a friend rooted my device for me i only use the root access to see emojis...will he need to unroot my device for me to receive ota update to jelly bean?
ok so i can just leave my phone as is and still be able to update thats great thanks,will i loose root access once i update?Beat me to it.... Yup....
Let me see if I can answer both of your questions...
If your phone is 100% Stock Unrooted without any of the required bloatware removed and stock recovery, you should be able to get the ota without issue. We have seen people completely stock still have issue however few.
If you are rooted, have the stock recovery and haven't deleted any files it's looking for, you will be able to accept the update but may lose root. Get the ota rootkeeper from the play store and save your root. you can also use it to temporarily disable root if it makes you feel better.
If you are rooted and have a stock rom with a custom recovery there will be a way (most likely within hours of the release) for you to update and keep root.
If you are on a custom rom there will no way for you to get the update until your rom's developer updates it.
