Hello everyone
I rooted my Xperia Play with SuperOneClick to remove some bloat apps that came with it, and then un-rooted to receive official update to 4.0.2, but whenever it boots back up it says that the update wasn't succesful.
I couldn't find a guide which was noob-friendly to update it thru console so is there any way to fix it so I can get my stock update?
And maybe someone knows a noob-friendly guide to update it thru console/fastboot, can you point it to me?
Thanks!
But there is no official update to 4.0.2... unless you mean the beta
Yeah the beta, I'm just too lazy to type the whole name, thought 4.0.2 would suffice
Well if you just want to go back to stock, find a FTF file and flash it with Flashtool
Not really my point but I figured out what I should do. Thanks for the help.

Thats the RUU, apply this update and you'll be completely stock 2.2
what do you mean apply I've downloaded this before I can't find the file to download and when I try to open it it says it doesn't have a program to open.
If you are rooted Most Roms will not allow an OTA to come through.
you have options the option listed above will unroot you and install 2.2.
the other option is to go to the dev forum and download a 2.2 custom rom or the rooted 2.2 stock rom. flash those and you are good to go.
I will remind that currently there is no way to root 2.2 so if you choose to go through the RUU and go to stock rom that way you will NOT be able to root at this time. It could also be WEEKS before a root method is found. I dont know why anyone would want to or would suggest doing this unless you plan to take it in to sprint for repair.
How do I apply the first file?

No you do not need to unroot. If you accept that ota update it will take away your root because the rom it puts in isn't rooted. I happened to download and try out froyo 2.2 like 3 days ago to see how it functions. It works very well however the update killed my hotspot completely. I ended up restoring back from Froyo 2.2. I will give a link that will take you to the downloads to do it where the rom comes rooted, and the radio and wimax drivers are there as well. Here it is.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740520 One thing to remember is this is not the absolute final build that is pushed out on the OTA update that they have done today. So my guess is very very soon if not already there will be a posted and rooted version of the final build. I am unsure and I am almost positive nothing is every final, but I don't know if you will be able to re-root your evo if you just accept the update from Sprint. If you no longer want a rooted phone and all you care about is getting the update, then you can or will have gotten the request today from sprint as I did or you can look for the update manually in system updates, from settings at the home page. Hope that helps and take care.

I strongly suggest you do not just get stock 2.2 because you have no idea if you will ever root again. Unless your taking it into sprint it makes no sense. I really do not want to attempt to get you that file because its a massive mistake. The download does work though i already tried it that much i can say. See if someone else will actually tell you what you need to do because i'm not sure i can bring myself to do it sorry. I am slightly unsure how you ended up rooting your phone if you are having trouble with a download that has an executable file as in you click on it and it runs If you however need help downloading or flashing or whatever the other stuff that i linked that i will definately try to assist you with. If you flash a stock rom you can and will get the message to update the system and you can manually look for it too. The roms have that disabled so people can't due to ignorance, apply the update then say, "Oh crap I am not rooted how do I fix it?", which we will see a lot of today.
I am unlocked and rooted on my Galaxy Nexus but otherwise stock, no ROM. When the Jelly Bean update came through I thought that even though I was rooted, I'd still be able to take it, but when I tried to, I got errors. So thinking about this, here are my questions.
1) Obviously, I'm not stock because the update is signed. If I wanted to take the update (I'd like to be as close to stock as possible still being rooted) am I correct in that I'd have to relock bootloader and unroot?
2) I tried to look through the development threads to see if there was a stock rooted rom that I could flash through Clockwork, but I didn't see anything that was THAT close to stock. I'm wondering what suggestions people would have for me to get what I'm looking for.
3) If I'm completely off base and I should be able to take that update, I'd like to know if anyone knows why I'm getting errors. I tried flashing the update as a zip through clockwork, but I got the same error (sorry, didn't write down).
I messed around with my OG Droid quite a bit, rooted my Droid Inc and Droid Charge, and after messing around with the crap UI's that OEM's wanted to wrap around android, I just really want that stock experience. All suggestions are welcome, thanks in advance (sorry for the noobishness).
I think its recovery that has to be stock to receive OTA updates. As your trying to flash with CMW you have a custom recovery.
I believe you are manually able to flash the update.

Not correct. Lock state of your bootloader, and even root, have no impact on you being able to apply an OTA update.

Did you read the sticky in the General section that talks about returning to stock?

So I found out that I have Jelly Bean sitting in my queue for a OTA update. Went to install it but I cannot because I am rooted. I have scoured the internet to find out the best method of getting this update on my phone but have been successful in truly finding a solution. I am new to the android platform and just got my SGS3 a few weeks ago.
Not sure if I should unroot my phone first (looks like I just flash ICS back on to my phone to remove root?) or if there is a version of the official OTA release floating around that I could use to flash over without need of unrooting.
I have spent 2 days searching the internet, reading these forums, and watching youtue videos but I still do not have a clear understanding for what I am asking which is why I have posted.
I understand new software sometimes has a waiting period before you are able to update it with hacked system.. is that what we are in right now? Waiting for the proper resources to be updated to allow this update?
Thanks!
you can go into your superuser app and unroot but im pretty sure it is not a jb ota
More than likely, it's just the LH9 firmware update. Still ICS,and not JB. IF you want the update, there is a thread that has it as flashable zips.

oh ok, i see the leak but I was hoping to use an official release so it was "100%" functional. I guess I will wait. Thanks for the helpful response!
I have a t999L rooted phone, Android 4.3 T999LUVUBNC1. Tmobile is telling me I need to do a software update. It is apparently T999LUVUBNF4, but I do not see any "root" option with this build. Where can I get a copy? If I flash it, will I still be rooted, or will I have to re-root. Its been a while since I've been on these forums and I need some guidance. Thanks.
You'll have to re-root. Not sure if it'll even flash the OTA
I've had this Epic 4G for a couple of years now and just used it to root it and did not do much else after. I want to update it so it can run more recent apps. I just know I have the "AGAT Recovery tREC v2.0.2" and the phone has always had the stock ROM. How do I update it to KitKat at least? Also, the phone does not want to install new apps from the Play Store nor outside of it anymore. That came up after I decided to want to update it, so if someone can tell me about that too I'll appreciate it.

Follow the steps this member posted in another thread for S2 E4GT. Follow the steps up to the point where they flashed a 4.4.4, don't skip any steps.
