    Default Software update

    My phone has a message for a software update, has anyone else received the same message? Will I lose being rooted?

    I was able to install the update without losing root. I was, however, running a stock image before I installed the update.

    Nice. Anything in particular you did to prevent losing root?

    Never flash a stock OTA on a rooted phone. It will have issues with your recovery and you will most likely lose your root access if you don't have recovery. Instead, manually flash your ROMs via custom recovery. Even if you are running rooted stock, you can flash another rooted stock and not have your concerns. If the message is from Goo Manager, that is a different situation.
    If you are inclined to spend a lot of money and want a pretty trophy with which to pass the next few years of your life that talks to you in a condescending voice, can't navigate to save its life, expects full control over all you do, demands $13 for a $3 purchase, allegedly has a single recessed button, needs an expensive computer and a credit card to do anything, hates your music and has purses designed just for it...

    Get married to someone you hate... or get an iPhone.
