EE4 Being Pushed to Phone =Safe?

I am running the rollback Odin root to ED1 / edited build.prop .... EE4 system update is sitting here wanting to be installed. Anyone know if it is gonna kill the root I have ??

It will keep root. Make sure you undo lag fix if you installed new kernel.

I don't recall mine keeping root. I just flashed CWR (odin), PBJ kernel (cwr), and debloated EE4 (cwr) after anyways. No wipe is necessary.
This way you get the radio update, EE4, back to rooted, and debloated.

why are you posting the same exact questions twice?

Well sir if you MUST know, I will explain why this is posted as a stand alone question as well as at the bottom of the 'stock rooted ed1 odin' thread in development. I do this just because I am such a nice S.O.B. .... I edited the build.prop last night as was being discussed in THAT thread. When I re-booted a couple of times I was still getting the update notification and I thought it was still the ED2 trying to be pushed to the phone so I posed the question of why the build.prop edit didn't take. I then noticed that it wasn't the ED2 update at all but EE4 was being pushed to the phone. So I went back in and edited the post to refelct the same, since I was unable to delete it. Now, since this was a new question and it was likely that it would get lost at the end of a 13 page week+ old post, I also posted it as its own question in the general forum where it belongs...
FEEL BETTER NOW ??

*sigh* ... LOL ... I tried to accept the EE4 and it came back as can't download now try again later. I go into phone and try to check for updates and it says phone is up to date. I'm thinkin due to the build.prop edit and stuff not matching in phone? Baseband version still says ed1 but build says ed2 in about phone listings. It started the download then kicked out immediately and rebooted when I tried to accept ee4 push.
I was able to ODIN this back to ED1 originally. Recovered from a brick the other night (many thanx to droidXcon !!) But I have never used cwr and am a flashing noob so to speak. I am assuming the directions and all downloads are around here if I research it? I am leery of the cwm/cwr stuff as I've seen so many peeps having issues stuck in boot loops and such.
Any help/advice appreciated.

I went back into build.prop and changed everything back to ED1. Phone now shows baseband and build as ED1 again and EE4 is trying to be pushed to the phone again. Looks like I can take the OTA update now and am assuming I will lose root? I have to learn how to use cwm. I downloaded the imnuts cwm this morning, is it as simple as istalling that via ODIN since it is a tar file? Then it will just be a matter of doing the research to figure out how to install stuff via cwm to have a rooted EE4?
Edit: nope ... still wouldn't take the ee4 update. Go to accept it, phone shuts down, get the download image, yellow progress bar makes it about 20% of the way across and phone reboots.

If you have Voodoo enabled it will do that. Make sure you disable before accepting OTA

I had never installed the voodoo ... don't know cwm yet ... when all else fails drop 5 yards and punt... i just re-flashed the stock rooted ed1 tar. Verified it had all of the appz back that I nuked with titanium and verified I still had root ... now the ee4 update is installing. Will advise of results asap.

I just upgraded my rooted ed1. The apps I had frozen are still frozen but I lost root.

Okay, I am at what I would consider a stock EE4 build. I did lose root.
So now I need to learn the easiest way to root to an EE4. I have not used cwm yet so I reckon I better learn!! Read the how to once thru. I did try just going into stock samsung recover holding volume/power/home and I did get into that.
So ... I have downloaded the imnuts cwm. Do I install that tar file and it is going to replace the stock recovery?
It now seems as though I am unable to enter stock recovery since I took the ee4? I was able to do this prior to the update. Do I proceed with flashing imnuts cwm and go from there?
Edit: I can get to stock recovery afterall
Also, I see references to some adb pushing in the cwm thread and I am ignorant of adb as well. I need to find a how to thread on all of this !! Is the adb another form of access to the phone that needs to be used in conjunction with cwm?
Edit: I flashed the New_CWM_Recovery.tar.md5 file via ODIN and I got the blue 'reset' in oding and the the green 'pass' ... I go thru the process to enter recovery mode and the menu looks the same with no added options? I have Android system recovery <3e> but now it is blue .... I think I better wait at this point for guidance.
Any Help Appreciated I need ee4 root !!

So I did Odin to ED1 and rooted. Accepted the OTA for ED2 and kept root. Now like the previous poster, I have the EE4 downloaded and ready to install. If I install it, do I keep root?
Someone said no cuz of modem changes. I didn't flash anything else except the ED1.
Thanks!

[Q] If your phone is rooted can you still get the ota updates? And One more ?

If the skyrocket is rooted can you still get ota updates? If so How? I am new to this. And also what is the current OTA update?

