I want to be sure my DS can receive and install the imminent (?) ota ICS from HTC. Still a bit of a noob so read a lot of stuff on here and other forums (mainly non DS) but haven't really found definitive answers for the 'half rooted' device i.e. bootloader unlocked via htcdev, cwm flashed, s-on.
Main concerns are:
losing root
ota will not install because of /system/app and framework mismatch (after a few UOT mods) - boot animation and sound have also been changed in /system/customise/resource, also bloatware removed
ota issues with cwm installed
Originally first thing I did immediately after flashing cwm was a nandroid backup so that's available to me, which really only leaves the cwm and ota compatability question.
Is Rootkeeper an option or should I root from scratch again after ota?
If I receive notification of the ota availability, then restore from original backup (and maybe relock bootloader with htcdev?) will I then have lost the chance to install the ota?
A lot of questions and ifs, I know, I just don't want to screw up the chance to try the official ICS before going for a custom rom. Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I'm pretty sure HTC Dev unlocked devices can't get OTA updates. I'm completely sure devices with CWM can't (you need stock HTC recovery). Since you already have a custom recovery, it would be better to get a custom ROM, much fastr and tweaked
As shrome99 said..
To get the OTA update you will need to have STOCK recovery, and a relocked bootloader to get the OTA.

I got OTA updates with both an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery. It's true the update won't install till you're back on stock recovery but the locked bootloader isn't necessary. I was however updating from Stock Sense 2.1
Warning: do not install it if you get a OTA message if rooted!
It will lead to the dreaded red triangle screen. Your best bet is to just install CWM/4EXT then when the new update comes, install the ICS prerooted ROM by Adidas.

The "dreaded" triangle screen is just the stock recovery.

That won't boot back to your ROM therefore you are stuck.
No root/s-off, therefore you can't do much about it. (Unless you get the RUU to run)
And for the average user, this is difficult for them to understand. Hence it has picked up its name as the 'dreaded triangle screen' over several different HTC device threads.

Cheers for the input.. did a bit more snooping and (if and when I get the ota shout).. I think I can go back with original nandroid to pre-root, before superuser went in. Then I'll give Android Recovery Manager (Sensation Android Development forum) a lash, just to see if I can flash back the stock recovery img.
If any nice ota comes my way which won't take then I'll try htcdev to relock the bootloader and give it another lash!
Think (hope) it'll work.. couldn't find a stock img anywhere yet so I'm hoping it's included in the above manager.. was going to try tonight but, typical, my connection went..
'Your best bet is to just install CWM/4EXT then when the new update comes, install the ICS prerooted ROM by Adidas.'
I have cwm, not sure why I would wait for the update then install a custom ics rom..
You must install stock recovery to install OTA update.OTA won't install, if you have custom recovery or S-off.But I recommend to install ROM, using zip or RUU.
From htcdev:
(after unlocking bootloader) Some content on your device may also be invalidated and cannot be accessed any more because of invalid DRM security keys. This includes content that you may have purchased through a 3rd party vendor and through HTC. Furthermore, although you will still be able to receive updates to your device via FOTA (“firmware over the air”), we do not guarantee that updating your device via FOTA will not render your device unusable.
That answers the question re the bootloader but I'm struggling to find the stock recovery img to flash.
I suppose I can extract and then flash it, possibly from this: RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_219480_signed.exe, even though my device is 2.10.161.3 (161 is Vodafone). The radio is the same as mine which is irrelevant anyway, right?
I know it would be easier to install the RUU but after hours of research I would really like to be able to nail this so I have the option of reverting back to VF stock, as I still have 18 months warranty left.
Can anyone can confirm if I'm on the right track pls?
I suppose, if you haven't GoldCard or SuperCID recovery won't flash(signature verify failed).Download Zip/exe of your ROM , and flash that recovery.After that you might be able to install FOTA.No guarantee it will work.

It will flash, because his bootloader is unlocked.
He won't need a goldcard cause he is flashing a voda RUU recover, future I don't think it will even come into play when using fastboot to flash it.
However I suggest EVERYONE who is a little unsure make a goldcard.
Thanks all, trying to get a gold card now just to be sure.. however just intend to extract and flash the recovery img from the ruu, once I can be sure I have the right one.. the stock recovery in HTC devices is generic, no?
i also have a doubt.
what i wanted to know is that will i still be able to update my device OTA if i have unlocked the bootloader, rooted my device but havent installed a custom recovery?my device is rooted nothing more than that. and after relocking my bootloader (i dont mind loosing root) will i be able to update OTA?
sorry for being irrelevant but i didnt want to start a new thread for a doubt of this magnitude.

