If you did anything more than unlocking the bootloader and rooting you can't update with ota anymore.
OK. I thought that might b the problem. Do u know where I can get a link to the latest update?
Thanx

Yes, there is a 4.0.4 update. If you want it, then un-root, grab the OTA, and re-root.
Sorry if this has been asked b4. First day in this thread. Should I completely unroot or can I use the app that temporarily unroots
*found the thread with the download. I can just flash threw cwm

I have never tried the temp un-root, so I do not know anything about it.
If I had to guess, I would say that it does not matter which way you do it.
Someone with more Android knowledge than me will come along and let you know which would be better.
Yeah, you basically have 2 choices, unroot and go back to stock recovery, then wait for the OTA, or flash the 4.0.4 (or even 4.1) update yourself
Thanx. I just flashed the 4.0.4. But had to reroot. Everything seems to working great. Imma give it a lil b4 I jump on a 4.1 rom

That is not completely true. You can basically go ahead and flash as well (e.g. Jelly Bean) without breaking OTA.
As long as the files you are flashing are all stock (Android Build, Kernel, Radio & RIL, Bootloader), not de-odexed, and you do not permanently install an alternative Recovery (like CWM) and moreover take care that your busybox version is not known for interfering with OTA in some cases (like the Stericson one), you will be able to do a lot more than just unlocking and rooting and the OTA is supposed to still work if everything is done right. :thumbup:

Unlocked and have recovery...just flash the 4.0.4 radios and a 4.0.4/4.1 ROM. You are done with OTA. Manually flash updates or restore to stock.

Since you have CWM installed, you won't be able to auto-install off an OTA anyways. You have to flash it manually.

Read all stickies in development and return to bone stock and wait for your precious ota or just stay where you are at and wait for another rom to flash.
good day.
So, I have not been a rom flasher but have rooted phones in the past and would like to get into flashing etc. Bought a international nexus used. Fired it up and noticed it said there was an update to 4.1. Went to installed and it won't install but is asking permission with clock world. So I figure it is rooted and probably has a flashed rom. I gave permission by scrolling down and it didn't work. It says it has 4.1 but if I factory reset it is not there and says I have an update. I noticed superuser is on the phone too. How do I get back to a stock ICS so I can get this 4.1 update? Should I just flash to 4.1? Any help would be appreciated.
Read the flash ROM thread in the gnex development section. It will answer all your questions. Its pretty easy just read the directions twice. Then read again. Then attempt and read while you do it.

So if the previous owner had flashed a rom, does that mean it won't take the ota update?

You can flash back to stock actually. Or install 4.1 from scratch. The Roms are available on this site from Google untouched

You don't want an ota if you are rooted cause it will break root.

I'm currently on rooted stock 4.1.1. The word is Sprint has begun pushing out 4.2 OTA. Since I'm rooted, will I receive notification of the update? If so, can I unroot, install the update, then re-root? If not, what are my options? I'd like to avoid having to reinstall apps, configure settings, etc.
I'm fairly certain I went through this same process upgrading from ICS to JB, but I can't recall now.. thanks.
If you are on stock rom w/ root then you should receive notification for the update but i really doubt that you will be able to install it. If you have custom recovery you can always flash the zip file that got leaked from Google's Server.

Yup I've got CWM. Do you have a link to the image by any chance?

So I just started getting the notification for the verizon One update. It's obviously not 4.3, but I wouldn't mind installing it to see if anything has changed. The problem is that I'm rooted and have CWM installed. Every time it goes into recovery to flash the update, it fails to install and then just reboots. I'm used to dealing with nexus devices, so is there any way for me to flash back to the stock rom and get the OG recovery back?

If you don't mind losing possibility of soff, losing your root, and possibly your unlock then sure. There is no point though.

I hear Sprint HTC One getting 4.3 OTA today.
My neighbor got his at 8am this morning.

My 2nd phone, the Note 2. Was rooted on 4.1 and I un-rooted it to flash the 4.3 update. I get notifications for the update, But when I download and reboot to install. It shows it's flashing and then it just error and restarts.
Any ideas?
I preface this with I know very little about the subject but I'll take a stab at it. You say you are unrooted, but are you stock? You may still have a custom recovery on your phone which I believe will prevent you from flashing 4.3 OTA. Im really not sure
