hi guys, im new here
just have a few questions
i have a bell samsung s3 model SGH-I747M , i have android version (stock) 4.0.4 , i have rooted my device
however, i want to update to jelly bean 4.1.2 , i was wondering, do i update using the stock software or will that cause my phone to trip since it is rooted? or do i use a jellybean update made for rooted devices? should i even update? or use the ROMs for the current version ?
also, what is the best ROM for s3? is there one where u can control CPU usage on board ?
thank you
anybody :/ ?
Well if you like stock unroot your phone and put stock recovery back on to get the ota update. You need stock recovery to get it. So if you haven't installed clockworkmod or twrp recoveries and are still on stock you're fine, just unroot. You can always reroot. If you'd like to try custom ROMs go to search your phone up top and you'll find ROMs made for your phone.

Ok. qbking77 on YouTube probably has a video out showing ya how to do it depending on your model of phone. Just search his videos "how to flash stock recovery" and "stock jelly bean" with your carrier varient. they are the easiest to follow. Make sure its your carrier or youll brick your phone. Once you flash a stock ROM that specifies "not rooted" you won't have to unroot.

When you install stock ROMs your phone will no longer be rooted. Some roms were created with root pre installed. So if you use them you will have root. If you want to update your phone with an "over the air" update, you will need stock recovery And a stock ROM . But if it were me I would just keep custom recovery and find a rooted stock ROM to download. Sorry I didn't reply sooner

I am new to the nexus s , but have been a heavy galaxy s user. I noticed that flashing roms etc is a bit different from what I am used to on my galaxy s .. I did not see any thread containing stock kernels ... So how can I return to stock after I have flashed another kernel ? I have installed the voodoo kernel with ext4, sound and colour enhancement .. But suppose I want to return to my stock gri54 kernel , how can I do that ? Have read allready about fastboot etc etc but then I should have an .img of the stock kernel , correct ?
By flashing back to stock rom, you will get back your stock kernel automatically.

So by flashing back to stock ROM via recovery, does it mean that it will be locked and un-rooted as factory default [like when you first purchase the device]?

It will be unrooted, but still with unlocked bootloader.

The Odin package can put you back to stock rom too.
So what you are saying there is no way to flash only the stock kernel ?? Very confusing .. I am able to flash just another kernel using fastboot but I am not able to flash back the stock kernel using fastboot ? Odin is a last resort method .. haven't seen fastboot .img files of the stock here in the forums ?
I'm not sure if anybody posted any stock kernel file in the forums. If there is any, you can easily download it and install via recovery or fastboot.
Otherwise you can only revert to stock roms because stock roms links are easily available through the forums or samsung firmware website.
Or after you have failed everything, may want to consider Odin. It seems to touch the phone at a lower level compare to other techniques.
follow the instruction on this

work great for me after all
Samsung i9023
Good luck
Yeah , I also mentioned odin allready .. Used it a lot when I had my galaxy s .. Just thought that since the nexus s can use fastboot I could get rid of odin ..
I am also not used that all has to be flashed to achieve a single goal .. On the galaxy s I could flash the kernel separately and also stcok kernel were easy to find .. I think it is kind of a hassle to reflash a whole rom just because you want stock kernel back ..
Voodoo has stated that his kernel is 'almost' stock, with only voodoo addon to the pure stock kernel. Maybe you can use that?
Some news here?
Hi there!
I was also wondering about this same situation. Let's say I want to stick with the original ROM and try some non-stock kernels. After some tests I know there is an OTA available but I don't want to backup and restore everything (using TB or similar). From what I understood I wouldn't be able to flash stock kernel (in other words, back to full stock ROM + Kernel) and apply OTA update...
What if we just flash boot.img from a nandroid of stock rom+kernel?

Hoo great!
but, can you tell us where to find or how to get it from the stock ROM and make it flashable? It might be useful for upcoming releases of stock ROM/Kernels.
Thank you once again,
RM
edit: after searching by the filename you gently provided I found this:
hxxp://www.android-hilfe.de/2277361-post1.html
hxxp://www.michalurban.cz/Nexus_S_i9023/Kernel/
seems to be a good compilation, and stock is in the list!
The file I posted is already flashable through CWM. Just wipe dalvik first. Of course make sure you have a Nandroid backup just in case.
Hi,
sure, I noticed that. What I was wondering was how to get this flashable kernels. From the stock ROM full installation file? From a nandroid backup of a stock ROM??

Hi, is any chance to get stock kernel for Jelly Bean 4.1.1? I've got stock rom, Air Kernel and OTA is buzzing me multiple times a day. No luck in upgrade, Error Status 7. I think it's Air Kernel's fault.

Hi All
Let me start by saying what a wicked forum, I love it!!
Hopefully I wont get shot for this.
I have tried the search function and read a number of posts, but it has just confused me.
I have an unbranded HTC Sensation 2.3.3 s-off and rooted.
I want to update it to 2.3.4, I have had the OTA notification and the install failed.
My question is, do I have to install a custom ROM, or is there away to install the OTA update. I know I will probably lose root.
Thank you
Kam
You must be on stock ROM and stock recovery. Not sure if root matters

You can always get the Ruu.exe and extract the recovery image and make a flashable zip. There are numerous threads about it.

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

The 2.3.6 update for the i9020a was pulled by Google. There will be a new update released soon. I would wait.

i'm pretty sure it just got re-released. i'm guessing it isn't causing issues anymore either
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

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.

That's exactly right. Now, please no more threads on this guys, Sheesh
First of all, i'm a noob at rooting, flashing custom roms and kernels, et al, so please, have patience..
I just want to know guys IF it's true that the One S will receive 4.2.2 and Sense 5, will i be able to receive it via settings>about>software updates, even i'm rooted, with CWM recovery, but on stock ROM? And if in case i received it, is it safe to download and install? I've read somewhere that you must be on stock recovery before applying an OTA, plus i can't find again where i've read that, and i also don't know how to revert back to stock recovery, unroot and lock the bootloader since i used hasoon's tool kit in rooting..
A little help will definitely appreciated..

Okay first of all, it will take some time before the update reaches our One S. But yes you'll have to unroot + stock recovery + relock bootloader.
But again we are not sure if the update will be OTA or on HTCdev.
When it does, it's not difficult to Unroot + flashing stock recovery. The easiest is to lock bootloader.
So don't worry chum and roam around in the forums and you'll get all you need to become eligible to receive the update.
It's pretty early to worry about the update.
