I have a GSM Gnex running 4.0.2 stock rom, which I've rooted and replaced the stock recovery with clockworkmod.
Will a 4.0.3 OTA update work, or will I have to replace CWM with the stock recovery?
Edit: changed "stock bootloader" to "stock recovery"

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the ota update won't work if you have Cwm recovery. Bootloader isn't the same as recovery btw.

I meant recovery! Thanks for pointing that out.
I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

It won't work dude. But if you are already rooted try a custom 4.0.3 rom yourself Good luck.
Wrong thread.

Hey, I was wondering if only rooting my phone ( I still have the stock rom ) would prevent my phone from receiving OTA updates? My wife and I bought our phones at the same time, mine was even activated first, and her OTA update, which includes the wifi calling, came tonight, and I haven't seen mine.
So I was just curious if it is still going to come eventually, or if I need to just flash the updated version of the stock rom? Thanks
You will get the update regardless of what rom or recovery or rooted or unrooted.
Now in order to install it ota you need stock rom and stock recovery though. If you rooted and installed cwm recovery then you need to flash stock recovery.
If your rooted. On stock rom. And stock recovery(like I was) then no worries just install away.

When attempting to update with the official OTA update I get a message that says "Signature verification failed"
I am rooted and running Jelly Belly ROM.
Probably an issue with the update or your Custom Recovery

I just encountered the same thing. I'm with Rogers in Canada. I'm wielding the mighty Samsung Galaxy Nexus, rooted, stock 4.1. Is this my cell provider just blindly pushing OTA's to applicable phones without having something to verify what the phone's current firmware is? Can I assume that this is simply a legit copy of 4.1 being pushed to me despite me already having it ahead of the scheduled release?
I'm on a JB rom from here and I just got the OTA update message. If I hit restart and install will it brick it or is it safe to do? If its not how do I clear the message?
Mind providing a little more information? Which Jelly Bean ROM are you running? Is it stock? Is it custom?
If your entire phone is stock, then yes, update.
If not, don't update. Flash stock, perhaps 4.0.4 Yakju, then update.
If you have no idea, don't update. Flash stock, perhaps 4.0.4 Yakju, then update.
Don't be afraid of the search feature located on the top left side of your screen.

Can't help you if all you got is "this ROM". Flash stock 4.0.4 yakju using the toolkit by mskip. Then update.

Depends if its a stock image or a custom ROM you're running.
If you've flashed a stock image (doubtful because you say "ROM"), then you can accept it only if you have a stock radio, bootloader, system and recovery. Even if you're 100% stock but with a custom recovery (like CWM), you can't accept and auto-install an OTA. You have to install it manually.
If you're on a custom ROM, you cannot accept the OTA.
Hello!
The title pretty much says it all! Is it OK to update my One X through an OTA while I'm rooted on ICS?
Thanks :good:
Don't do an OTA update if you have a custom recovery ! As you can see in my thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2043818) you will be stuck on htc boot screen, and if you try some random method that you found on the web like i did, you might have to restore your phone with RUU . Make sure to have a stock recovery and a stock ROM before doing the update. I don't know if you have to relock the bootloader, someone with more experiences should be able to answer this
Root is no problem. You have to be on
Stock rom
Stock kernel
Stock recovery
Bootloader can also stay unlocked.

i dont see why you wouldnt still get ota updates. i could be wrong, but pretty sure youll still get them
for flashing to stock, rooting, and unlocking you can use the nexus root toolkit.
http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/
it will automatically download the stock image file which contains the stock recovery. i think its boot.img (within the stock file). you can also manually download the stock file here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
edit: heres a good thread that you missed

Are you sure is it possible to get OTA from google without stock recovery? If its true, is a good news!
The stock from [email protected] is have stock rom & recovery, I want to flash only stock recovery without rom and reset.
Thanks.

im not 100% sure because this is my first nexus device. but on my n7000 (international galaxy note) i got updates just fine with a custom recovery.
use the tool kit in my first post to flash stock recovery.
I got an OTA update on my deb/LTE with TWRP and SuperSU on it.
After the update stock recovery was flashed and my deb was unrooted again.
Just flashed TWRP back and the SuperSU zip. Everything is working fine!:good:
@shyd
Your bootloader are unlocked?
I will waiting to the next OTA to check it (with root, unlocked & TWRP recovery).
Thanks all.

Sure, otherwise I couldn't alter the recovery!
The bootloader lock/unlock state hasn't been changed by the OTA update!
Excellent, thanks all.

Also, if you want the OTA but don't want to have to unlock and root again, people usually post a flashable update that you can install via your custom recovery.
