Root and/or Clockwork Orange Recovery - Vibrant Android Development

Will having Root and/or ClockWork Orange recovery installed prevent OTA updates from happening or working?

No they're don't change the rom in any way, so ota updates should come through still.

So as long as you use the stock Rom, you will still receive OTA updates?

Hisham brother, may i ask if the Legend is available in Saudi? i want to buy one for my dad over seas but if its in stores i guess it would be better to buy from there.
Would you mind letting me know how much it is as well?

Already got it but mine says KA6.

That means KA7 is a leak above official..
Wonder if this will be the OTA? Hopefully we'll know soon.
IF this is the OTA, would loading it via ODIN be identical to getting it via OTA or would anything be missing/different?

yes I read that is why I said IF but as you should know from the past what was it JI2 that was out via Kies and then JI6 was the official OTA. I have yet to see anyone on any forum today saying they got an OTA for Froyo.

OTA Check App?

HI there,
got FroyoMod 2.5.0 running on my Milestone. Just wanted to ask wheter theres an App to see if theres any OTA Update waiting. I would not like to reflash to my old nandroid Backup and check with that... so is there an easier solution?
2.5.0 doesn't got any OTA Check within it (Under Settings is only telphone umber and such, but the OTA Update SEtting is gone... )
Thanks

For stock roms, there is an app called fota.apk which checks for OTA updates.
ah thank you.
is there some source where i can download fota.apk? I think most ppl want to get rid of it... but, I'm different ;-)
thanks,

I can get you the apk from the moto leak, but how will you access it. It is not linked to settings?
mh, can't launch it directly via file manager mh?

You will get it to install using FM, but it doesn't create any icon for you to launch.

Maybe theres some other way?
Thank you for all your kind answers! ^^
I'm 100% positive as soon as there is an OTA available, you will notice a new thread here saying something like "froyo OTA available"
But hey, it could take a while for something like that to happen (an OTA from Motorola)

S-OFF & OTA

If I flash the stock recovery, and re-lock the bootloader while having S-OFF could I take any OTA update, and still be able to unlock the bootloader and root? Would it keep S-OFF?
There is no need to take the OTA if you are S-OFF.
Then again there is NEVER a need to take an OTA.

Alrighty, so your a developer, how long do you think it would take to make the firmware available for us non-ota takers? I am just having troubles out of the 4.3 update. Thanks

Usually, after an update rolls out, someone puts out a flashable for s-off users the same day, maybe the next day, as soon as they have the download zip.

Being rooted doesn't prevent OTAs, modifying /system does. That said, it'll still notify you and download the update, it will just give you errors when trying to install it.

I know everyone is very happy and excited about the update, but do we really need a thread each time someone gets an update?
Isn't this the place to show your happiness?

Of course we need a new thread for it! It's like, super important and stuff. I think a new thread should be posted for every single member that gets an OTA!!
WHO'S WITH ME??!?!?
I can't start a new thread because i installed it myself few days ago.:crying:
Tempted flash back 4.4.4, then wait for the OTA so i to can start a thread so i don't miss out.:good::laugh:
As mentioned we do not need a thread for each person who gets the update, many have already and it has been posted in multiple threads. Please search before posting and creating a new thread.
