[Q] OTA of a Rooted OneX. android 4.1.1 & sense 4+.

Hi friends,
I recently rooted my HOX, i have been using this device since early may-2012. I recently got an OTA update for Android 4.1.1 & a Sense 4+. So i wanted to know if i can accept the update or will it create complication due to the phone being ROOTED!

Rooted is fine, but modified isn't.
You'll need stock recovery.

well i am still on a stock ROM ,have not used a custom ROM on it.

If you have not removed stock apps using titanium or any other means,
And you have cwm or twrp recovery, Flash your corresponding stock recovery and update should work without problem.

Do you have stock recovery or CWM?

[Q] E975 running e973 stock kdz

I rooted my international version E975 last night but because I'm a bit noob I didn't realise I also had to unlock the bootloader. So when I installed CWR I got stuck in the secure boot loop. I managed to get out of that with the KDZ loader through 'download mode' however I wasn't able to find the correct stock rom. Each time I tried to download the australia E975 rom it would fail download half way though, getting only 500mb or so.
I tried heaps of other links to the rom but they all seem to be broken. In the mean time I found another rom and loaded it without realising it was for the E973. So it's out of the boot loop, but it thinks it's an E973 now and I don't have any 3g/data access and the rear camera doesn't work.
So my question is: where can I find the stock rom for the australian version of E975? and ultimately I want to root, unlock bootloader and install the custom 4.3 rom. Do I first need to be back to 4.1.2 to do that? or can I do it from the wrong E973 rom, running 4.0.4?

Why not try the rooting procedure again on the existing Rom, unlock boot loader, install CWM and flash any custom Rom you want ?

That would definitely solve the problem of not being able to find the stock rom, but I was concerned that most of the guides I've read state that the starting state should be 4.1.2.
I'm worried that starting with the E973 rom might cause some incompatibility during the root/unlock/freegee/rom install...

I'm not an expert, but I believe you can flash any Rom as long as you do a clean wipe, and the hardware supports it.
Edit:
Well, maybe you better wait till a real expert confirms this.

Did I kill it? Com.Android.Phone has stopped

I rooted and used freegee to put cwm on. I tried to flash a rom but on boot it says com. android phone has stopped. I click Ok but it reappears instantly. Occasionally it also says nfc has stopped. I need all the help you guys can offer. Thanks!!!

Turn off your phone. Boot into cwm and do a restore of your backup. This seems to be a problem with the ROM, can you link to it?

It says no files for the back up. Basically I'm screwed? It was the Canadian cm10.2

use kdz updater to return to stock. or make a total wipe,push rom and gapps via adb and reinstall the custom rom again.

I've tried to return to stock using kdz but I click flash and 2 lines of code appear saying it started. How long should it take to flash? Right now I'm just trying to side load a stock variation. I'm just new to adb and flashing on computers.

That is because u have installed wrong baseband on your phone. Recover your previos stock rom and copy modem.img from it, you can find many HOW TO here on this forum. Only after that flash new ROM, copy your original EFS and modem into it.

Wrong rom or wrong kernel probably due to wrong rom. Try the above or flash a kernel appropriate for your Android version.

[Q] Help Needed! How To Flash Stock Recovery for LG Optimus G Pro

I installed cwm recovery soon after I got my LG Optimus G Pro because I wanted Android 4.4.2 Kitkat but after installing multiple ROM's I wasn't very satisfied with the battery life so I returned to the stock ROM.
I got the notification for the OTA from At&t for Android 4.4.2 but because I have cwm recovery I can't install the OTA.
I have been searching the internet and countless forums and every solution I have found hasn't been clear enough on how to return to the stock recovery.
If anyone can help me on this it would be greatly appreciated!:good:

Which version of LG G Pro do you have?
Irrespective of the version you can try unrooting using the menu entry in SUPERSU app. Then run the OTA.
I have a LG E988 which is the international version. I had ROOT but I updated using the LGMobile Support Tool on my PC. Update to KitKat went through fine and as expected I lost ROOT.

I have the LG E980. I could never find a legit download for LGMobile Support for PC, if you have a link that would be awesome

I generally trust stuff on XDA. Here is a link to the XDA page that details the process for LG E980 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302660. All the best.

Dont ever do this. This will softbrick your device and will cause it to go bootloop into recovery. Your best option is to flash kdz/tot. Just backup everything.

So many opinions - no authatative answers
I need to unroot and get the OTA 4.2 for mt AT&T Optimus G Pro (E980) too.
So far in this thread it has been suggested to:
1. Unroot with SuperSu and get the OTA
2. Flash the stock 4.2 with LG Tools
3. Flash the stock (pre-4.1.2 I assume) using a ROM manager I assume?
4. Never unroot with SuperSU and get the OTA as it will "softbrick" (whatever that is)
I'm a newbie to this and barely got my AT&T Optimus G Pro (E980) rooted because there were so many conflicting methods, only one worked and that was after re-installing ADB to a lower version.
What is a newbie to believe with all this conflicting advice? Is there a moderation team that will flag the correct answer?
Thanks Guys
