So I'm a first time Android user, just picked up the Verizon LTE Galaxy Nexus. Rooted it with the r3 superboot image. Mainly I just want root access so I can enable tethering, I don't really plan on doing much else with it. After rooting, does that mean I can no longer receive OTA updates? And if so, how would I update Android from here?
Thanks everyone!
Also I should note that other than running a web server, I'm relatively new with linux console as well.

you will receive. And it should update just fine, if you didnt change anything in system.
Awesome, thanks.
Also, in case anyone finds this, a lot of tethering apps weren't working for me. Couldn't start ad-hoc and create an SSID. The free one that I found that did work right away was Tethering Widget.

OTAs will either not install, or will install but remove your root. If you want to preserve your system and not chance anything just wait a few for the update packages to come out and flash them manually.
As far as tethering, I'd take it easy for a little while. Just rooting and installing a 3rd party app doesn't instantly let you tether the Verizon version. They still have their own tracking software thats going to block/ask you to pay for it. You're best off waiting for people to figure out what files need to be removed to make sure VZW isn't watching your tethering activity.
Awesome thanks for the heads up. As long as i can avoid having to reroot and set up all my personalization, then that would be great. So these update packages, do i install them the same way by booting into bootloader mode and installing it with fastboot?
And i think my last question will be is where is a good spot for me to pay attention to in order to find out when evdnts like these discoveries on tethering happen and the updates released?
Again thanks for being so helpful and covering my ass This is a pretty cool community
Is there a way to stop updates if you're rooted?

ok, so while best buy was activating my phone (which took a litle shy of 3 hours) , they updated the firmware or the software (whatever it is that was updating at the time). when i had a touch pro 2 i rellied heavily on xda-wifi program to provide internet to my laptop. am i screwed now that best buy updated my phone? how can i get my phone to provide wifi to my laptop? i am in the dark, and even tho i love the evo's speed it still does not compare to a laptop and what it can do. Please help. i feel like if i am in the dark ages without wifi hotspot.
Like the hero when it first came out, wifi tethering in it's classic form doesn't work yet. HOWEVER: Go enable your sprint hotspot app...I believe I heard that haven't locked it down yet so even though you're not paying for the service, it should work in a pinch.
I seen i lot of this going on at best buy while i was waiting in line. They didnt get to mine though.
hmm ill try it, im guessing using the sprint hotspot "free" until they fix it will be uncapped huh?
but now that they updated me, am i going to be able to root? i saw a few post that people were able to get wifitethering after root but it was kinda of tricky.
i, for one dont mind the sprint tv, navigation and other sprint stuff. i actually enjoy using them (i mean im paying for em right?). but i would like a program like xda-wifi (the one i had on my tp2) where all i had to do was run the cab and it installed the program.
is there anything out there now where i can use the wifitethering abilities of the phone while keeping my rom "LIKE" stock with all programs that came out the box?

when i go to sprint hotspot and check the sprint mobile hotspot it gives me "error code 67. Registration failure. your pcs vision username and/or password may be incorrect. please try again"
The (temporary) free hotspot only works on 4G.
ah, that would make sense...seeing as how im in boston and 4g not getting here till 4th quarter 2010...this is insane...what do i do now in order to provide my laptop with internet from my phone? if someone could help me with the root or something. but my phone is updated, can i even do it now?

I don't live in a 4G area. Last night I was able to tether my HERO, my iTouch (I know), my wife's PRE, and my laptop. But today, I get the "error code 67". Darn it!
You can root ur phone after the OTA if you go to http://unrevoked.com/m from your phone browser and download the .apk, then run it... seemed to work pretty good for me at least it appears I'm rooted now (I couldn't get wifi tether to work tho)
On a side note...anyone else use this method or know if this is safe and/or from a trusted source? I usually stick to XDA for mod stuff, I just happened to run across this, this morning someone on Twitter posted it
EDIT: I see the other thread, nvm

the only reason i would root is to get access to get access to wifi tether, otherwise i have no reason to root (im not into removing apps and stuff).
what other threat did you see that had to do with my issue?
the updates started the moment she activated my phone. saw the word 'firmware' and yelled "NO!", reached over her shoulder and hit cancel.
Hope so because my friend was testing my phone and when he gave it back it was doing the update. He told me there was an update available, but he made it seem like it was an update in the market place! Now qik force closes overtime I open it.

Hello- I've been reading around this site and I am not sure if what I've found is accurate, I could use the help of those that are informed.
I'm new to Android having only gotten my first incredible yesterday. I tried using unrevoked (v. 3.21 to the best of my knowledge) on windows after installing the appropriate drivers and was unsuccessful two or three times. It would hang at waiting for root or 'we can't get root,' were the two messages I'd receive.
I reset to factory from the bootloader and tried this again on my Mac machine- this was different but still unsuccessful. It would still say 'waiting for root,' however the phone itself was stuck powered on with nothing on the screen. It took me unplugging the mini USB and removing the battery to finally get it to power back on and show something on the screen.
With that said, is there an update from Verizon that causes unrevoked to no longer work? I read that somewhere but am unsure how recent the information is.
Secondly- what I really want to do is enable the Wifi Hotspot feature without having to fork MORE money over to Verizon- am I going down the right path to enable this?
Lastly- can someone please provide a good thread I can read up on regarding handling future updates for Android OS- I assume OTA updates are disabled once rooted, how do I continue to make sure my OS is up to date when this is disabled?
Thanks in advance for your help!

