I couldn't find anything regarding this on the first pages and other threads are old so I was hoping you guys can help me out.
I had a locked operator Gnex and by using Galaxy Nexus ToolKit v7.3 provided here I successfully rooted,unlocked and installed stock JB (bigxie_maguro_JRO03C) on my device.
So now the issue that I have. I'm gonna give the phone to my gf who will be traveling often without me so I want her to have a stock device to get all future OTAs from Google.
How do I install stock recovery, ( maybe even unroot?) and which other settings should I change in order to get OTA installs without failures?
A step by step guide is not necessary but would help me :silly:
Thanks
I used a method found on galaxynexusforum, I can't post url but just google for "[HOW TO] Return to Stock Using Odin (VZW and GSM)".
I received the 4.1.1 OTA just a couple of days ago.
i think we can still receive OTA update even the phone is rooted as long as it is stock JB JRO03C as what i see from posts from other threads.
anyone can confirm this?

Stock without files REMOVED or modified.
Adding SU doesn't change the ability to get an OTA.
A custom recovery does, however.

Ive got a galaxy note polish version, since poland was slow in receiving ics update, i flashed my with official open german version.
If there is OTA in future, will i receive this update automatically?

Jubakuba already awnsered you. Concerning system app removal, you need to put them back before OTA update.

Thanks for the responses guys so let me recall.
I have to download this file
yakju JRO03C from IMM76I and use Method 1 - CWM 5.5.0.2 (i.e., NON-touch) recovery installed ? After I do this the update will erase CWM and my device would look like its a yakju model that just got JRO03C update right?
The CWM or Team Win recoveries will not stick after rebooting the phone with w OTA update. There is a way of making recovery stick on the rooted OTA update. Does anyone know the correct files to freeze or erase for the new recoveries to stick?????
Is there another way of these recoveries to stick besides flashing a custom Rom??

I have root, I have Goo Manager, I'm on a completely stock rooted rom and every time you reboot the new OTA software over writes the custom recovery to the stock Android recovery. If you have a custom rom this will not happen, only on a stock, rooted OTA latest update rom. Others are having the same issue.

What methods did you use to install the ota and root?
Have you tried flashing the stock rooted version wildchld released?

I waited for the OTA update then used Odin to flash root, did not reboot after flashing with Odin, pulled battery, then went right to recovery and flashed super user.zip file. I rooted my phone the right way. This is my 2nd SGS3 and didn't have this problem with the 1st one because it had the older build. This is not a problem if you are on a custom build. Only stock, rooted with latest OTA build.

Guys, I have seen this on my GF's GSII (Sprint) as well as on my nexus 7. They are placing a file called recovery-from-boot.p in the /system/ directory that overwrites recovery on every boot. I put a guide a few post up that outlines the issue when I saw it on my GF's phone.
Personally my T-Mobile has been fine, but this scenario I have dealt with before. So don't flame that bad.
The bottom line is that without some custom modding, if you're running the official stock OTA update, stock kernel, etc, standard CWM recovery is not going to stick.
Plain and simple.

Ok, both files were present as described in your guide.
Renamed both to:

Reflashed CWM through ROM Manager. Rebooting now, then will try power off & booting into recovery. Hang tight

I would argue, I have a stock rooted rom, stock kernel and I update to the new OTA update via Kies and TWRP has stuck every boot since then. I even tested it again when I saw this thread as it made me unsure.

Maybe the Kies version is different than the OTA.
Maybe TWRP overwrites or renames/deletes the files causing it.
But you can't argue with my posts, because I said official OTA update, and CWM.

No worries, but for clarification to all the read this thread. The update from Kies is the exact same Official update as the OTA, so if you have not been prompted for the update yet from T-Mo, just install Kies on your PC and plus your phone in, it will prompt you for the update.
I have another guide I made for that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1842142
For the recovery, installing twrp or CWM wont remove the two files I listed. This is done manually. I know on the sprint side, they made a root Super User package that swiped those off specific to the sprint phone. But I opted away from that for my GF as I Prefer SuperSU and am anal retentive about installing something I don't want and uninstalling it.

ingenious, it's not present on all phones. Like mine for example, I have been fine since day 1 of owning the phone. But my GF's sprint phone had the persistent install present.
It's strange, some phones don't have it at all, some only have the .p file, and some have both. I have not found the common denominator yet.

Reflashing 4.1.2 update will go through the same checks as the 4.2 update and fail... and it would be pointless to flash the 4.1.2 images as you might as well just flash 4.2 images instead..

You could flash the 4.2 directly using the factory images from Google without loosing your apps/data. Follow the steps from here

I think you have missed the point. To do this I have to download the images, extract the kernel, flash the kernel, then do the OTA update. If I have gone to the bother of downloading the images, installing drivers and a toolkit/SDK etc it is just quicker just to flash 4.2

You can flash the kernel with fastboot. The entire operation including download & extract takes less than 5 minutes.

