Hi
I have a Galaxy Nexus with rooted ICS 4.0.4. The phone is free, and the SIM is from German O2.
Every half an hour I get the update message to 4.1.1, but so far I haven't updated it because I don't know if after the update the phone will be easily re-rooted.
I have Voodoo OTA RootKeeper, and I have read comments both about it working and not working in the Galaxy Nexus.
In the thread of the App in this forum isn't neither clear whether it is going to work, or not.
Can someone tell me clearly whether the root can be recovered with this app after updating, or not?
Thank you in advance,
Aykito
If you have a custom recovery why not flash a stock but rooted jelly bean rom
Is your bootloader unlocked???
If so, you can easily boot in CWM and then flash Superuser from there. In case OTA Rootkeeper fails. But I think it won't fail.
Cheers!

Hi,
I have rooted my GN using Wug's Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit
I had ICS 4.0.3, and now I have 4.0.2 :S I searched for OTA update, but there is nothing. Whats going on? Am I still able to recieve OTA updates? Why cant I update to 4.0.3? I got the Jakyu version
Technically speaking, yes. If you are worried, just unroot, update then root again. Anyway, OTAs will revoke your root access if it's successful.
But if you are rooted and running a custom ROM, then it's a different story.
I won't worry about it because worse come to worst, you can just download the rooted OTAs online and flash it yourself. There will be so many floating around online when an official one drops.
4.0.2 is the latest OTA update available.
There isn't a 4.0.3 OTA. The latest is 4.0.2.
Hello,
today I heard about an update to android 4.0.4 for the galaxy nexus and more.
I was wondering: I've got the stock rom for the galaxy nexus, but it is rooted. Will I get the official update tot 4.0.4
Thanks in advance

If you are running Stock ROM you should be getting the OTA. Be aware that you also have to have Stock Recovery in order to let the OTA install automatically. Rooting won't alone will not prevent the OTA but you will most probably loose the root and have to re-root.

I just rooted it, nothing more. Thanks for the information, can't wait for the update!
i would like to root my phone but would still like to receive stock ics when it comes out, but i read if you are rooted and have CWM you wont get OTA updates so i was wondering is there a way to root only. i found this (link at bottom) would it just root and not install anything else?

That would just give you root access.
But read this. It's useful information.

well, most of the ROMs are based off stock, and will probably get the upate notification. However, you might have troubles updating through OTA because of this..
You can:
update through kies
flash a deodexed and rooted stock ICS ROM when released for t989
flash stock build through odin.
I would just flash a rooted rom to make like easier.
I keep hearing that Verizon is finally start pushing out 4.0.4 update, my phone isn't rooted nor updated so I'm using stock 4.0.2
if I want to get root after updating to 4.0.4 can I do it after getting update from Verizon or do I need to do something special before?
Yes, you will be able to get root after you receive the update. I'm sure it won't take long for toolkit to updated for this boot image.
And you could always root now, backup SU with OTArootkeeper, update, restore root.
I really need help my phone is an SGH I747M and it's rooted. But I want to unroot it without installing the stock firmware. I already have jelly bean telus,and I don't want to do a recovery with Kies. And I can't do a backup because I only have 2 gb on my Ex sd card and internal sd card. Also what would happen if I just un installed the superuser app? Also could I update the phone with Kies even if the phone is rooted?

Hi Jacob, I was looking for instructions on an AT&T update to Jelly Bean [SGH I747] and wanted to do it without Kies to retain root and came across Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper which seems like it might do what you want. I just started looking here for instructions on how to do the update without using Kies as this was where I landed after my first search. I'd heard it can be done using Odin but I'm not well-versed enough (about .01 degrees above newb and still searching.
All I've done so far is just root this phone, my Atrix which I sold I unlocked the bootloader, but haven't done that yet on this phone and wasn't planning to. Can anyone steer me toward a thread for an upgrade to Jelly Bean (I I dloaded the official AT&T release and thought that I could use Rootkeeper to protect root as I've heard using Kies at all would at least remove the possiblility of getting it back for me but thought it might be possible the way I described. I was hoping I could find out if that was true and if anyone could help steer me toward the right thread for the update. Thanks --ct
do NOT attempt to unlock this phone's bootloader. only the verizon versions need that and attempting to do so on this phone WILL result in a hard brick.
if you would like to do an OTA update, voodoo ota rootkeeper would most likely be your solution.

Thanks cehf. That is good news as all I could find about Kies was discouraging but even thought it is call "ota" rootkeeper that it would work with it. And that if you didn't bother to wait for the results of the work being done to address the problems and just did the OTA update anyway that you'd lose root with no immediate chance of regaining it. So in this case I haven't really done anything except download the pieces. So I just need to use Voodoo first, then bring Kies up to speed, do the update and then unprotect root and delete the backup?:good:

That's an option, yes.
Your other option is to find your carrier's stock ROM here (pre-rooted) and flash it through Odin.
Remember to make a backup first.

I have used the Voodoo OTA on a Motorola Atrix to unroot before applying an update, then using it to re-root. Worked like a charm. Haven't had a chance to try it on my S3 yet.
i checked the SuperSU app, there is an option says FULL UNROOT, im not sure if it will work
other than that, the only unroot method i know is flash stock rom in odin
