is it possible to get OTA update on my note2 when im rooted and with clockwork recovery? Or do i need to flash stock recovery first then unroot ? Is it even worth it to do all this to update from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2?
Yeah it's totally worth it.
Wipe data.
Flash stock rom.
Root.
Triangle away.
Wipe data and cache and dalvik.
Flash stock rom.
Update.
Root again

But if you are rooted and flash a 4.1.2 rom you've already upgraded, without having to unroot/root.
Then you gotta download the big fat 1 gb rom altogether.
Theoretically you will save time unless your download speed is > 1 mbps.

Well, I'm on XquiziT's ROM, and I've been dying to get the actual JB release.
If I do the OTA update, will it erase root and reset my flash counter?
Will it harm my phone if I do an OTA while rooted?

Odin + root66 or official tar images will NOT trip your counter.
So im on stock rooted and lets say i get the update but im rooted do i need to unroot to proceed ??.. or i can do it whit root? Cant wait for some jellybean goodies

Root should be fine. Its the custom recovery that'll prevent you from even being able to get the update.
You will lose root though unless you use voodoo rootkeeper or mobile odin pro.

Its pretty straight forward actually. There should be steps laid out in post 2 of the fw thread and I believe Theexel hasit in his thread stickied in this section.
If you have any problems let me know, but don't see a reason to retype it all again!

Along the same lines...I just got an s3 yesterday and rooted stock 4.0.4. Used OTA root keeper, downloaded the ota for JB and when I attempt to upstate it fails....I have stock recovery. No idea why it keeps failing. I would Odin the prerooted JB but my wife doesn't want to lose her settings she already set up. Any ideas?

You probably have a custom recovery causing it to fail.
Regardless of how you update you will possibly lose some settings. Its recommended, but not required to do a clean update anyway. But flashing with odin should preserve your settings as well as the ota would. Once they boot up it shouldn't matter as the resulting build is the same.

Depends if you've done anything to your current build.
Cwm will flash it, but I just don't care for it. Caused probs for quite a few people.
But you have to be full stock. No mods, no deodexing, no bloat removal, no modems flashed, etc.
Then you should be able to flash it in cwm.
Its preferred you do it through stock recovery. You can use voodoo rootkeeper to preserve root.

Anyone knows what update was and why didn't installed ? I have stock 4.2 rom with been 6.0.... No root.

If you are trying to install an OTA stock update with CWM it wont work. You will need the stock recovery in place for the OTA stock update to work properly. At least, that is what was needed in my case. If you want to keep CWM then you can flash a developer's stock zip for your respective nexus.
OK. Thnx but what was that little update ?

Since you're on 4.2, it was probably 4.2.1.
And a changelog ? Or what is changed ?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
It's a fix for the "December issue" (apparently December isn't accessible in the People app in 4.2). Some people have claimed some performance increases, but that might be placebo. I went from 4.1.2 to 4.2.1, so I can't comment on 4.2 vs 4.2.1.
I tried to install the update with stock recovery .. I was in custom rom which is rooted .. the install failled and make the device won't boot the system! Any idea?

Use fastboot to erase the system partition and re-flash a valid system image.

As long as you have stock recovery you are good. However after the update you may loose root, and your device status may say modified unless you factory reset.

Remove root.

Reapply root.
I'd recommend a custom rom. You get so much more. And it's been multi Window 4.1.2 since October.

I'm kinda lost what ROM your phone is at right now... Sounds like you are on 4.3 with CWM recovery, if I read right. But like I said I got lost
If on 4.3, flash the stock recovery

Or
You could just flash this via ODIN and remove root

If you truly on stock 4.3 with only custom recovery then flash the stock recovery.
The second one is full stock with only root. Root can be uninstalled. But until the update comes out don't think we're going to really know what state phone needs to be in.
