Hi friends,
I recently rooted my HOX, i have been using this device since early may-2012. I recently got an OTA update for Android 4.1.1 & a Sense 4+. So i wanted to know if i can accept the update or will it create complication due to the phone being ROOTED!
Rooted is fine, but modified isn't.
You'll need stock recovery.
well i am still on a stock ROM ,have not used a custom ROM on it.

If you have not removed stock apps using titanium or any other means,
And you have cwm or twrp recovery, Flash your corresponding stock recovery and update should work without problem.

Hi
My phone is rooted and I have the OTA update of JB 4.1 installed . Today i got an System Update from Google and when i clicked restart and install , my phone rebooted in recovery mode of ClockworkMod, then i saw that the update has failed .
I restarted my phone and when i saw that version it is 4.1 and when i selected check for update is says my phone is up to date ?
Please let me know how can i get the update from google now ?
Thanks
??
Manually flash the OTA in the release section. You have to be on stock everything (with the exception of root and an unlocked bootloader) for the OTA to succeed i.e. you will need to have a stock recovery which by seeing that you booted into CWR, you don't have. You can simply boot into CWR rather than flash it e.g. fastboot boot NAME_OF_RECOVERY.img

Relating to flashing the stock recovery? Well you have to be on ICS to update to JB...and assuming your bootloader is already unlocked, you shouldn't lose any data when flashing the stock recovery, radio or bootloader.
I am already on JB. I got via rom from here (xda). So i will need to go back to ics. Is that it?

Hey there sorry to take your guys time but heres a question coming from a total noob with the Android.
I had my phone rooted for some time before i recently unrooted and locked it back up. Everything is just as it used to be except when i try to update to 4.1 JB. I click on system update and it will download and reboot. It shows the android character with a loading screen with the 3d hexagonal moving in him. When the loading screen is at about 50% it stops and i see an Android character laying down with his stomach open with a red exclamation sign over him. What should i do?
You sure your recovery is stock? Or do you still have clockwork mod (or any custom recovery) installed and then locked the bootloader? If so, you can simply just flash stock recovery. Also make sure that radio and bootloader is stock too.

Section D, step 12). If you think you need stock bootloader and radio too, you can flash those.
Hi, So about 5 days ago I rooted my Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II using the video Max Lee made from galaxynote2root(dot)com, and about 36 hours later I get a notification for an OTA update. I kept off updating because I didn't really know what to do. I'm really new to this and there's still a lot I have to learn. Anyway, I ran the update and it restarted my phone and went to the TWRP screen. I restarted the system and it stopped notifying me about the update. And I checked and it says that my system is up to date. And I also checked to see if I still have root with a root checker app I downloaded, and it said I still had root also. So, was the app wrong and I don't have root anymore? And after I updated should I have restored the backup I made when I originally rooted? Also, thanks for any help, I've looked around and couldn't find anyone else with this question.
Your phone automatically downloaded the update and was waiting to be powercycled to install. However it failed to install because it requires stock recovery to install and you dont have it. So your phone boots back up and all is good with no changess.

I also have the same issues. I did a back up of my original roms and re installed using twrp . I down load the new update and when its going to restart it goes into to twrp menu. From there i am stuck on what to do.
It failed because you're not on stock recovery. If flashing the stock ota, you need stock recovery.
If you have twrp recovery, read and review this thread:

Before I rooted my note I made a back up using twrp. Is that not a stock recovery file ?.
Yes and no. That's basically just a backup of the stock rom that's only flashable via twrp since that is the recovery used to create the nand. So yes it is a recovery but only flashable thru twrp.

Ok well I did recovered using twrp and it installed and took me back that state before the root. I was thinking that took me back to original state and then update . I did download the update but as it was restarting the twrp home sceen would pop up and not update. So now I have no root or new update. Its funny it was easier to root then to unroot.
The link I posted above would have allowed you to flash new firmware and ma7 through twrp. No unroot reroot required. ..
And like stated, you can't update the stock ota update without stock recovery.

There are 6 links on that thread, one for odex and deodex (which I have no idea what it does), and then the 2 links for ma7 one all in one, and one just regular. And then there are another set of 2 links for the kernals, one regular and one modified. I guess what I'm asking is, how do I install these and which ones should I install? I have no idea what any of them do anyway.
How
how do we go about it and what files exactly do we need? why is everyone so vague?

Links go to mystical places with instructions and posts and helpful comments and answers. All you have to do is click and read and absorb the knowledge.

I have flashed over 30 SPH-L900 (Note 2) fron Sprint to Boost.
I do everything on CDMA (paid version) 3.9.
Since the L.900VPAMAZ update I can no longer change the esn to Boost because the 16 digit CDMA passcode is no longer the default passcode for the Note 2. The old pascode: 01F2030F5F678FF9 still works for the Galaxy S2 and S3 but is no longer recognized on CDMA Workshop or QXDM.
If anyone knows the new passcode please let me know.
If I find it I will post it so that noone else has this problem.
Thanks!
Hello i tried to install OTA the new update to my galaxy nexus but it failed. I tried also to install it using custom recovery but again it failed to install it. Does anyone know how i can install it without to lose my data?
In your custom recovery it should tell you why it failed. My guess is that something about your setup isn't stock, you will need to get it back to stock.

i have found the solution. You have to open superSU go to settings and select full unroot. Then it allows you to update over the air!!!

Hi, I have the same issue: JWR66Y from JWR66V failed. I just get "error" after reboot.
-i don't have root, using the stock image
-i've gone from yakjuxw to takju thanks to Efrant's guide :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
So, I have 2 questions:
1.Is it possible to do the OTA in this case ?
2.Is it possible to get rid of the OTA ?
Any of the above will do just fine.
Thanks !
My issue is a little different. I got the OTA to update on my N4 via not having any modifications on my phone and having the the latest SuperSU v1.55. I remained rooted and ran the update via Flashify in TWRP 2.6 It was successful however I lost root and TWRP. My problem is now I cannot flash a custom recovery (via fastboot), for some reason they just don't stick and I am searching for help now.

Are you running the latest recovery? 4.4 ROMs require the latest TWRP or CWM.
