So I just got some type of OTA update from Verizon, I have an unlocked bootloader as well as rooted. Can I install this update or will it brick? The file is under /cache/fota/update.zip 30.92mb. I thought if you was rooted you couldn't even get OTA's. Any ideas? I renamed the file so it wouldn't update even though it asked me when to install and I entered 10pm tonight to retry.

It's a pretty major security patch so hopefully someone here puts it in a package for flashing. Someone else said they just unlocked again immediately after but I'm not sure how to best approach it for you.

Rooting doesn't do anything about receiving updates, it's a particular file that is phoning home.

Do you have a rom? If not people are saying they installed update and rooted device again.
I just got it this morning as well.... I'm stock rooted and I don't want the update. Do I have to accept it? Do I need to un-root? What will happen to my Google Wallet & Google Now?
I'd like to know also, I am stock rooted, unlocked and don't know if I should accept the update or not??
I got the same update but it flashed itself into recovery and then failed to install the update. Says "install aborted"

You are right, I clicked "OK", it rebooted and went into CWM. I clicked "reboot now", when the phone finished booting I got an error message. Hopefully it won't continue doing this.
No I'm on a stock rooted ROM, it tried to install just now and failed as well.

This is because you all most likely have a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM and it can only install on stock recovery. If you freeze sdm1.0 it wont keep asking you to update

I've heard that to be safe, you need to re-lock the boot loader, un-root, and go back to stock in order to accept the updates.
There is a guide to do that here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867253

You are okay to be rooted and do a update. I do it all the time, it just unroots you and you have to rerun ur rooting. As for the bootloader i lock it before a update

If you use version 1.2 there isn't any issues. The 1.4 in the market of the one with issues. There's a thread somewhere in here that you can download the older versions that work correctly still
Tap'n
Just find ez-unlock in the play store and click on the link in the description. It will take you to the app's website,which has links for all versions.

Hey guys I have successfully rooted my att onex 2.20 via the new root method. I also have install twrp recovery. Now what version of super user do I download from their website so I can flash it to my device? The arm or the x86?
Stop right there. Did you see a superuser.apk for download on this forum? DON'T GO AROUND FLASHING RANDOM CRAP! If it's not in this forum (att one x and one xl) it's not for your phone.
If you're rooted you already have it installed. Check it with an app called root checker.
If it says you're not rooted, flash a custom ROM (that you found in the dev section) and you will be.

Just get it from the play store. Once you're rooted, no need to flash superuser from recovery.

Are you on stock with twrp installed?
I believe it was a temp root, so root is gone after you reboot, but it allowed for a permanent boot loader unlock.
you will need to flash an su binary package and then download a superuser app from the play store.
Or go flash ViperXL or something
If you are on a custom Rom it is rooted

I agree. Just flash a stock rooted rom from the development section of our at&t one x forums. You often get a few other minor tweaks for free too.
It says fail when flashing. What do I do now?
I figured as much. It's a CWM zip.. which is why I said to make a backup. I couldn't find a twrp. I'll keep looking

Success!!!! When I tried to install supersu from the mark though it couldn't update the binaries. So I had to install superuser then run supersu and grant it root permission from superuser so that it could update. Then after it update I uninstalled superuser. I decided to add that just in case someone else finds it usefull.

I'm pretty positive you'll want to odin route 66 for your model. Then download the unlock bootloader app from market if verizon not sure other carrier but then goo manager to flash twrp recovery. After you have completed the odin. Youll be on k3 if verizon already rooted. Then open unlock app. Click unlock. Then open goo and hit menu button on phone for the option to install open script recovery. Bam go backup and enjoy

Download the superuser zip ( look in Google) reboot into recovery and flash it
... If you really did root it, then it'll work. If not, read a little more because you did something wrong. Not meaning to sound like a ****, but honestly you should read everything before attempting this. It really is easy. Flash the old bootchain and then If you would've download the rootdebugfs it pretty much does everything automatic. Then unlock your downloader, install a recovery and voila..

I'm guessing that you won't be doing that again! Next time, just install SuperSU without doing anything with superuser. SuperSU will become the default (Alpha Male)!

Not sure I didn't use that sunshine method when I did mine there is a manual method that was free I used back then. I thought you had to install towel root first before you could use sunshine correct? If you installed towelroot and you are rooted you may have to download super user from the market so that way you can run Flashify and run your recovery image. When you run flashify does it ask you to grant root where you can push ok?

Good call root checker from the market will definitely let you know if you're rooted. Like I said you may have to download super user from the market. I couldn't imagine sunshine not rooting the device. But once again I didn't use that method either so I'm not a hundred percent sure how it works

Looks like this tool kit would give you the ability to root through windows. Obviously you won't have to use the unlock or any of that since you're already done with that through sunshine.

Just get a copy of fastboot for the MAC, there are copies floating around the web. Or you can just download the Android SDK, it will have adb and fastboot and they are both free. Then just open a terminal in mac. Browse to where the fastboot file is, copy the TWRP .img file to the same folder, and run ./fastboot flash recovery nameOfRecoveryFile (where nameOfRecoveryFile is the name of the .img TWRP file you downloaded). That will flash the device directly.

Adb is definitely a good thing to have and learn, I just want to say that as long as your rooted you can use flashify from the play store to flash recoveries on this phone, I do it all of the time. It's the fastest and easiest way.
Thanks for all the help guys. I'll check that out.

To get root after using Sunhine you need to flash SuperSU in recovery. So you have to get the recovery on your phone first and the only way is in fastboot.
Once you have fastboot set up there is no easier and safer way to flash recoveries and it gives you many options for trouble shooting to boot.
Invest some time to get fastboot working on your Mac. You'll thank yourself later if and when you run into some trouble. To have a working fastboot connection to your Android device is absolutely essential if you start flashing custom software IMHO.
GooManager is no longer supported for flashing TWRP and be careful with Flashify, TWRP manager and similar apps. People have managed to flash stuff to the wrong partition using apps like that. And that will not happen in fastboot....
