[Q] Stock ROM, Rooted - Can I Install OTA Update and Keep Root?

Sorry, I know this question has probably been asked many many times, but my research has nothing specific for the Galaxy Nexus.
Bought a retail GN.
Installed 4.0.1.
Unlocked Bootloader (the white padlock right?) - still unlocked.
Rooted (struggled, but got it done in the end).
Installed my rubbish.
Now a couple of months I can officially update to 4.0.2. My question is, will I loose root if I do?
I am not interested in installing a custom ROM.
I don't have a custom recovery like CWM or anything.
My aim is to have as stock as possible, but rooted.
Thanks

I think you will keep root! Not 100% but even if you loose root you can just re-root after. Let us know what happens!

You're right, this has been asked before, though probably not since December.
You will loose root because the permissions on the system files are rewritten after an OTA update. All the files will still be there and your bootloader will still be unlocked.
You'll need to rerun the chmod part if you did a manual root. If you used a one click method you can rerun that, making sure it's updated for 4.0.2.
afaik there's no way to do an OTA without loosing root.

But you just flash root on top with fast boot or CW? Right?

I installed the ota update and I still have root..

If you have CWM an OTA won't work for you, you'd need to flash the new kernel instead so that's not relevant to the OP (some peeps still seem to be getting the OTA notification on CWM but are reporting the OTA fails which is expected).
You could reflash it with fastboot if you want which is the easiest way to do it (that's what I meant by rerunning a one-click method)
If you can be bothered since the superuser.apk and su files are still there you can just reset the permissions by rerunning the last bit of the manual method:
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/bin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/app/Superuser.apk
adb reboot

Actually, if you are unlocked and rooted, but running stock recovery, you can use the app OTA Rootkeeper by Supercurio, you can find it in the market . This app enables you to keep root when flashing an update. Check it out!

Shiny! None of the guns mention it - probably because they're all way past the OTA stage.

Noob question.
When rooted, will OTAs still pop up? And if not, then how do you know when an OTA is available?
Supercurio's app looks like the easiest way to unroot/re-root. I may have to give it a try

The answer is: YES.
I just installed OTA update (4.0.2) and it worked fine, still rooted.
Although I did install the Voodoo root keeper thing, I guess it didn't actually need to as I didn't use the app after I installed the OTA update.
Thanks for the links and advice though

Well I did the OTA update about a week ago, and lost root. Haven't had root keeper installed though. So maybe this actually was the reason it worked for you, despite not starting the app after the update.
Gonna run the adb commands later when I'm home. Hopefully it'll do it.

[Q] Update from Stock Rooted 4.0.2 to 4.0.4?

I am currently on rooted stock 4.0.2 on my GSM Galaxy Nexus. I know I will be able to receive the 4.0.4 OTA, but will it break root or re-lock my bootloader? If so, will be I be able to re-root without losing all of my data?

Yes you will loose root and normally I would say you would not loose your locked bootloader BUT since there apears to be a new bootloader version with this OTA I might be wrong and your bootloader might end up locked again. I myself updated manually and also flashed the bootloader and it did not switch to a locked state but I would not bet on that. Maybe someone else can varify...
Anyway: be sure to make a proper backup and no harm should be done right? It is always possible to re-root and re-unlock. with a proper backup no harm in that

Every update has a bootloader in it. According to Google the Nexus bootloader will remain unlocked.

If you're rooted, i thought you cant go through with the ota.

oh yeah. i think you're right. i don't have custom recovery. could've waited. oh well. impatience does that to you.

You will lose root but it can be restored easily without losing any data. The setuid bit on /system/bin/su was removed by the OTA update. You can simply chmod the file to restore it using cwm recovery and adb.
Full steps can be found here (sorry, I can't post links): blog.talawah.net/2012/04/how-to-restore-root-access-after.html

I used Voodoo Root Keeper to restore my root access. However, full root is not restored initially. I started up Titanium Backup and root was restored fully. It was a file right issue why the root was not restored completely.
No CWM needed. Since I want to keep using OTA, I stay far away from CWM.

HTC M8 sdcard issues

Hi guys, i bought an m8. But have some problems. As 4.4 kitkat removes a lot of sdcard functionality, i want to root the device and get it back.
1.will i get ota updates while on stock rom, rooted, unlocked bootloader and s-off?
2. What is the best way to preserve stock recovery, specific to my device?
3.if i do get ota updates, will the update break my root? Or will the update and root clash?
4. My main goal is to get that sd card funtionality back, so if i get ota updates do i have to revert the changes?

1. As long as you have stock recovery, you should be able to get OTA updates. I'm not sure you'll be able to keep your root though.
2. There are plenty of stock recovery dumps around these threads. Look around and you'll find them. Either that or dump it yourself.
3. That is hard to say. I've seen it happen both ways across different devices. You can try to preserve root via SuperSU, but there's no guarantee this will work. The worst that could happen is the OTA getting rid of root, in which case you could always root again.
4. The next OTA you'll get will most likely be Lollipop. From what I've heard, it actually brings back a lot of SD card write functionality that KitKat killed. So it will most likely overwrite your changes.

Right, thanks. Also is there some way i can copy my recovery for backup?
Sent from my HTC_0P6B using XDA Free mobile app

Google gives me this. I've never done this myself so please proceed with caution. I highly recommend just grabbing an already dumped recovery if you haven't done this before. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2450045

Ok ill see to that, also one final question. If i install a stock rom from another region (which got the lollipop update), will i continue to receive ota updates on my phone using that rom?
Also what is a RUU?
Sent from my HTC_0P6B using XDA Free mobile app

An RUU is a program which essentially wipes your phone and sets it to stock. As for flashing a Lollipop ROM from another region, you'd have to confirm that your phone would work fine with ROM. Worst thing that can happen is a soft brick I suppose. It's worth a try. Be warned you may run into issues.

