It looks like we got our Christmas present a little early!
This is the rooted 8.6.5.21 rom. I just added su and Superuser. It does not overwrite recovery or the bootloader, so it should play nicely with razorclaw. Regardless, flash at your own risk. If in doubt, don't flash it.
This is the full rom, not the update. It is not deodexed, and it might even have carrier iq installed???!!! I only added root.

hehe Honeycomb.
Awesome, thanks.
How does the US version compare to the UK one?
Also do I have to somehow flash to a .19 stock then root to flash this? (I haven't got mine yet).
The US rom has 25% more Android! magic in it. There might be other differences as well.
The newer tablets will be locked, so you have to root through .19.

cwm required to flash ?
nevermind, it does
I have a question. Say I have a B60 that was rooted via apx. I can't update. If I were to flash this rom, will I lose all my apps, data, etc.?
Actually, anyone has a cwm flashable zip for this update?

This is the cwm flashable zip. It only flashes the system and boot, so data and recovery are untouched.
As far as not being able to update, I'm not sure what that means without more details.

It means how it sounds. I can't seem to OTA update while rooted. I rooted via apx. B60. The update process always ends up with an exclamation point next to an android, meaning it can't update.
Apologies for my ignorance.

Got it- you can't update via the OTA. This will flash through clockworkmod recovery (or any non-stock recovery) and you will have a stock .21 system as if you had upgraded via the OTA from a stock .19 rom. System apps will be updated, but data and recovery will be unchanged.
If you are getting an exclamation point, it sounds like you have the stock recovery. You would need to install clockworkmod or some other recovery first.
I hope that's clear. Lastly, this is the US version.

Try mounting your system partition, then flashing. It does take a few minutes and the progress bar will seem a bit slow or stuck.

I started with the OTA and then unzipped it. There is a blob and a bunch of patches. I unpacked the blob and made the boot.img/blob.LNX insecure, and repacked this into boot.img. then I took the patches and applied them to the stock system. This is the tricky part because I used a script to parse the updater-script to generate two scripts. The first one would identify and copy all the files that are scheduled to be patched. I then transfered all the files and the second script to my transformer. On the device, I ran the second script with applies that patch using the same binary that the recovery uses. The output from this all goes back to my computer where the patched files are re-united with the files that did not require a patch. Now, in the home stretch, I added Superuser.apk and the su binary. I adjusted the updater script to set permissions correctly for those two additions and added a little holiday cheer. Finally, I zipped up the whole thing and signed it.
The reason for doing it this way is that I can "apply" the ota to a copy of the system, rather than the system I have installed on my TF. It sounds complex and convoluted, but it really takes about 30 mins to an hour.

Please forgive my ignorance. I just want to be sure. Is the following right?
Boot into cwm. Mount system partition. Back out and flash rom.
Is that right?

After my thread for the TF101, here are my first repackaged OTA updates for the TF700:
First of all let me make this clear:
If you have root and want to keep it, use OTA Rootkeeper.
The original recovery is removed from the blob, so you won't lose your current recovery.
If after flashing one of these zips you still have the OTA update notification, do this:
Go to Settings -> Apps -> All and clear data from DMClient.
Current OTA 9.4.5.26:
US version:
us-9.4.5.22-to-9.4.5.26-TF700-CWM-v1.0.zip MD5: 2C6C763D0A7618E4AB4CB530D714F833
WW version:
ww-9.4.5.22-to-9.4.5.26-TF700-CWM-v1.0.zip MD5: E9597AD7C18483445A1F006D91A44C1B
IMPORTANT! If you deleted/changed some files, these updates will NOT work. These updates are meant for people on a stock rooted rom.
Sweet I know a few people were looking for a flashable OTA update.

AFAIK cwm zips are compatible with TWRP.
It's a generic name which is supported by most recoveries.

But it's a good news for those who can
Lizard, a better title would be "[ROM][FLASHABLE]" or something. People tend to get very confused when you say "CWM" because they think no other recovery can flash it .

I've changed the title to flashable, since I don't consider the update zips to be roms. I hope this will take away some of the confusion.

That sucks, I didn't flash .30, it came with it already installed. I'm used to flashing my phones, so it should be no problem flashing my tablet. Thank you very much for your help.
If you've flashed roms on other phones or tablets in the past then you should be fine. Just don't do anything crazy and you shouldn't brick it. I don't have NV Flash capabilities on mine, though I had the chance to but updated my bootloader anyway. Doesn't bother me as I'm not a dev and won't be doing anything crazy on mine. I've done plenty of flashing on many phones and the Asus Prime in the past, so I'm not worried about it

I am on 4.1.1, rooted inconia a700. Today I tried to let the system check for an update, but it refuses to do so.
I think it has to do with the unlocked bootloader. In order to get OTA, we have to relock.
The question is now, do we have to flash original (stock) recovery to flash OTA or will it work with clockwork recovery?
How do we proceed?

