Hey Guys,
are there any plans by XDA faithful developers to import the new AT&T update (7/10/2012) as a cmw flashable zip?
since those of us who rooted and have CMW installed cannot update, it will fail.
we need to either flash new stock recovery to do it. wecan either reflash root66 to get stock recovery back, use voodoo ota root keeper and do the ota update. or if someone make the update into a cwm flashable zip and you can just flash that in cwm.
anyone knows of such plans?
thank you.

I have s-3 used the tool kit for sprint, flashed rom and root busy box and cmw touch, im getting an ota and yes it will not update due to cmw , says failed to verify bla bla, the cmw goes to install an unsucure.zip, and will let me do it, my question is, is that zip the ota or is that a zip on my phone? where would the ota download to? if this is not the ota can i flash new ota with cmw or do i have to unroot and go back to stock recovery to get this ota, would this ota be the one that is here in forums from 5-2012? or has anything been released since 5-2012? Thanks for any help on this.

There is a newer OTA sometime in August, do some searching it fixed Google wallet. Download Voodoo OTA root keeper from the market, play store whatever. Temporally unroot accept the OTA then reroot using Voodoo, works perfectly
I know this is a nook question but could the fact that I am rooted with clockwork mod recovery be preventing my update?
I download the OTA update and reboot recovery and start the update then it says something about could not update do to signature or something like that.

Because you are rooted it wont wont. It requires the stock samsung recovery to apply that update OTA. So either you put the stock samsung recovery and then apply that OTA update, or you download the CWM flashable version of that update thats available in the other forum. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896773
Im assuming you mean the AT&T LH9 update

Actually, root has nothing to do with it. Its all about the stock recovery.
Right but most of these folks who are rooted will have done so by flashing CWM and then injecting the root zip or flashing a rooted rom. But yes it doesnt have anything to do with the root itself, it fails because the recovery isnt the stock recovery.
Best option for him would be to use the CWM flashable one I linked.
How cod I flash back the stock recovery and will I lose root if I do?

If you apply the OTA update via the stock recovery then yes you will lose root. There is a thread that has the stock recovery image file you could flash back. But again, if the LH9 is the update you looking for, then why not just use the CWM flashable ZIP on the thread I linked earlier? You are not giving much specifics if that is the update you are attempting to apply.

I'm not sure which update it is I just know I was prompted to download an OTA update and it failed. I have not had the time I used to with my s1 to keep up to date with all that's going on with rooms and stock updates and what not. By the way what is the most stable roms out there right now? I would like to try a jelly bean Rom if they have any, also don't want to lose any features of stock.

Hey Guys Running CWM on Stock, Rooted ROM.
Looks like the AT&T JB update is probably coming down the pipe soon. What do you plan to do for the OTA? I'm considering flashing stock recovery so the JB OTA will go via the normal OTA process and then try to reroot with Voodoo.
Are others doing the same or are you guys just going to wait for a CWM flashable stock JB update? I'm new to the S3 so not sure what the best strategy for a clean update with root is.

I have the SGH-I747M in Canada and got the OTA on Dec. 2nd automatically. I postponed the install so I could first do a nandroid backup.
When I tried the OTA install, CWM was unable to handle it and gave me Status 7 errors. I have seen a post on how to get around that, but essentially it does not allow you to run the OTA as an OTA. If you would like to see the OTA proceed normally, the simplest way would be to revert to Stock first.
Hi,
I might sound dumb but will I be ablle to get OTA updates if I install custom recovery and root.

No. OTA updates require stock recovery. However, you can revert to stock recovery and unroot as you please. Also, you can flash OTA updates through TWRP once a flashable zip is made, except you have to download it and flash it manually, just like installing a custom ROM. Cheers.

I received the last update through OTA on a rooted Stock ROM with TWRP installed.
After the install was finished TWRP asked if I wanted to restore the root. All went smoothly.
To clarify.. I did not flash the ROM. I used the normal OTA update.

I believe you can on small point updates. The full update from 4.3 to 4.4 most likely won't work with a custom recovery.

you must have stock /system folder + stock recovery
you can be rooted, by if you delete some files in /system - you break your ota
new ota will be with new radio too
after ota super-su apk will be removed by the ota
---------------
i restored /system apps from sdcard before 4.3 ota and migrate very well from 4.2.2
The ota 4.3 update removed my root and Twrp. Hope 4.4 doesn't do the same. It's always a pain for me to restore root with my Windows 7 laptop. It keeps installing the wrong usb drivers which get in the way of the wugfresh toolkit access to the nexus 7. So it's no easy task for me.