If its just rooted yes and it'll remove your root if you are on a custom ROM then it'll tell you you have one but it wont download
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

If your phone is rooted when an OTA update is released, you won't be able to download it. Unfortunately one have to be on stock to be able to download it, with bloat included and everything.

It told me I had a update but said server was down then I went back to it today and it says my phone is up to date

From what I understand if you are rooted with stock recovery you can take the ota update. If you are rooted with cwm recovery than you cannot take the ota. The beautiful thing I think is than even if you are rooted with cwm, and an ota releases (that you for some wild reason can't wait to have) its easy as pie to flash back to stock. At that point you should be able to take the ota. Heck maybe even just flashing the stock recovery itself would do the trick.....I dunno
As for current ota, most of us seem to have gotten stuck with 2.3.5. But there were quite a few folks who received the 2.3.6 update.

cdshepherd is correct. I was on stock 2.3.5 with stock 3e recovery... and was fully rooted. I was able to take the ATT OTA 2.3.6 update and kept superuser root access.

+1. I got 2.3.6 and kept root access, too. I'm also on stock recovery.

If you are not SO interrested in OTA
cdshepherd is correct, but, when 2.3.6 came out a few weeks ago, several folks were able to get it posted somewhere as a RAR file. you might look around if you are just dying to have it.. I think it was back around 11/21/2011 when I saw it the first time. About 290mb if I recall correctly.
Good luck!

I was rooted and still allowed the OTA update 2.3.6.. and still have root access

Ok people heres the deal. To take an ota update you can be rooted but . You need to have stock recovery, and all bloatware intact. It can be frozen but not deleted. And no one knows yet if the 4.0 ota will remove root. 2.3.6 ota did not. So we can hope.

Infuse 4G 2.3.6 how to root?

OEM 2.3.6 would like to root keeping everything as close as OEM as possible (don't like the custom ROMs).
Please advise.

Is a Kernel swap possible? Change Kernel to Gain Root then reflash back to Stock kernel?

try vagabond 3.5. It's almost completely stock but rooted.
If you follow directions, you can also flash the stock kernel and retain root.
There is no simple conventional method of root like SOC on the Infuse 2.3.6
---------- Post added at 04:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------
If you wanted to retain the odex file system,
you will need to flash a gb insecure kernel.
install superuser and busybox
flash back the stock kernel and fix the vold file.
it will be fun to try

Anyone here ever heard of or used OTA Rootkeeper? I have no clue if it will work on a Kies install method (never actually flashed through Kies) but, with my Transformer Prime, we used said app to retain root privileges after an OTA update from Asus. Worked everytime for me, even when updating to ICS from Honeycomb, so maybe Froyo to GB will be similar.
I don't have my Infuse with me (left it at home) or I would attempt it myself. It would be great if someone with prior kernel flashing knowledge could try it; if it doesn't work you can just flash a kernel to get your root back.
Additionally when we first got GB last summer I remember seeing a how-to from a dev explaining how we would achieve root on GB once AT&T released the update (since SOC only works with Froyo for us)...

I have used the ota rootkeeper on my atrix 2 when it got updated. Its a pain in the ass to use. The infuse does not need it plus i don't think it will work. Rooting the infuse is easy if you use the appropriate kernels.

I actually thought it was pretty friggin simple. Open the app/Protect Root/Temp. Unroot/Install OTA Update/DL Rootkeeper/Open/Restore Root. Seems pretty painless to me
And the OP wants as close to stock as possible, sure to me and you flashing an unsecure kernel is easy to gain root, but most ppl would rather have a one click executable through a PC w/ the right drivers for phone.
Soo I was thinking, the Kies Update shouldn't erase everything (apps, sdcard, etc.), Rootkeeper stores su in a place that isn't wiped during an OTA. I could be wrong, the app might not even be compatible, but I don't have my Infuse to try..
The process, if it works, requires very little knowledge to do and gives you root w/o messing w/ kernels:
1. Start from the latest Froyo stock build/ use SuperOneClick w/ drivers to root.
2. DL Rootkeeper/open/protect root/temp. unroot.
3. Run Kies and install the update
4. On your fresh GB build DL Rootkeeper from market, open/restore root.
5. Open Rootchecker and see if it worked. Done.
If it doesn't work, flash a kernel. (hell, what have we lost anyways, 30 mins?)
This weekend I'm driving home for the weekend, I can try it then; till then, any takers?
Again, if you have to know-how to flash a kernel, do it, I'm just brain storming alternatives for those who don't or don't want to.

I gave my personal Opinion about the ota rootkeeper. I just don't like it. Its easy yes but I personally would rather do it manually with a computer. Plus it will not work with kies. Kies is different than a ota update. The leak lb3 is the exact same as official. He can use kies to update, flash a rooted gingerbread kernel then flash the stock lb3 kernel. He will then be rooted with stock kernel.

