I'm running Beans v8 and was just wondering if the OTAs are blocked automatically or if its something I'll need to do.
Wanted to ask cause I've been seeing some things about updates etc coming soon.
Don't wanna lose that unlocked boot loader!!!

Probably, even if it doesn't and you accept the OTA update it won't install it will just reboot and error out and boot back to your lock screen.

Pretty sure there's a FOTA blocker in there.

I have a rooted stock rom with ROM manager and the security update that fixed the browser security flaw won't work. I keep having to defer it. Any ideas on how to fix?

If you want to install it, Odin back to stock and take the update. If you don't want the update and want the notification gone, freeze SDM 1.0 with Titanium and it will never bother you again.

Hey guys, just recently had to unroot the S3 due to some minor hardware issues. I flashed the stock Rom and all with mobile Odin and was even able to update with the ota.
Is there a way to check to make sure the bootloader is locked without having to unroot again? Have a feeling I missed a step but just want to be sure.

Of the Samsung screen flashes by very quickly at boot then it means you are unlocked.

If you did a ota then your bootloader is locked iirc. Which version did you flash with odin? I think the F2 is the only version that doesnt relock but i could be wrong. But as suggested if the samsung logo goes away real quick at boot you are unlocked.

I flashed the rom they had from stockrooms.net, so I'm guessing it was one of the first roms the S3 had. It seems like I'm locked since it did an OTA twice (one I manually allowed then another one automatically) and the Samsung logo doesn't just flash by.
As x714x posted, if you accepted an OTA then your bootloader is locked.

The HD stock build is the only one that wipes everything.

Just unlock again using EZ Unlock 1.2 to be safe. It will not hurt anything to unlock it if it is already unlocked.

Just a heads up, if you're running the stock android browser you'll need to put back the two /system/app/browserproxy* files you had to move/rename. The 4.2.1 patch seems to update them, and for some reason I don't have to take them back out to keep using the stock browser (i'm using version browser version 4.2.1)...?
Does this remove root? And would flashing the update that popped up on my tab cause me to lose root?

I'm not sure if it was because of Voodoo OTA Root Keeper, or CMW6.x asking to keep root, but mine stayed, as did the custom recovery.

YES it does!
I had to reflash 4.2, as if I re root via Nexus Tool kit I lose custom cwm touch recovery.
Will leave this update until the removal of root is fixed.
Can I flash this trough twrp without losing root privileges

Flashed this with voodoo root keeper and all is good. Updated with root intact. Thanks guys!!

So I'm running into difficulties updating to jellybean.
I'm rooted on stock 4.04,with the bootloader unlocked, and have vodoo ota installed.
When installing the update, it prompts me in cwm to install the untrusted package. So I click ok to continue.
A quarter way through it fails and reboots, then continues to reboot continously after it powers up to the home screen.
What am I doing wrong, what should I disable to install this ota update.
Thanks in advance

If you have safestrap installed,you need to uninstall it first.
So would safetrap be the equavlant to clock work mod?

Possibly. If you can live without it temporarily without losing root, give it a try. For the update to work, you need to have your phone "stock" with the exception of being rooted, which you can protect with rootkeeper. Any apps that came stock, need to be there, etc. also make sure that your SU binaries are updated as well.
I tried the temp unroot and tried installing it, but it didn't work. I'll attempt to un install clockwork mod, and temp unroot and try it again.
Would you be able to save me some time and point me in the right direction for removing clockwork mod please

I'd say this is probably your problem. Always better to use TB, and just freeze the bloatware, but leave it in place.

You'll need a fresh stock /system from someone on here. Can anyone grab a dd image of their Rogers RAZR HD running .492002?

I have a question, I already rooted my phone and put a bunch of mods, tweaks, and root only apps and I am still on the stock firmware (I haven't flashed any Roms yet). So I wanted to ask if I will still get the OTA updates from Google, or will I have to flash them myself

My bad about the title, first time making a topic so I thought I am suppose to write it there and I now I don't know how to change
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
I believe your phone will still download the update, but you will need to flash them from your recovery. That's how I understand it anyway.
Having root permissions itself will not stop you from successfully installing an OTA but any modification will. You can read more about the requirements to receive an OTA update here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2523217
Thanks. That helped a lot