Hello everyone. I'm somewhat of a noob still and I would appreciate any help you could give me.
I'm trying to install the new OTA update that came out today but I'm having issues. I have a rooted One S with TWRP recovery, and everytime I try to install the OTA update it brings me to the TWRP recovery screen. I'm pretty sure this is because I don't have stock recovery. I've even tried "unrooting" with Voodoo Over the Air root, but it keeps bringing me to the TWRP recovery screen.
I rooted my phone with the All-In-One root kit, and I really don't want to lose everything on my device (or have the pain in the butt of restoring everything). Is there another way? Or is there an easy way to reinstall the stock recovery with the AIO kit? I know the AIO kit has the option to install other recoveries, but I'm not sure where to get the stock one.
Please help! I really want to upgrade.
Thanks so much for your help!

Check this out
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907564
Scroll half way down and you get a list of different steps you may have to do in order to get it done.
Most include installing "OTA RootKeeper" from GooglePlay
Steps vary from how your phone is setup. Stuff like do you have Root, Custom or stock Mod, or CWM or stock recovery. Check it out. I'm trying it now.
(adding more to it so I don't double post.)
I tried the method with Root Keeper, it doesn't seem to work for me. It also seems as though a few others are having the same issue. Someone recommended use an RUU to go completely stock, therein losing all your data unless you back all that stuff up.
I'm going to avoid an RUU at all costs, I hate having to reset up my phone. Plus I just got a XOOM I need to work more on and get setup so I don't want to put more time on the phone than I have to as to take away time from my XOOM.
Let me know if you run into any success! PM if you need to.
Hello. Any stock recovery for Ville C2 (One S s3)? I'm looking everywhere and I cannot find. I want to update to JB with OTA
I'm really confused about something and before I get flamed for not searching before posting, let me preface by saying that I have and still can't find a definitive answer given that nobody seems to reference the problem I'm having - at least it doesn't show up in my attempts to search.
My Question: Once I'm rooted, what is the process for accepting an OTAs (over the air updates) from Verizon? Whenever I download and install them, I get the "Custom" Lock Icon during bootup.
Here are the steps I've followed:
1. Flashed back to stock 4.1.1
2. Flashed the VRALEC bootchain
3. Flashed CWMR
4. Booted into CWMR recovery and ran the SuperSU_Bootloader_FIXED.zip (Note: no message appeared asking me about locking
5. Flashed the 4.1.1 bootchain
6. Downloaded and it auto rebooted to install the OTA (I wanted to see what it's like the NEXT time verizon pushes out an OTA so I know what the process is once all my apps are installed)
7. When finished applying the update it asks me: A. Do I want to Disable recovery flash? and B. Do I want to preserve root?
At first I tried answering both questions with yes and yes since I saw the message about that here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046439
My Problem: As soon as I rebooted, I get the custom lock icon message during bootup. So then I repeated the entire process and answered No and No to those questions. And again, I get the custom lock icon message during bootup.
Yes, I realize, I can and probably should install the OTA and then root the device. But that's not my point. I want to understand what to do the NEXT time Verizon pushes out an OTA. Do I have to flash back to stock every time I install the OTA and root the device only after installing the OTA just to avoid getting the custom lock icon? If not, how do I accept the OTA without getting the custom lock icon? (Obviously I can't seem to figure out how to do it now, so I won't be able to do it the next time an OTA rolls around - thus the reason for my question).
Thanks,
Jonathan
you might have to flash a custom ROM to block Verizon from pushing OTA.

Reference section 5 for me. It looks like you already know how to get to that point. It has great instructions for recovering to stock from the triangle.
As far as disabling updates go I would recommend titanium backup, and freezing the update service. "FWUpgrade" as well as "SDM" are the names. You can also uninstall it, but freezing it in Titanium is my recommendation.... This will prevent your phone from pinging OTA updates in the future even when big red pushes them.
Honestly, if you want the new feature just wait a day or two after the release. There is always a lovely developer waiting to debloat, deodex, and optimize the official OTA update for your use without breaking root access.
Have I helped with your question? Or have I misinterpreted your needs?
First, thanks for the replies!

