does anyone know if you will be able to get the ota update(froyo), if your phone is rooted and running cyanogen rom?

sure about that?
As far as I know you can get the OTA only if you flashed the current leaked FRF50 froyo; then I don't know exactly if you have to keep it unrooted + stock receovery or not, but anyway you need that base to get the ota
I can be wrong though, but that's what I heard about

Within 4 hours of a release, it will most likely be repacked with root and made available for existing rooted users. It will be the same as the OTA update, except with root.
Of course it will.
Google somehow even cooperates with Cyanogen and other modders or at least stays in contact with them. Google knows that many Android users have rooted their phone and use custom roms, so it would be stupid not to care about them.
So, switching from a custom rom to stock Froyo will most definitely be possible, but of course, the roms themselves are built upon specific releases, so you will have to wait until those are updated to Froyo compatible releases then.

It was discussed 13245234 times, you can search the forum and get your answer. Short: no, you won't get OTA, you'll get notified and it won't get installed.

You are correct
If you're on cyanogen rom you will NOT get notification of the update.
OTA Updating is disabled in the Cyanogen mods. Im guessing to avoid issues with running modified software being over written by stock type software.
No worries though. You can either flash yourself back to stock if you feel the need or just wait a little bit for cyanogen to push out a rom with 2.2 as the base.

So im rooted and have done backup, also installed Fresh Rom 1.1
Now the question that i have is, if i ever needed to go back to a stock Hero ROM...all i would have to do is apply RUU?
Also inorder to receive any kinda updates in the hopefully near future from Sprint or HTC i would need have stock ROM running?
Thanks in advance

RUU does take you back to an unrooted stock phone.
Also, if you do want to get sprint updates you would need to RUU it back. Chances are however that if you get a Sprint update, our current Root will be patched, therefor you won't be able to run a ROM until someone finds a new root method. Which will more than likely be more difficult to find than the first root exploit was...kind of a Murphy's law thing.
XDA will likely have an update just as good or better out by the time Sprint does release theirs. Definitely will have the same update out for root users within 24 hours. At least historically.
O good, thanks for the verification... just making search... then i will await the communties update
I'm not too worried about undoing the rooting (unless there's an easy way) but how to I get back to Android 2.1 like I had when I first got the phone? Can I just install the stock ROM and where do I find it?
Thanks

Why would you want an unlocked bootloader with the OTA stock ROM? There is no way to relock the bootloader and regain your warranty.
CM is Android 2.1, just a better, faster version.
If you are concerned about OTA updates, the features are generally included in Cyanogen's ROM immediately upon release, but usually far before any OTA release.
No big reason why I want to right now but I like knowing there's a way to get back to stock in case something goes horribly wrong and I mess something up (and for the same reasons some of us reformat our computers often). I don't even notice a huge difference (speed and battery) running CM. I haven't installed many apps or themes though.

That's different than the stock rom, right? Is it possible to be unlocked and run the default rom that comes with the phone? Or is that combination not a possibility?
Sure you can do that, but I guess I just don't understand why...
You can always go back to stock everything except your bootloader will remain unlocked (unless someone finds a workaround or hack)
Anything you can screw up (except a bad radio flash) can be fixed by having an up to date Nandroid backup...
Just do what I do and make sure to Nandroid every other day or so. (Or before every time you change anything in the system/framework/boot/kernel etc.)

i think you can get the stock rom from here if you didnt do a nandroid backup
If i were going to sell the nexus one some time in the future, it would be good to know where the stock rom can be found. Some people don't want to be flashing ROMs all the time, and would prefer OTA updates. Once the phone is over a year old, the unlocked bootloader will be meaningless.
Simple, in the android development section at the top of the list as a sticky, [ROM] 22/Mar ERD79 -> EPE76 - Stock Nexus One images / zip / online kitchen / rooted, or heres the link, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=619801, it gives you the stock rom. happy flashing

Hi all,
I have gone through the rooting for dummies guide, but as my intentions are slightly different can anyone help me by briefly writing down the steps for Rooting and Keeping Stock Rom and keeping Stock Recovery so that I can update it when google releases 2.2.
Would highly appreciate it.
You shouldn't have any problems updating to 2.2 if you flash amon's recovery.
Which recovery you have has no bearing; so long as you're rooted, you'll be able to download 2.2 and flash it. If your goal is to make the transition from 2.1 to stock 2.2 as easy as possible then, sure, stay with stock. I figure CM will probably have a 2.2 ROM out faster than most stock phones would have been able to download it via OTA, though, so I'm sticking with CM5.0.6 and will update whenever CM does.
same here.

