((((((......HOW TO TAKE AN OTA UPDAte. If your rooted/runing custom rom ))))))...... - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Things seem to have changed a bit. With the new update. Before we were able to take an ota update, even rooted on a custom rom. As long as we had stock recovery, and all bloatware intact. While this is still true to a certin extent. There has been a slight change. You can apparantly not take the ota, if you are on the kk1 baseband. So if you would like to take the ota you have a few options.
First if you are on kj2 baseband. Flash any 2.3.5 rom( just to be safe ) . With the bloat intact and odin the stock rocovery. Found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19760508 ( or restore a nandroid backup of a bloat intact 2.3.5 rom then odin the stock recovery).
if you are on kk1 baseband. Flash any 2.3.5 rom with bloat intact. Then flash the kj2 baseband
Found here

Then flash stock recovery. From the link above.
Just using odin to flash the stock tar. Will not change your baseband. So basically for some reason. Those with kk1 baseband cant take the ota. BOTTOM LINE IS , YOU NEED TO BE ON KJ2 BASEBAND. WITH ALL BLOATWARE , STOCK RECOVERY, AND CIQ.

Silver03wrx... do you know if we have a stock 2.3.5 KJ2 rooted zip like your stock 2.3.6 rooted zip? I already flashed stock 3e recovery and the KJ2 radio... but the new OTA didn't work as I still have the stock 2.3.6 zip installed. Thx

The update was pulled. Probably due to issues installing on phones which already had UCKK1 / 2.3.6. I noticed this just as I got done reverting mine back to 2.3.5... lol. damn the luck!

[Q] should I update my DCharge OTA?

I've just received a message about system update for my Dcharge, currently it is rooted running on
Basedbad Version: i510.06 V.ED1, SCH-I510.ED1
Buid Numberr: SCH-I510.ED2
Is it safe to run OTA update or do I have to follow the following thread:
[How To] Install Rooted EE4 Update to do the update. I would hate to reinstall all my apps (yes I could use Titan Backup) but would prefer to update without wipe if possible. TIA.
You shouldn't have to wipe data. Just make sure voodoo is disabled and you have stock recovery. You will have to odin rooted kernel once you update if you want to remain rooted.

So I should click on update OTA and then re-install the kernel? My is currently rooted as stated above and I would like to remain rooted.

As long as you meet the two requirements I stated above. You can accept the update. Then flash your rooted kernel again

How does one acquire and flash the stock recovery? Can you link to it?

Right now the only way is to flash the stock rom/kernel, as no one has released the recovery.tar for odin. You can get it by odin ed1 or any other stock pkg.
If you haven't updated to ee4 then just odin ed1 rooted pkg and upgrade from there.
If you are on ee4 there is a set of odin pkgs here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116867 the first one has stock kernel and recovery.
Not many of us would have stock recovery on a rooted phone since that will defeated the purpose of rooting. Looks like I have to go back to stock ed1 and get the OTA to get ed4 then rooted kernel. Not sure if any major benefits to go to ed4 other than the mobile hotspot fixed that it has.
Forgot one other question, my baseband is ed1 but my built is ed2, I am assuming that I still am on ed1 correct? TIA.

[Q] Rooting Stock Leak 2.3.6 UCLB3

Anyone know how to Root the new Gingerbread 2.3.6 stock leak that was posted? I am talking about UCLB3. I went to "Settings"- "Privacy" - "Factory data reset and was prepared to start over at Froyo. When the phone finished booting up my factory setting is now 2.3.6 UCLB3. I am not a noob but not real experienced either. I spent hours last night trying to root the phone. I want to put the rooted version from Dman on - I couldn't even use ODIN and Heimdall or GTG's unbrick versions to take me backwards. I am on 2.3.6 no matter what I do. Anyone care to help?
is ODIN not recognizing the phone or whats the situation ? Heimdall is for flashing stock 2.3.6 or cwm for froyo.
There is no way to root the new leak... you can flash a rooted kernel, then flash the stock kernel back and you'll retain root

Thanks for your comment. I saw something about that in the UCKK3 stock rom post, I think. That`s an effective way to root the 2.3.6 leak/stock?
Is that the way to do it? odin>flash pda only with auto-reboot and f.reset time>flash again the stock kernel (pda only). Is this right?
Any way to install CWM kernel in between? I'll be very pleased with a right answer, thanks!!!
Rooting stock 2.3.6
Thanks to you guys who helped with my issue. I got the phone to recognize download mode and flashed a CWM Kernel and then the stock one and kept root. (Thanks DMan) Since I was busy I didn't get this done until Friday and then the Collective comes out with Revelation which after reading the posts I immediately flashed. Prior to Revelation my favorite ROM had been Caty 3.0 but I think Dman and the Collective have put out my new favorite now.

[Q]Stock Recovery for ICS

Does anyone know if flashing the stock recovery here will work to get OTA updates with the ICS leak? or do I need to get the recovery image that was packaged with the leak? I would really like to put the stock recovery image back on my phone so I can get the OTA updates.
Just reflash ics and don't flash cwm or superuser and you will be stock and should get ota's.
That is if I am understanding your question and issue
That is correct, but I would like to keep it rooted and put the stock recovery back on.

If you stay rooted you won't get ota's

I tried flashing stock recovery after installing ICS leak and I got an error in Odin and fail. On reboot I got the connect to keis screen (forget the exact wording) I ended up flashing k0nanes stock. tar to get back up and running. For some reason it didn't like the solo stock recovery flash, but it flashed stock recovery with k0nanes .tar

This leak isn't official. There may be problems with an update if you do get one OTA. Be careful!! Personally I will wait for an update to come out, flash stock and grab it. I wouldn't do it with CWM or even rooted though being rooted didn't matter for 2.3.6.

Uninstall CWM

How can I unistall cwm that I flashed with the odin leak? I want to go back to gb quik wiz but att trys to update my radio when i do so it reboots and goes to cwm every time
that makes no sense. u shouldn't be getting ota's with quik wiz unless ur manually checkng for them. The kernl is also dag's, a non stock one. As for recovery, u can reflash the stock one through odin, same way u did cwm. I recommend flashing to ucla3 modem to ur phone, as well as the faux 010m kernel efore doing anything else though, and seeing if that fixes it
Just flash stock recovery if you want to go back
This thread has it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1383464
Good luck
I am booting to CWM after update also and then nothing happen and tell me update failed.
The only way to fix it is to install Samobile tar. The one in the development stock by konane is not 100% stock. The OTA update won't work unless samobile tar is flashed.

[Q] Install official update when rooted?

I downloaded the update from the system update button in settings. And it downloaded the update but I didn't install it yet. Is it okay to install it even though I am rooted? I just don't want to brick my phone

I tried to install and it failed. I am rooted.

As far as I know, you have to unroot to install the update.
There are also a couple other threads on this exact issue, in which myself and others have already explained how to accomplish this.
The key to successfully take/install ATT OTA updates is to be on stock rom (all bloatware intact and unfrozen), stock kernel, stock modem, and most importantly... stock recovery (3e). For me, didnt matter if I was rooted.