I think you misunderstood me on this point. When installing an OTA after root, I never get the yellow triangle, so there is no need to recover. The problem I'm having is that on the very first screen that appears when you first power on the phone (after installing the OTA on top of a rooted version of Android) it adds a large lock icon with the word "CUSTOM" to black screen (think it says Samsung but I don't recall) to indicate that Verizon has detected something custom about the phone.
I was trying to determine if after having rooted my phone if there was a way to accept the OTA and still maintain root - rather than having to flash back to stock or flash an update using ODIN. It's a pain to have to always flash something at home - I'd like to be able to accept the OTA if possible while I'm away from home. I tried OTA Rootkeeper but that didn't seem to do anything for me - perhaps I'm not using it correctly???

So if I understand correctly, an app such as OTA Rootkeeper is useless for Verizon Galaxy S3 - the only way to get root and the Verizon OTA is to either 1. flash back to stock, install all OTAs and then re-root OR else 2. flash the custom OTA from a forum member, is that correct? In other words, once I've rooted, I always have to use ODIN to get an update - there is no other option?

I'll suggest using EZ Unlock v1.2, just tap to lock then immediately tap to unlock your bootloader and you'll hear an audio confirmation upon pressing unlock. I think that should take care of the custom lock when booting up.

I'll say this, most custom roms block Verizon OTA's from installing so you'll just have to accept that you need to flash back to stock to accept an OTA OR just stick to a rooted OTA based rom. There's at least seven of these, one per OTA or leak that we've seen to date.

Absolutely correct. Can I ask you something? Do you intend on using custom roms or do you just want to use rooted stock OTA's? Cuz you're inquiring an awful lot about OTA's for someone who would be using custom roms. That said, XDA devs have posted a rooted version of each OTA available. Each is in the dev section, they'll be titled something like "Stock Root JB 4.1.2 - I535VRBMB1 Official Update". You could easily just flash any one of these then pull down an OTA since these are left untouched with the only addition being SuperUser. Even still, you would need to re-root after accepting an OTA since OTA's wipe out root so you'll be doing this for as long as we see updates on this phone.
If you're rooted you can use OTA Rootkeeper to back up root, install OTA and then use it again to restore root. I just did this for the current OTA without any issues. Just make sure you also have stock recovery reinstalled if you installed TWRP or CWM, and relock the boot loader first.

Yes! That removed the lock icon. So my next question is, when my phone booted back up and said the OTA failed (yet still shows the incremented version number making it appear like the update actually was successful) was there anything that got messed up as part of the upgrade? Or would I be better off going the route of another person's reply which said I should lock the bootloader and flash back to stock recovery first before accepting the OTA?

Currently I'm not really looking for custom ROMS - my experience with ROMS with my original Galaxy S was just a buggy experience (i.e. call volumes that kept reverting to max for every call, etc) and was not very enjoyable. As long as I stay rooted and current with Android I'm happy at this point (of course that could change down the road).

Thank you!!!! That was exactly what I was hoping to find! I tried this out just for kicks to see if it would work for me and it did!
For anyone interested, here are the steps I took with my rooted device :
1. Lock the boot loader using EZ-Unlock 1.2
2. Using EZ-Recovery 2.2, I flashed the stock recovery
3. Backed up root access using OTA Root Keeper
4. Downloaded and installed the OTA
Note: The lock icon appeared still
5. Used EZ-Recovery 2.2. to flash CWM recovery in place of the stock recovery (I couldn't get it to flash the same tar.md5 file I used with ODIN though - don't know what kind of file EZ-Recovery needs - so I used the version of CMWR that it provided)
6. Restored root access using OTA Root Keeper (needs reboot I think for this step)
7. Unlocked boot loader using EZ-Unlock 1.2
I may have gotten these steps slightly out of order but this successfully allowed me to install the OTA (with a successful install message too) and got rid of my lock icon!!!

I am not sure if the sdm will block the update but now when I go to about phone and select software update it errors out. Also I am only rooted do I realy need to worry about the update? Also looking for a good stable rom. If anyone wants recomend one. Just got my phone like a week ago. Thank you guys. Xda has been great help.

Re-read the thread to find EZ Unlock, I'm fairly certain someone posted a link. I will say it's been removed from the Play Store for awhile now.
Freezing sdm 1.0 is all you really need to do. That's normal that it errors out now. You froze that setting so it won't be polling for an OTA nor allow you to manually search for an OTA. Whether you want the OTA or not is on you, there isn't much present that we do not already have in custom roms plus the OTA has already been rooted.

