Hi everyone. I just had a quick question, since I am on a custom kernel. When ics is released ota for my phone, what happens? Will I have to go back to stock? If so, how?

u have custom cmw and custom kernel i think u gonna have problem update OTA...my advice to u stay a way from the update when it starts check back here devs gonna tell u what to do ..espcially if u like ur phone rooted ...
I want ICS as fast as possible. Could I go back to stock and then update? I don't mind losing customizations, if I get ICS!

Yep. Think about it. We all started with stock on GB and then flashed rooted..however..it's better to wait for root..
Would Clockwork Recovery cause problems with the ota update? I just remembered that I have a stock nandroid backup.
If I have to get rid of Clockwork Recovery, how would I go about that?
When ICS is released, I'd wait until someone roots it before installing it. I'd ignore any 'ufficial' update and do everything through CWM.
In my opinion:
Custom ROM > Stock Rooted ICS > Official ICS.

so my phone is rooted already on beastmod rom remastered, and i just got a notification saying i have a update to be installed from tmobile. im sure it is the 2.3.6 update becuase i dont have that yet, but am i supposed to unroot THEN install the update or can i just update it while its already rooted?
*i have cwm and everything is already backed up, i just need to know what to do with this update*
Thanks in advance for help
You dont want to accept the update running a custom rom. If you have the pro version of titanium backup. Go into it and look for device management and freeze it. Then reboot.
If you like beastmod, why not just flash the beastmod with 2.3.6 base? Info is in THIS thread.
I dont have the pro version, but can i just back up device management and uninstall it?
and how will this effect my phone if i dont update to 2.3.6?
will i still be able to get ICS later on?
Thanks for the quick reply!

I have a different version that has been customized by someone else on this forum.
its more of a ics look.
Wait for the ics update and wait for a ROM to come out with that stock update if you update to ics you will Lose root is my advice

One of the biggest features of 2.3.6 is wifi calling. As long as youre connected to wifi, your calling doesnt come out of your bucket. Its unlimited calling
Sure, you may be able to ICS later on, but ICS for the US SGS2 is a long ways off.
BTW the beastmod 5.0 I linked above is ICS-ish if you like that.

With being rooted and not stock, if you want the features of the 2.3.6 update from T-Mobile you will have to flash a custom ROM that is based in 2.3.6 code. If the version of BeastMod you are running is not based in 2.3.6 code and you need wifi calling, then you need to change ROM's.
isn't this exact question PINNED in dev forum?....
HOLY CRAP IT IS!
found it after clickin back and goin into dev.. took like 5 seconds...

I really don't need wifi calling but I don't want device manager to keep giving me a notification to update everytime I connect to wifi

Unrooting and updating would be 100% pointless. Just pay for titanium backup already because it's going to be one of the most useful apps you'll ever use and then free device management to get the update notifications to stop. If you update you'll lose both root and you'll go back to the stock ROM. Your call I suppose.
Dude is right best rooting tool there is !

My Wife's GS2 is rooted and she has been getting a Tmobile OTA recently (I assume this might be ICS). When she goes to install the update, it goes straight to CWM upon reboot. I did a quick glance at the first few pages in the boards for an answer but did not quite find what I was looking for or I may have overlooked it. Can someone point me in the right direction on how to get this update.
Would I need to unroot her phone? Or is there something I needed to do once it goes into CWM recovery? Any help would be nice.
Thanks.
First, it's not ics it's the prequel for ics. Tmo is only releasing ics via Kies. Second, if she wants stock ics there's a couple ways to do it. First is dl the ota update then Kies ics. Second way is find the ics img and odin it to your phone (you'll have to find it...it's somewhere on the board). Or third, flash an ics modem, then flash a custom ics rom.
Or, your other option is keep the phone the way it is and turn off the update. Instructions are in this sticky: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420065

If you upate over kies you will loose root priviledges, ill say just download any custom ICS with a ICS radio...

If I root using the toolkit and keep it stock, would I have any issues when Tmo sends out the JB update? I probably will just update via KIES since it will be faster. I mainly want root just for Titanium Backup. I miss it since getting my SGS3.

No you wont have any problems recieving jb ota if you still have stock rom. Make sure youre on stock recovery flashing ota update.
Have fun and remember to kill bloatware lol

So, I should just root and not install CWR or another recovery? Like I said in my first thread, I just want to use TB, freeze or uninstall crap apps, etc. I will eventually install a custom ROM, not anxious to do that yet though. I had fun doing it with my G1 and SGS1, just dont feel like messing with that stuff at this point. TB is a must though.
You cannot root without flashing recovery. Just flash CWM Touch from my signature, and when the OTA update comes out, get it from Sammobile and flash it through CWM.

You need to flash custom recovery to inorder to access root. Afterward flash back stock recovery if you want or ready for ota updates.

WRONG.... You do NOT have to flash a custom recovery to get root access.

Since ATT claims that they will be doing an OTA update tomorrow I'm wondering what will happen to my rooted phone. Do I install the update? Will it try and automatically install the update itself? If it does what will happen to my phone. I'm currently on the latest version of Clean ROM. Thanks for all the help in advance!
I am kinda curious about this also. I am just rooted tho , with the exploit method. No custom roms or anything. I unchecked the options and rebooted to get phone state normal and then checked for updates , but didn't find anything.

As long as u dont have custom recovery u will be able to get the update ....u will lose root thought....

I am also rooted and using CleanRom 3.5. I am sure the build date for the current CleanRom will be newer than the AT&T build date supposedly coming today. I guess I won't be updating since they are only adding multiview and I already have it via CleanRom. When the day comes that 4.1.2 is pushed out by AT&T and an update is needed, will I need to unroot my phone to get that update or is there another method?
If you have a custom recovery and things frozen or deleted with titanium backup you must undo all of that and get a stock recovery and then use ota root keeper to temporarily hide the root and you should be ok

Ahhh, Ok. Thanks!
I'm not sure why anyone would want to go back to stock if you have a custom rom already installed. Custom roms will always be a step or 2 ahead of the carrier releases. This current at&t update is only for multi window and whatever updates are released in the future are likely going to be available via custom roms long before the official carrier release anyway.

I was rooted, running CWM, and CleanROM 3.5. I went into recovery and flashed the stock rom and it automatically downloaded and installed the update even though i had a custom recovery. After the update was complete I lost root and had stock recovery. The official ATT 4.1.2 update is way slower than CleanROM 3.5 so Im rooting and flashing back. Also cant customize toggles like the international 4.1.2.

Interesting. I am running root stock with twrp. I removed root, but still have custom recovery (twrp). Flashing the update fails due to ro.secure==1 or something.
Did you do anything at all to prep for the update, maybe ta or hide root?

I got and rooted my phone this Summer (using the method from this thread). Can someone help me understand what I need to do in order to install the Jellybean update from T-Mobile?
From what I've been able to gather, I need to go back to the original recovery mode rather than clockwork. Is that all I need to do? Is that as simple as finding a stock recovery file and flashing it back on with odin? Any pointers on that front would be helpful....
Really, I don't know what I'm doing. Any help would be appreciated. I just wanna try Jellybean and am sick of this "update me!" nag message....
Im sure theres an easier method than what I did. I basically reflashed my phone with the stock tmobile rom. Then I did the ota update to get jelly bean and rooted again. You can always just try to unroot your phone and apply the ota update after as well.

I've never had to do this, but couldn't you just retain custom recovery and just flash the ROM itself without doing the OTA update ?
Someone else or Google can confirm / deny.
