Hello!
The title pretty much says it all! Is it OK to update my One X through an OTA while I'm rooted on ICS?
Thanks :good:
Don't do an OTA update if you have a custom recovery ! As you can see in my thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2043818) you will be stuck on htc boot screen, and if you try some random method that you found on the web like i did, you might have to restore your phone with RUU . Make sure to have a stock recovery and a stock ROM before doing the update. I don't know if you have to relock the bootloader, someone with more experiences should be able to answer this
Root is no problem. You have to be on
Stock rom
Stock kernel
Stock recovery
Bootloader can also stay unlocked.

So I would just need to flash stock recovery.

Before Flashing a Custom RoM, I did a backup of the stock RoM in recovery. Am going to need to return stock so O2 can release JB OTA update and allow me to update Hboot.
My question is if I was just to flash back the stock RoM in recovery am I right I dont need to relock the bootloader? I just use the Stock RoM with phone unlocked and custom Recovery just to allow me the OTA?
Thanks
You will receive the OTA, but to apply it you need stock recovery.

Hi guys.
Today I finally received an OTA upgrade from ICS to JB Android. I made a backup, then from settings i let system to update my ROM. It's going good so far, but when it's rebooting, it's going to recovery where the process is stopped. I have unlocked bootloader and rooted my HOX, but still i have a stock ROM. I tried to toggle off checking signatures in cwm but with no result. What can I do to keep root and upgrade to JB?
Thanks.
1. Stock ROM
2. Stock kernel
3. Stock recovery
Make sure you haven't removed system apps. Root doesn't matter.

And make sure to put back the stock recovery

You can root again by flashing your custom recovery AFTER updating to JB.

So, at start I have to flash stock recovery. Have I to relock the bootloader? Then I'll update to JB. Of course I want to root, so just flash custom recovery and su? Thanks in advance
Make sure the rom is stock, then flash the STOCK recovery and update the phone, then flash a custom recovery back and root the JB rom again. No need to lock the bootloader !
You must mean stock recovery correct?

You downloaded my stock recovery and renamed it to recovery.img ?
Recovery from a nandroid is never a stock one, a nandroid backup can only be done with a custom one
Uuuups, what a mistake Thanks! I'll try to flash yours one.

Case closed !
Looking for a safe root method without having to use CWM Recovery. I want to be able to keep stock recovery and be rooted just in case we get 4.2.2 anytime soon.

Not possible, but you can flash stock recovery back after you've rooted successfully, you can find the root procedure and the stock recovery in the faq which can be found in my Sig. Also, when/if 4.2.2 dies come out, I can guarantee that a stock rooted build will be available before most get the actual ota anyways and you'll need a custom recovery for that, so just root and if the update comes out, flash the stock rooted build with cwm or twrp...

i dont see why you wouldnt still get ota updates. i could be wrong, but pretty sure youll still get them
for flashing to stock, rooting, and unlocking you can use the nexus root toolkit.
http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/
it will automatically download the stock image file which contains the stock recovery. i think its boot.img (within the stock file). you can also manually download the stock file here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
edit: heres a good thread that you missed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2379797
Are you sure is it possible to get OTA from google without stock recovery? If its true, is a good news!
The stock from [email protected] is have stock rom & recovery, I want to flash only stock recovery without rom and reset.
Thanks.

im not 100% sure because this is my first nexus device. but on my n7000 (international galaxy note) i got updates just fine with a custom recovery.
use the tool kit in my first post to flash stock recovery.
I got an OTA update on my deb/LTE with TWRP and SuperSU on it.
After the update stock recovery was flashed and my deb was unrooted again.
Just flashed TWRP back and the SuperSU zip. Everything is working fine!:good:
@shyd
Your bootloader are unlocked?
I will waiting to the next OTA to check it (with root, unlocked & TWRP recovery).
Thanks all.

Sure, otherwise I couldn't alter the recovery!
The bootloader lock/unlock state hasn't been changed by the OTA update!
Excellent, thanks all.

Also, if you want the OTA but don't want to have to unlock and root again, people usually post a flashable update that you can install via your custom recovery.

I have the same issue. This is because you have the firmware for other regions. I like taiwan version and I can not find the drain firmware.
