ROM update

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] From MIUI to Official ICS?

I currently have a 19020T Nexus S running MIUI running build number MIUI-109020 on GB 2.3.5. How exactly do I get to the official ICS from Google?
I read somewhere that you need to flash to stock GB and then flash the official ICS ROM. How do I flash back to stock from MIUI? Sorry If this is kind of a noob question :\
I check on ROM manager and I have a backup of stock GB from 3 months ago. Should I restore to that?

you can directly upgrade to ice cream sandwich by flashing the full 4.0.3 rom package from recovery mode don't forget to wipe data and cache partitions to avoid issues

Can I flash it from ROM manager?

You can but it is generally better to do it all via recovery manually. Its not hard at all.

Updating your custom rom?

hey
I'd like to know whether it is possible to update your custom rom: for example I have Nextgen 2.1 and want to update to 2.2 but when I flash it everything is deleted. Is there an option to only update it and not flashing it?

[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 .

[Q] Nexus s i 9023 2.3.3 status 7 and OTA 2.3.6 installerror

I was running nexus s 4.0.3 on my phone i downloaded the kernel to overclock my nexus s but the kernel was of nexus s gingerbread i suppose
So my phone hanged and didnt boot up ....at that time i forgot to make bacup of my current rom so i ve downloaded a older ics(not official pre realse one) i flashed with it and it started everything worket except wifi and the problem of status 7 has begun i couldnt fix it so i went to samsung guys and they installed the 2.3.3 on my phone ... and now the main problem start
My nexus s is not able to accept any kind of update say it as a system update of i9023 2.3.6 or custom rom with status 7 error . I googled it a lot they say its a problem with the signature it download a proper signed file still it doesn't help it installs but not working properly even after doing wipe cache , dalvik cache so i googled more it says make no changes in phone and return it with stock system apps i did it again same problem while system update (screen hangs with android exclamatiory sign in a triangle) i then downloaded a stock rom of 2.3.3 for nexus s i9023 while installing it with the clockworld mod recovery 5.0.2(latest as far as i know) it starts install then says status 7 error.
To overclock my phone i have installed netarchy kernel for overclocking to 1.4 ghz....is it because of my kernel changed i am not able to install andy custom rom or system ota update from google
And theres one more thing i have changed the bootloader version accidently thinking it may work to i9020xxka3 i think which is the same for i 9023 and my baseband version is i9020xxkb3.
I have tried to install many signed versions of rom for my phone including 2.3.3 ,2.3.6 and ics 4.0.3 all stock downloaded from different websites but still not able to install any rom through clockworld mod recovery and any of the system update .
