ROM update - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

I recently did root my HTC desire and installed leedroid V 2.3b.
Everything went well and is working OK.
But I do receive system software updates, do I need to install these, if yes what is the best way to do whit out installing everything again, or is the best way to wait for a upgrade of a new version of Leedroid.
A other question when I do a ROM update whit rom managar, do you have to install everything again.
Thanks in advance for your help.

never install an ota system update, it will reflash your phone to stock and very very difficult to root again, go to settings>about phone> and uncheck the update option and wait for Lee to update his rom..!
you can try titanium backup to restore all your apps if you decide to flash another rom... but it doesn't always work so well..

[Q] Nexus S 2.3.4 upgrade problem

Hello,
I have a Nexus S phone with Honity15 kernel, and rock solid at 1500. With stock ROM.
But now I have tried to install the update to 2.3.4 and I have had a update check error.
I think that the reason is that the installer detects a modification in the stock Android installation. Is this true?
Can I download the sotck kernel again from anywhere?
I have a nand backup but, if I restore I will loose all the change that I have done it.
Thx for all.
Nobody knows is I can install the stock 2.3.3 kernel in the nexus s without restore the full nand backup?
Thank you
no i dear my friend

[Q] I need some answers about Nexus S

So I bought Nexus S from second hand recently mostly because it will get official ICS support from Google.
So because it's second hand buy, I really don't know if I'm using original bootloader, kernel, radio etc.
It's rooted (because I have Superuser app), I think it has stock 2.3.6 android (build number GRK39F) and kernel version 2.6.35.7-gf5f63ef, [email protected]#1.
Can someone who use stock android and original kernels confrime to me that this is right version?
I really want to update to ICS using incremental update which I found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445635) but I'm affraid to don't screw something because of bad experience when I radio bricked my desire
Can I update it to ICS or I need to do unroot or something?
Just download the correct stock ICS rom for your device (if it is I9020T or I9023) ,put it on the SD root and then flash it using the stock or CWM recovery and be done with it (if you need the ICS)
most likely you won't be update by OTA because you are rooted (system file verification will fail)
just download stock ICS ROM and flash it ...
Ota will install fine if its a stock rom with just root. The update script basically checks that everything that should be there is there . If there is something else in there like su it don't matter.
flashing a new rom is the best way to go if you have cwm installed already
I succesfuly flashed ICS and first impressions are very good.
But I think I lost recovery...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
flash a CWM recovery via adb , or there is TWRP recovery in DEV section , which is very good .

revert back to stock to update to ICS

Hi , few months ago i rooted my phone ( did not install any custom rom) only the clockwork recovery mod (somethin like that) i think , so now i wanna go back to stock so i can install ICS, i download my RUU and a pg58IMG.zip file(what is that for) , so the problem is that my phone is connected in charging mod to my pc , and debugging is on , but adb devices cant read it , what should i do ?
Please any additional info would be appreciated , thank you alot
as far as i know, if you want to install stock htc ics, you just download the original RUU, run setup and plug in your phone, you don't need clockwork recovery or anything else like that, just follow the steps from the HTC RUU setup...
If you have received the FOTA updated just changed the recovery to stock HTC Recovery. And flash or run the OTA update. I use this guide to get back to stock HTC Recovery it may also help you [GUIDE] Get Stock Recovery/Install OTA Updates without losing data.

Update from 4.4.2 to .4.4.3

If this was already answered in another thread please link me.
So, i have a Moto G Dual-SIM Retail on 4.4.2 and i've been noticing some minor bugs, but i think the OTA updates would be able to solve it for me. But on the other hand, my device is rooted and i have quite a lot of things (XPosed Modules and etc) on it, as well as a custom recovery (I think it is CWM). How do i update, only gotta restore stock recovery and update normally via OTA? No need to reset anything? Root will remain along with my Xposed Modules?
Thanks in advance.
You need stock recovery (some have reported that philz recovery also works) and stock kernel with stock modules. Root remains. You just need to reinstall xposed framework from installer. Modules remain.
Quick way is flash 4.4.3 vesion for Bazil utmsds ( for dual sim).

Where can i get the stock recovery and how to flash it? Currently using PhilZ but it doesn't let me do the OTA update.
And there's a thread on this section that shows how to restore stock firmware, but i'm already running it and would not wan't to wipe out the phone or anything just to update.
Thanks anyway guys!
PS: Now that i tried this without success, phone goes on rebooting to Philz Recovery after a while in attempt to update (and fails everytime of course)
EDIT again: Done it by getting recovery.img from stock firmware and flashing via fastboot (Android SDK), but now getting error while phone tries to update and when it boots get "update unsuccessful" warning.
Because u use Xposed and some module. Best way u should use Titanium Backup, backup all you apps,after that,use Root Explore ,copy whole sdcard to yr PC, flash stock 4.4.3,root and copy back all detail to sdcard, use Titan backup all apps lost and all data. Done. If not ,u still have to unroot,uninstall Xposed with all module, i mean must do yr phone like stock rom,and update it.

[Q] HTC one Mini rooted need to get back to stock CID ROGER001

Hi,
I am new to android and have rooted and have custom TWRP recovery installed 2.8.0.1. Phone works fine then after some time (couple days) if i restart its goes into boot loop, which can be stopped by a factory reset from tarp recovery (tried just clearing the cache and Davlik cache didn't work.
Would like to either upgrade to a new rom or go back to stock and use an OTA.
Cant seem to find the correct build has to have the 631 in it, i assume from my research.
**EDIT**
Solved the boot loop issue by flashing an updated version of supersu and installing.
Still am looking for stock recovery so i can do OTA for the newest updates, no luck so far.
If anyone knows where I can find a stock recovery or anyway to get back to stock for this phone with these specs let me know thanks!