No, you won't. The ROM has to be stock, and match the software for your CID & MID.
tahsin511 said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
RUU = ROM update utility
Its a complete factory image. Usually comes as a Windows executable (so PC required). You relock your bootloader (if s-on, not needed for s-off), and just run the RUU with phone connected to PC, and the RUU will write the phone back to stock. Its a pretty easy way to return to stock, if RUU is available for your carrier/region version.
Also, RUU needs to be same or equal version hboot, etc. than what is on the phone (no "downgrading" allowed unless you are s-off).

After you unlock the bootloader, but before you flash custom recovery, you can fastboot boot into TWRP (not flash it yet), then use TWRP to create a backup of your recovery partition.

1. You need stock ROM (nothing that you deleted or modified in the /system partition aside from just root) and stock recovery. Root is okay, unlocked bootloader is s-off is okay (to OTA). But you will likely lose root after you OTA (just install custom recovery again, and re-root).
2) Backup stock recovery as I indicated above, or find the right stock recovery here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
You may also be able to find the right stock ROM for your CID and software number, if you need it.
3) Already answered in Item #1 above.
4) I forget what the SD card fix entails. If it modifies anything in /system, you will need to make it stock again to OTA. Or if you flash a stock ROM, it will also probably revert the SD fix. After an OTA, yes I believe you would need to apply the fix again.

[Updating Pixel XL] After unlocked bootloader and rooted

So some might remember me awhile back ago... https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/help/unlocking-verizon-bootloader-t3557290
I got tired of not having a unlocked/rooted device since I just dropped so much money on a new phone for my 27th bday sooo I took it back to verizon and swapped it for a new one. I was having the battery problems where my phone would hit 30-15% and just die on me OR the screen would die on me but the phone stayed on no problems.. I'd be in a phone call and the screen would shut off and I couldnt get it to turn back on without plugging in a charger or battery bank.
I've got my new phone now and everything is working flawlessly.. It's unlocked, has twrp installed and rooted just fine..
Now I remember seeing something about once I unlock/root the device my OTA becomes disabled so where do I get the OTA update for the device so I can go to 7.1.1 or later this month 7.1.2? I found this https://developers.google.com/android/ota and I see the 7.1.1 update but it's 800mbs which means I'm guessing if I flash that i'd be completely reinstalling a new copy of android and lose all of my data and have to go through setting up my phone again etc..
How do I just get the update itself and flash that? When I use the OTA on my Pixel XL the download is only like 200MB it doesn't install though just says it failed. Still new to all of this but I'm learning and how else am I gonna learn if I don't ask questions
a point in the right direction would be great.

From official TWRP webpage it says
Never try official ota updates using TWRP. Its not recommended. should I wait to update to 7.1.1 or flash? any pros/cons?
Thanks for all the help and ansrewing of questions so far
Edit: should I unroot and try to OTA again and if it works just reroot the device?

You are unlocked, so the only danger here is that you bootloop and lose your data. Make sure your data is backed up and sideload the ota with the directions on googles ota page and re install TWRP.
That's the easiest way and pretty darn safe. I dont recall seeing anyone having trouble with that.

Looking at unrooting my device so I can do OTA updates via the phone and then I'll just reroot again but during the unroot process it says
Attempt to restore stock boot image? This is require for OTA's to succeed. If you manually decrypted your device, note that this might prevent my device from booting.
How do I know if I manually decrypted it? I used depixel8 to unlock bootloader and used SuperSU to root so am I safe to proceed or should I not attempt to restore a stock boot image?

If you ever bootloop don't freak, its an unlocked google phone. Flashing back to stock is easy.

The only thing that was in question was the bootloader unlock, once its unlocked your safe. It wont relock unless you lock it. But, if you do lock it, its locked for good. Afaika

I flashed OTA with twrp on my buddy's pixel for the Feb update worked just fine. Just make sure it's the OTA and not the factory image. But the best way would be using fastboot

Most anything you flash (stock updates, custom roms, will overwrite recovery. But not a problem, you just re-boot it to flash it, or just boot it and flash su and reboot device.

If you already did update to Nougat via OTA, flashing that Marshmallow stock image can/will brick your device.
There is a generic RETAIL Nougat Stock image for the April Security Updates flying around somewhere. But generally you should install the stock version you originally had on your device, and then update from there.

I have no idea in what channel a phone will end up with the generic RETAIL images. I just did a dump of every single partition on my phone before I installed custom stuff, so I can always get back to how it was originally, and OTA from there.

No problem... any time you change a phone I always suggest to really look at the Guides and Discussion section and get to know the phone well before jumping in and hacking it.. Plus Moto did not make this one as simple to flash and recover as some of their others.
Good Luck.

Flashing that on my reteu device resulted in a bootloop with the phone playing the "Hello Moto" sound over and over again.
I could flash LineageOS over it and it worked fine, but it did not give me a working stock OS.

Flashing that on my reteu device resulted in a bootloop with the phone playing the "Hello Moto" sound over and over again.

You can try to do next:
1. Wipe everything (incl internal storage with TWRP)
2. Format (not wipe) data with TWRP
3. Go to fastboot and flash stock ROM with RSD lite
P.S. If you still have bootloop - just flash TWRP and SuperSU with it. But if you`ll do everything, what i wrote - You`ll have fully worked device.
Good luck )

Step 3 is what I did originally, including erasing userdata. With that exact stock ROM.
I only wanted to update the bootloader and radio firmware, so I don't overly care it does not boot by itself, as I'm using LaOS.
Just as a note for anyone trying to use that image.
