I had to install teh UCALH9 update, leaving CM10 because of Wifi connection issues. The update fixed the wifi issues, but now I don't have root, and can't figure out how to get it with UCALH9. Anyone know?
very simple if you have cwm or twrp just flash this zip in recovery http://www.blownco.com/smartguy/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
if you do not have one of those recoveries get that then flash the above zip

Hello...anyone have stock kernel for ATT i927? Thanks.
2.3.6 upgrage is only on AT&T i believe..
and only available through OTA...
So if you are an AT & T Customer swtich back to AT&T Stock kernel and ROM and do an upgrade..
I just installed this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=806478&d=1323125030 and tried the update and it still didn't work. Is this the stock ATT kernel?
I think the problem lies in the recovery image. The update may be relying on the original recovery being intact (not ClockworkMod or any other). Thus, it may not be possible to update without having the original recovery in place. I have CWM recovery and the rooted kernel installed and cannot install the over-the-air updates. When I restart the phone after it's downloaded, my phone reboots into CWM and that's it. Rebooting into the OS afterwards gives me the message that the update failed.
While in recovery, I delved a bit into the filesystem using ADB and saw that the update files are there (this thread has a bit of what I'm talking about), but I don't think CWM knows what to do with them, therefore the update fails.
Are people without CWM having this problem? Furthermore, is there any way to return to the stock recovery if this is, in case, the problem?
Could you not use Odin and remove the CWM? Reflash a kernal without the CWM?

I never installed or used CWM. Is CWM something that gets installed with the rooted ROM? The only app I noticed installed with the rooted ROM was superuser and I deleted it. When I run AVG I still get the warning that my device is rooted, but when I type "su" in the emulator it says denied...is there something else I'm missing? Thanks.
CWM Recovery is what's installed if you have ever followed this guide. It's separate from the kernel and the ROM. On most phones, it's installed from ClockworkMod's ROM Manager, but we have to flash it via Odin. It replaces the stock recovery, but offers more features (such as the ability to flash ROMs from the phone itself, instead of having to use Odin on a PC, as well as allowing for full, or nandroid, backups of the phone).
I am ATT and I updated after I rooted with no problems. Some people reported that the update will fail if you're battery isn't mostly charged.
CWM won't be there unless you specifically installed it.
I would be interested in this too. I have been unable to get the update to go through after having flashed another ROM.
After a final successful attempt I was able to flash the jelly bean rom off clockworks install rom section. I understand that after an OTA update the root goes away. However, after attempting to reboot into recovery mode and flashing a superuser zip, I get the little android with the red exclamation (oh God not that! I know if you you re flash optimus prime it normally fixes the issue, but does this reflash a stock rom? What's the best approach around this issue. You can't go into recovery from clockwork because you need SU access. Need help on the best method to fix this issue. Thanks!

When you flashed the ota it replaced your cwm recovery and took your root.
you'll need to reflash cwm via fastboot before you can flash superuser back
I downloaded the latest OTA ATT update and then re-rooted and I cannot get CWM to stick. I unchecked auto reboot in Odin and pulled battery and booted into CWM. Installed superuser and rebooted. Now I can't get into CWM. I keep repeating the above steps but it seems that now anytime I reboot I lose CWM???? Thoughts?? I'm still running stock ROM.
There's something that has to be deleted when you Odin flash recovery. If you don't, it resets to stock when you reboot. Just use ROM manager to flash recovery, or use twrp to get away from stock recovery.

The OTA includes a script that is run every boot and that restores recovery to stock. You can remove that file by installing this zip in your custom recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1366357&d=1349037073. Install your custom recovery using ROM Manager or GooManager, reboot into recovery, install the zip, then reboot.
i am using team win and i did everything in the video but i am rooted but still stock.and when i flash it say failed?
This has been the case since the LG8 update. It has code that will replace the stock recovery if the signature check fails.
You need to follow the Team Epic Root from Recovery method. You flash CWM using Odin but do not reboot. Do a battery pull and boot into CWM. From there you flash the Team Epic Root from Recovery file. This gives you root but also removes the recovery signature check that is replacing the stock recovery.

Hi! I have encountered a problem, and really hope someone can help me!
Two days ago i flashed Omnirom Nightly on my n7105 to get Android 4.4. I was running cmw recovery but couldnt get the ota updates to work, so i was trying to flash open recovery instead. I used an apk that was supposed to install a script.
When i rebootet my phone, all i could get was the Note 2 boot image. It wont boot into recovery mode, or the rom. I am however able to boot into download mode.
Custom Binary download: Yes (4 counts).
Current binary: Custom
System Status: Custom.
How should i proceed? I've already tried to reflash cwm recovery, which did work, but didnt solve the problem. I am currently downloading stock firmware, but the file is 1.2 GB so it will take i while. Figured i should ask here in the meanwhile.
I'm not an expert at Android at all, im just a guy enjoying having custom roms and playing around a little. I do know that there are a lot of very talented people in this forum, and i really hope someone can help me find a solution. I've been googling for hours, but cant find anything that seems to work for me / or i dont fully understand and wont risk try before someone approves it.
Thank you, Vetle
EDIT: Is it correct that i cant flash any custom rom trough Odin? Or could i just flash omnirom again trough Odin?
If i manage to flash the stock rom and the bootloop goes away, will everything go back to normal, so i can flash cmw again and then a custom rom again?
No custom rom can be flashed through odin, as most of them are zip cwm/twrp base.
When u can only go to download mode, an official firmware only can help u through odin.

Thanks for the answer!
Yup, i have flashed a stock rom now and i got the stock recovery. Everything was working fine.
Then i proceeded to do a factory reset in the stock recovery and flashed cwm trough Odin. When it was done, it wouldnt let me into recovery again! I can still boot up the phone tough.
I've also tried Open recovery. CWM via Rom manager. Open Recovery trough Goo Manager... Still cant get recovery to work, the stock rom works tough.
Any ideas?
Okay, i tried to flash the stock rom again and installed Rom Manger.
It still showes TWRP and CWM under installed recovery and i guess these its these two who makes the problem.
My plan now is to figure out how to completely remove them. I've never done anything related to adb before, so i hope it possible to remove them in another way?
This is so weird. Somehow i managed to install CWM Touch via Rom Manager and it booted. When i choose reboot /pull battery it will only boot straight into CWM again. I tried to flash TWRP via Odin, wich sucseeds, but then it reboots into CWM again!
I am soo lost its almost funny!
EDIT: Since i could get into cwm now, i tried to flash omnirom, but it aborts and all i get is status 7...?
EDIT2: Latest now is that i suddenly managed to install TWRP via Odin, but i still cant install the latest omnirom, all it says is "updating partition details".

I had recovery problems in the last few days also.
Installed DN3 rom using philz recovery, because its capable of prepare the phone to a new rom in a easy way.
It all went fine until first reboot.
I had a recovery boot loop. All I could see were some buttons and then reboot again.
Like you I had download access and flashed philz with Odin, but no luck.
Installed twrp via Odin and all was fine, and flashed philz new version.
Then I had to flash a new kernel (to be able to access wifi) and it all started again. Now I'm back on twrp.
Let's see what happens on my next flash.
My suggestion is to flash the recovery, and if that's OK flash the rom and use it
Next time you need recovery get Odin to help, but not all the way from an original rom. Just the custom recovery.
But if you want to get rid of your strange recovery configuration, and you are not already on new 4.3 recovery(which in your case could explain some of the problems you had) , with knox, install an older original rom, 4.1, and make all the steps, root it, install a custom recovery, and from there the room you want.
Reading your path sorting this problem, that was what would do next
Best regards
