Quick question.
If my sensation xl is rooted will it still take the ICS update over the air ?
My phone also has the bootloader unlocked.
I keep checking for an update but nothing yet in the UK.

It states on disclaimer before unlocking bootloader that it may void warranty and you lose the opportunity to.receive future official updates. So no while bootloader is unlocked you won't but nothing out yet

Oh sorry too lol. As far as I know relocking bootloader and flashing stock ruu should allow you to once again receive updates

When boot unlocked you're unable to install stock rom (ruu).
It will stoped after boot in fastusb mode and can't flash images.
And recieve update through tha air (fota) you can only from stock rom (ruu).
So you need to lock boot, install stock rom and wait for update.
Support says to me: wait to the and of April.

I think that the only company which keeps it's promises is apple. Bec samsung and htc said that they will update galaxy tab and htc sensation Xl in the first quarter and nothing happen
But when apple said they will release OS 5 they released it at the date they said to all countries :-(

    when i get it, i think i can make universal update.zip for any rooted device, only flash via recovery needed i think

    still waiting for it

    i'd be wary of updating fota as you'll most likely lose root access, if you use it, and you might not be able to re root with the current method