You most likely have the latest OTA update, which patches the exploit that UnrEVOked 3.21 used to get root. They are currently working on a new exploit for the recent OTA update now.
If you want free wifi tethering, you don't exactly need to root. This'll do the trick: http://www.tweak3d.net/forums/showthread.php?54386-Android-OS-htc-incredible-free-wifi-tethering
Usually the OTA's get incorporated into later ROM releases, so all you'll have to do is download and install the new release for your custom ROM.
If you prefer to have a stock, but rooted ROM, you can download the rooted stock ROMs that usually come out after OTA updates.
Or, usually, there are leaked updates released before the official update comes out. Those are also rooted and usually posted here as well, if you want early release things.
I hope I helped you out, need anything else cleared up?

Woah. I've been searching these forums for two weeks looking for this, and thought that my only choice is to root the dang phone. Does this not alert VZW about the usage, or can they only tell how much data is being used?
I just tested this with the "wifi hotspot" app that's on the (unrooted) Incredible, and holy crap it worked! If this works out then I've just solved my only major gripe with having the Incredible on Verizon!

By changing the dun nai, its supposed to disable the "tell VZW I'm using this app" thing. I'm not sure about this one, but I think they can still see you're using data, just not that its from the hotspot app. Just know, if they can somehow track/tell you're using it and you get caught, I'm not to be held liable lol. Blame the guy who made the post I showed you lol. Just a little disclaimer, just in case.

SetCPU was a big selling point in my eyes back when I first rooted. You can underclock the processor while the screen is off to help save battery. But, that kind of stuff is built into some kernels now (Kings BFS6, for example). But, if you want your phone to run a bit faster and smoother, you can overclock. I also like running different ROMs with themes and stuff. The customization is pretty neat imo. Like on this ROM: I have a few (6) quick settings I can change in the notifications bar. Just little conveniences like that win me over lol. And, there are leaked versions of official releases incorporated in to ROMs earlier than they're rolled out. I was running Froyo back in late July lol. Applying different ROMs/updates to the ROMs isn't hard or inconvenient at all... Only when your battery is low does it suck lol. If you wanna remove bloatware, no problem. And, if you ever mess up somewhere, you can usually apply a Nandroid backup you previously made and be good to go.

I have read threads where it says that if you root but don't change system files or install other ROMS that I will still receive OTA updates...
I've rooted and ROM'ed every phone I've owned since the old HTC windows mobile bricks and I've decided I am happy the way this phone works stock. I want to be able to stop the camera sound, use titanium backup, and be able to wifi tether, all of which I believe need a rooted phone...
Would changing the above settings get rid of my OTA ability? What exactly would it take to lose the OTA update ability?
Yes, best to be on a stock rooted ROM though. You will lose root after update though. To lose OTA update, a dev would have to disable it or I believe too much modification to the system framework will cause the recovery to detect an incompatible build.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Except for the camera sounds, the others shouldn't prevent you from getting OTA while rooted, though I would question why you would want to, if there are rooted versions of the OTA on XDA (which is an assumption)
With the camera sounds, if you just eliminate the sound files for "shutter" I think you will be ok because it is unlikely those will be files the OTA is looking to patch.
However, if you get rid of the "focus" sound, you need to change the camera.apk for that, and if you do that, the OTA will very likely try to patch camera.apk, find that it has changed, and exit with an assert() failure.
Well, I just would like the OTA updates to work and be done with them. With my old Epic (which was stolen yesterday) I had to always hunt down the OTA update and fight through it. I just kinda want the phone to work.
However, if the camera sounds are going to screw with an OTA, I just might have to live with finding the rooted OTA again....

Does foxfi work with ics roms on our phone yet?
Always, no I mean NEVER EVER accept an OTA. Someone here in the forums will get the OTA, make it into a flashable zip (or tar for Odin), and post it so all of us can enjoy it.
Once you accept an OTA, who knows how long it may take to root the new ROM. I saw this way too may times in the EVO4G thread.

If you have any problems, don't leave negative feedback. Contact the Developer. I promise, they will correct the issue your having. These Devs are absolutely amazing! I originally emailed them about Foxfi not working with my DROID RAZR MAXX 4.0.3 ICS leak. They emailed me back and forth for about 45mins while changing code in the software trying to get it going for me but, it didn't work. I received an email today with a new apk link attached and it worked beautifully. You guys are awesome, I would gladly pay you for all your hard work! This priceless app should not be free. It's too valuable for people without root! I will recommend!

