Hi,
I'm running rooted frf83 and just checked my phone and it seems to have downloaded an update and is prompted me to restart and install.
Will this lose my root and is the uk recieving frf91 via ota?
I got the same notification while using FRF85, if you're running a custom recovery image (Amon_RA) then it will simply fail once you've rebooted. This will remove the annoying continuous prompts to install it, and no you won't lose root. I'm also from the UK so it's safe to assume that the UK is getting FRF91
Can i root my froyo 2.2 keep the stock rom and receive OTAs? I basically want to have root without any modded rom's and be able to get OTA updates.
as long as you have the stock recovery you're ok for OTA
OTA updates will remove root, so you'll have to re-root.
You need stock recovery to apply OTA's and custom recovery to root.
Is your bootloader unlocked?

I searched forum for that solution, but without results.
It would be nice to have tutorial for this.

No my bootloader is locked
So then you'll be able to use an OTA but you'll lose root. With a locked bootloader that would be bad. Best to not use OTAs and instead rely on pre-rooted updates posted here. Of course you may need a custom recovery for that.

In regards to stock recovery, where can i get a copy of it. I wanted to return to stock recovery to get the OTA so i don't have to perform manual updates. I currently have Amon's recovery.

The "security fixes" in FRF91 include patching the exploit used to gain root with the bootloader locked.
So, if you revert to stock recovery and then install the FRF91 OTA - you will not be able to regain root unless you go back to a previous passimg, update to FRF85B and then install a repacked, pre-rooted FRF91 through custom recovery.
Basically, you can't have root on a fully stock FRF91 OTA
So to get root we now need to void our warranty? That's annoying.
No
From FRF91 you need to PASSIMG back to an earlier build, then update to 85B. The root with locked bootloader method works from there.
Then, as stated above, you can use a re-packed update to FRF91 to keep root. You just can't use the OTA to FRF91 and keep root.

Can I meet up and get you to do this, willing to pay. Have a rooted running frf50, tried everything to het this loaded, no luck?
Hey folks,
I've just recently done the following:
1. installed the 4.3 OTA update for the Sprint HTC One.
2. Unlocked my bootloader via process provided by HTC
3. installed Clockwork Mod Recovery, Touch version
4. used CWMR to install super user for root
Well, the application is there, but I don't have root. Root explorer says I don't have root, and Root Checker says I don't have root.
I have no clue why I don't have root, or what to do to get it that I haven't already done.
Help?
EDIT: Downloaded a newer copy of SuperSU, and that seems to have done the trick.
Hey guys,
I've just received my replacement phone and I'm trying to route it.
It came with 4.3 already installed.
I've unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM but want to s-off so I'm trying to root my stock (Three UK branding) ROM.
I've trying flashing superuser an superSU from recovery (CWM and TWRP) and they flash successfully and install onto my phone but don't actually give me root access!?
It also won't let me update the binaries in SuperSU
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Edit - I'd somehow managed to download an outdated version on SuperSU. It's working now. Silly me.
I have Orange UK branded razr i phone, finally the ota update to kitkat is available. I have root though,is the ota likely to fail? My concern is that if it does, I can't flash back,since from what I've read here Orange have done something that prevents unlocking of the bootloader (apparently the OEM commands fail).
Edit: I recently did a factory reset and no longer have SuperSU installed, yet apps still seem to have root access. Not sure if that helps or hinders.