My point is, if you are going to the bother of flashing, then just flash 4.2. There is no logic in flashing 4.1.2 (boot or otherwise) to get the OTA to 4.2. I was just looking for a packaged CMW kernel for 4.1.2 so I could have done the patch update to 4.2 which would have taken less time, than downloading and extracting the images (seen as I already had the patch update downloaded).
I've spent more time debating the subject, than doing the flashing...

I have rooted my phone i have CWM recovery (installed status bar mod), and my device status is modified ( i cant run system update)..
Any way i can change it without loosing data ? Because all solutions i found included wiping data ... And i hate restoring data with titanium stuff etc...

In another thread i was told to go to chainfires root thread but there is only a way with wiping data...
Any one knows way without wiping any data ?

You can NOT use OTA updates after rooting. Period. Even if you get your device status to normal (which requires you to factory reset after rooting and running Triangle Away). OTA updates will only work on unmodified systems.
You can, however, get the update from sammobile and flash with Odin.

Well, I was rooted and my device shows normal. I did not wipe data, factory reset or flash a stock ROM again after rooting. In fact, my phone showed modified immediately after rooted and mysteriously changed to normal the day after without me doing anything at all. The only possibility I can think of is that I used the jig as well as triangle away. If you have a jig, you might want to try and see if it works.

I guess you can quote Chainfire as being wrong as well then, because he says pretty much the same thing. OTA's are usually incremental updates, which means they patch existing files rather than replace them. IF you've just rooted and not done ANYthing else, you can probably get away with flashing an OTA. But if you've patched anything, expect trouble.
If you use ODIN to flash the OTA, you're probably safe as it has coding to fix such problems (as far as I can discern anyway), but flashing the OTA without is just asking for it.
OTA Updates are overrated, why wait for an OTA when you can download from sammobile at your leisure.

My recovery is stock, and is say's modified. The only thing I did was root the phone, stock rom/recovery.
I have a Jig from my S2 days...how will inserting the jig reset it? Anything else need done other than insert it? Did not know the Jig would work with the N2...did not work with my S3.
With the phone off, insert the jig. It should boot into download mode. Then I reboot. That's all I did. I am not saying it will work, just that this was the only thing I did differently from others. Otherwise cannot explain why my status shows normal even though I am rooted and did not factory reset or wipe data after that.

Hi,
I have a galaxy S2, and i have ordered note 2.
I was running a stock rom, with root, cwm, lots of mods, and many themes applied, and i was still able to get ota updates. So if you can do that on the s2, i would think you could it on a n2 too.

What does voiding Knox mean? Boot loader flag goes from 0x0 to 0x1
Notes about Knox:
FLASHING A: CUSTOM KERNEL or CUSTOM RECOVERY on MK3 boot loader VOIDS KNOX
CANNOT DOWNGRADE TO OLDER FIRMWARE!
Composed of an OS side and firmware (bootloader-side) implementation. Apps (OS components) can be removed, but the firmware components CANNOT.
You can still root on the new firmware...but you can't flash a custom recovery or custom kernel, or else you will trip Knox

I'm in the process of doing this right now lol. I was debating on going back to stock or just waiting till one of the many talented devs figured something out.

According to the great minds here, it has to be like stock, it's essentially like receiving the ota.

Then I have to download 834MB file size in order to flash 495MB file size
Is it any way to flash stock recovery and make unrooting by supersu itself?
If you already have a stock rom and recovery installed and you don't have an sd card handy, it's easy to update the zip using ADB sideload. Assuming you have used ADB before and know how to use it on your computer
Download the file and rename it something easy like "update.zip"
reboot the phone into recovery by pressing volume up, home, and power
select the option to update via ADB
plug in phone to computer with USB cable
on your computer open a terminal window and if you want to make sure the ADB connection works type "ADB devices" you should see some numbers listed followed by "sideload"
flash the file by typing "adb sideload update.zip" if you named it update.zip that is, then press enter
once it's done hit the power button to reboot
profit??
Ok I know this is a dumb question does it have to be on sd card or internal card for recovery to pick it up

if you are trying to flash it from the phone it needs to be on an external SD card.
I'm hearing rooting is not working after the update.

So, I know this is supposed to be the official update, and I flashed via adb, but KIES and SprintZone don't seem to understand that. The two screenshots show what I'm talking about. These should both say "current" or "Up to date"
Do u need to be unrooted or can I just reinstall my rooted stock ROM and do the update
rocking the 4.4

This is what Kies says for my phone. Samsung Kies doesn't know Sprint's update is available. Wait for the OTA.

I didn't use this download. I'm still on MD4. I'll wait awhile to see if anyone has issues with this dl since I'm not on Sprint. I'm using Ting for a provider.
