I rooted the device when I bought it around June. I was successfully to root it. I installed leaked Gingerbread 2.34. The firmware looked like to unroot my device. How can I do it now? Please help
You can use Revolutionary to re-install ClockworkMod Recovery, then flash the Superuser zip file in the recovery.

Ok.. I bought my Nexus S with 2.3.1 installed. I rooted it shortly after deciding I would keep the phone for awhile. According to all the guides I looked through, Clockwork Recovery won't stick unless that one file is renamed..
Well, come to find out, when I tried accepting the OTA update for 2.3.4, I somehow lost stock recovery and have Clockwork still installed. I've been running the stock software, stock kernel, with the bootloader unlocked and superuser installed. I never renamed the file in order to keep my stock recovery, just in case, but somehow still lost it.
I want to update my phone from 2.3.1 to 2.3.4 but I don't want to lose my app data and whatnot so I want to know if it is possible to install the OTA updates via Clockwork.. I managed to find the zip file for the update that will bring my phone from 2.3.1 to 2.3.3 and then the zip file for 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 from Google.
I don't want to flash a ROM, just looking to keep everything mostly stock but with root. I've searched for an answer but must be looking up the wrong terms, as I can't seem to find any info on doing this under the circumstances
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!!

Yes, you can install the OTA with CWM.
Why don't you just install a stock, rooted rom.
It is just the stock rom, rooted and packed in zip ready to be flashed in clockwork rec.

Don't really feel like setting up my phone again and losing my app data.. I didn't mind too much with my G1, but I've got so much junk on my NS that I don't want to lose. Just want to update like normal..
i guess you have two options update:
1 - you could flash original ota from cwm, but you will lose the root and cwm recovery, then you will need to root again, but to root in 2.3.4, you will need to unlock booloader, and that gonna make you lose everything...
2 - you also could try to flash stock, deodexed and rooted zip, but i really don't know if it gonna work (although i don't see why it wouldn't)...

My bootloader has been unlocked, flashing the ota doesn't lock it back up does it? I always thought I only lost root access, but not lock up the bootloader

well, if your bootloader is unlocked you don't have any problem at all! =o)
since you said that you rooted in 2.3.1, i thought you followed the guide to make it without unlocking bootloder.
with unlocked bootloader, that's what i would do:
- reboot in recovery (cwm recovery)
- nandroid backup
- wipe cache / dalvik-cache
- flash official zip OTA for your specific model. you can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056062
- boot and see if everything is okay
after that, you will lose root and cwm recovery! now you have to root just like you had done before (flashing cwm from bootload and applying su file).
hope it can helps!
Is there a way to root the last stock update?
i have the build HTJ85B.WW_epad-8.6.5.7-20110730
I had a thought about that.
If someone released a recovery.img for Clockworkmod, then you could install it without root, using NVFlash.
Then you can install SuperUser or a pre-rooted ROM of your choice using CWM.
Unless I'm missing something...
Dear friends,
I just rooted and installed the cw recovery in my newly bought ASUS TF. The current version is 8.4.4.11, 3.1. Then how can I update my machine to V8.6.5.9, 3.2 without wipe?
Thank you very much!
Depending on which rooting method you used, if you read the root thread, it will advise you to update to the latest firmware for your model before rooting. You won't be able to update to the latest firmware after rooting and installing cwm recovery because the update will fail. You will need to return back to full unrooted stock with no cwm recovery, then update to the latest firmware, then reroot. PM me for instructions on how to return to stock.

I have seen this a few times, you do not have to return to stock to update your firmware. A couple of nice people have made the update compatible with CWM and you just have to put the zip on your SD card and install it from CWM. Here's the links to go to .9 and .13 Cheers.

After looking at what firmware you are at, I'm not sure if there are zip updates that go back that far, but you can certainly search to see...Cheers.

Install a new custom rom
Is it possible to run stock rom with S-OFF, rooted device and CWR (with OTA available)?

Yes you can run stock rom with s-off and root access however I am not sure if OTA updates will still work. Even if they did work I would imagine you would lose root access once the OTA update has been applied.
So when I flash stock ruu.exe nothing happens with S-OFF neither root?
You will need the stock recovery to get OTA updates to install, they won't work with CWM
and with stock recovery I'll be able to create backups of installed roms? And how do I reinstall stock recovery?
thx
You can't backup with the stock recovery, no
Got it, thx.
And how do I install stock recovery?
Get it from an RUU, then flash it using fastboot commands
Android Recovery Manager
There is a much easier solution: Android Recovery Manager
So my cricket htc one sv was just purchased it has a custom rom/ recovery cwm but no root access, is there a program to revert everything to stock. cant do ota update it pulls into custom recovery. there is no backup on it. I want stock recovery/rom unrooted.

Stock ICS Rom for cricket you will find here.
Download the OTA, unzip the firmware.zip inside, and unzip from firmware.zip the recovery inside. This you can flash with fastboot and OTA should work with it.
Otherwise you will find stock JB rom/backup for cricket here.
