[Q] About rooting and Software updates.

[ViolentR]

Hi, I just got a S4 Mini (old phone HTC Desire S) I like the phone so far and the stock rom that runs on it, however I'm getting annoyed with the battery drain issue that it's been having, and I saw on a topic where there is a modded stock kernel which may fix the battery drain issue which I wanted to give a try.

My main question is if I root my phone and flash the modded stock kernel and nothing else, will I still receive updates from the "Software update"/ OTA Updates?

Thanks for your time.:good:

No you won't be able to receive ota updates or through Kies.... Only you can do is reinstall a stock firmware through Odin
