I see mixed answers with this but can u still get OTA updates with s-off? S-off only, No root, stock rom etc.

I've asked this too and like you was still a little confused. Hope someone can shed an authoritative light on this. :)

You will get the OTA updates if you have the stock recovery installed as well as the stock rom.

When I first rooted to debrand from Vodafone to generic UK, I wasn't getting the OTA update for 1.50.401.1 when it was available, and it was because I still had clockworkmod recovery installed.

I flashed the original recovery, and the OTA update suddenly appeared.

I still had S-OFF.

Sorry, I'm a n00b...so S-off is okay but don't root yet?

I think both S-OFF and root are okay as long as you are on stock rom and stock recovery.

Definately S-OFF because I always have been since I debranded and have received 2 OTAs since then. I *think* I've been rooted too, but not 100% sure about that.
