thank u my friend
so i installed a custom rom oriox to my htc one x but now there isn't system update check part. how can i get it back ?:good:
You need to go back to stock Rom & recovery, and may have to relock your bootloader.
Some custom Roms have ota updates, but many don't support it.
Check the Rom threads to check if supported.

Hello,
My HTC Desire got an update today.... However, when I try to apply it, it will progress almost halfway until it shows me the little droid guy with an exclamation mark.
I am on stock Froyo currently, however I am rooted using Unrevoked3. I was told I could still update and it would even retain root in the future. However, it does not seem to be the case.
So what would my options here be?
I do wish to retain root, and I do wish to update my phone. Mainly, because I hope it will fix the WiFi issue (WiFi goes into sleep mode in lock screen, regardless of the settings, thus I can't use Skype properly.)
Any advice and/or help would really be appreciated.
You cannot apply an OTA to a rooted phone, FFS how many more times does it have to be said!?!?!?!
Look for an updated version of your custom ROM (if you're using one) or go back to stock, get the update and re-root
Well; How would i go back to stock?
Or is there a custom rom that is nothing but a rooted stock rom?
Flash the stock Rom with 2.29 update wich can be found in the dev. forum..

since when did we become so intolerant to new members guys?? keep in mind there was a time when none of us knew that you couldnt flash ota's with a custom recovery. someone had to tell us all
Flash the update again it should work. But I'd use an RUU and get back to stock.
Hi,
What are experiences of current owners of Nexus phones ? My Desire Z is rooted ( only rooted, don't have a custom ROM), and I never got Gingerbread update so I'd hate the same thing happening to G Nexus.
Thanks.

That will never happen with the GN. When you own this phone you're first in line for the updates until the next is coming out then you're second but still faster than the others.

When you're rooted you can't get the OTA updates. You have to unroot to apply them. That's true for all Android phones.
You cant get them at all?
Not even: get update and apply it, loose root because of the update, reroot?

you could do that, but chances are someone will get the OTA before you and pre root it for everyones pleasure and you can just flash that via recovery

If my experiences with my OG Droid match up with the Nexus line, if you've only rooted and haven't actually installed another ROM, you should be able to apply the OTA update and lose root because of it. Then just root again.

I've seen some threads claiming that root itself doesn't affect updates, but changing of data on system partition.... Was kind of hoping there is a way to have my cake and eat it too - don't mind having to root the phone all over again after the OTA....
Anyhow - as an alternative, is there a way to get official Nexus updates ( stock ) using other channels except OTA ? What was happening with old Nexus phones ?

The alternate way to get official Nexus updates is to download the update zip file once someone copies it off their device and uploads it, and install it in whatever fashion works.
I rooted my Nexus One without unlocking the bootloader or using custom recovery. I definitely still got OTA updates and they worked fine, but would unroot the phone.
The solution is to use a custom recovery and apply the update .zip manually, then reflash superuser before rebooting. Whenever an OTA update comes out, someone eventually uses logcat to get the URL to the zip and posts it so anyone can download it.
I was rooted on Froyo and got the OTA update to Gingerbread no problem, but I lost root. I eventually got root again (Gingerbreak) and when the 2.3.4 update came out, I did it manually in custom recovery to keep root.
Now I run CM7.1 so I definitely don't get OTA updates from Google

It will often download and you can try but it will either fail, unroot you, or cause troubles.
You're best off applying the pre-rooted update, or unrooting and taking the OTA.

True. However it's trivial to repackage an OTA update to a rooted update and since it's very compatible with the source in AOSP and you get working drivers very early you can start messing around with it straight away.

Of course, as is often the case for most phones supported here on XDA. the rooted OTA comes in the form of a .zip soon after it comes out.

When flashing the rooted OTA via recovery, does it wipe the phone (apps and all)?
Also for the other method, when unrooting >> applying OTA >> rooting again, does it wipe the phone at any point during this process?
Help would be appreciated and rewarded!
I just received my OTA update notification and found the update zip itself in the cache of my phone. I can post that update zip here if a mod can come along and tell me where to put it. I am going to wait till I'm home so I can have my rooting facilities handy before starting.

