should i install it, and will it take my root away?
If you have a custom recovery I do not think it will install. But to be safe, using root explorer (or similar app) go to /cache and delete the update zip, and then go to /etc/security and delete otacerts zip.
You should then be able to accept the update notification a count down timer will start but since you deleted the update zip nothing should happen.
**Edit** check out this thread, there is some info about this update and force rom:

Try to unmount the sd then download and install, it worked for me when angry birds didn't install.
Package file not signed correctly when I did that

Same problem.
Mines updated... but I just realized none of my downloads are showing up in the market.
I found that edited apks (themed or otherwise) cause updates to not install correctly. Have you tried uninstalling gmail altogether and then reinstalling?
try using rom manager's file permissions fix that helped me with some apps that were failing upgrades. (assuming your rooted of course)
also... try using root explorer, navigate to system/app change to r/w permissions.
delete the gmail.apk, reboot to recovery and wipe dalvik. Reboot and re download from market. Hope this helps
I'm running rooted Froyo 2.3.340 on my Droid X. I downloaded the two zip files (from this site: http://www.droid-life.com/2011/05/28/download-official-droidx-gingerbread-4-5-596-for-rooted-users/) as per instructions in method 2...
I wiped my cache using Cache Cleaner....
I opened Bootstraper for Droid 2....I hit "bootstrap recovery..."
I hit "reboot recovery...."
I went to install zip file from sdcard, navigated to zip 1 and went to install...after about 5 seconds, I received this message:
http://i.imgur.com/Y50yw.jpg
I did rename the zip files to make them easier to find...could this be the cause of the problem?
Well I know renaming them isn't the problem because I did the same thing.
It says the failed operation was checking for a specific file. Try reinstalling or uninstalling whatever app that failed. Or if it is a file for a system app, not a data app, let me know what it is (since I can't really read it clearly in the picture) and I will upload it for you to download and replace.

It might have done that since you cleared your cache.

I resolved the issue by renaming the system files (bloatware) I changed to .bak, back to .apk
After this I ran the bootloader and it installed the zipped files no problem.
Yes. The 2-part update to GB needs to be started with stock Froyo, like out was right out of the box.

as far as i remember, CWM will be removed each time you restart your phone,unles you have a custom kernel/rom.
but its been long time ago when i did that x3
If stock there is a file that needs to be removed or renamed,

No. You merely need to rename / remove the install-recovery.sh script in /etc to prevent the stock recovery from writing at boot.

Yeah, restoring the file will then cause the stock recovery to be written upon reboot (if you want to go back to the stock recovery for some reason).
same but i solved it

I updated to JB 4.3 via adb/fast boot and everything went smooth. The only issue I'm having is that when setting up ROM toolbox ad blocker I'm getting an error can't mount system read/write after the host file is downloaded. I installed busy box beforehand and had no problems mounting the system r/w there and also able to mount r/w inside es file explorer. Anyone have any idea what's going on...I'm I missing something?

Yea, I rooted. I used a version of super su that is recommended for JB 4.3. I updated the su binaries. There's something keeping the ad blocker from mounting r/w on the / I decided to go back to 4.2.2 for now. I was having another issue with 4.3... I couldn't uninstall the stock launcher through titanium backup. When I tried it said the system apk couldn't be located. I didnt really notice much to speak of in the way of new features in 4.3
[Q] "Your device has been modified. Software updates not available" Unrooted
Hi,
I rooted my device with Odin/CF autoroot (still on stock rom)
I now want to get the official update. I've unrooted by using the 'Permanently Unroot' within Super SU. I've cleared the cache partition in recovery. I do not have an SD card.
It still says modified and won't update. Can anyone offer assistance?

I did not. Where can I find this? Under 'My Files' I can't see system. Also, is this safe?

The problem is going to be you have to be rooted to delete it. It is safe and should have been removed before you unrooted.

Rerooted in the same way. Ensured I am rooted (even downloaded Root checker). Navigated to system/app but there is no busybox there :/

Sorry for being such a pain in the ass but under system/xbin I only have
daemonsu
daemonsu-old
dexdump
su
Nothing busybox related.
I've done a full search using ES File Explorer of my local files - 0 results found for busybox.
This may or may not have anything to do with the update issue but it's worth a try. Sometimes the damensu-old file will remain in xbin after unroot. Next time before unrooting uninstall any play store update to the supersu app then unroot from settings in supersu. After you unroot use es file explorer to confirm that the only file left in xbin is dexdump. Then try the ota update.

Sounds like you need to reroot then use triangle away, then use those steps.

Thanks. Reading that thread it seems it may not even help. I may just flash back to stock if possible..
I bought the I9505 from Amazon.co.uk - can you please point me in the right direction to what firmware I need?
Google, my friend.
