I think you will get untill you are on stock ROM. However root and custom recovery will be lost after update.

Dude, does it mean that it will be unrooted automatically after updating & I will have to root it again ?
Yes

Ya, your root will be lost after updating (most probably). You have to unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery and flash SuperSU again to gain root after update.
you will only get OTA, if you have Stock Recovery.
does not matter if your phone rooted. but you need to be on stock recovery so if you are deciding to root your yureka, root without installing custom recovery.
there is a official method for rooting without replacing your recovery on Yu forum.
Guys, I am noticing an unusual problem after rooting with CM ..After some days, even if battery is fully charged, Yureka shuts down automatically..This has happened once in every 4-5 days..Any clue ?
TIA

Hi
I have a rooted nexus S. When i first rooted it i had this issue
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1135929 and solved it using post #3.
Now when i get OTA updates the phone reboots and then the android icon with a package appears. the install begins but fails to and android with an exclamation mark icon.
I dont have logs because when i reboot the update isnt offered anymore for a really long time. does any one have any idea what could be wrong?
thanks in advance
The verify check has to complete and u need to flash it manually in custom recovery
I got this when I rebooted my NxS several times while the OTA was ready to be installed. It somehow got lost and couldn't be retrieved anymore.
As I couldn't find a solution I just reflashed the official 2.3.4 full rom and then got a) a working stock recovery and b) a working OTA again.
Official stock roms are signed and can be flashed via the stock recovery and don't need unlocked bootloader.
Thanks, i think i will wait for ICS and then reflash. I'm too lazy to do it all now and then again in a few months time.
Can you have permanent root with stock everything?

Depends on how you define "everything". You'll need at least an open bootloader to flash the superuser zip via a custom recovery(, can relock the bootloader afterwards).
I have a question about trying to Root the WIFI Xoom without flashing a Custom Recovery. With all the problems of going to 4.0.4 resulting from Custom Rocovery. Can root be acheived with standard recovery from XOOM?. Either flashed to device ADB? I pretty much want to stay stock rooted with no Custom Roms although bootloader is unlocked.....
bump for answer
Easy answer no...
Long answer possibly with rsd but as nothing is set up for this a custom recovery is your only real choice.. They are easy to flash n if u want stock just remove it n you can get ota updates

So I guess I could have just flashed the stock recovery from Honeycomb and tried the update. I will root again and in the future use that method. Thanks.

I have a rooted (no CWM changed) and unlocked Nexus 4 with JB 4.3.
I did not get the OTA yet and I wondered if it is because the phone is rooted. In addition, I read some problems with people who tried to update to 4.4 with rooted phones and are getting infinite bootloops.
Do I have to unroot my 4.3 for getting the OTA and achieving a successful installation?
Thank you all on advance

Why do you need OTA update when you can get the stock ROM in flashable zip file? All features are remain the same for stock ROM. Search and download it in the Development sections.

I am rooted and received the OTA notification yesterday. You 'SHOULD' be able to install if ALL you did was root. However, if you applied any mods that made changes to the system, the OTA will fail.

This is your best bet if you want to run 4.4. You'll need to install a custom recovery to flash the zip files. All the files and instructions are here:

Will flashing the stock 4.4 wipe my data, or it is like getting the OTA, that I keep my settings...?

Did you read the linked post?
First step after installing custom recovery is to wipe data/factory reset, so yes, you will lose your settings.

What I would like is to update to kitkat without losing my data.
I have the bootloader unlocked and the phone rooted, but when I go to recovery mode I get "No command" screen (is that normal?).
I was thinking of getting the phone unrooted, then update through the OTA, then root it again, just for making sure I don't break anything, but the "No command" screen does not look very good...
On the other hand, Would I lose my data if I "unroot" the phone?

To unroot, all you need to do is go into SuperSu, disable root, uninstall the app and then reboot the phone.
If all you have done is root the phone, and didn't modify anything else, then the OTA update 'SHOULD' install without a problem.
You can go to Android Police and download the OTA files and flash them via ADB, or you can just wait for the OTA to be pushed to your device.
If you decide to do it the manual way, there is one additional step you must take to ensure to keep your data I believe.

Thank you for your help gbarayah, I really appreciate it.
One last thing: I'm not pretty sure the only thing I modified was the rooting. I did not install any zip to modify my stock version, but there is something weird. I will explain:
At first I had 4.2.2, then I rooted and installed CWM. When 4.3 was released I got the OTA update correctly but I lost the root, so I rooted it again, this time without CWM.
Is the "No command" screen what is supposed to appear when I go to the recovery mode from fastboot menu? Or I would get a default recovery mode program?
If everything is right I will unroot for getting the OTA, but if not, I'm afraid I will have to flash CWM and the stock version, loosing my settings...
EDIT: Ok, I've just realized to get into stock system recovery I have to press VolUp and Power buttons once I'm in the 'No Command' screen, so I'm pretty sure I don't have problems installing the OTA update. Thank You!!!

Glad I could help. In the future, as long as you don't modify the system by flashing any modifications, you should be able to get the OTA update to install. Root doesn't affect this, and if you're worried about it, you can always uninstall it.
I opted to update using the stock zip files that were posted above and it worked just fine for me.
Hi folks! I have a Galaxy S4 GPE, rooted and unlocked, but stock otherwise. When I try to run the OTA update for 4.4.3, the phone reboots into TeamWin recovery and appears to start installing. The install errors out though. Can I not install the OTA update because I'm rooted? If so, would reverting the rooting allow me to install? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Is there a thread on how to do that? I seem to remember when I installed this recovery tool to root the phone, it wiped everything. Is it going to do that again? Because I don't want to have to keep wiping my phone every time a new Android update comes out just to be rooted.

I went through that method, and it's essentially the same thing, except that I'm downloading the actual update file myself and not letting Android handle it. Needless to say it didn't work. I also updated my TWRP to 2.7.1.0 and tried; no luck. I also uninstalled SuperSU to see if removing root would help. It didn't.

I am on 1.88.707.1 and have rooted my M9+ and have TWRP 2.8.7.0 recovery installed with S-ON (I installed Sunshine and it passed the tests and S-off can be done but I haven't.)
I also got this update notification, and downloaded it. But now, after the first reboot, it boots into TWRP and I have no clue how to apply this update.
Is there a way I can flash (only) stock recovery? How do I go about it? Can someone please help?

You can't do an OTA update with a custom recovery. Root is irrelevant.
