Hi
I have the rogers version of the skyrocket called the GII lte. my phone is rooted and have installed the CWM recovery. The OTA upgrade of jelly bean by rogers doesn't work anymore.
1. is there a way i can install the newest jelly bean image from rogers with the CWMN recovery?
or
2. can i return to stock with the latest jelly bean?
I know there are lots of talent on this board. Please help.
Thanks,
Vincom has provided a zip of the stock Rogers jb in the development forum. You can use that in cwm.
What was the best before sliced bread?
Thank you for directing me to Vincom's post. I follow his directions using odin 1.85 and flashed the 4.12 rogers's image.

So I bought this version of the 300T from amazon <LINK> Is there any difference between this version of the 300T and the other version? I would also like to root my tablet for connecting my ps3 controller, ad free and titanium backup. My tablet is stock and fresh out of the box and has an ota update waiting to be downloaded and installed.
I assume this is the ota JB update. I won't install it yet until I get some advice.. .Posting the tablets info so you know what I have. Under about tablet I show> Android Version 4.0.3, Kernel version 2.6.39.4, build number IMLK7K.US_epad 9.4.3.30. What steps do you recommend I take in order to root this? If updating to ota JB makes it dangerous to root, (something about brickable and "unbrickable" methods or firmwares?) can I just root the ICS build and then install a JB rom? Thanks guys!
If you're planning to use a custom rom (which you're going to want to do anyways), then i suggest doing the update, then unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP and flash CleanRom 2.6.1 Inheretence (i run mine with the stock kernel and its super smooth and fast, especially for games). No need to root as CleanRom is already a rooted ROM. And as far the GOLD edtion vs the regular edition most have, there's really nothing different...other that the color, there's really nothing more to the Gold edition.

Awesome thanks so much. Which guide would you suggest I follow in order to unlock the bootloader, root and install the rom?

No need to root.
Just install the unlocking tool found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697227
Then flash TWRP found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672108
Then make a backup and install CleanRom 2.6.1 Inheretence found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012560
Sorry for some reason when i try to do a hyperlink its not letting me.

I hope You didn't update to jelly bean yet. Whoever replayed missed a really important step.
Nvflash.
I missed out on this too, it only works with Ice Cream Sandwhich. Its for if you ever brick ur tab to something you can't fix urself. You use NV flash and it can supposably unbrick anything.
And the tf300 is weird. You can't flash Jelly Bean roms on Ice Cream Sandwhich and you can't flash Ice Cream Sandwhich roms on Jelly Bean. Unless said so by dev.. its because Asus messed with our bootloader.
Also with NV flash, you can update to Jelly Bean. Then downgrade back to Ice Cream Sandwhich. But without nvflash you can't downgrade once on Jelly Bean. So if you updated you can't use nvflash.
If this helped, don't forget about the thanks button

Says: Based on Official Asus Jellybean 4.1.1 / US 10.4.4.20, with JB 4.2 Google Apps and is ODEX ED!
I presume you don't need to downgrade back to ICS for the cleanrom and do the nvflash you are talking about?

You don't have to downgrade to ICS to flash a JB ROM, you can just flash it over that. Not really understanding your question.
Follow this guide to root/unlock/flash custom recovery, then flash cleanrom in your custom recovery of choice.

Does anyone have a link to a download of the official Rogers JB RUU? (Not having any luck searching for it.)
I'm trying to find it for back-up purposes and also to pull the PSM certs for it to use with a non-stock ROM.
Thanks in advance.
AFAIK, no jelly bean RUUs for this phone have been released yet.
Hey everyone
I've only ever hacked my phones one way, from stock to custom. Today the 4.1.2 official firmware came out for the Bell S2 i9100, and I'd like to give it a go. I'm expecting that I won't get an OTA update since I'm modded, and there's nowhere under the "about phone" section for me to tell it to look for an update.
What is the easiest way to get back to stock? Do I need to download the new 4.1.2 and flash via Odin? Is there a way to tell my phone to go back to stock, and then do the update?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hi
I have htc sensation locked version , and i am new to rooting.
To root the device do i need to unlock and s-off first?
I am actually not aware of these terms.
Rooting ,unlocking and s-off all these mean the same or do we have to follow a unlock process first and root
I have officialy updated to ICS.
is rooting just to update to higher OS version or
even if we move from ICS unrooted to ICS rooted will there be performance upgrage?
Can some one provide me steps /links to unlock/s-off/root..in the order if all these are different
