I tried to install ICS on my Nexus S and I got as far as unlooking the bootloader. For some reason CWM will not install. Now I just want to lock the thing back so I can get the offical update. Can someone help please?
how did you unlock ? then just do it backwards
I used a tutorial. One click root v3.0 from qbking77 on youtube.
They do not have one step nexus s unroot just the 4g one.
I had the same problem with CWM recovery in (NS 4G that is) but this post helped me
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19531979&postcount=30
just rename the file "install-recovery.sh" which is in the /etc folder. You can only access it with a root file manager (rootexplorer $4 on the market)
make sure your new file is not ending with .sh
When is the ICS OTA coming to NS4G? I doubt anytime soon when Nexus Galaxy is not even out yet.
It says my phone my phone is my phone does not appear to be rooted. Can I get regular OTA without the bootloader being locked?
So....does anyone know?
bro , full pakage ROM only few days later after OTA , so why don't you just directly flash ROM instead of OTA ? just few days , and now you are sucking with this problem
O.O
OK, Well I am new to all this. How would I flash once it comes out?

I just bought an unlocked 9023 nexus s for my sister in India. I am a flash-junkie on my verizon droid inc, but she is not tech savvy. I wanted to load up a good stable system for her before handing over the phone so she could use it as a daily machine. I was thinking about applying the stock 4.0.3 full update but then i saw some issues about wifi and signal and google halting it, so now im having second thoughts. if i do the 4.0.3 full update from recovery, can i go back to gb if i have problems?
will the phone keep getting all future ics upgrades through google?
is 4.0.3 stock rootable? and will root stay in upgrades? (so if i root and give her, Id like her to use titanium and stuff and not have to worry about losing root in future OTA.)
Thanks.
How about reading the stickies.

Nexus devices can always have their bootloaders unlocked and then install superuser afterward. When unlocking the bootloader all of her data will be lost.
Root is disable on OTA updates because permissions get adjusted. You can run a fix permissions in CWM or reflash a superuser zip file after the OTA to get root again.
You can go back to GB by flashing an old system image using fastboot if you don't like ICS.

thanks.
exactly what i needed to know. i might just put ics and give it to her without root so she can keep getting OTAs because i dont think she really needs root.
Ok, im new to everything android and everything nexus (im glad i left the IOS) anyways.
I have GSM model Galaxy nexus on ICS 4.0.1 and i rooted it the day i got it using the method from this link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310
I used the 1 click for everything option in the MS-DOS screen.
So my question.
If i want to update to ICS 4.0.3 (which i do) should i re-lock the boot loader/un-root or should i just wait for a pre-rooted update file.
one more question.
Should i need to un-root re-lock my GN in-case i want to bring it back i've been researching and the most popular ones seem to include extracting a series of files to the same folder where fastboot.exe and adb files are located (maybe someone here already knows what i'm talking about). Thing is i don't know where these actual folders are located nor do i know where the fastboot.exe file is located. HELP

Yes, you should unroot your phone and keep it that way. All it would take is 5 minutes of research to find what you need. That is the problem with this 1 click bull****. It allows people who have no knowledge of their phone, adb or fastboot to root and unlock bootloaders when they probably shouldn't be doing so.
You can leave it rooted if u want but if u have a custom recover for example clockwork mod installed it will brick your phone so on anyphone always flash ur recovery to stock before accepting an official update.

i dont really have much on it yet so erasing everything is not much of a bother. However i did install clockwork and when i tried back-up it said that the phone first needs to be rooted then it told me i dont have a superboot file =(
Weird.

hello all i have the old 4.1 bootloader still on my tf300t. i have been hesitant to update to new bootloader. as i had no issues with cm10.1. well now as of the past month seems cm10.1 update to new bootloader. plus i see another update is out. i wanna get this thing up to date as far as root goes. but i dont see a definitive sticky on how to do this. can anyone point me in to one thread with all the info i seek.
Sup, kaos?
I think that the best solution would be to download the official release, unzip once, then flash in recovery. You then need to root it again, or use Voodoo Rootkeeper to get SU access.
Of course, you must be careful when searching for the correct recovery. I bricked my tab that way, but managed to restore it through another thread.

ya im hating that cm kinda forced us to update i guess ill have to collect info and get around to it. its a shame .
I'm currently on NI1, and I just had a update notice. It's about 392mb in size. Didn't see anything about any updates so figured I'd post.
Did you take the update? Did it install? If so what is the firmware listed as?
Since it is 392mb I would assume it is an update, rather than a full version increment? Probably still 4.4.2 Let is know
It's almost done downloading now at 81%. I'll post back with a version once installed.
Are you rooted right now? If so it may not install, or try and fail. If you are rooted immediately after it finishes downloading you can copy the update file to your sdcard/external sdcard and upload it to a file sharing site. If it is in fact a newer version of firmware you could make devs happy. If you need to know how/where the update is located I can help you out
BEFORE IT INSTALLS open up a file browser (if rooted possibly) and navigate to \cache\fota\2400258.cfg. Should be the name or something similar. Long press on it and choose copy. Then navigate to you sdcard and paste it where you can find it. Then upload it to a sharing site.
Not rooted on this S4. The update went through and it was updated to NJ1 4.4.4

