, and a good cooked ROM is 10times better than the stock.

If you do root and want your wifi to work you have to flash a rom i think, i rooted and didnt plan on flashing a rom but had to to get the wifi working.
did u root with superboot over a modaco, as i had no probs with wifi, after i rooted.

Why does this matter??????????????
If you rooted, you'd get the OTA updates faster than OTA people!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a 100% stock, un-rooted N1. I didn't get the OTA update within the first day, so I did it manually anyway.
What is the point of fearing that you'll miss out on OTA updates??? With root, that should be your *LAST* concern.
BTW guaranteed you will get Flash sooner with a rooted phone than without!
These threads make no sense whatsoever.
Hey all,
I am trying to unroot my phone via the OTA update.
I deleted some .apk and .odex from the system/app since I did not want them.
Anyone know where I can find these again? Link?
Tried searching in the Dev section but couldn't find it...
Thanks again all!
Same here I just rooted with unrevoked 3.3 and read somewhere that you could brick your phone if you accept ota updates after deleting stock app's is this true? I know ppl say to wait for a rom but gingerbread ota will be to tempting..can you just reinstall those apps or is .odex necessary?

No that's not true. Just don't accept ota updates, there's always a rooted update you can flash so you don't lose root. And a rooted 2.3 update will be the same as a ota update, just easier for you. And if you're really concerned about those Sprint apps you can always run the official ruu
Hi guys, I am a new member and know nothing about rooting phone. I just got my mt4g and the bloatapps are very annoying. I'm planning to follow rooting procedure on youtube and apply permanent root. I never root a phone before. Just one question: after rooted, will the phone still able to receive ota updates from tmobile and run normally? I am not going to flash any rom. I am keeping the stock rom but only remove stuff like yahoo, games, apppack, and some other crap that I am absolutely sure not needed on the phone. Thanks in advance guys.

Rooted phones may still receive updates via T-Mobile. However if you should install those updates your phone will get messed up. You need to call T-mobile and ask them to push the most current update to your phone, install it. Then root it. And from that point forward do not any install any update.

Hi! All. i'm looking for stock rom for iconia a500 for Singapore. Need to unroot it & install stock rom & receive OTA updates from Acer. Can anyone tell me how to determine which stock rom is for the Singapore market? I have Acer Recovery Installer installed with ClockworkMod Recovery rev1.3.4 by thor2002ro. I did not do a backup of my stock rom previously therefore now at a lost as to how i can revert back to official rom to receive OTA updates.

Well, folks, don't throw any bricks at him.
@wolvie77, you are posting this question in the wrong forum. This is for Development threads. It "should" have been posted in Q&A.
Secondly, you have posted the same question in 3 different threads. A big "no-no"
Thirdly, I already answered your question as best as I could in one of your other posts.
Finally, if you root and install a custom rom, you should already know how to roll back to an original rom, before you did it. If you didn't learn this, well, call it a lesson learned.
I'll help you a little, install a com gen 1 rom. Will it be be exactly like you had before? Probably not, because you didn't write down what you had before you installed a custom rom!
However, when Acer pushes OTA's, you will be able to receive them.
To roll back to stock, read the threads, or post the question in the correct forum... Q&A. (Questions and answers). Hell, you can post it General also.
Can having flashed TWRP 2.5.0.2 or a CWM based recovery in any way hinder/stop OTA updates or re-stock
via un-root and KIES and/or ODIN? Please overlook any obvious inherent stupidity in the question becsuse if I knew I
Wouldn't have asked. Give me something and I should be able to search out the rest.

Do A search for blocking the OTA, also normally when your on a Rooted rom, (NORMALLY) it stops the OTA's:victory:
if you are rooted, you should never take any OTA updates period...
you will likely lose root, the update may or may not complete, and it can cause problems, especially for someone new to rooting and android..
Eventually most dev's incorporate all the beneficial stuff from any ota update into their releases, so I never understand why people who are rooted even bother trying to make ota updates work on their phones..
does that answer help you out?

Oops, hit the thanks button by accident.
Anyways, you can always flash back to stock with Odin.

That will work, just remember you'll likely lose the ability to re flash you recovery or kernel since any update is likely to invlude a patched bootloader.

Keep in mind...we at xda usually get updates long before official users due to stock firmware leaks...so with that said we will likely have key lime pie touchwiz roms before its officially released
Also most importantly...if some super crazy ota like key lime pie is released...it will also very likely include patches to current exploits not allowing you to root or flash roms again until new exploits are discovered (our root method motochopper has already been patched by Verizon) - so if tour into flashing and rooting its always highly advised to not update until a dev gives the ok...
