Received update notification today, and I'm not running a stock ROM...

I always thought if you were not running a stock rom, you would not get updates pushed.
I'm running Dilligaf. I'm pretty sure since I'm rooted and running a stock rom that the update will fail.
Not sure what to do. Any recommendations, besides just living with the notification?

It's a sense Rom so it will tell you . Do you want the update or no?

Thanks. I don't know if I want it or not, because I don't know what is in it.
If it's for sideloading only, I don't need it, because Dilligaf already allows that.

I gathered that. I just want the notication gone... Last time an update was pushed, i was running a stock rooted rom. ATTN released a new rom with the ota update integrated into it. Loading that rom eliminated the update message.
Looks like I'll have to wait for Dilligaf to put the update into his rom...

no, it will start to smoke and emit huge sparks that will get into your eyes,rendering your g2x useless to you,so i'll take it.
yes,it is working great. and as soon as i get some money in my account, i'm donating to xboarder56

Yes, but not with Superoneclick as it doesn't work with the update from LG. Assuming you have Clockwork Mod Recovery through NVflash, (great instructions http://www.techofweb.com/technology/flashing-cwm-recovery-g2x.html , simply flash a pre-rooted version of this update from xboarder54 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179748

1 click nvflash app to install clock work .
download rooted 2.33 rom or nandriod backup and flash
in clock work.
works fine..
now i have updated baseband on cm7 rom

trying to restore LG-P999-V10f/--i get--MD5 mismatch while trying to unroot. I already restored to a nandroid running 2.2 can I just run the LG update or must I unroot in order to update baseband? Will I be able to unroot if I update using LG (I have DW model). Help please.

Funny thing is I have been with Android since the G1. I have yet to root any of my android phones. I know, I'm a noob. I'm trying to learn how to root my G2x recently but want to make sure I find something solid so my phone will work 100% or close to that. Now that we have GB, I would assume the devs are updating their ROMs so I'm reading up to see what's the new or hot ROM for the G2x. If anyone can point me in the right direction or have some time to school this noob - I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

How to prepare nexus s for ice cream sandwich ota

Currently running miui with matrix kernel and I'm looking into flashing a stock gingerbread ROM to receive ics when it is released. I've flashed customs ROMs before but have never gone back to stock. How do I go about doing this? Will I need to reroot my phone? And will I be able to flash a kernel on the stock ROM? Thanks

I wouldn't worry about it. Someone kind will post it here in a zip file soon after release i would imagine!

If someone makes one, sure.

sorry for abusing you thread, mokflurry, but i also have a question regarding requirements for the upcoming ota-update.
i am running stock rom, rooted, with cwm and custom kernel.
regarding the recovery, i already read, that this shouldn't be a problem. can anybody confirm that?
and what about the kernel? will i have to return to complete stock for ota?
thanks in advance!

You can be rooted with another recovery, But need stock rom and kernel.

Until and unless you believe that you will be the first one to get the OTA, you need not worry about the OTA. It will be up on XDA as soon as OTA is rolled and you be flashing it even before the OTA is actually is pushed to you

[Q] 4.1.1 OTA

Will there be a specific date on when the 4,1,1 (OTA) fix will come in so you can use the AOSP ROMS? or will we just have to wait and see.
(I OTA updated before knowing of rooting, so don't tell me its a no no and stuff )

When kernel source is released

My guess is another two months at least on the kernel. No clue on if or when a fix will ever be released for the jb ota'ers sorry

I'm just guessing I know nothing about the new firmware and hboot from the jb ota. Another guess is once the flood of at&t ota people comes rushing in like a tsunami a solution may pop up shortly after.

From what I understand they have 90 days to release kernel source after releasing the kernel so we're looking at around 3 months. I'm in the same boat as you bud. Updated without realizing the downside and I much prefer aokp to sense. Until then I'm using viper 3.1.0 desensed with nova. I even went as far as to downgrade my hboot to see if I could flash aokp after with no difference.

Damn, I was just going to suggest that and see if it works i guess not. Couldn't we just downgrade to the ICS build by downgrading our hboot then flashing the 2.40 RUU?

Well actually nvm the 2.40 RUU isn't leaked yet i think so couldn't you downgrade to 1.09 and then Flash HK 2.42 RUU which is basically the same?

They DO NOT have 90 days. GPL clearly states it must be provided immediately when the accompanying software is available or before. HTC is in violation of the GPL. They are only allowed time to make it available for distribution. They think that this allows them to hold it back indefinitely while in reality it means time to upload and should always be available within 24 hours of the Rom being released to the public. This is not open to interpretation according to the GPL and any lawyer who has looked at it. Gpl-violations.org is a good place to file a complaint as well as HTC's legal department. This really needs some attention considering they routinely wipe their ass with a legally binding agreement that does not allow delaying kernel source at all.

Somewhat of a noob question, but I'm assuming AOKP ROMs also wouldn't work if I stupidly applied the 4.1.1 OTA update?

Yep only jb sense... And once kernel source is out it will be fixed so be assured and I thought they had 90 days? If they were in violation oh well but I could of sworn they had 90 days to do it either way until they become a dev friendlier community you have to wait at least 90 days for source

im just thinking of getting the nexus 4

So I applied this OTA update (flashed the stock recovery first), then re-flashed TWRP. Now, I can't for the life of me get the phone rooted again. I tried several different supersu apks, some older, some newer. SuperSU itself can't install, can't uninstall, can't update its binaries. Different supersu's allow SuperSU itself root access, but no other programs can be given root access (such as Titanium Backup).
Any ideas? I'm about to get rid of this phone, HTC is just making modding so painful. My fault I know for installing the OTA update, but still...

I installed the 4.1.1 update, so I have that kernel. Are there any kernels I can install that will function with the new update? I was under the impression I had to wait until HTC released their source before I could flash anything.

I have a nandroid backup of my stock ROM (4.0). Would installing that work, or has the 4.1.1 update messed that up too?

Too late, your phone has the new hboot. It probably won't work

ota updates you wont get with a custom kernel. you need to have everything(besides the root binaries) completely stock, no modifications at all.

actually deodexed might not receive an ota, since the odex files are "removed". but for that im unsure.

odexed version with stock recovery as well. but why do you need an ota? many times theres a custom rom or a stock aosp rom ready with the new code by the time the ota starts. maybe at lates a few days after there are rooted roms already out.

Hey,
Just one problem, after I installed the stock rom, some applications stopped to run, and when I connect it to the computer (With USB Debugging and MTP) it's just showing me a "Internal memory" and I cant copy anything...

Not sure where but I read that if anything under /system/app is modified it automatically disables Ota. If that's true that would mean you'd need an odexed ROM with no SuperSU and definitely stock kernel.

no you can get the OTA with SuperSu/Superuser.
the issue the missing odex files. the OTA performs a check and looks for those.
