Im rooted with unlocked bootloader and i know how to update with the ota and use magisk to install into inactive slot after taking the ota but im getting installation failed in the update section. Do i need to unroot first then take the update. Just seeing if there is any solution for the update failed.
yes u unroot first theres a option in magisk for it
Do i then install the ota, not reboot, go back into magisk and have install to inactive slot?
looks like this thread may of been able to update using this method, but it doesnt look like he was rooted prior. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/11-2-3-3-boot-img.4268935/

I would like to go back Stock and get OTA updates. My problem is I can't use the unrooting tutorial on the G2/Z wiki as it require to flash a stock Rom and the only available stock ROM for my carrier is too old to get the OTA update (1.34.666.1 and OTA is looking for 1.34.666.5)
TheSPam gave me is nandroid backup so now I have the 1.34.666.5 Version but I'm still rooted. I'm trying to get back 100% stock.
When I'm trying to do the OTA update, after rebooting to flash the update clockworkmod recovery interfere and the OTA update Fail.
I've tried renaming the Update to update.zip, put this on the root of my sdcard and get clockworkmod to install the update from sdcard but I get an error like getprop CID and the update fail.
how can I get back to 100% Stock, unrooted and be able to get the OTA update?

What makes you think opening a new tread is going to solve your issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1043541 quicker?
Absolutely nothing. I started a new thread because the issue in the original post is resolved and i'm facing a complete new problem. Because the initial issue was very specific to my carrier I tough starting a new thread for the new issue may get more answers cause its more generic.
It is that bad?
OK Short Update,
I've been able to install the OTA Update using Recovery. I got the update notification then downloaded the update. I opened the zip file and modified the updater-script to bypass CID check adding || 1 == 1 (So the CID check will always return true then I click ok on the System Update notification.
Phone rebooted and in recovery I selected install ZIP from sdcard. Pointed to the OTA update and everything went fine.
So I'm unrooted now but i'm still S-Off and because I installed the OTA update over a rooted nandroid backup, SuperUser is still in the rom and I can't delete it.
I'm still not able to return the phone for repair and still don't know what to do.
And the last problem, Wifi doesn't work anyore on my phone. It says wifi error and I can't get the mac Adress on Info about your phone, nor the bluetooth address.
Any solution?
Any news about that? I'm still stuck with stock rom but no wifi and bluetooth and can not delete superuser from apps drawer. Thanks
You cannot delete superuser as its embedded in your ROM. Superuser doesn't magically appear when you get root, its put on ROMs for your use or put on during the root process for certain devices.
Now anyways, onto your predicament. You should search your vendors website for an update RUU (eg. vodafone website) or in the android development section. Once you find one to your liking you just follow the Vision Wiki guide to unrooting. There really is no easier way to remove all the aspects of a root without following those steps. Ultimately following that guide will help you restore your Desire Z/G2 to a normal one with no superuser, superCID or secu-flag unlock.
Just a side note, it will be rather difficult for you to obtain a stock ROM from any other user because since they don't have root access or clockworkmod they can't make you a backup of their 1.72 based ROMs.
Just got my S3. Should I take the initial OTA or will that make it harder for me to root?
I've done my initial homework by searching but I'm still a little unclear. I'm so accustomed to HTC with their OTAs changing Hboot and preventing s-off, etc. I found the guide on how to root but does the bootloader need to be unlocked?
This is my first Samsung device so please be gentle to this noob.

Your safe to take it, initial root process will be the same regardless. You'll most likely root flashing cwm recovery or a insecure kernel in odin so the system wont matter.only the vzw model has a locked bootloader. doesnt apply to us
If you are at n00b status i personally reccomend mskips toolkit found here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746680 ---guys a genius, has everything you need.
you can't OTA update a phone that's rooted or has CWM on it, so definitely update before you root.
Exactly, it will download but will fail on the install because CWM is installed. You must have the Samsung stock recovery installed in order to update. Depending on what ROM you are running, you can re-install stock recovery, install OTA update, re-install CWM, then root again. That is what I did, but I am running Rooted Stock.

Really the ota's don't matter ne way as the only important parts are the modems which can be dl'd here and applied in cwm anyway
Thanks fellas. My only concern was with the ability to root and staying unlocked after taking an OTA. I'm traumatized by the EVO 3D's OTA that updated the Hboot and was just a pain in the ass.
What's the current OTA address anyway?

There is a newer OTA sometime in August, do some searching it fixed Google wallet. Download Voodoo OTA root keeper from the market, play store whatever. Temporally unroot accept the OTA then reroot using Voodoo, works perfectly
I have a rooted S3 with CWM at my recovery image and the OTA update came out and everytime i try to update, the update downloads but when the phone reboots into recovery/download mode, it fails right there and doesnt install the update. How can go ahead and make this happen and fix the issue that I have. Im afraid i might have to unroot and then update. HELPPPP!!!!
Drew
Its your recovery, not the root. But you will lose root, most likely. Use ota rootkeeper from the market to back up and restore root. Also, you will need to go back to 3e recovery (stock recovery). Out, just flash the cwm lh9 zip in the general section
I had a very similar issue after rooting. After searching through a ton of the posts under Mr. Robinsons Sticky on rooting, these are the steps that I used.
1.Go to Google Play and download OTA Rootkeeper,
2.Run it and choose the Option to protect root AND then choose the disable root phone option.
3.Then go to Settings -- About Device -- Software Update and download the update.
4.Once the update finishes installing the phone will reboot.
5. Open OTA Rootkeeper and re-enable root
this is what worked for me.
Here's a thread with the OTA in a zip you can flash right from CWM without losing root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31802808

Yes, actually, you can even upgrade to Lollipop even if SuperSu is installed (If you had flashed a recovery, you need replace it to stock one by flashing the stock recovery again, since Google may flash the OTA via stock recovery).
And yes, if you want to make sure not to have any issues with android L, you can uninstall SuperSu.
(Remember to uninstall frameworks like Xposed or BusyBox if installed before upgrading.)
Cheers!
