If I were to install the leaked update would it render me unable to receive the official one or others in the future? I'm also rooted and know I will need to un freeze the bloat for updates. Does it also remove root and if it does can I re root it with the same method?

For the 8 millionth time, the LEAK is the OFFICIAL OTA.
There are several posts and threads about this, look around.
Well damn u don't have to be rude I don't have the time to surf around a forum so chill out

You really need to read the forum rules. Mods, please take care of this thread.

I've seen a few mentions if this, but never a straight answer (sorry if I just missed something similar to my post.) After a root, what is needed to perform an OTA update? (given that Samsung's eventually comes out) Will I need to unroot? Will it just work? I'm a noob for android, coming from WM.

From what I've read, and been told, just simply un root, and perform the OTA!

Also forgot to add this: if I unroot, will I still have my unlocked market sources? (Ability to sideload, w/e you call it...)

You do not need to unroot to recieve OTA updates. However when you recieve one it will unroot on it's own. Yes you will remove your unlocked market access, I am fairly certain that you need to be rooted to use this. I could be wrong about the later. There aren't any OTA updates at the moment so don't unroot prematurely. Just keep and eye on the forums and you will know when an OTA update is available and what you should do from there.
I've been keeping my eyes out, but thanks for the heads up. If I lose non-market access, will it uninstall my third-party apps?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
your apps will stay as they've already been installed..
Another quick question here, can you just unroot if you're using a different kernel (SRE) to get the OTA patch?
Thanks
Until we get a push it's hard to know if it'll work or not. Stay tuned to xda, I am.

Not sure how but this topic keeps getting missed in the failed update mayhem. One thing seems obvious bloatware are needed for update to succeed. TB cannot restore these. Is it possible for someone to share them so we can install. Wothout flashong ising oden
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Just use Odin.
Odin will delete everything though. Was hoping not to do that.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Also it seems ppl who used odin are the ones having problems updating. Does anyone have the att apk files and how can they be installed.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Look at the survey in general you have been pointed to in other posts. You don't need bloat to have a successful update. Designgears has made an update. You can get the apk's off a system dump in dev.
Please look around and read. I'm not trying to come down on you, but all the questions and concerns you have, all legitimate, have been addressed.

from what i can tell that stock app zip file ...is read to be renamed update.zip and pushed via recovery ? Is this correct ? thanks.
I just got a rooted Atrix 4G which is running 2.2.2 but I can't tell if its stock or not and I want to upgrade to Gingerbread somehow. I don't know what to do exactly in order to have it. So if some who has had the same question about this was able to upgrade to Gingerbread and could help me out that would be great. Also If i need to uproot in order to get it please help me out with that to I looked into aRoot and that seemed a little bit skeptical so just let me know via PM or the thread.

for starters, go to menu>settings>about phone and see if anything there gives away the state of your rom. also, is your BL unlocked (does it show unlocked on motorola boot animation)?
If your phone has all the blur content and has certain things locked down and such then chances are its stock.
another thing to check is whether or not your system is deodexed as most custom roms are.
I don't know a foolproof way of checking myself.
Alright well I don't think my phone has a custom rom on it but here is what I have just to make sure im right. I do know my phone does not have an unlocked b.l
System Version: 4.1.83MB860.ATT.en.US
Model:MB860
Baseband: N_01.77.15P
Webtop: oshwt_u1_4.257.30
Build number: OLYFR_U4_1.8.3
Let me know if I need anything else. I would take a screenshot but the app doesn't work for some reason.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
seems like stock. at any rate, the OTA image will fail to update during the version check if it's not. follow motorola's update instructions here: http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-EN/Android_Products/ATRIX-4G_Software_Update_Page

so if I try to update it to gingerbread while my phone is rooted nothing will happen? Or should I unroot it and then update it?

I received the SGH-i957 for work and they told us not to add any weird apps. What I want to do is remove some the crappy AT&T apps to use less resources. I have rooted an EVO 4g and a HTC Arrive Windows Phone as well as my old HTC Touch Diamond. I have been reading the different threads and I am just curious what you guys think the best method is?
It really doesn't use more resources

I appreciate your response but I would still like to root it.

If your work said to not mess with apps then I wouldn't really root it.
If you don't care about that, then just follow the rooting thread. I personally like the kernel root method

I will go into more detail I guess. I want to backup how they gave it to me and run it custom, be it remove apps or a new rom. I am worried about some kind of privacy issues. With my HTC Evo 4g I could backup the original rom completely and then uninstall programs or install a new rom.

Flash twrp and make a nandroid backup then do your root process.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda premium
Yeah, I am definitely rooting it. It is ungodly slow with only a few programs on it and it keeps using at&t data even though I have removed all widgets and have very few apps installed. I know that know one wants to hear me say this but every time I use Android I dislike it more and more. I am sorry if I offend anyone.

Ok, I got permission from the boss to root and either clean up the stock rom, remove crap, or load a custom rom. So should I just follow the guide in this and if I have to run a custom rom use the on in this thread. Do I have to use the twrp and nandroid backup to make a backup? Or can I restore the stock rom buy using Method 2 after I follow the Method 1 in the root guide?

Thanks for your help man. I want you to know you are not just helping me.
This is a root I recently came across online by a dev. I'm new to android so wanted to make sure this is safe to perform on my AT&T Note 3? Any suggestions. Go to this link to see the root provided: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2474422
check this thread your question has been answered there, i linked to the particular post
Designgears is a great dev. If he says it's safe then it's safe.

As long as you understand what you are doing at each step of instructions, it's safe. DG never goes wrong.

Agreed. I don't understand what to do hence why I have not rooted yet. Once I read and re-read all these subjects then I may give it a shot.
Does anyone know if this root method will prevent future OTA updates? I had my Note 2 rooted and had to go through hell and high water to search and install rooted/deodexed updates each time they were pushed out, as a result of rooting the device.

Rooting won't stop the updates but it will allow you to install titanium backup and freeze the services that the updates rely on.
You just have to remove the ota app. It's only an app on pretty much all android phones that actually controls ota updates.

Thanks for the responses. To clarify... I *want* OTA updates. I don't mind the stock ROMs (as long as I have root to freeze bloatware) pushed from AT&T. Note 2 rooted changed the device to "modified" and when OTA updates were available, they could not be downloaded or installed. Hence, I had to search for stock ROMs that had been rooted and deodexed.

actually.... Root de la Vega should stop ota updates already because it has a build number that samsung should never release a ota for.