I'm not a Dev, I'm a Cook
The problem with OTA's, is that Acer has been delivering them as a "patch" update. Which means it's not a whole rom. It's set to patch existing files. This is a real pain, as each update is very specific about what it will work on. Typically it seems they use some type of binary check sum for each and every file. If even 1 of them is off, the update doesn't work. (just take a look at an installer script and you'll see what I mean)
The best bet, is to wait till we get a major update, then wait for one of us to do a system dump and compile it into a flashable custom rom.
A lot of people shy away from custom, but, it depends on how far the cook goes with modifying things. If it's just a re-pack, then it's pretty much stock.

Edit: Used flashalot's recovery switcher to flash stock recovery, rebooted, then flashed the ota update. After update I lost root, but still have s off.
Plan on fastboot flashing another recovery, then flashing su binary again from the new recovery.

This might help...
If you have the OTA.zip file... but custom recovery and such like TMUS application removed..
This will wipe your phone. Making a backup is not optional !!!
http://sadevil.org/blog/2012/12/23/manually-flashing-an-ota-update/
This looks somewhat straight forward.. If you want to get the OTA downloaded:
got to settings .. and manage to get the software update.. It will download eventually into your Download folder ..
Do not Apply the OTA at this point.. select install later!!!
pull the file on your PC/Mac/Linux box and modify as described in the URL above..
reboot your phone and the OTA should not bother you ... if you have pulled (like in remove) or at least renamed the OTA file..
Before you push Firmware.. and such make sure you have made a backup with CWM !!! or whatever method you are using!!!
also make sure you have your custom recovery image somewhere available and maybe a su.zip cwm file as you may loose root as well.. not sure..
If you have rooted your HTC one S your self - this should not be hard to DIY..
Currently I am at work and cannot try it out myself .. but definitly will do it once back at home later..
Godspeed to all of you brave hackers..

Edit: Used flashalot's recovery switcher to flash stock recovery, rebooted, then flashed the ota update. After update I lost root, but still have s off.
Plan on fastboot flashing another recovery, then flashing su binary again from the new recovery.
Hope this helps.

Same situation here. Stock ROM and Rooted and S-off. Constant nag to apply the OTA update but not working. Looking for a way to do it easy. How should I proceed? Don't want to wipe the phone and create all my settings again if possible. Can I reverse S-Off and apply OTA update somehow?
can any one provide me a link to the ota update
Hi all,
I have searched the web, but haven't found an exact answer to my question.
I have a Nexus 5, currently on 4.4.2 (KOT49H). I am unlocked, rooted + Xposed and have TWRP. I want to update to 4.4.4 preferably OTA, officially. I would like to be able to use OTA updates from now on if possible.
Currently, if I disable Xposed, and use Suvival Mode in SuperSU and try to install the OTA update, TWRP intervenes and doesn't let me.
I would like to replace TWRP with the stock recovery so I can update OTA in the future. I don't want to wipe the phone to achieve this if possible. If this isn't possible, could someone step through how to update to 4.4.4 with TWRP installed — I'm on a mac also.
Flash the stock recovery image in fastboot

Where can I find the stock recovery? Is that this: *w*w*w*.developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

Yes, extract the image and then the zip file

OTA is the least compatible and hardest way to update. Why do you want to use this method? It's the worst option available to you.

Because it would seem easier for me—AFAIK. Although this didn't work, this workflow sounds appealing to me every time an update comes out:
- Disable Xposed
- Enable Survival Mode in SuperSU
- Install OTA update
- Re-enable Xposed, done.
No USB, no computer, no terminal.
Is there another way to achieve this?

Running a rooting rom without a custom recovery is dangerous IMHO.
Without having to lose custom recovery
1) Download latest rooted stock ROM
2) Flash
3) Enable Xposed

Yes, whenever there is a new stock ROM, someone makes a rooted stock flashable zip of it. Also if you make any small changes to system, sometimes like adblocking, OTA will fail but flashable zip of rom will just override all that bs.
latest 4.4.4 rooted stock rom is in a thread which you can find i the resources section of the sticky-roll-up thread. You can get there via my signature.
That way, you can take a nandroid backup so if anything goes wrong after the update, you can do a full restore, where as with OTA you will not be able to with stock recovery.

No problem.
I just think that way is easier....I wouldn't want you putting extra work in, if you dont have to. It also gives you more freedom to work with mods in the future too, or kernels etc

Yep it's all good. For some reason, I had this little fear of the fact it's an official stock rom, that's been "toyed" with. But of course that makes no sense really, considering I'm willing to install many third party apps and processes that could easily alter/mess my phone up.
Do the rooted stock roms get released fairly rapidly after the official one is released?

Yeah. as soon as the factory image is released. Maybe a day or two. Which is before 99% of people even receive the OTA notification

Perfect, thanks for clearing things up for me.
Just checking, I'll make a backup before I flash, but technically, will all my data still be there if all goes to plan?

Yep. the /data partition is not touched. Just /system and /boot (ROM and Kernel)