Thanks, hopefully SOMEONE will pull it soon.
Yeah. Been having random issues with my phone since the previous. All seems to be good now. The update does add a few new programa. Nothing worth using except maybe keeper. But so far so good.
Phones definitely a lot snappier now.!
I would love to see a screenshot of the about to confirm.
There you go.
Update failed on my rooted device
I just tried it, It failed to update and I lost root.
Here is a screen of the few apps it put on once completed. It also added a kids mode app.
If ANYBODY is rooted it most likely WILL FAIL. It is only 300+ MB sobitbis not a complete ROM and most like just has mostly PATCH files inside. I would recommend users that are rooted WAIT until a dev can do something with it, and check it out. Each update has locked our phones down harder.
On that note if ANYONE is rooted and downloads it, do NOT install it. But go to the location I listed above to pull the file from the phone and upload it to a sharing site. Then a dev can look into it first and incorporate it for our rooted phones WITHOUT updating the bootloader
After looking around the forums it looks like Samsung has pushed a few updates to phones ( S4 getting 4.4.4, S3 4.4.2 patch files, and the Note has gotten an update as well). I think these updates are probably going to be the final updates before they phase out old devices and possibly start porting 5.0 on our device (S4). I really wish there wasn't new At&t bloat, but hopefully these are new services that phase out all the old outdated bloat At&t had in the past :good: also to each his own I just never use those apps.
Thanks for posting this, I would've enjoyed this if I hadn't already flashed Goldenfinger and nandroided all my apps over... to lazy to use Safestrap again.
DON'T INSTALL IF YOU'RE ROOTED!
Nice. Wasn't doubting the OP. I see att has updated their support page to reflect the NJ4 update.

If no one else does, I will try when I get to work tomorrow. We have numerous S4's that people traded in for the S5. I can see if I am able to root one and do the update using your instructions. If not I can check to see if onw of our Kiosks can allow me to pull the update. Not sure if they have that one yet for self updating. Will let you know in the AM.

Wish I had read this before. I am rooted so it said install interrupted after download. So do I have to unroot and return to stock? I am on NI1 4.4.2. Maybe you or someone can get copy for us to install it by. Let us know what to do if rooted to get the OTA. Thanks
Downloading now. I'll post when done. Rolled back to NB1 before updating so this is a 489MB download.

Guess I will roll back to NB1 also Friday. Got NB1 downloading now. Do I need to wipe or Anything before I flash file in Odin 3.09????
HI was downloading the new update 5.0 but it stopped and now the tablet says me "your system is updated" but with the 6.0.1.I can't restart the download now,what i have to do???
Same thing happened to me. Don't know why yet.
Same here. Where are you from?
Nvidia might have pulled it to fix something wait patiently it will come.
I had a similar problem as well. I got the notification to download the update, and when I clicked on the "Download" button in the notification, it did nothing. When I went into my settings and opened the OTA updater, it kept telling me that "Your system is up to date," even after repeatedly pressing the "Check Now" button, selecting "Clear data," rebooting, and messing with the advanced settings. I hope they fix this soon, I was really excited about this update!
Exact same issue here.
If you haven't root/twrp etc:
Download from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tablet/general/5-0-update-nougat-incoming-t3553612/page2 (there are two version - k1 & standard).
Paste it to internal memory, boot into recovery and apply update from zip.
Just wait a little. That's what NVIDIA calls "staggered rollout".
Just wanted to update and say that I got my OTA this morning and will apply it later this afternoon. Guess, just as suggested earlier, they staggered them. It's strange though that they actually pulled it back, but then again it might have been an issue with it.
if you have "nougat launcher apk" just delete it.
Been a while since I rooted mine and I'd prefer not to lose root. Anyone know if there's going to be a pre-rooted version available that won't require going through the whole process again? Honestly I don't recall if it was difficult or not but I know for previous phones I've had there was a rooted version of the OTA that someone would post within a day or two of the release. Made the whole update process quicker and easier.
Also, for those who have updated, how is the performance compared to Marshmallow?
My 2 cents: if the root is confirmed to work, there is no "process" per se.
D/L the root zip to the tablet, boot into recovery, flash that zip and reboot into system.
Should be within 2-3 min the whole thing.

Performance feels good so far. Don't know if there will be a pre-rooted version, but it's fairly simple and fast to root since your bootloader is unlocked and you'll get to keep all your data. If you want custom recovery I had to use the TWRP app after root to flash the recovery. Couldn't get it to stick using fastboot. There's a good rooting guide here:

Thanks for the info and the guide link. If I'm rooted can I let the update to nougat proceed and then just follow the procedure in the link? Thought I read somewhere that I need to unroot it first.

Yes you can just apply the update and there's no need to flash stock first. If you want to flash TWRP I would recommend getting root first by sideloading (like in the guide) and then using the TWRP app to flash TWRP.
I'm now rooted again with TWRP as custom recovery.
