yes of course but once your phone is updated you will lose the root

Please do note that if you have performed some tweaks in /system, your OTA update may fail and cause problems. Oh, and make sure to make a nandroid, then flash the stock recovery and then perform the update. Can't go wrong when you got a nandroid.

How do we update firmware once rooted?

Title says it all.. I read that once you root the hero you cannot receive firmware updates OTA. Is this true? If it is, then how can we update our devices?
I had a stock ROM rooted, and was able to receive the OTA update and it successfully applied.
So I have MoDaCo installed, can I install the update over it?
thank you for any help
Anyway to install with a stock rom, without using the built in OTA update tool?

Somewhat. I received the update OTA but it wouldnt install due to the custom recovery image.

Not from sprint, but you can load the newest FreshROM over it and be updated. However be aware that the rom breaks the link between media being played the and bt device.

I assume there should be a download of it somewhere, if not sprint, google, or HTC, then on some forum....

I rooted the phone and after the update I had to re-root. The doomlord root script worked perfectly the second time too.
upgrade failed
I've rooted by Galaxy note and the upgrade failed. I think the downloaded is ok, but it has booted into recovery mode. Has the upgrade file downloaded to somewhere, so that I can find it and upgrade it in recovery mode?

As you have TWPR so you may unable to do the OTA update, then you will need to do full update, yes, you need to do everything again...

I asked HTC why I can't receive the ota update...they said that my bootloader is unlocked so I can't receive the update
And btw my phone os number:
1.29.401.2...so I think I have to update to 1.29.401.5 before the lollipop update and I can't receive it

Moto G 1st Gen: Actually Got a Security Update

So this morning I received a notification about a new security update for 5.1 with patches up to march 2016.
Pretty impressive that Moto still pushed this out for a phone launched in 2013
so how can I get this on my rooted xt1033??

I think to get OTAs you need unmodified system partition.
My XT1033 is rooted and I still got the update notification, though I haven't updated yet.
Will it remove root access?

With Root-access file explorer, browse to /cache and the OTA zip should be obvious. Copy / move to /SDCARD. Do this after accepting download but prior to flashing it.

um on indian firmware, rooted didn't get any notification.

Yes, I'm on brazilian firmware.
I've attached the update file here.
Just applied the update, phone still rooted. Didn't see anything different yet.

It's only a security update, with the majority of changes being related to files in /system/lib. On the surface, Android will be no different at all.
please post for asia firmware
Here's the US version attached.
My system version is reported as 221.21.58.falcon_umts.AWSRetail.en.US, but when I try to install the Moto update from TeamWin, it tells me that the package expects .../falcon_umts:5.1/LPBS23 etc../release keys and that I have .../falcon_umts:4.4.3/KBX21.14 etc../release keys.
Any idea?
I had a problem installing this security update.
I made a thread about my issue in Q&A here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/stuck-motorola-bootlogo-security-update-t3364145

It's mostly the recent stagefright patches + other security stuff it seems
This update broke my gf's system, she was running the brazilian 5.1, rooted with TWRP recovery installed.
Don't install this unless you flash stock recovery again and unroot, or flash the full firmware again, then apply OTAS, then root and install your custom recovery. (as usual with any OTA on a rooted system).
So good that Motorola had supported our phone for 2 years, could'nt be more satisfied.

You broke your gf system, by updating without firstly restoring everything to stock, next time think before acting
will optimised stock rom's recieve this update?
