you dont need an ota with any nexus. when its out, you can flash it manually, but youll lose root. or you can flash one of the hundreds of rooted stock roms thatll be posted the day the ota is released

r u rooted... so i dont need to worry abt the update ill be able to do it manually too???

You can root the phone then make a backup save it then you can flash whatever you want when the ota comes out restore your backup
From my BLACKED OUT N4

chances are is if youre rooted, youll probably do the update even before an ota would get to you. sometimes you can get the update before the ota comes out.

yup.

How to stop ota?

How do I stop the 4.2 ota? I been reading a lot of bad news about it and no support for stickmount app which I use a lot. I already checked with titanium backup but I can't find the right app to freeze in order to stop firmware updates. Anyone know how to do it?

trust me , im on 4.2 and i dont get any issues , its much better than 4.1.2 , follow my toturial and you will have a nice and clean 4.2

I really don't want to wipe all my data and I want to keep it just stock. I mess around with my gs3 enough I want to leave my nexus 7 stock rooted. I use stickmount on a daily basis so I'm not going to 4.2 until it is compatible

i would like to know how to disable the notification as well.. tia..
Root your nexus and disable ota.
I recommend using wugs toolkit to root since it is so easy
And 'Gemini app manager' or 'Root app delete' ('disable' or 'block' ota, just dont 'uninstall'.
thx for the advice.. i was given another solution which i prefer a bit more..

I followed this guide. It took about 3 minutes and it works. To get updates back I assume just delete the apk from /system/app right/?

im using sdk manager with the command prompt thingy
You do realize that the toolkit isn't magical? It uses the same commands. If you have problems doing it manually, the toolkit won't magically fix that.
Update your SDK files.

i did that is there a way i can just go back to 4.2.1 then it will take me 2 min to root lol
or if i use wugfresh and just say im 4.2.1 will it work?
I don't think you understand. Do whatever. You won't listen anyway.

No, you dont understand.
Just telling the magical toolkit that its 4.2.1 doesnt resolve anything.....
If you have issues manually rooting, the toolkit wont magically make it work....
So what your saying I don't have to download anything at all? Not SDK manager or any rootkits to manually root?

Never mind. All you are going to do is make new threads. All the info you need is here, yet you keep making up new threads asking the same things in a different manner.

Samsung continuum update problems

So I recently got a Samsung continuum from a flea market, and I am using it without activating it through Verizon. It is currently running android 2.1. When I try and update it, it gets stuck on the loading screen. Does it need to have cell service to update? Can I manually update it by flashing a rom, ext? Thanks.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Yes, it would need to be activated to get any Over The Air updates. There are some roms that you can flash, but won't guarantee that any of the links will work. Verizon never updated past Froyo, but there was a Gingerbread leak that worked well, I'm using it on my unactivated Continuum.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Sweet thanks.one more thing: how did you root your continuum? Ive tried z4root, but it didnt work and i also tried superoneclick but my computers antivirus wont let it install.

I used superoneclick, can you disable your antivirus long enough to install it?

Man I really do miss this phone and everything new they put to it! Was a great experience. And lucky for you if you need any of the files I can upload them for you and what not. All still saved on my computer since I didn't bother erasing them. o: So if anything PM me or I'll just upload what you need to here.

Need help

I can't get this thing rooted for nothing...but my first issue is getting the drivers installed? I've downloaded and installed and still not working...is there another way to root or a link someone could provide to the right drivers I've searched and can't find **** on this thing. .Please and thank you