Your right, its your opinion, and Rootkeeper most likely will not play well w/ Kies. Trust me, I would much rather flash a kernel for su, it really is a lot easier than some noobs might think.
As for Kies, I clearly stated that I haven't use Kies for an update, that it might not work and that I could be wrong I'm fully aware Kies is different than OTA; I'm pretty sure it wipes where the su binaries are protected, I only offered a suggestion for the OP, again b/c jumping into flashing things just for root sounds scary. The whole point was to voice possible alternatives, etc, you know, cuz that's what we do here at xda...
@OP, if you want to gain root through a kernel, I would suggest first looking into THESE links as you might have to use some methods listed there.
Also Qk's Back to stock guide HERE can get you to stock B3 w/ custom recovery (rather easy), and his Vagabond Rom has great instructions concerning his rom and stock kernels if need be HERE. Make sure to thank qkster for these. (I guess he has spent a lot of time with the B3 leak. )
We are kind of late to the GB party, it seems things aren't as straight forward as they were in Froyo or GB <= 2.3.5. The links should get you pointed in the right direction to get your phone stock + root. Good luck and READ up!

Root needed
Anyone came up with the rooted version of the following?
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/SupportOwnersFAQPopup.do?faq_id=FAQ00045587&fm_seq=46249

The latest official release from samsung (UCLB3)? My post right ABOVE yours is me explaining how to root the newest build, links included! Read! You would have quickly found that flashing an insecure kernel is your best bet.
Additionally, I tried the method I was discussing in this thread (ota rootkeeper) and it didn't work. (@tmease, you opinion is now fact )

[ROM][ROOT] Official Rogers SGH-I727R ICS 4.0.4 is Out + working Root method

Yes, everyone knows by now
ICS for Rogers Skyrocket is available through Kies as an Update as of this morning!!!
Also ROOT works too!!!
Sorry guys for my writing style, hope this is the right place to post it.
Just wanted to pass some news and tips so you know 100% what works and what doesn't.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
ROM UPDATE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Make sure your Kies is up to date and you have all Samsung Drivers correctly installed. If you update drivers and/or Kies software REBOOT YOUR COMPUTER.
It did not work for me when I was on another ISC leak ROM (ICS->ICS no no, GB->ICS yes! makes sense)
So went back and first flashed Rogers Radio/Modem (Radio_I727RUXKJ7.zip) and then ODIN Stock ROM (SGH-I727R-UCKJ2-k0nane.tar)
Thanks k0nane!
After doing that, Update through Kies went with no issues.
(it takes about 15 min so make sure your battery is fully charged and depending on your Internet connection it may be longer or faster)
Some screensots from Kies are attached below.
Pay attention to the messages, especially for the last NOTICE after update shows 100%.
The phone WILL REBOOT ON ITS OWN AFTER COUPLE MINUTES.
DO NOT PULL THE CABLE OUT!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
ROOT
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
It works.
Just follow instructions from starskyrob in THIS Guide
Thanks starskyrob!
It actually ONLY works with this version (Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip)
I know that because, of course I got too lazy and used SGSII Toolkit to do dirty work but it only ODINed proper CWM for me and then superuser.zip it tries to flash is 3.0.5 so this version does not work.
Just use Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip and everything will be fine.
Hope it helps some of you.
We waited waaaaay too long for this!!!

Except you tripped your flash counter if you used k0nane's "stock" tar. You're better off using the stock tar from the Sammobile website. I can confirm first hand that k0nane's trips the counter, the stock tar from Sammobile does NOT.

Correct sir! K0nane's trip counter every single time... Always use the sammobile tar. Just register and look for your device in my case "i727" downloading official tar does not trip counter, I really don't know why K0nane has not updated it yet.

Yeah, not as huge a deal now - but when I was doing it there was no counter reset.
As well, the two files are different in size, I can't recall which is larger though so something's not jiving.

not going to the stock official, going to wait for some devs to cook up some nice roms and kernels and flash the new stuff via CWM.
hope 4.0.4 stock is working well for all though. Good to see it is finally here with the new modem file !

What would happen if an att i727 is flashed with an odin tar of rogers ICS ? I heard that modem works fine on att i727

As mentioned previously, yes you can reset the counter. As also mentioned, I noticed there's a size difference between the two so added to the fact that k0nane's "stock" tar trips the counter and is a different size than the Sammobile one, I'd be inclined to use the Sammobile one. Also, why add extra steps like having to clear the flash counter? Might be worthwhile adding a note about that in the OP for those that don't read the whole thread and are unaware of the flash counter tripping situation.

