Could someone please point me in the direction of where I can get the Evo 4G 4.22 stock recovery image?
Stock recovery is no recovery,what exactly are you looking for?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I am rooted and have CWM installed. I am looking to put back the stock 4.22 recovery so I may install the the 4.24 OTA update.
I like to keep my Rom stock and prefer to install updates via OTA.
If you take the 4.24 OTA you will no longer be "rooted" Look for one of the rooted ROMs and flash it
Yeah,what he said
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I am using the Unrevoked root method and no update (3.70,4.22) to date has unrooted my phone.
I have simply been restoring the current version of the stock recovery, which I have previously found on the internets, and then running the OTA update as normal. Once done I install CWM and the latest SU updates. Works great.
I would like to perfrom this method once agian to install the 4.24 update and all I need is the 4.22 stock recovery.
If you don't want to be rooted anymore, then just accept the OTA - it'll override your current recovery with the stock recovery, which is actually a lack of recovery.
But as others have said, you won't be able to root again unless you've ran unrevoked or unrevoked forever and remain s-off. In that case, you'll have to flash a recovery and then flash the rooted version. So if you want to stay rooted, you might as well go ahead and do that. You should be able to just wipe cache and dalvik and install, so the end result will be the same but you'll be rooted.
I hope that made sense...

You probably want this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133379
This is the actual update, but rooted, so you can keep your CWM recovery, get the latest update that was made OTA, but remain rooted. You don't want to just accept the OTA if prompted, your root will go away.
Once you've downloaded it (and the radio update as well), follow the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14933526&postcount=31
Thats the problem. I cannot install the OTA 4.24 update with CWM installed, nor can I install the update manually, via renaming and then update method, as it will error out during install.
OTA updates will only install if the proper stock verion of recovery in installed, hence I really need the 4.22 recovery.
Installing OTA updates when using Unrevoked does not change S-OFF, it only overwrites SU which can be easily reinstalled. I know as I rooted my evo way back when it was version 3.26 using unrevoked 3 and have installed every OTA update since using this method and still have S-OFF
Thanks, but I do not need to go that route. My method will update as normal and I wont have to wipe my phone.

And you won't be rooted anymore. There are only about 3 thousand posts telling people this, and most AFTER they found out the hard way. There are stock Rooted ROMS based on the recovery, as in STOCK! but still rooted, and up to date.
BTW, there are also a lot of posts detailing how the OTA made their phones worse, but if you want to be a hard head, go ahead and bury yourself, but don't come back crying when you figure out.
how come every other incompetent noob can manage to get their phone back to stock and permanently locked/unrooted, yet I cannot manage this feat intentionally?
if I intentionally flash the 4.22 zip from shipped-roms will this eliminate my root and recovery?
well install the 4.22 update from recovery didn't work... it aborted with some error.
ARGHHH!!! SOMEONE HELP ME LOCK MY PHONE PLEASE!!!
I appreciate the heads up, but if done correctly, it does work and has worked great for me the past few OTA updates.
I am aware of all the potential problems and am not the only one successfully installing OTA updates on a rooted evo and staying rooted.

Bottom line is if you change back to S-ON, and apply the OTA you lose root forever (or until Unrevoked finds a new backdoor). If you leave S-OFF then you can downgrade, and reload a recovery. The stock ROM's you'll find here (ex. Sprint Lover's) are stock, and rooted. They pretty much the same thing you get over the air. Don't be a lid..
I downloaded a from shipped roms the last rom for my evo and downloaded the s-on tool. Ran the tool then connected my phone to the computer and ran the RUU i donloaded. Fully stock unrooted locked phone
I am a noob
First learn the correct terminology for what you are tying to achieve. There is no 4.22 recovery that you can just flash, there is a 4.22 ROM and a 4.22 RUU.
Then check out the WIKI and FAQs these both contain the info you are looking for .
Not trying to be mean. Just do some research before you mess up your phone and come here asking for stuff that doesn't exist.
4.22 ROM = just the ROM
4.22 RUU = .exe that runs on your PC to FLASH your PHONE with new radio, recovery, hboot, rom, etc

