hi everyone, i have unlocked and rooted my htc one and installed the google play rom (version 4.2.2)
now i want to update it to 4.3, i am just wondering if i flash the newer ROM will i lose all the stuff on the phone, or does it simply update the OS?
If doing an OEM update then I don't believe you'd lose everything on the device. However, it is always better to be on the side of caution so backup your data through Google.

If you manage to update over-the-air, you will very probably lose root but not your data. Need to re-root afterwards and a Nandroid just in case doesn't hurt either.

Hey guys...I have a rooted nexus s currently on Miui. I am wishing to go back to stock so I can get the official ICS rom from Google.
I wish to unroot my phone. I will flash back to my stock rom. Now, because I have all my apps, how do I unroot without wiping my phone? Since I will be unrooted titanium won't work. Would superoneclick work?
So my question is......(once I am back on my stock rom) ....how to I unroot without wiping my phone? Would superoneclick unroot button work? Please help. Thanks.

Sorry, I have read that you will lose all your data when you lock or unlock. Make a good backup.

No...I don't mind if it is still unlock. Infact...I would prefer that ...i just simple want to unroot so I can update to the ota ICS when Google release it

OK, then I suppose you just uninstall superuser and re-flash stock images of everything but data. I wonder if you need to restore /etc/install-recovery.sh? Actually renaming that back to original and rebooting should install stock recovery, but flashing the stock recovery image file will also work.

Why don't you keep it rooted and install rom like any other when it is released? So you don't have to wait for it to roll to your device

Why not just stay rooted and wait the few hours till some posts a rooted stock rom? I'm as anxious as anyone but I'm pretty sure I can hold off.....
Long days and pleasant nights............

Does anyone from Brazil (or some near country) received the ICS OTA? I'm back to 2.3.6 - just to see how the update is going here - and not even a clue about the OTA. Tried check in, clearing data of Google Framework, etc... I know I can flash the OTA but would be nice to see some better update support here
Thanks!

Ha..ha....ha...... not funny
Did you flash a zip that contains stock kernel, stock rom and stock recovery? And of course did the superuser app appear in the app drawer after first boot?

hehe im not a noob on it. i have installed the images from google ( https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#soju ) without superuser, so im on stock 2.3.6 with bootloader unlocked only and CWM touch (this shouldnt matter for OTA AFAIK).
EDIT: oops, forgot to delete the install-recovery.sh so im with stock bootloader as well

Hi! I'm from Uruguay.
First of all, lets make it clear that I'm a Big NOOB on android. My Nexus S is my first android phone.
I've a brand new Nexus S, updated with Android 2.3.6. I've tried to update over OTA, but the phone displays that the software is up to date, giving me no chance to update to ICS.
I didn't make any modification in the software of my phone.
Thanks.
Sorry, new guy here. I was getting tired of waiting for Jelly Bean to arrive on my GS3, so I decided to install a leaked build. I want to update my build to the most recent one (preferably the official one), is there a way to do that without losing my applications and application data?

I'm using BLK1, so how would I update it? I've tried checking Software Update on the "About Phone" and nothing comes up.

You won't get the ota because Verizon doesn't recognize the version you are on. the best way to where you are is to flash it I Odin. Follow section five here

Thanks! Also, how would I save my applications? It says that it is a full wipe. I have Titanium Backup Pro but not sure on how to restore backups. Does Titanium Backup save app data as well?

Yes it does. By full wipe it formats internal sd card so make sure to backup anything you want to keep

It's a "no-wipe" version, but the preferred method is to full wipe when changing to a new rom it seems. Less possible problems show up.
Wondering if I make the jump via ODIN, will I still be able to use TouchWiz?

Don't really understand, sorry.
But only a guess what you really ask;
If you flash official firmware manually with Odin, TW will remain untouched and the default launcher, unless you instal an alternative launcher from Google Play and set it as default.

however, if I do flash an official firmware, will I loose my warranty?? (I am deciding between a brand new one and used one)

I'm no expert on regional warranty, but I see no reason why you should lose warranty. After all, the firmware is an official release....

I've heard about a android 4.3.3 update coming but I've rooted my Nexus 5 recently so I'm still kinda new to all this. I was wondering I would update to this when it comes out while keeping my Kernal and all that good stuff. Thanks!
read the stickies, the ota one will tell you all you need to know. As for me, I'm rooted, stock kernel, and custom recovery. I plan on flashing the next update in recovery.
also why do you want to downgrade to 4.3.3? when launched last november, this phone shipped with 4.4.

Don't be a ****. He obviously meant 4.4.3
Same. I am rooted with framework. So I uninstall framework from the app. Put flash file on nexus 5. Boot into recovery and flash as normal? Do I need to clear data and will I lose root?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
There's no need to wipe data. And, yes, you'll loose root, so just need to re-root it again
So I just flash on top of it? And would it not be hard to re-root because it's a new android version?

Once you're updated, you just need to flash the supersu zip again to gain root access.. No, it shouldn't be hard to re-root!
