Hello everyone i wa wondering how can i remove cwm recovery from my phone? i want my phone to be clean! and i wanna have an ota update to JB first so after i can root!
Via ODIN but why? By the time you get the OTA there will be a custom ROM to flash... unless you are one of the lucky few to get it on the day of release.
Make sure to restore your stock recovery as well.

I do have one question though if I root my phone will I still get ota updates?
No you will not receive ota updates rooted. Unrooting is pretty easy though and someone usually turns the update into a flashable zip.

Flash with stock firmware for your phone model, or kernel only, if you have stock rom with cwm

is the flashable zip the exact! same thing as the ota update? does it come with touchwiz and all same features as ota update?

? Just being rooted will not stop the update. In fact most paths will let you take the update and brick your phone if you actually did things like removing system apps. Luckily thats usually a soft brick.
Are you on EL29, some other Gingerbread, one of the 4.0.3/4.0.4 leaks or FF18? There hasnt been a "New OTA" in a month. If your not on FF18 and you want FF18 just odin it.
Fh13 update possibly or just sending out ff18 again.? Hmmmm

it's FF18 update and im on el29. I read more about it and mentioned that adobe flash will not work on ICS build and seen battery drainage from users who updated their phones. I guess I'll wait till the patches roll out if needed. Also can't flash with clockwork recovery installed. It has to be stock recovery.

LOL Flash works fine on ICS, are you sure you were not reading about Jelly Bean? Which still works in just no new installs allowed.
Besides as of today Adobe is supposed to have pulled Flash for ALL phones on all android versions that dont already have it installed

You can flash FF18 OTA, in clockworkmod, or flash the tar in odin that we had 3 weeks prior to the OTA. I flashed a tar/one click earlier for testing and someone else flashed a zip for it in clockwork mod using a safe recovery.
Taking the OTA means you loose root anyways, not sure why people think they want the OTA. With no root exploit youd have to flash an prerooted one in odin.
I tried to flash it with the original update and looked like it was going to update but after the animation showing as a box with a arrow unpacking the update it threw me into the Android with the exclamation screen. Had to battery pull and safe to say that my phone is safe and not bricked.

Well once again its going to rape you of root and the only way to get root is the same way to get rooted FF18 from where you are. Mind you the update to FF18 is not without its issues. Swype for example you have to delete its data for it to work again. Best bet is to backup your stuff and wipe it.

So I'm Custom Firmware FrostyJB and want to go back to stock as this has a few bugs. and i want to recieve OTA from Samsung.
I made a nandroid but my phone does not seem to register it.
any idea what i should do?
You have to restore a nandroid backup with the same recovery you made it with.
Otherwise download the stock fw and flash with odin. Flash the VLALH2 and youll have the up to date fw already. No need to wait for ota to dl and install.

Are you currently on build UVALEM? If so would you be willing to make a copy of the update.zip for me? It should be located either in /cache/fota or /data/fota
Honestly the easiest (and in my opinion the best) way to get to the latest official build UVALH2 and keep root is to flash MrRobinsons root66 version with odin or mobile odin.
Though if you just want to use the ota then you first must be full stock, no mods no removed bloat, etc. Then get voodoo ota rootkeeper and preserve root, reboot to stock recovery and flash the ota. Then reboot and restore root.
Alternatively, you can flash with mobile odin pro and itll inject root during the process. (Dont do this if you have modded build.prop for wallet). You dont need to meet the stock requirements this way.

I have been trying to install the latest ota update from T-Mobile on my sg 3 but after it downloads and I try to install it the phone restarts in CWM and I get a message saying can't verify signature. I toggle the signature verification in CWM but I get the same message, any idea what I may doing wrong or what I may need to do differently to have the update install?

If you are not using the stock recovery (not cwm), the ota update won't go through. You have to unroot and install stock recovery to get the ota to install

Just Odin the new root66 image. Its way faster than doing the OTA update. Make sure you do a factory reset afterwards too, so youll avoid any conflicts or unnecessary drains.
I have a question, did the JB update come with a radio update as well?

Yes. Easiest way to find out is just to check the modem thread.
I posted the modem yesterday morning.

Hi all I'm trying to find out how to update my note 2 to 4.3 I am 4.12 stock rooted, I didn't want to uproot should I wait for a device to make a rooted update zip or do I definitely have to uproot them update and root agian. Sorry but I'm a little confused about the process. Thx in advance

As long as you have stock recovery and you didn't flash any custom ROMs you could just update from the zip provided in the forum. You have to be bone stock . put zip on external SD card and flash it you will lose root but there's a way to get it back if you read the threads. Good luck i already updated and have no plans on going back.
