Hi, I have a rooted Nexus S 4G with the stock rom but a different kernel and CWM recovery. I have received the OTA update for ICS but can't install it. I was wondering what I can do to go back to stock kernel and stock recovery to install the OTA update so I don't have to wipe all my data and worry about that.
Is it possible? Where are the stock kernel files and how do I do the recovery?
Thanks.
Nooooooooooooo
Could you please provide a working link?

Download these files:
2.3.5 Full ROM
2.3.7 Incremental Update.
4.0.4 Incremental Update (If you already got the update notification, you can copy this from /cache to the sdcard.)
Superuser.
Recovery Saver.
Flash the zips in this order:
504d...
2e8d...
TAMkDR3z
Superuser
Leave_the_twrp_alone
This will not work in twrp recovery 2.1. Use twrp 2.0 or earlier, or clockworkmod.
Protip: Some root apps requireBusyBox.
Hi all,
We all know JB is coming soon, or at least, we hope
My phone has just returned from assistance and then i decided to remain on stock rom, but i have rooted it
My question is: is possible to have official JB update if i restore the stock,unrooted,kernel?
Thanks

Im using stock galaxy s3 rom, too. with root. and i was able to update via Samsung Kies without any problems. then rooted again. Don't know if it will be different for JB tho. but i guess it will be the same.

but you reverted to a stock kernel or kies updated also with rooted one?
Root = no or failed OTA update .
But should update via Kies .
Root is lost .
jje
It will flash with root OTA or through Kies. At least it does for me.

I updated my rooted stock rom via kies without any problems. But not JB of course. Some other ICS update some weeks ago. It worked without problems, i just had to re-root again.

If your system status indicates "modified" you can't do OTA, just via kies. you may have this status, as do I, after flashing via Odin, and even after using triangle away.

Really? The status shows modified even after using triangle away? Then we wouldn't get repair in case of trouble right?

I just Kies-updated my SGS3 international to JB after being rooted running stock ICS 4.0.4. Now it runs 4.1.1 but is no longer rooted. OTA did not report ugrade available. At least it did not yet before Kies did its job.
So here is a sample that a rooted ICS can be upgraded just like you did with the same side effects.
So, I recently just unrooted to stock 4.2.2 in order to get the OTA update. Then, I re-rooted and re-unlocked the bootloader, installing the latest cwm recovery. I am now running stock rom with moles halfbreed kernel. Can I still get the OTA from the upcoming Google IO? Thanks for the help guys!

I believe you can flash the update in cwm, by the way this belongs in the Q&A section.
Not with a custom kernel.
I made an OTA thread outlining what you need for the OTA to complete. It's a sticky.

Right sorry about that either way its pretty easy to get back to the stock kernel and I believe moles has a zipped stock kernel at goo.im
OTA updates are for people that never heard of xda.
We'll have the update flashable within hours, new roms within the day..
Greetings everyone this is my first post! I am aware of the noob video and I did search the forums first but my question I believe is too general so I thought a post was necessary.
I have a Samsung galaxy S4 (SPH-720) that I rooted back during Jelly bean version 4.2.2 .
My main reason for rooting the phone was getting the hotspot for free.
Now that I am rooted the phone constantly (weekly) is trying to update me to MF9.
I tried the manual way to update the mf9 on qbking77s' page to no avail.
With both the air version of the update and the manual (qbking77 SD card) I can get to the acceptance screen and it starts but will not complete the update. It shows the Droid on his back with his belly open, then it restarts and powers' up.
I'd also like the ability to move a large gaming app to my SD card (I read this was a capability of Mf9).
Lastly, what I'm trying to learn here is how do I keep my phone updated with what the carrier (Sprint) wants me to have now that I'm rooted?
The apps that I am running for the root process etc. are
Super SU
Rom Installer
Rom Toolbox Lite
Root Checker Basic
PdaNet+ (Hotspot)
You can Odin the MF9 or MJA(4.3) stock tar and then root from there

It should be safe to flash a 4.3 ROM from 4.2.2. I did it with no issues using philz recovery and flashing sacs 4.3. Also flashed the mf9 radio through odin and all without a hiccup.
Hello all..
Hello all, not so much as a noob to the website but a noob to posting. I have a Galaxy4 running Sacs rom 4.3 and it seems to be just fine. I did notice that I didn't see the Aroma installer. Never gave me the options other than the google setup. Hmm

The AROMA installer runs when you install the ROM. I don't believe you can install it at all unless there was a version released without the AROMA installer.
The installer is run in recovery.

I was thinking the same thing, but I don't believe it ever showed its self. I booted in Philz recovery and installed Sacs rom and Aroma never showed its head. After the Rom installed through Philz it restarted and went right into Google setup. Strange.
Any one mind..
posting a link where to find the proper link to flash (as you say) to 4.3
and philz recovery.
Sorry if I seem like myself here a total NOOB!!!
Thanks
I have a P1640 recently updated to lollipop 5.1. I was using a rooted 4.4.2(2.5) with TWRP-V3. I flashed the recovery image from 4.4.2 2.4.1, and then booted to apply the "OTA". From here 5.1 rebooted and installed, then updated everything. All apps survived with exception to xposed and superSU.
I rebooted to bootloader, and used fastboot to boot TWRP-V3 (no flashing). With TWRP, I was able to install superSU and reboot.
Now I have 5.1 rooted, and adaway updated

wait, you have lollipop 5.1 on the TN7 P1640?
i thought that you also had the P1880.
EDIT: how does the TN7 perform with root on 5.1 (any FC'S from some apps etc)?

Hi there, i can't believe it. I also have a 1640 rooted on 4.4.2. Why should the OTA be come with image 2.4.1 and not 2.5? Thought the update to lollipop is only for the 1988 model? But by the way, it would be nice!

I had the 2.5 OTA on the tablet with TWRP-V3... I had to put a stock recovery on the tablet in order to run the 5.1 update. I did not backup my 2.5 recovery image, so I went with the next available recovery, from OTA 2.4.1
I really do hope that the 5.1 update is released soon, as it seem to be working perfectly. Antutu refused to work though, the test button did nothing.

Well, KK 4.4.2 was really getting laggy on me, this is when I went searching for updates. I ended up flashing EVERYTHING and starting with a new 4.4.2. This made the tablet like new. I used the TN7 as a satnav while I was out of the country for a few weeks, and was having a bad time with the GPS service failing randomly, needing a full reboot. Once I got back, I updated to 5.1 and installed GTA-SA... I played a bit on my way home the other day, and it was nice and smooth, as well as responsive.

Where are you from?
I've heard that only people living in Indonesia can receive the update.

seems very promising
btw that the antutu test button does not work correctly can happen some times on other devices as well. on my nubia z5s i have to press it multiple times until i hit the right spot. maybe you could give it one more try ;D

You got the "OTA for 5.1 is available"-message on your tablet only with 2.4.1 or also before with 2.5? Why you started the Over-The-Air update not from the latest 4.4.2 and downgraded before?

I think there is no OTA for 1640 available ?, the threadowner doesn't post a related screenshot and don't answer.

So please don't make all other tn7 owner completly nervous [emoji16]
