No need to unroot. The update will still work even with root. However, you need to flash back the stock recovery, or the update won't install automatically.
If you get OTA root keeper https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper by supercurio you won't even loose root after the update, well thats the idea. Our phone is supported and I'm waiting to try it out.

Flashed back to stock recovery,installed OTA Rootkeeper, selected "temporary unroot",checked for systems update, says"your system is up to date",still on 4.0.2 ICL53F. Any suggrstions?

Do you have the GSM version or the CDMA version?
ICL53F is the latest update for the GSM version. If you have the CDMA version, just update it manually. Look here.

You can run apps that require root...

You can run root apps, but don't have a custom ROM. If you don't need root apps, then don't root
Could be wrong but last I checked 4.0.2 was the last official OTA for the CDMA nexus as well. Only two or so people received 4.0.4 and that was a fluke. But like I said, I could be wrong.

This is true. 4.0.2 is the latest official OTA for GSM and CDMA. Until 4.0.4 is rolling out to everyone, I don't call it "official".

It may not be widespread yet, but if there is an official download link available (i.e., like this http://android.clients.google.com/p....signed-mysid-IMM30B-from-ICL53F.659e0a8f.zip), in my opinion it's pretty official.

hello all,
I have a questions about the root on my device..
Last week I bought a SGS2 4G Epic Sprint, and I unlocked for use on Mexico, Iusacell company...
currently the phone it's perfectly work is CDMA...
With the phone root and unlocked, I can update to new version of the Android..??
Regards...
Unlocking for use in another country and rooting are not the same thing. Are you sure you are rooted? Even if you are, there is not a stable Ice Cream Sandwich ROM ready for this phone yet.
I think the question is whether or not the firmware can be updated while rooted?

I was curious about that too. So if you're on a stock ROM w/root or a custom ROM and try to update it from the GUI will it just return an error or will it not even show there's a firmware update?

Yes, I am interested in the answer to this as well. What happens when a completely stock, yet rooted, ET4G phone tries to receive either a pushed, or requested OTA update?
I don't know if this is the same case, but this might help:
I bought a Nexus S 4g to use in Mexico, and after unlock, I was still getting the OTA updates, and after rooting too. but the problem I had when updating an OTA on my rooted phone was that when I updated the OTA update I lost my root access (since it was an OTA of a Stock not-rooted ROM)

If you are only rooted and take a ota update it will work and will remove root as no company is going to send a ota update rooted.... That is why they tell you never update a rooted phone as there may not be a way to root it again if you do.... Not as big of a deal with Samsung as we can root with Odin...HTC was bad about this ....

A few quick questions about the phone you just got:
1) Was it made in China or Korea?
2) Is the build version yakju or something like yakjuwx/yakjusc/yakuux/etc? You can find this with the Android system info app
3) Who did you buy it from?
Thanks!
Got my 4.0.2 update today in the morning (an hour ago) as well.
1. How to check that? Sticker under the battery doesn't have that info.
2. Mine is "yakjuwx". What does it say?
3. I bought mine in Lithuania/Europe and not from a mobile operator but from official store. Box says that it's made in Korea and distributor - Poland/Europe.
BTW, what has been fixed in 4.0.2?
i believe it's the latest if you're unrooted.. no official update for 4.0.3 yet..
Also recieved 4.0.2 today and got yakjuxw
My phone (i9250) just downloaded the 4.0.2 update. Upon reboot it got stuck on that android busy screen. After about half an hour I removed the battery. I could then boot into Android normally. It's still 4.0.1 and now claims there are no updates available.
My phone is rooted using the WugFresh method, but I did not install any custom ROM. Is it to be expected that a rooted Galaxy Nexus would fail OTA updates?

not an official OTA, but the official 4.0.3 update itself is right there on google's servers for any nexus user to build for themselves. Build your own zip.
There was rumor/speculation of another update release by the end of January.
Well it's February so rumours are rumours. Not being a smartass or anything. I hope we get the update soon. Some glitches are inconvenient.

He is talking about the GSM model, you have CDMA.

If you used the WugFresh tool kit to unlock and root your phone, then it installed ClockworkMod Recovery. Having CWM on your phone will prevent it from receiving OTA updates.
IMHO if you've unlocked and rooted your phone, it's time for a custom rom. There are some really good, stable roms out there using 4.0.3. And the developers update far more frequently than you'd recieve OTA updates.
Don't be scared, the developers have made it as easy as they possibly could. Before a month ago, I'd never run anything but a stock phone. I'm still a complete noob, but I've run three different custom roms, flashed kernels, radios, and added mods... Just follow directions, always back-up, and if things get hairy, you've a large community of really smart people who are willing to help.

Considering they haven't even started rolling out 4.0.2 in some regions, I think we have a bit of a wait on our hands.

Its region-specific. Read up on this whole argument over "yakju" vs "yakju**" phones.
Looks like the OTA is available to download again, it's on the Google servers. Might be pushing out soon if someone finally hits the switch.

The zip file is the same file that was sent out before for IMM76K that mostly corporate store devices received. I believe the URL may even be the same. Either way, Android Central posted the URL for the update and it is in the OP as well, since people obviously didn't read the OP before posting...

No. The OTA will apply just fine assuming you haven't changed anything on the system partition. Also, once the OTA completes, you'll lose root, but you probably already know that.
so they got the ota or not today? will it be the same radios and such from the leak earlier this month?

Doesn't seem like anyone has got the OTA notification yet, but yes, it's the exact same file that came out May 1. MD5 and SHA1 hashes are the same.
As far as I can tell, this is the same as the earlier release (MD5 is the same) and therefore the radios are the same as the earlier 4.0.4 release.
The one way audio commonly called microphone cut out has not been fixed with this release. I still have this issue with 4.0.4.
Since this impacts the usefulness of the GN to perform as a phone, I am now going to examine other options such as the HTC rezound.
you should be able to trade your phone for a rezound about .00002 seconds after posting a trade in the marketplace.

Just got a notification on my S3 about a system update being available. Doesn't give much detail other than that. Is this the 4.0.4 update that some uses have received? Anyone else get this message today?

Well there are great apps out there, I use Voodoo OTA. And it creates a backup of your root, then you have the option to do a temp unroot so when you are doing the update OTA (only works for OTA updates), the update won't detect that your device is rooted and after upgrade complete, open up Voodoo OTA, click Restore Root and voilà!
This should work all of the time, but I haven't tested it in a real scenario yet.
Let me know what happens!

Hi!
I was talking about official updates only with the OTA(over-the-air/wirelessly). So if you're in USA/CAN you'll have to wait for the JB update to come over here first then get pushed out to devices, then before update sue the app.
Michael
This is awesome news. Quick question though, since I'm new to the SGSIII. If I "disabled" some apps under the application manager, can I still install the OTA when it comes around? I'm not rooted or anything, I just got the phone a couple days ago and don't feel like voiding my warranty quite yet

You dont need to disable anything. You are on stock - so wait until the OTA is released. It will inform you, and just let it download and install.

I think he was asking if he has some apps disabled, vs rooting to remove them, if it'll be an issue to install OTA. I have all the Rogers apps disabled, since I'm not using the Rogers network. I don't see any issue with the OTA working, since no system files were changed, you're just telling them to not run. Worst case, just re-enable them when you know the OTA is out, do the update and disable the apps again. That's my plan!
Just tried to update with the "check for updates" : option under settings and it didn't work. My phone is rooted, and so when it rebooted (it props for reboot and install) it went into CW and aborted install. Is there a way around this?
