As I said in the title. I want to root my optimus 4x but I still want to update my phone via OTA, so if I root it, will i be able to update it via OTA?
And if not, will unrooting with SuperSU help? Can anyone answer this for me, please? Thanks in advance!
As far as you stay with your original stock rom, you're still eligible for OTA updates.

I'm currently on a Verizon MotoX rooted via PwmMyMoto-1.4.3-Verizon
And I'm thinking about grabbing MotoXposed 0.6.
Questions
If I get MotoXposed 0.6 would it be safe to get the 4.3 OTA for VZW when it comes out?
Did running PwnMyMoto-1.4.3-Vzw ruin my ability to safely update via 4.3 OTA?
Do you feel that 4.3 OTA is even worth worrying about? Or should I not even care because it would be harder to unlock the bootloader
Thanks!
Because you are using pwnmymoto - you will not be able to receive the OTA. The OTA will need the stock recovery to apply itself. You no longer have the stock recovery.
If you decide you want to receive the OTA when it releases (should be about a year in VZW) then you just need to restore your phone to stock...

ah figured so, thanks for the clarification!
Hey guys just wanna ask, is it possible to be Rooted but running fully stock with OTA updates? I just want to have root on my One without customizing it.. Simply Rooted and full Stock with OTA updates.. Thanks in Advance!

if im not mistaken once your bootloader is unlocked you cant receive OTAs anymore. At that point what you can do is manually flash the new OTA.
I'm not sure if its that simple though, I've never done it like that, just custom roms.

As long as you have stock everything, besides the root of course, you can sideload ota updates through adb. i sideloaded kitkat when it came out.
By stock I assume you are running a Sense One and not a legit GPE?
When you unlock the bootloader on Sense it wipes a few apk files (no clue why, seems idiotic) and thus OTA will be broken as the expected APK will not be present.
So you have to unlock bootloader. install recovery, flash super SU. then restore missing apk files and then flash back stock recovery. A bit of work but it can be done. here's a thread about it.

Thanks for the reply guys.. Yeah, it's a bit annoying why can't have ota after rooting. I just needed root and nothing else... Hmmm.. :banghead:

Good evening, just want to clarify, if my Phone was rooted am i able to get ota updates?
Yes, of course. As soon as you get one offered you need to flash the stock recovery and then you can start.
Hello,
Please, I was wondering if someone could help me on how to update stock 8.0 rooted moto g6. I don't want to lose root. I have flashfire but I don't know where the phone stores the Ota once it downloads it.
Thanks.

You can't
You have to flash to stock. Then reroot. I wouldnt recommend using flashfire unless a guide on here has said to. these devices are a little advanced to root so you must read everything also. No skimming please.
Is there a reason you can't re-root after OTA?
