are they safe to install? ive never been able to get into recovery since i updated so will the OTA be able to boot into some form of stock recovery and install safely?

Ok, I am running a stock rom rooted with no frozen apps. When the OTA tries to install it fails and when I try to use Kies the message " Your device does not support the update of Software via Kies" or something to that effect. I have never unlocked the bootloader, flash roms, or installed custom recovery on the device. Could I possible use OTA rootkeeper to unroot then check to see if the OTA will download and install? If that does work would I be able to restore the root? I don't guess I really need the new OTA but I want to be able to get JB when it comes out without any issues. Just as an added not it is currently running VRALG7...

Same happend to me. I had to unroot downgrade from the HD to G7 or G1. Then i could do the update to HE.
I was just wondering, is the only way to be able to receive updates from Samsung is to be on the stock rom, I currently own a rooted Asus tablet with a stock rom But I can no longer receive Updates through Asus because of unlocked bootloader . So all in all I guess I'm asking how do the updates work on this phone with, root,unlocked boot loader, stock/custom roms. Thanks.

It's all the same for all devices, unlocked bootloader you don't get OTA. If you're using custom/stock rom with unlocked bootloader, you just have to wait for a repack stock rom or update custom rom. If you have rooted pure stock rom you should able to receive OTA and use OTA root keeper to preserve root. If you modify your build.props or removed system apps, the update will failed. Hope that answer your quesiton.

So from what I understand as long as Im on the stock rom even if its rooted I can receive updates and I need to use ota root keeper to continue to be rooted after an OTA update, correct?

I should probably add, if I had just rooted and got twrp and made a backup of the stock rom, then flashed a custom rom and if I wanted to update could I just reflash the backup of the stock in twrp to be able to update, this would be for if they Didn't have a custom rom out for the latest update. As of right now I have a tablet on ics but I cannot update to jb because I don't have the jb boot loader or whatever, but say I was to flash a stock Asus rom on ics And use OTA rootkeeper Would I then be able to flash jb custom roms? I assume the OTA update from ics To jb installs the correct boot loader instead of having to do it manually from a cimputer, big thanks for any help.
Hi I'm new to the nexus series. I have just tried to flash a cm11 rom and then back to stock. Now I cannot use OTA to get 4.4.2 update
Just manually flash it with whatever custom recovery you have installed or sideload it with adb.
Check out this guide. The method depends on what you want (100% stock? Just the update?...)
Hey everyone,
So for the past couple of days I've been getting the notification that 5.1.1 has been downloaded and is ready to install, but I'm running a rooted stock ROM with CWM and ElementalX kernel, so I wasn't sure what would happen if I accepted the update. So my question to you all is just that; what will happen if I OTA update? I would imagine I'll lose root access and have to re-root, but would the OTA also flash a stock kernel and get rid of CWM? Or will the update create a load of problems since I'm not completely stock?
Thanks in advance for your help.
The OTA update will fail.
As of Lollipop, you have to have everything completely stock (including the recovery) to take an OTA update. You're better off just flashing another pre-rooted ROM or custom ROM which has been updated to 5.1.1.

Hey,
i have a rooted opo and want to update with OTA.
But it just gets me into the TWRP Recovery and doesnt proceed.
I have Version:
cynogen os
12.1..1- Y0G8DAS2K1
5.1.1
what would be the easiest version?
You can't ota with modified system and you need stock recovery, quickest way would be to backup, flash the latest cyan build, otherwise unroot, flash stock recovery and try ota again.
Where can i get the newest cyan? Searched a bit but i could only find a non flashable rom.
Full wipe is ok for me.
You can get the latest version here https://cyngn.com/support you have to flash it via fastboot then reinstall TWRP and also will have to install SuperSU for root again.