Stock rooted MB1 here w/ TWRP. Tried to update earlier and completely soft bricked my phone. Had to do some fancy work to get it back and restore.
Now I tried this process:
1. Lock the boot loader using EZ-Unlock 1.2
2. Using EZ-Recovery 2.2, I flashed the stock recovery
3. Backed up root access using OTA Root Keeper
4. Downloaded and installed the OTA
5. Restored root access using OTA Root Keeper
6. Used EZ-Recovery 2.2. to flash TWRP recovery in place of the stock recovery
7. Unlocked boot loader using EZ-Unlock 1.2
and when I get to the step of actually installing the OTA - it reboots into stock recovery - and about 15 seconds in it fails and shows the android guy on his back. lol
It actually boots back into the phone properly & says that the update failed. Status page shows the baseband got updated, but not the ROM. Any ideas?
thanks
Edit: Bah. It's the stupid 'E: Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip error.' According to my searches there's no easy fix.
Edit #2: I just wound up dirty flashing the full stock root package from Scott & Beans. That worked.
I'm running the MD3 on the stock ROM and rooted. Now when I originally rooted my phone (using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046439), I'm fairly confident that I did NOT unlock the bootloader and also installed the CWM Touch recovery. After the process was over I had an unlocked padlock image show up on my phone every time it booted.
Now, I tried to install the new update via OTA (I defrosted all apps I had frozen) and when the phone re-booted to start the update, I received the warning message "System software not authorized by Verizon...." and in the upper left hand corner it says in red, "Secure: Kernel". The phone will continue to boot to this message. When I try to boot into recovery, it goes to this message, not the CWM recovery. The only way to get out of that message is to boot into Odin mode and hit Vol DOWN to cancel.
SO.....what do I need to do in order to install this new update?
UPDATE: I unlocked via EZ Unlock and rebooted into recovery and this time I was able to get into my CWM recovery and updated the zip file posted on another thread in the general forum. All is well now.
Can I upgrade OTA after root but on STOCK ROM?
So if I'm rooted, but still running one of the VERIZON's STOCK ROM,
1. Can I upgrade OTA?
2. Will suck OTA upgrade unroot my phone?

As of this moment, yes to both. The newest ota is VRBMF1 and you can still root/unlock that version just as easy as any other.
I recently got my HTC one back from repairs, I had custom software on it before I shipped it off. So when I got it back, I wanted to install the custom software back on it. I did the root process, got it rooted. Installed recovery, wiped the needed files and then tried to flash the software. It failed. I got worried because I didnt make a backup before I did this. So I had to RELOCK and install stock software. I then try to do the process again. I root, and then try to install the recovery. I get an error. Turns out, when I rooted, the bootloader was still "RELOCKED" but it was s-off. I then try to install revone. I try to do the process where I unlock it. Except I cant run the command "su" because I dont have a recovery.
Right now im kinda just stuck. I dont know what to do to fix it...
It would be helpful if someone would tell me how to get it to unlocked, or anything like it.
Hello
I have the GS3 stock rooted, model SCH-1535 running 4.1.2. I've been getting notifications saying there is an OTA update available, which I keep declining. I decided it was time to flash a new ROM so this notification will stop. I installed TWRP recovery and was going to create a backup, but I am unable to get into recovery. I keep getting an error message saying i have unauthorized software on my phone. I believe this issue dates back to a time when I did try to take the OTA update.
I've tried taking the update using the root keeper type apps, nothing seems to allow the update to go through, but I am able to keep root.
How to I fix this issue? Do i need to go through the unrooting process with triangle away, etc.?

You didn't unlock your bootloader.
Boot into download mode, and hit volume down to force the phone to boot into the system. Download ez unlock version 1.2 and install it, open it and unlock, then you're good to go.
If you can't get that to work, you need to Odin this rom, reroot with casual, then get ez unlock and make sure you're unlocked before you flash a custom recovery:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23134718111254196
You probably won't be able to boot into the rom because it's aosp, so you're probably stuck with the second option.

That unauthorized software message means you did not unlock your bootloader before trying to install the custom ROM. Download the EZ Unlock 1.2 app below, use a file explorer to move it to system/apps, install it, open it up and use it to unlock your bootloader.
