    Say Android experts, does rooting prevent providers upgrades from getting pushed to the phone?

    Thanks Much: )

    The simple answer is yes. My droid is rooted, and Friday I got notified that an upgrade was available for my phone which was Verizon pushing out Froyo. I told it to install, it re-booted but then immediatly failed. No loss since I am running FRG 22 already.

    What about updating from PC if the manufacturer makes it available?

    You won't get the OTA update, but you are able to get the new OS file and flash it to update your phone.j

    Though if you are rooted and ROM'd, you probably will like it much more than any provider pushed update. The developers are continually taking the new components of those updates and incorporating them into their ROMs.

    what phone are you posting with? Not a BB....

    You can do that, thats how I got a hold of froyo FRG22. However, not from Verizon, from another site where they develope ROMS for the Droid.

    Better than your "Captivate" experience?

    Never mind - I'd just been in subscribed posts, not the Android section & missed it.