+1. Exactly.
There is a lot of wrong (or slightly incorrect) information in this thread.
Have root has no impact whatsoever in your ability to receive or apply the OTA update. This has been the case on every Android device. However, if you have a custom recovery flashed, you will not be able to automatically apply the update - you will have to find the zip file in the cache and use your custom recovery to apply it.
On a slightly separate note, once you apply the update either automatically or manually via custom recovery, you will lose root. However, if you do have a custom recovery, as long as you flash ChainsDD's superuser package immediately after applying the update, but before rebooting, you will retain root.
On another separate not, if you flash the update as is from Google, it includes a file (/system/recovery-from-boot.p) that re-flashes the stock recovery on every boot, so you will lose your custom recovery. Either remove the file before flashing the update, or just re-flash your custom recovery.
Hello,
I have gone through lot of forums without anything which works for me, here's hoping..
Background :- I have HTC One X Orange UK (CID- ORANG001) which some might know never got the 4.2.2 rom.
So I installed a Europe generic stock rom image. I removed root as I dont need it for now
and also because I needed to run Good For Enterprise(I dont want to cloak/hide root etc besides they are temp solutions).
which is all good.
Problem:-
But I keep getting a reminders to download a OS security patch for Heartbleed which when I download but then fails to install
with message similar to 'your OS variant is different to ...'.
I have tried install using a stock recovery/re-locking the bootlooder etc but all failed(status 7)
Also I tried to modify the OTA following instructions on certain website(remove asserts etc) but the OTA just aborts while installing from CWM.
Objective :-
Ideally,
my aim is to have ideally a stock Europe Generic ROM(4.2.2) with the latest heartbleed path(defnitely done need root)
or disable the OS update prompt (which it seems cant be done in the phone atm)
My hope is that if someone can fashion something for this specific CID.
Any help on this matter is appreciated.
Cheers.

Hi everyone, first time posting here.
I've recently purchased a HTC 10 from a friend. I'm looking to upgrade it to android version 7
The phone has TWRP recovery but no back up of a stock untouched ROM, ive tried looking for a stock UK H3G ROM (H3G_001) but I've been unable to find 1.
Could someone give me a little help on how to update my phone, possibly an idiot proof step by step guide. i just want the latest version available for my phone.
Thanks
Try this thread from a few weeks ago:

Obviously you'd need a stock backup that matches the version you currently have.
Does your phone currently detect an available ota update?

So, if your system is rooted or modified in any way, you'll need to flash a stock system backup, matching the firmware version you currently have. Then flash stock recovery, and you'd be able to take the OTA.
If your system is already untouched, you would just need to flash the stock recovery, again matching your firmware version, and then take the OTA. There is a recovery for 6.0.1 in that link, but I'm not sure if it's for your firmware version. You could try to flash it and see if the OTA works.
Thinking about it more, if you're able to download the ota I think the best thing to do is to flash the OTA using twrp manually. See instructions in the faq located in the twrp thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ht...ery-twrp-touch-recovery-t3358139/post66347165
If you follow the instructions, you should be able to take the OTA including firmware, and not have to worry about restoring anything stock first.

Hello! Does anyone have a stock recovery.img? I really need one for my device, i’m developing a custom rom but made a mistake when I maintananced my hard drive.
Stock Recovery Needed
Hi.. this devices seems don't get enough love from the devs. It's been almost 2 years now and still no custom rom for this device. Even stock Recovery is not present. Recently I have received an OTA update but since I'm on TWRP, the updates are not Installing, doesn't work with manual install from TWRP. I have the OTA zip saved from my device. I really hope someone who read this can share this device stock Recovery.
The only option I have as for now is try to edit the update script from inside the OTA zip and hopefully I can get it to flash without error.
