06-13-2011 07:02 PMNo. You would have to unroot, and install the TBH 2-part file for rooted GB. Rooted users cannot get the ota, and the ota is not rooted yet anyways.

06-13-2011 08:30 PMI have heard of root only users getting the official OTA. The end result is 596 without root. The OTA is not rootable, yet, but you will be able to receive future OTA's. If you go with the TbH 2-part you will lose future OTA ability but you will be rooted.

06-13-2011 08:43 PMOh ok. Thanks for clearing that up. I was under the impression root did not allow you to ota.

06-29-2011 09:44 PMWell I am running rooted gingerbread. And yes you receive future updates if your rooted after you sbf back to stock before you take an update. That is if the DX will ever get another update. If you are still on Froyo root with z4 mod then install the 2 part zip files from tbh using D2 bootstrap. And stay rooted on gingerbread That easy

07-06-2011 06:02 PMLet me clarify this. IF you are on a rooted GB you will not receive future OTA's, if I understand correctly. If you SBF back to froyo or the stock unrooted 596 ( yes there's an sbf for that, too), then you will be able to recieve future OTA's, if there ever is another released for the DX.

07-17-2011 08:18 PMHello all,
How can I tell if my phone is rooted? I bought a Droid X on craigslist and when he sold me the phone he said he restored to factory settings.
I want to get official gingerbread update. What should I do?
Thanks in advance!