Well said
This is what you want to do to get to the latest OTA STOCK no root
* if you leave S-Off you can re-root *
I never got the original ICS update OTA, after trying every troubleshooting suggestion ASUS had to offer I finally just said screw it and rooted my TF101 and installed the ROM manually from here. Now, strangely enough, I am getting the latest one OTA with the option to postpone only 3 times, I'm not concerned with losing root or anything, I just don't want to brick my tablet. Is it safe to take the update?
Do you have CWM installed?
It generally is a bad idea to install official OTA's on a rooted device. If you're running a normal Asus Rom modified to keep root you might want to just flash ARHD while you're at it
Thats what I thought, thanks for confirming that for me. What exactly is ARHD? I do have CWM installed.

Anyone have any issues trying to update with the stock ROM and recovery (not rooted either)? My wife's will download the update and reboot where it shows the android guy and the progress bar that gets to about 1/3 the way across, then get the Android guy with the Exclamation point in the triangle. Tried it twice.
Anyone else getting this?
Just so I have it straight ...
I have the same issue. I have an updated to ICS and rooted the device (no custom ROM) TF101. I have CWM installed.
I have the option to update the firmware ....
1) should I unroot and install the OTA update? Then re-root?
2) Go ahead and install regardless
3) Then I can install the ARWD?
4) some other option ????
I have looked and I haven't found a clear answer.

This is what I did with mine. It updates everything but your recovery since you have a custom one on yours. This was the easiest thing with CWM installed with the stock ICS ROM
Thanks folks! I have my answer.
If I was lucky enough to get a new GS4 At&t with the mdl firmware I can root and install a custom recovery like twrp. Is that right?
I was thinking of using this guide and then installing cyanogenmod. This should be possible right?

Yes - MDL firmware will work with the loki bootloader exploit no problem. Definitely read that guide and probably the other stickies as well, so you fully understand what's going on.
Also, when you get the phone, take measures to make sure it does not download the update. Remove the SIM card and turn off wifi so it can't download anything. Then root and install custom recovery and you can turn that all back on (update can't happen with custom recovery).
If you're going to keep it stock for a bit, make sure you root and use Titanium Backup to disable the update apps. You can find those in one of the stickies.
Hi! I haven't seen any posts about this, and couldn't find any posts either by searching, so I'll ask
I've got an F320S which is rooted. I tried to install a 20MB update, but got "blocked" because of root. I installed custom-recovery in order to try to installing it from there, but with no luck. That resulted in a bootloop. So my question is: How can I update my phone?
Is it also possible to update it to KitKat (if there are any KitKat update for F320S. I've seen it on the internet, so it is available?)
Thanks!

you have a custom recovery installed on your phone, this is why the update fails. the custom recovery is not the same as the stock recovery so the script the update uses to execute the update doesnt work for custom recoveries. you'd have to reinstall the stock recovery to get the update to work. i dont know where you'd get that for the f320s. maybe if there is a guide to go back to complete stock for the f320s then that will also give you back stock recovery. then you can make a copy of the stock recovery image for yourself. also if you have root you can install supersu then go into supersu settings and scroll all the way to the bottom and unroot your device.
I made a backup of the stock recovery before flashing CWM. Wouldn't it be possible to just restore it? I flashed and made a backup with flashify!

I tried to install stock recovery, unroot, and then update, but for some reason, the phone still suspected me for being rooted...
I finally clicked the Install Now button to take the Verizon G2 OTA to Kit Kat.
The phone rebooted and then went into TWRP recovery. Figured out how to get past that using ADB, but when phone boots up it tries to install the OTA, but fails and says:
"Sorry there was a problem updating your LG VS980. No changes where made."
In the Status section of ABOUT, SOFTWARE UPDATE, status shows as Update Failed, with code = 408.
Any ideas on how to fix this failed OTA?
If you want to ota you have to be complete stock no custom recovery(cwm/twrp/philz), no xposed/modules, no mods, nothing modified in the system partition you need to be completely stock to be able to ota

Thanks so much!
I thought I read that but also didn't find a way to go from stock 12b (with Xposed, some minor mods and TWRP) to 24a without a full wipe..
Know of a way? Or post to point me to?
