I am rooted FI27 with agat recovery. I also have been running the blu kuban rom. I was getting prompted for FI24 so i installed OTA killer. Done deal!
Recently, i went back to stock rom (via agat recovery). Still rooted, got prompted again for FI24. Can/should i install the update?
I did try once and it failed... I got the Android with the triangle/exclamation.
What should i do?
Thanks in advance!

So i take it that i can't install the FI24 ota when I'm rooted on FI27. Failed again. Arrg
With a possible new ota around the corner maybe you should leave it alone for now, unless your experiencing some problem.
If your rooted the ota will fail. You need to unroot.
The easiest thing th o do would be a one click from Rwilco's repo, if not mistaken there is a one click fl24 that will give you the same as the ota.:thumbup:

Hey guys,
So I am on EG30 modem (stock), and I only installed crawlcj's odexed stock rooted ROM.
I got the OTA update notification today morning and I just pressed update and walked away for like 30 minutes, and when I came back there was a yellow triangle with the android figure on the screen and it seemed to be stuck.
So I just held down the power button to turn the phone back on and it seems that the phone is still working fine under EG30 but EK02 was nowhere to be found.
I'd like to get the EK02, do you know why it failed and what I need to do to get the OTA to install correctly?
Thanks in advance
it failed because you are rooted and dont have stock recovery anymore. so if you want to upgrade to EK02 you should just flash the update that is posted already for rooted phones its fast and easy to do.this is the link to get you right to the new modem. after you flash the modem upgrade just chose a rom that has also be upgraded too. now you have the new update its just that easy

I'm going to jump onto this thread to because I'm having the same issue (and have searched this high and low for a solution). I have Crawrj's Stock EG30 Deodexed with Root 3.0/Busybox 1.18.4 on my phone. All I would like to do is to upgrade to EK02 and 2.3.6 (which I'm not sure if it's one and the same), remain stock but retain root. I don't have an SD card in my phone and I don't have clockworkmod (@ewalk4366 the video in your link assumes the upgrader has CWM). Since the OTA failed, I'm at a loss of how to proceed next. It seems I'm missing one thing or another when it comes to trying to upgrade. Any help would be appreciated.
P.S. Sorry for some noob butter but I still don't have all the terminology down correctly, so there may be times where I say modem but I mean rom and visa versa. For the sake of this thread, I think I'm saying what I mean.
just install the new EL13 modem using odin... i hope you are rooted

Thanks for your response but don't I still have the stock recovery? Crawlrj's odexed busybox rooted 3.0 rom didn't have any other recovery mods..
And I'd like to have the completely stock version of the EG30 ROM and the Modem.. So I should flash both? Wouldn't that erase my memory?

My epic 4g touch is rooted and I show Blazer_RomEL29 and Calkulin's Format in my files(I didnt root it myself) and this morning I had and OTA for Andriod 4.0.4 should I run the update? If I do what will happen? Is there a way to get the update again because I didnt run it and when I go to System updates is says my phone is up to date but it is running 2.3.6....Please help
You can download the update from here and do a fresh install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721229
You will have to reinstall your apps and stuff but it will run better than an update anyway.
You can just use sfhubs 1 click (FF18), it's the exact same thing. QBKing77 on youtube also has a video showing you how to manually update it.

:good: I am still nervous about doing anything to my phone but would like to have the 4.0 update, will your suggestion clean the root (not sure of what verbage to use) or will it just update the phone?
tia
If you are on blazer, the OTA update will fail the verification stage.
Your easiest way to get FF18 is to use the FF18 ODIN OneClick here:

Backup your apps and use the Full version because your current rom is deodexed and stock is odexed.

Baseband only refers to the modem. If you search the development threads, you will find zips to update the modem in clockwork.
As for stock updates, they require the stock recovery to work so if you have clockwork or twrp recovery installed, you will have to go back to stock to receive the ota updates.
Finally on the Jellybean update, you won't miss it. When released, I'm sure the awesome Devs here will pick it up and it would only be a matter of time before a custom rom is released. The benefits of running 'custom' far outweigh anything that releases 'stock'.
If I root my S3 will I still be able to get the OTA updates? I rooted my Atrix and after that I couldn't get the OTA updates. Also what is the best ROM?

If you don't need a specific feature from the stock firmware (gestures, wifi calling, etc), just get CM or AOKP and save yourself a headache.
Best? As far as stock? I've read LI6 is decent.
Well with my Atrix when Android 3.0 came out I wasn't able to update it because I was rooted. So my question is when Jelly Bean comes out will I be able to update it to Jelly bean if I am rooted or have a custom rom installed?

3.0 wasn't even for phones. If you install custom recovery you will not be able to receive an OTA until you flash the stock recovery. Just use a jellybean ROM.

How can this be true? This is what I did.
Restored a UVALEM nandroid (via CWM). It was the original firmware on the phone when I bought it (no custom install, but I rooted with the Sprint method a couple weeks prior), I just happened to keep this backup.
Reset factory defaults.
Nandroid again for clean UVALEM backup.
Use Software > About phone > Software update to get the UVALH2 update. It was ~90mb.
Phone rebooted after it was done.
Dropped into CWM to make another backup (CWM still here, was never removed).
Downloaded LI6 JB OTA from SamMobile. Installed that from CWM.
I have LI6, never removed CWM. And it is still there. Root should be, although I did not test to confirm.
If you can't receive OTAs with custom recovery/root, how did this work? Is it a feature that was not active in the UVALH2 build? What about the LI6 build I flashed from CWM?

I don't know, clockworkmod is supposed to block the installation of OTA updates.

Hmm, I'm using 6.0.1.2, and it does ask me if I want to disable /system/etc/install-recovery.sh, when I try to exit.
My son's 989 got a notification of a software update last night. He is stock/rooted GB with CWM Recovery installed. When trying to do the update, it of course failed since the recovery was not stock. Now it says there is no update. Does anyone know what this update was and is there a stock/rooted version that I can Odin to his phone? Thanks for the help.
Found a stock unrooted ICS and installed it. Should be able to root it.