I am using Enom. With Titanium backup it really doesn't mean much to switch roms
My understanding is that once you install a custom recovery you can not get ota. They show up as available and are clickable but fail. This was the experience described at the last ota. Are you folks that are saying you can still get ota after installing a recovery speaking from experience? In other words did you have a custom recovery installed and sucssesfully update at the last ota?
Thanks guys for the input, but like krabman said, i also heard if you put a custom recovery you cannot get the ota to work! Any confirmation on that?
with custom ROMs and custom recoverys, you will not be able to install OTAs. Most custom ROMs disable OTAs since they kinda break the custom ROM functionality like root access. Most OTAs reboot the phone into recovery to update the software. A custom recovery like Amon RAs recovery can only accept ROMs and updates signed with test keys. Any update released by Google/HTC which is officially signed will not work.
But this should not prevent anyone from installing custom ROMs and recoverys since most cooks include the latest updates very soon, sometimes even before the official releases...
What if you follow the Original Shipping Tutorial to restore you phone's original recovery system?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614850
I would imagine if you followed that you would be back to a completely stock phone that would work with OTA updates.
But, if you don't plan on running any custom roms, why bother unlocking the boot loader at all? If you haven't already done it, I wouldn't.
Amon ra recovery can only accept ROMs and updates signed with test keys. Any update released by Google/HTC which is officially signed will not work. Nor will the stock recovery work since it loses its official signature when it gets ripped so the ota cant use it because it requires an officially signed recovery to install itself with. If this is incorrect then I look forward to being properly schooled. I can say that I have yet to find anyone that had a custom recovery on at the ota last time that was able to get the update and install it ota.

Well that's great news. I regret unlocking my phone more every day.
To be honest this is pretty much a non issue as far as ota goes. The stock rom with the ota on it, or in other words the lastest official release, will be available to download here within hours of its release and you can flash it like any other rom. If they do a rolling release it may well be you can download it before it becomes available over the air.

The reason I want to unlock the boot loader is to only use the metamorph and a few other launchers. I am a theme-freak so I could customize the look of the stock rom, but now that you all mention it, I guess I will stick with the Stock find other ways to theme it.
Thanks everyone.

After flashing CM's ROM, I was able to completely restore my phone to shipping state (sans relocked bootloader, of course), and then perform the 2.1-update1 OTA.
So yes, you will be able to update to 2.2 as soon as Google releases the OTA, but you'll have to completely revert back to stock in order to do it?
I'm not really sure about what I'm talking about, but I just wanted to confirm that you CAN perform OTA updates even after flashing a custom recovery image/ROM.
i updated my phone with the leaked 2.1 ruu it hasent been working good for me now im trying to restore back to stock when i run the ruu it gives me an error message saying bootloader error version too new or something like that.

You can't downgrade the bootloader (hboot) version, period. End of story. This is NOT the end of the world though! The 2.1 leaked RUU that you used should have been a rooted developers ROM so you can use that to restore your phone, install the custom recovery, then use whatever ROM you want.

does the bootloader stopper you from using a 1.5 ROM? does it stop you from completely unrooting? i guess what im asking is, can you still flash a stock nandroid and stock recovery, would sprint notice?

If they need/want to reflash, then they will notice. You can just wait 1-? weeks for the official 2.1 Ruu, which likely will use the new bootloader.
Look, the just posted a release signed with Release keys instead of test keys. Once this is put into a proper RUU with Root it MAY fix your issue, give it 24 hours.

They leaked.
@ jlem26
I read this from the sprint community forum:
From Android Central When it rains, it pours. Just got word of a new leak for the HTC Sprint Hero. No way of knowing if this is the final 2.1 version, but this one is signed with release keys so you will lose your root for sure if you're into that sort of thing. Anyone who feels brave and wants to try for themselves you can find it here. Remember, this is not official software from any carrier. Using this is at your own risk, and nobody here at Android Central is suggesting you try it, though we're more than happy to show you where it is. Thanks Beezy420! http://www.4shared.com/file/gfPzbRcS/RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2276515_R_si.html Haven't tried it myself...But I figured I'd post it..
I downloaded it, but I'm scared to try it.......
The new 2.1 leak is almost certainly the final, so the official Sprint update will prob. be out next week.
WARNING: the new leak is NOT ROOTED, and the old rooting methods will NOT work. (Someone took one for the team and already RUU'ed the new leak, and confirmed he could not root afterwords.)
Presumably someone somewhere is already trying new ways to root this upgrade.
I've attempted root three ways now. NO GO!
Yes, I took one for the TEAM and went ahead and ran the RUU, it's fast clean and works fine so far.
BUT.....it closes the ability to ROOT....you've been warned!
Thanks,
Bubba.
thanks for being brave! Have you had any problems so far.
No problems at all.
Phone runs smooth and fast.
Only issue is that I have NO root now. But I knew the choices going into this option.
Having said that, and being able to officially tell everyone that it in fact breaks the root abilities.....is there anyone attempting to get root with this version or will we just ignore it?
Thanks,
Bubba.
I don't see it getting ignored. I wouldn't be surprised if someone somewhere was already working on trying to figure it out.
Is the 2.1 Droid rootable?
Please move this to Development if you see fit (I can't post there yet.)
If we have moved to 5.7.893 with a modified kernel and radio, are we off the upgrade path? Are we in danger of getting stuck?
I understand using leaks carries risks I just want to understand what we are looking at. I know people are trying very hard to unlock the bootloader with the help of Cheesecake, and I thank everyone for that.
from what i have read and understand, yes you are off the upgrade path because of the kernel. you can get system and radio back to stock but not kernel yet.
Once the update "drops" it will be out there for people to flash themselves though just like the ones so far.
