Is it true you can't install OTA updates with a CWM recovery? I received an OTA update notification today about 14mb (no, it's not JB, it's a small update 2 weeks after JB OTA update) and my ONE X has the bootloader unlocked and CWM latest version. It didn't install, i received an error, something about "Status 7". I finally found a thread about this and it seemed i had to flash stock recovery back and what do you know, it worked.
Yes, you need the stock recovery for an OTA update to work.

Today I received the new update message, last time it tried to install it itself after 3 times postponed. But for for reason it failed. Is it because the phone is rooted ?
What if AT&T release the Jelly bean update in the future and I want to install it. How do I fix the update error message? Do I need to un-root the phone first ?

+1. I also have stock LEM firmware and I am rooted(everything is stock though). When I try to update to LG1 via OTA, it downloads the update and reboots in CWM and fails to update. When I plugin via Kies to update, it times out.
Is there any way to update to LG1 when you are rooted?

Correct me if I'm wrong but it should work if you have the stock recovery - which in your case you don't but not necessarily in the OP's case. Unless the OP wasn't perfectly clear.
Maybe you need to go back to stock first?

Is there any way I can remove CWM and go back to stock recovery? I rooted my phone using this easy guide http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-r...gh-t999sgh-i747sph-l710-fail-proofnoob-proof/
I am not worry about the minor update from AT&T, we all expect to get Jell Bean soon. Just want to make sure we can download the update and install it properly without any errors. So should we go stock? What will be the steps? Download the stock firmware and use Odin flash it back?
I wouldn't worry about the official update. Usually in a day or two of official release, there will be an official firmware in package in the development section.
Did you mean we can just download the custom jelly bean firmware and install it as custom rom instead of the official one from AT&T? I think that make sense.

When its released, yes. That's one reason there are threads just for stock firmware.
Hey guys,
I received this offiial OTA push for 4.3 update on the 27th July (GMT +8). but when i try to install it on the recovery screen, it says update failed and restarts the phone. But ever since, I couldn't get the OTA push anymore. Not even from System Updates in the settings menu.
Anyone having this problem as well? or anyone know any walkaround for this?
Thanks!
P/S I've flashed my phone with the official rom that gets OTA from google instead of Samsung. And I'm currently on 4.2.2 with fancy kernel R35

If i'm not wrong, if you've a custom recovery OTA update fails, happened to me with my Nexus S back a year or two, i just grabbed the official image from google and flashed it VIA ADB.
PS: i can be wrong you know.

True, I've experienced this before, I would recommend go with Official Factory image if not sure your device is running completely stock before apply OTA...
First of all your using a custom recovery an second your using a custom kernel, so its always going to fail a ota install, my suggestion just flash a ota flashable twrp or cwm zip.

wrong. a custom recovery does not hinder the OTA, its the custom kernel that is causing the update to fail (and any other modifications you do to /system outside of root)
and if even if he tried to flash a OTA with cwm/twrp, it would still fail because of the kernel. the OTA does an assert check on system files before installing.

So in order for me to update to 4.3, I'd have to reflash the stock kernel then update with the OTA?

If that is the only thing you have changed from stock, yes. When it errors out in recovery, it should tell you the problem(s).

alright. Will try to revert to stock kernel and try the official OTA. Will revert back here after i've attempted it. Thanks a bunch you all
I just found a easier way to do things.
Just flash this 4.3 stock ROM over my current 4.2 rom. Works like a charm and hassle free.
Hi,
I might sound dumb but will I be ablle to get OTA updates if I install custom recovery and root.

No. OTA updates require stock recovery. However, you can revert to stock recovery and unroot as you please. Also, you can flash OTA updates through TWRP once a flashable zip is made, except you have to download it and flash it manually, just like installing a custom ROM. Cheers.

I received the last update through OTA on a rooted Stock ROM with TWRP installed.
After the install was finished TWRP asked if I wanted to restore the root. All went smoothly.
To clarify.. I did not flash the ROM. I used the normal OTA update.

I believe you can on small point updates. The full update from 4.3 to 4.4 most likely won't work with a custom recovery.

you must have stock /system folder + stock recovery
you can be rooted, by if you delete some files in /system - you break your ota
new ota will be with new radio too
after ota super-su apk will be removed by the ota
---------------
i restored /system apps from sdcard before 4.3 ota and migrate very well from 4.2.2
The ota 4.3 update removed my root and Twrp. Hope 4.4 doesn't do the same. It's always a pain for me to restore root with my Windows 7 laptop. It keeps installing the wrong usb drivers which get in the way of the wugfresh toolkit access to the nexus 7. So it's no easy task for me.
If we update to marshmallow will she loose root. It's an OTA update
As far as I know if you try to do OTA update with rooted phone it won't work. You may need to flash the update in TWRP and re-root

Your phone will stuck at boot screen. It is possible that recovery won't work and you will only have the choice to flash a kd or tot file to get phone working again.. So before getting update first do unroot....

I don't remember if OTA updates overwrite the recovery or if TWRP will upset the OTA updates.

Twrp actually supports installing official ota updates but while installing ota update it changes the revovery to the stock one.I can confirm this as i myself have done this after asking in various threads