WiFi problems after rooting official Rogers ICS 4.0.4
Hey everyone,
I just updated from stock Rogers GB to the official ICS - no problems there; however right after I rooted it using the file/method suggested above (again, without any issues), I started having issues with WiFi - it seems to be random but say, about 4/5 times, the WiFi would fail to connect after the phone gets restarted - although the WiFi service is running (the WiFi button is green). Sometimes there is also a system flash showing the message "?WiFi available" with a question mark before the message. If I manually stop/restart the WiFi, it eventually recognizes the hotspot and it connects. I have the Superuser & Busybox Pro PROPERLY installed, furthermore, no other program that requires root permissions seems to be having any problems whatsoever (Titanium Backup, Rom Manager, Superuser, Tasker, CallRecorder, etc).
Although I didn't spent much time playing around BEFORE applying the root, it seems obvious to me that this only occurs after rooting - personally I suspect that ICS 4.0.4 doesn't go along very well with this rooting method (mismatching binaries). I am also aware about a known bug in ICS 4.0.4, causing the WiFi to frequently drop - could it be one and the same?
FYI: I tried installing/reinstalling ICS several times: initially I have updated through Kies, than I flashed the ROM from Sammobile through Odin, and then another couple of time I just reformatted the system in CWM and reinstalled everything again.. At first I used some backups from TB (no system files, only 3rd party), but then, suspecting that backups made in GB might conflict with ICS structure, I didn't use any backups at all - just fresh installations - no difference, same problem.
UPDATE: I have flashed & done some tests with SKY-ICS by seanzscreams. Unfortunately, since it's based on the same Rogers' ROM, it comes with the same problem. I guess this only confirms my observation.
Anybody else having this issue?

Well, actually it DOES work while YES, it does give an error - all you have to do is ignore the error and keep trying; the 3rd or the 4th attempt shall be successful and it'll confirm the process successfully completed.
HOWEVER
Super User 3.0.7 and CWM are two completely different things. The Super User 3.0.7 combined with the binaries (as it comes zipped) is intended to root the phone, while the CWM is a set of tools - having nothing to do with rooting.
My concern is that even the developer of the package Super User 3.0.7.zip admits that the binaries were intended for all Android versions up to 4.0.3 - while, like many others, I was hoping to also work with 4.0.4 - which it does...but it doesn't.
A direct reference can be found here.

Has anyone heard whether or not Chainfire, as come up with a non Odin one click, with CWM Touch & root?
I get the feeling that can do all this in his sleep!
Sent from, The Eclectic Chair.

Ok, I've got a couple of probably very dumb questions. So sorry!
I updated my phone to the rogers ICS using kies. Everything is great, but I no longer have Root.
In reading Copperheads instructions this is what I don't get.
I already have
The the superuser zip on my external sd card, as well as Rom Manager, CWM Recovery and titanium etc. They're all present in my app drawer & as short cuts on the phone. What is missing is the root access, why is the message I get when trying to open any of them Is there no way to flash what's already on my phone? Or do I basically have to start from scratch with Odin So I apologize again for the question, it's just hard for me to figure out why, if everything is actually on the phone now?
Sent from, The Eclectic Chair.

quick question
Okay so quick question,
If it's better to use the stock odin tar from sammobile to flash back to stock.
Would it be better to flash the I727RUXLF3(ICS) from sammobile right away or go back to stock gingerbread and upgrade through kies.

[Q] Updating to Jelly Bean w/ TWRP

Every time I try to do the over the air update from ICS to JB on my AT&T Skyrocket when the phone restarts I get stuck at the TWRP bootloader (from when I rooted it). When I tell it to restart and the phone boots it tells me the update was unsuccessful. What am I doing wrong? More importantly, will I have to restore the original bootloader to update? If that's the case where can I find it? Will I have to backup everything and then just restore it to factory defaults?

If you're updating stock roms over the air, you have to be on stock, unrooted, with the stock recovery. However, that being said, there is no official JB rom for the skyrocket either through ota or through Kies. It's likely that it is reading that there is a minor update for ICS available. If you really want it, there is a thread for it somewhere around here. I believe that there may even be a flashable zip there.

That's what I was afraid of. I can't find the original, and to be honest I forgot how to do it it's been so long since I've messed with it. On the other hand, if it's not JB then I'm not too worried about it and will let it ride until it is available. For my edification, do you know where I could find the proper stock recovery?

Check out the stickies. A member by the username of Vincom has a few with some really good info contained within them. In one of them, there is a link for Samsungs downloads page where you can find all the stock Odin flashable tars. Those will bring you back to 100% stock with recovery.