My first post. Poked around for a couple hours now and can't find anything regarding my issue on XDA or anywhere else so here goes...
So after about a month, I finally got around to installing the OTA to, what I was under the impression of was, ICS 4.0.8 with Sense 4.0. The phone rebooted, did its thing and congratulated me on a successful install. The first thing I tried to do update my Gmail widget to a stack type widget, which I was told required 3.0 or higher. I then attempted to download and install an app which is compatible with 4.0 and later. This also failed. I then check software info under system settings and noticed my Android version was still 2.3.4. From what I can gather, the current Sense version is not stated anywhere in the Droid Incredible system info as it is on other HTC devices, but I doubt that this was updated either as I have seen 4.0s implementation on other HTCs and have noticed no discernible differences in my interface. I have since power cycled, pulled my battery and reprogrammed my phone but Android version still shows 2.3.4
My question is: was this OTA update actually for ICS and has failed to install properly on my device or have I completely misunderstood what the update was for? Perhaps some sort of firmware patch or build update. I was really looking forward to installing the Chrome browser. Any help or clarification on what has happened would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

The dinc isn't getting an OTA of ICS. The new OTA was just a bug fixer. Here's what changed with the new OTA. http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ncredible-has-a-small-ota-update-coming-soon/
There's quite a few ICS roms, not sure if Chrome works on all of them but I have used it on a few. Just my 2 cents, Chrome isn't ready for prime time yet, it's cool to have but not ready for daily use.
Dang, so no ICS w/o root. I guess it misinterpreted the update list. Suppose I'll be getting a new device sooner than I anticipated. Thanks for the clarification.
Not sure your situation but if you are on an unlimited plan and take a subsidized phone from Verizon, you will lose your unlimited.
Lots of good stuff on the dinc is out there by rooting. I couldn't imagine owning an unrooted phone. There's tons of info on here and people are more than willing to help you with the root process. Give it a thought. Good luck.

I think what you saw was OTA 4.08.605.15 which I suppose you could have interpreted as being Android 4.0.8 but the OTA build number and android version are not the same at all. That being said, I would highly recommend rooting your phone using this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506258
and then flashing one of the ROMs in this forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=638
There is so much developer support for this phone that it is posed to get JB soon (in fact, already has alpha builds) and already has several very stable ICS/CM9 Builds, I would recommend this ROM by mamarley which is a linaro optimized version of CM9/ICS:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1759007
Like I said, unless you are looking for more out of your phone in terms of hardware for instance if you want a front-facing camera or something then this phone is still great and very well supported by Devs and users alike - Don't give up on the dinc, just yet, it is the phone that will never die!!

I'm currently on a legacy VZW Agent plan with unlimited data under which I am told I must furnish my own equipment. I have a My Verizon account which tells me I am eligible for upgrade though I do not know what will happen if I attempt to use it. I assume I will either be forced to update my Agent plan to a current one w/o unlimited data or switch to current consumer pricing, but maybe not.
Under my current situation what would you recommend I: attempt to upgrade my device via My Verizon and potentially lose my unlimited data, purchase a newer 4G device at MSRP (I have my eye on the HTC Droid Incredible 4G/LTE) or root and keep my Dinc which I have been strongly considering the past several months.
I now live in a 4G market and feel like I'm losing out on the 4G speeds even though I have Wifi access at home and work. The idea of deleting bloatware, increasing the amount of storage allocated for application data and free mobile hotspot with unlimited data is also extremely appealing to me. If I did upgrade to the new Dinc 4G there's no way I would risk rooting it. Also, if I did root is there anyway to install ICS with Sense 4.0 on my Dinc? I just don't know if an older device has the hardware to run some of the newer apps and games I've had in mind.

Not sure what you're issue with Chrome is, but it's easily ready for "prime-time", only browser I use anymore on my devices. No issues to report.

I currently have 1,500 minutes, 300 SMS, unlimited data and 50% of all other features like NFL Mobile and VCast that I only use during football season. I always exceed my text allowance though they never charge me extra. I pay approximately $30.00/mo. during the off season and typically use less than a gig.
My Dinc had been power cycling shortly after my phone went to sleep since I updated a couple days ago. I've since wiped the entire cache partition after booting in recovery mode and all has been well for a couple hours now. We'll see if this trend has continued through out the night tomorrow morning.
It would sure be nice if my Dinc had an official OTA update for either ICS or Jellybean

Is there a way to disable auto updates permanently? I've tried to disable it in developer options but to no avail, whenever I'm rooted the damn phone will still try to download the newest update and eats through my data. The only way I found was a firewall app to block it, but I'd prefer a command or something to disable it as I sometimes forget to enable the firewall again (works through VPN and some apps don't let me use their apps with VPN so I end up having to turn it off). Any help or advice is appreciated! Thanks
I think if you switched to a custom rom that doesn't use the usual update, such as Pure Nexus, that would probably do it. Personally I have started using FlashFire just to make OTA updates on the stock rooted Pixel easier. The only other option I've ran across is the following. The link keeps my phone awake and doesn't allow deep sleep, so I have no idea if the following actually works or not, since I didn't use it long enough to get to a new update. One poster indicated their firewall was still blocking traffic after making the change, yet I don't know if updating a phone and then making the change would work or not, assuming someone was okay with their phone not going into deep sleep.
