Is it necessary to flash back to stock and be unrooted to receive to upcoming GB update?

As I understand it, yes, you need to be unrooted and stock (I've heard it must be .340 build as well).
When you root, you will not receive updates.
It's up to you, but if you want the stock GB then you will have to be stock, I SBF'd back to .340 build.
Hopefully Friday the 13th will be a lucky day
Good Luck!

OK thanks. I think I am going to flash back to stock also. Thanks for the advice.

You have time, it's been pushed back to the 26th.
Didn't P3 warn everyone you may permanently lose root if you accept the GB OTA update?
That has been said about other updates, then a couple days later, it's rooted.
It will be unrootable initially...will it stay that way? I kind of doubt it, but anything is possible.
Pushed back? Oh well......after I'm all back to stock and ready to go. Im thinking about just staying stock with temp root only, until the OTA. I just hate all the bloatware!

Ok just got prompted for this. I'm rooted, is it safe to update and reroot? Anyone know what changed? Thanks

Just flash a ROM that's based off the current ota. Or if you want to go the stock route there is a rooted pc36img.zip floating around development that will upgrade your radios, hboot, kernel and ROM.

Oh boy!...
Just flash one of the custom ROMs that already have this update implemented. There is no need to unroot and regain root privileges.
I don't want a custom Rom. If I can upgrade and reroot that is what ill do. Just asking is it safe.

That's correct. It's the easiest way to update everything to the latest ota without losing root.

Do you have a link. I actually tried to go through with the update via OTA and it failed during install.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
If failed because you still have a custom recovery on your phone. You can only install an actual OTA if you have a stock recovery. Sorry, no link. On the xda app right now. If you still need it when I get home later I'll post it for you.

Yes please thanks. Unsure of the fixes in this update.

I rooted with Unrevoked and running the stock rom is ok to run ota update?
Why do you guys want to apply an ota after going through root? There are completely stock roms from the latest update so it'll be just like an ota except keeping root. Steelh rom I believe is one of them

No, it will not work for the same reasons that I described earlier.
Here is the link to the thread that has the rooted stock pc36img.zip. Download the file, rename it to pc36img, put it on the root of your sd card, boot into hboot and run the update once it's done loading. More detailed instructions are in the first post of that thread. You will lose all your data so make sure to back it up with Titanium or MyBackup so you can load everything back on after the update.

Doing it the way I described will ensure they are fully up to date, including radios, pri and hboot. Simply flashing a ROM won't update those. I think doing it this way will be easier for the inexperienced, with much less potential for screwing something up.
I dont know if I really wanna flash my radio though, I heard flashing a radio can really jack up your 4G.
I seem to have lost root out of the blue. I hadn't done any updates, and I'm not sure how I lost it at all. ClockWork Mod loads fine, but I have no busybox or root access. Was there a firmware update released within the last week?
What rom are you running?

Running totally stock with the most recent (To my knowledge) OTA. I did an SBF about 2 months ago and rooted after that. When I looked in superuser, the last entry of an allowed program was for the 23 of October. I dont know what happened between then and now, but I had lost root.
Since posting, I did a re-root using the Droid3 root. It obviously took care of it, but I'm still quite clueless as to why this happened.

I believe your phone automatically installed the most recent OTA in that time, causing you to lose root.

If you were rooted and then updated, the su app would remain but root would not. You need to remove the su app before being able to use the one click root.
If you restart and sbf, update before rooting.

That's the thing. To my knowledge it hadn't updated at all. Unless it updated without me knowing...

It quite possibly might have. The latest SBF file is .602 and the latest OTA is .605.
What system version are you running?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
It must have then. I'm running. 605. Never even knew.

same thing happened to me. the only thing i did was uninstall the SU file then re-root with the D3 one-click. has worked just fine since 10/22.
I have a droid 2 non global. I had all ota updates and now i cant root my phone. I have tried everything, even the droid 3 root and nothing. Anyone else having this issue since the latest update? I am stuck and need this bloatware gone. And i want a good ROM. Please help..
Sent from my DROID2 using xda premium
If you installed the most recent update without using Voodoo RootKeeper to back up your root, you're up the creek without a paddle because the newest update breaks root and changes the bootloader so you can't SBF.

Thanks. That explains it!

I hope you're not doing it for some kind of warranty reason, because if so you're hosed. Razr M has a root checker. When you get into recovery, you will notice a yellow "qe 0/1" or something like this. It will say "0/1" if the device has been rooted before but isn't now, "1/1" if the device is currently rooted, and "0/0" if the device has never been rooted.
It is impossible to make it say "0/0" after root, so even if you unroot it (trivial, just fastboot back to stock) it will always say that you have rooted it at one point in time, which voids your warranty (and your TOS, depending). Rooting this phone means taking it into your own hands.
Bastards!
What about for replacement devices after the warranty is over? Like if you get the insurance on the phone, does rooting void that too?

Don't quote me on this, and YMMV but the Verizon (Asurion) insurance covered my rooted d2g a few months ago... it should cover the M as well

So fast boot back to stock will reset the root checker counter?

Would anyone mind linking a verification on this issue? Thinking of getting a RAZR M myself and being able to get abck to stock with a "qe 0/0" in case of a hardware malfunction would be something I would want.
I'm also looking at root and custom roms, and interested in this.
actually in the supersu app ther is an option that says full unroot it is in the settings under clean up and it says full unroot
Can I only unroot my Razr M back to STOCK ICS??? How would I unroot and get JellyBean back? Or can I not get it back?
Btw I prefer the notification bar on ICS versus the new JB one....

Well, the issue is not unrooting; its that Motorola has a root checker in the recovery menu that says whether the phone is rooted, not rooted, or not rooted but was rooted in the past. That last one is the concern....

I had a crazy counter read that was 2:1. I unrooted, flashed to ICS, factory ota to JB and it read 0. That phone is long gone. Had to reflash JB last week on my replacement and now I'm steady at 1:1. So, my guess is you can't. You could on the OG RAZR I believe, but not this updated system. My first M had that reading before the root exploit was available. (2:1)

Good day guys, My g2 comes with firmware version D80210C-AME and i installed D80210E-EUR now should i receive OTA normally over the EUR version or i lost the OTA and i should back to the AME stock version. Thanks

If you flashed a different version there is always a chance wen taking an ota that you may break root or brick your device.
I'm not rooted by the way. But know you suggest me to back to the stock rom

Stock. Don't take OTA. It bases off IMEI. Block it actually.
