How to accept an OTA while stock rooted

http://forum.xda-developers.com – With all this OTA talk, I've been getting many questions about accepting and OTA while stock rooted. IF you are stock rooted, you can't get an OTA update because you most likely have a custom recovery installed (Clockworkmod). To accept this OTA, you will need to install the STOCK recovery. Please see this video to flash the stock recovery: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KeZx65twLk The video linked above also shows how to manually update your phone with the appropriate update zip file. Once you have accepted the OTA update while stock rooted with stock recovery, you will most (HowTos)

Trying to go back to stock 12 weeks 5 days ago

I was rooted but decided to go back to stock. So I followed this video:

And I am now on 4.1.1. I assume I am not rooted (I don't see super user) and my bootloader is locked. I assume I have stock recovery, not sure how to check to see what I have.

Hi,

I have a P3113.

I want to be able to receive the OTA updates from Samsung, but their OTA update process invokes a reboot into their stock recovery to complete the update.

Can't update to 4.2.1 12 weeks 5 days ago

I was rooted, but wanted to go back to stock. So I followed QBKing77's video here:

How to Unroot/Unbrick the Samsung Galaxy Nexus - Latest - YouTube

That got me back to 4.1.1. My bootloader is now locked and I am not rooted (I don't see super user). Also, I assume I have stock recovery. Not sure how to check.

Problem with recovery 4 weeks 4 days ago

This weird problem started when I was trying to install PureX Audio Mod. I have stock .434 rooted and locked bootloader. I have installed the CWM for locked bootloaders and it was working flwalessly. I also disabled flashing stock recovery on reboot and was working with the device.

Support Stock Recovery!? 34 weeks 2 days ago

Does anyone have or know where I can download the stock recovery image for the galaxy nexus GSM model?

I just got this in the mail and greedily unlocked, flashed clockwork and rooted the phone before I found out that the 4.1 update is available and fails with a custom recovery. :mad:

So I went back to stock rom after trying several rom and I got a update notification so I just downloaded it and then I check with Samsung Kies and I have the latest stock rom.

Now I lost root access so I rooted my phone again and flashed clock work recovery using Odin took out the battery before first reboot so it doesn't overwrite it and reboot directly to clock work recovery!

The recent update to ROM Manager has now caused my rooted stock SIII to not be able to boot into Recovery (from ROM Manager). It just hangs. What is the procedure to manually boot to recovery on a rooted stock SIII?

OK, for now I managed to restore an older version of ROM Manager with TIBU, and am rebooting into Recovery now.

I rooted my phone by odin method . Flashing clockwork mod recovery over stock recovery . And somehow I was able to install Superuser. But now when I try to reboot in recovery it takes me to stock recovery mode not custom recovery. I tried both recovery and they work for a while and after some time they dont. Why is this happening ? Su is working fine and I m on UVLH2 .

I am new to rooting and android in general, I had previously rooted with the no-trip method in the dev section, and used OTA RootKeeper to install the AT&T update as was instructed on a different thread because the update manager was constantly running and I was seeing a pretty big battery hit, after the OTA I am still rooted, and I have tried installing CWM recovery using both ROM manager fro
