My answer ----->>>>> Search and read. Then search and read some more. The stock nougat update status has been covered in multiple posts. Custom ROMs and rooting covered extensively. How to take an OTA update after TWRP and root... been covered too. No offense, but this stuff has been covered so much that creating a new post to ask this question is IMO excessive and I think a little research on your part would have answered your question quite thoroughly.

Hi! All. i'm looking for stock rom for iconia a500 for Singapore. Need to unroot it & install stock rom & receive OTA updates from Acer. Can anyone tell me how to determine which stock rom is for the Singapore market? I have Acer Recovery Installer installed with ClockworkMod Recovery rev1.3.4 by thor2002ro. I did not do a backup of my stock rom previously therefore now at a lost as to how i can revert back to official rom to receive OTA updates.

Well, folks, don't throw any bricks at him.
@wolvie77, you are posting this question in the wrong forum. This is for Development threads. It "should" have been posted in Q&A.
Secondly, you have posted the same question in 3 different threads. A big "no-no"
Thirdly, I already answered your question as best as I could in one of your other posts.
Finally, if you root and install a custom rom, you should already know how to roll back to an original rom, before you did it. If you didn't learn this, well, call it a lesson learned.
I'll help you a little, install a com gen 1 rom. Will it be be exactly like you had before? Probably not, because you didn't write down what you had before you installed a custom rom!
However, when Acer pushes OTA's, you will be able to receive them.
To roll back to stock, read the threads, or post the question in the correct forum... Q&A. (Questions and answers). Hell, you can post it General also.

I thought I'd jump in to make a suggestion before you get filleted like a fish. Please see this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145848. It will tell you EVERYTHING you need to know. Read, re-read if necessary; trust me, it's all in there. It's VERY well written with a tremendous amount of time spent to help all of us out.
I think the thread linked above should answer your question pretty well. Also, in future please search before posting and post questions in the Q&A forum.

like they said above....read.
however, to answer the question simply, if you want to update to stock ota after rooting, you will need to reflash stock recovery, then you can either wait for the notification to update or you can download the signed ota zip and sideload it with stock recovery. you do not need to worry about actually being rooted....this does not affect whether you can update or not. what does affect it, though, is the recovery you have installed. and in order to root, you needed to install a custom recovery. This must be revered to stock prior to updating.
I have the jelly bean update, but am not 100% sure of the exact firmware at the moment. I am looking for a general starting point, I have already unlocked it, but need to root and install custom recovery. I will answer any questions needed to help me out.
Thank you in advance,

I've been through them, am not sure which one to follow.
Hey XDA! Just picked up new Droid RAZR M (XT907) and immediately messed it up on the first day. So here's the deal:
- I'm an idiot.
- Got it with 98.30.1 FW, so I used this method to root it: http://www.droidviews.com/root-verizon-droid-razr-m-razr-hd-maxx-hd-latest-firmware/
- Forgot to unlock the bootloader
- Installed ROM Manager and flashed CWM recovery
And this must have messed up something, because now I'm not able to:
- Unlock my bootloader
- Get into recovery, it returns this error: "failed to hab check for recovery 0x56"
I'm clueless now, since I have not much knowledge in this stuff...
I'd be so thankful if anyone could help me
Thanks!
Edit: Will this help me? http://www.phonearena.com/news/How-...-M-back-to-stock-ICS-from-the-JB-leak_id35580
Edit 2: Okay, so that didn't help, but I used "DROID RAZR M Utility 1.20" from mattlgroff and I was successful with bringing OG recovery back. However, I found out that the bootloader on my build just can't be unlocked. I also tried to install Safestrap and install CM on another slot, but it failed with status 6. Why is that? Or is there just any other way how to install any ROM?

Thanks, but I don't need that. I just expected a simple answer. So I'll just answer myself, sum up what I needed to know. Correct me if I'm wrong:
- There's no way I'm going to unlock my BL, I'm stuck with locked BL on my build
- There's no way I'm going to install CM (not even using SS)
- I can only wait on official Motorola KitKat update (coming in months???)
- I can also install some stock-based ROMs with SS
Yeah, I don't wanna Safestrap with custom stock-based ROMs if it can't be official CM. I'll rather keep my internal storage space with stock, disable bloat and wait for official 4.4.2 update...

Simple answer.
Do you know how many times it has been summed up! For you to find if you just searched! Or just browsed the thread titles in the general forum!
That page is all YOU need.
We need it sticked.
There is an old ss cm btw. See dev section.

Yeah, that page is also A LOT of stuff I DO NOT need.
You didn't get that. Simple answer is something else than you may think and also best answer is something really distant.
I just wanted a direct response or confirmation of what I said, not this negativism. Yeah, but what could I expect, typical XDA attitude...

I do apologize you fell this way about the members here at xda... Here at xda we help a lot of people, take time from our day away from our loved ones to assist those in need... Avi helps a lot members a lot of members... You have to understand that your issue your question has been answered and resolved several times prior to this post... I'm sure just scrolling through the topics reading the titles you would have found the answer/s to your question/s (probably answered by Avi)... I understand the search feature of xda may not result in what you are looking for but google will... We do get very tired of answering the same questions over and over again... So i apologize for the "negativism" but Why help those who won't help them selves... knowledge is power and reading is the key...

To answer your question, yes to all. And before you jump so quick as to label this typical xda attitude, keep in mind I can label you typical self entitled noob expects everything on a silver platter. People get tired of answering the same question a hundred times over... Guess your number in line. Anytime you're dealing with a locked BL it's a good idea to learn all the intricacies of your phone, which is precisely where you were referred to.... And precisely where I had to start too. That said, politeness and gratitude will get you farther in getting noob answers quicker, which none of your posts contained.
Thanks! I'm sorry if it sounded rude, I'm really grateful for any type of help. I've spent like 5h in all kinds of threads, but most of the time I just get "half-answers" from just reading and reading and reading. I'm not expecting any type of extremely thorough answer, just a direct answer with confirming of what I said. Sending me another link (which I already read) just makes me even more confused. I just found out for example, that Koush's Helium doesn't work on Motorola devices. Does that apply for root method, too? If so, are there any other alternatives to backup & restore on my RAZR M (without and with root)?
So I'm on the stock rom from Google now and rooted my phone via TWRP to gain access to XPOSED and other goodies, how am I supposed to take the OTA updates? I tried downloading the factory images from Google and flashing the recovery of my build number, but that didn't seem to solve the problem. I know that I can use the flash-all script, but that would wipe my phone. So basically, what do I do? Also, is there a way for me to not have to flash new whatevers each month and just be able to take OTA updates no problem, or is that something that rooted users just have to deal with?
Dude. In this same section, approximately four posts above yours is a stickied guide from Heisenberg. READ IT. There is a section in the guide that specifically explains in great detail how to update to a new build of the stock ROM without losing data. After reading that guide, if you still have questions, feel free to ask.
