Cannot run ota after unrevoked3.3

I ran unrevokrd3.3 on my rooted phone thinking I can accept the latest ota after. No luck. Still getting the !. What am I doing wrong. Please help.

You are rooted why would you even want the latest ota. Just flash a rooted version of the ota if you really want it. This would belong in the question and answer forum btw.
Why are people not doing more research before flashing things to their phone, rooting, and downloading stuff.

New ota update has anyone flashed?

Has anyone actually flashed the new ota that has come out on a stock non rooted device. I've seen that its floating around although I haven't seen any conformation that people have successfully flashed it and that it works.

Would like to know if it can be applied to a rooted iconia or if I should unroot first.

It's an incremental, not a full ROM. It should work fine rooted, but if you've altered, frozen, renamed or deleted ANY original files, it will fail.

See I haven't rooted at all and have the version 1.141.07 so it should be okay to update right? The worst thatll happen is it fails to install and I just go back to what I had before correct?

That is correct.

So just to confirm I wont lose my current data?

Not if you flash the FOTA when your tablet notifies you, no.

Ah I know that, I'm talking about flashing the one posted on the forums

It's a full ROM. When flashing a full ROM, it's always best to wipe data first. You can try without doing that; it might be fine, it might not.
Worst that can happen is you'd have to go back into recovery and wipe.
Do a backup first, a nandroid one in case you want to rollback, and a Titanium one for your apps and data for easy reinstallation.

Hmm, I thought the one on the forum was an incremental to 3.1?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App

Hi All
I've also got the system prompt to update to 1.141.07 (39.71MB). I have not rooted and have three numpty questions-
1.This I understand is not the Honeycomb 3.1 update?
2.Also I'm in the UK and got my Iconia in the USA- that does not have any effect on updating does it? I mean setting wise?- (dumb but I'm being very cautious!)
3.The Wifi issue people are having with this update is related to ROOTED tablets?
Cheers all

I was rooted and I flash the full from everything is working fine right now!

Freezing the OTA silent install?

Hi, I just rooted using Kindle Water and got the Android Market installed. Can I stop the next OTA update by freezing the app on my kindle using Titanium Backup?
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium

Sorry, I am not sure but I am really interested to find this out myself. I have read a few articles today and there seems to be a few procedures but nothing where someone has said it 100% works.
There must be a consensus among the developers/experienced techies - please let us know.

Yes, I have done it, search got otacerts.zip in this forum.

So is it not as simple as flashing a custom ROM as has been made out in this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23231575#post23231575

Thought you wanted to stay on the stock ROM...
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium

Sorry not me, I would flash CM7/CM9. I don't care much for the standard ROM plus I live in the UK so wouldn't get any amazon services anyway.
I don't mean to hijack the thread but the OP hasn't stated whether he would stay standard or not.
People in another thread have just confirmed by flashing a non standard ROM I will not receive any updates

I believe that is correct, if you running a non stock ROM then Amazons OTA updates are not an issue.
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium

The only ways to stay stock and prevent it are to unregistered your kindle on amazon.com, turn off wifi, or diligently check the cache folder and delete the file when it downloads. It doesn't install immediately and it won't download it again once you delete it

OK guys I've learned a lot in the past 12 hours. I appreciate all of the help. My question, is it easier just to download cyanogenmod on the rom manager app than downloading it thru the website?

I would just go to the thread in the Original Development section on this forum, follow the direct link and download the latest nightly - I have experience with other devices but, after die research on here, bought my S4 this evening and had CM running ten minutes after I got home. You can do it too!

Now as far as any OTA updates i want/need, what is the protocol in getting them?

You can't get them on a custom rom
I forget what I read on a custom recovery and rooted--getting older--
I think you need to go back to stock--someone can confirm
I haven't Googled that yet either
There were some rootkeeper apps that were used on my other phones, don't know what works here
I never took OTA's after rooted and flashing my other phones as dev's seemed to have updates faster than my carrier

Generally, the newer firmware versions that get pushed out as OTA updates will be incorporated into custom Touchwiz roms, such as ShoStock and Mint Jelly. However, if you flash CyanogenMod or any other AOSP-based rom such as SlimBean or AOKP, OTA updates will be completely meaningless. It's a different world altogether.
Either way, my advice is the same: Don't mess with OTA's. At best, they could give you the same features as a custom rom. At worst, they could kill the Loki exploit and lock your bootloader for good.

UPDATED! 10/15 [Announcement] Safestrap released by Hashcode

In case you missed it Hashcode released the alpha of Safestrap over here...
[RECOVERY LOCKED] Safestrap Recovery v3.6x
...I am just sharing the news. You need to check the original thread for details and instructions. Please read carefully as there are a few caveats at this time. Like...
CURRENTLY THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WHERE IF YOU HAVE ENCRYPTION ENABLED AND INSTALL SS IT BOOTLOOPS. IF YOU FIT THIS DESCRIPTION PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM SAFESTRAP FOR NOW.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
KNOWN ISSUES (PLEASE READ CAREFULLY):
For locked users: there is a process that happens when you click "Reboot Recovery" from the APK or use the "Recovery" button during the splash screen. Safestrap checks the device for write_protect and if it's enabled will automatically reboot the device to recovery (write_protect disabled) mode. You will see this as a screen with ORANGE text reading: "PLEASE WAIT THE DEVICE IS REBOOTING TO RECOVERY". Followed by the bootloader screen again. You may also see the splashscreen for Safestrap. If you see the splashscreen hit "Recovery" again. It's supposed to automatically take you to into recovery, but it doesn't work correctly yet.

And there are other things you need to read as well. So head over there and check out the OP and enjoy.
10/15 UPDATE BELOW
Hashcode said:
NEW Safestrap in the OP Link: v3.63
ATTENTION: IF UPGRADING FROM v3.62 or EARLIER USE "REMOVE RECOVERY" IN THE APK BEFORE INSTALLING THE NEW VERSION. I CHANGED THE HIJACK IN v3.63 -- DIFFERENT FILES ARE BEING CHANGED NOW.
CHANGES:
[3.63] I re-wrote the hijack to work at a MUCH better point during the boot. This cleans up most of the "jankyness" we were previously seeing with BT/Wifi and adb serial # on the stock rom. ** Note when upgrading to v3.63: Make sure to use the "Remove Recovery" in the previous version BEFORE installing the new APK. **
[3.63] The 2nd-init hijack was updated to work w/ Android 4.3 (for when that's pushed)
[3.62] Better handling for the virtual partitions
[3.62] Some bugfixes for /mnt handling
[3.62] Customizable sizes for partitions (you can use the defaults if unsure). Use the "+" or "-" buttons on the rom-slot creation screen to add / remove 100mb per click.
Enjoy

I just saw the tweet and thought I would share it. You'll have to double check the original thread. But it looks like (to me and I could be completely wrong) that as long as you haven't enabled encryption then you should be good.
