[Q]Stock Recovery for ICS - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

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.

[Q] i9020A updating to 2.3.6

I really hate to do this, but i've searched for a while now and can't seem to find anything that matches my situation.
i'm on stock 2.3.4, but rooted with a different kernel, boot image, and a different radio flashed. I realize that i'm not going to be able to install the update directly from my phone, but I can't seem to install the signed update file through cwm or the stock recovery I just flashed. cwm fails with a status 7 error, and stock recovery won't even let me bring up the menu to manually install the update.
i'm just wondering if I should flash a stock rom with recovery and then try to flash the update that way, or is there some other way that I could do it? I don't want to lose any data from my phone, and I would flash the full 2.3.6 rom instead, but I can't connect to the download link in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664.
once again, I really hate to do this, but I am pretty much stuck right now.
thanks

((((((......HOW TO TAKE AN OTA UPDAte. If your rooted/runing custom rom ))))))......

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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1384865
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!

OTA

If I want the ota do I have to lock fastboot or can I just flash a fully stock rom. I saved my stock rom from when I first rooted.

The bootloader can stay unlocked.

Cool as long as I have the original rom, kernel and ect...... I think it was 2.3.6. I don't need to lock bootloader thx

You can't flash an OTA on anything but stock recovery. You would be better off waiting 10 minutes for a flashable .zip to be posted on the forums so you don't have to do anything but wipe data.
Since you are going to restore to 2.3.6, you will probably be able to update the phone to 4.0.4 atm. And if that works, then the OTA for Jelly Bean will probably work too!

Wrong
Again in order to manually flash a official ota you NEED a custom recovery. It no longer works on stock recovery. The ota installs on stock recovery IF you get it pushed to you. It will fail to automatically flash ( as far I know) if the ota is pushed to your device and you click on reboot and install with a custom recovery.
You NEVER have to wipe data when applying a ota.

GT-P6210 ICS (rooted) updating issue

Is anyone else having trouble with installing OTA updates? I just received one for stability and once it rebooted to the recovery (CWM) it failed. Would I have to remove my custom recovery then?
Sent from my GT-P6210 using xda premium
OTA updates can only be applied using the stock recovery. If you are on a custom recovery (i.e. CWM) then updates will fail. Only way to update will be to wait for someone to create a CWM flash able update based on the OTA update. Either that, or go back completely stock and allow the OTA to install itself

OTA help with root

I have a stock Rom rooted One S. Can I install the newest OTA update? It tried to install the update and failed. Then failed again through recovery.

Have you flashed a custom recovery? I believe OTAs only install if phone has stock recovery.
If you are running a custom recovery, flash the stock one and try again .
Rooting has no affect on OTAs as long as the ROM is stock (or stock enough). Someome else could confirm this ?

the recovery has to be in your fastboot folder
Ok, this didn't work. The OTA update gets halfway and then gets a red triangle and then restarts the phone.
Searched for a couple hours and not getting anywhere. Can someone give me some tips?
RUU back to stock, then apply the OTA if you really want it.

That's what I ended up doing. I found out I had to relock the bootloader.
Thanks for all the help.
