Woke up this morning to the new ota downloading. As of this time it is on ask me later.
I know enough to know that it could not be installed with root so I started reading the xda forums for the best method. I originally rooted with moto root, then later updated to pwnmymoto. I have also installed safestrap 3.63a and used xposed framework to allow unlock with NFC. My question is if I uninstall all of these (they all have the uninstall feature) can I install the ota? Sorry if I missed this some where else, but I havent seen anyone with a similar set up comment. Any help is greatly appreciated. I forgot to mention I have read about fxz with houseofmoto but have never used adb so am a little nervous to do this if not necessary.
Thanks,
JD

You will need to go back to stock. Otherwise you'll bootloop. You can remove the update zip from cache and place on your SD so you don't accidentally take the update. Try houseofmoto for returning to stock while saving data! Sry I don't have the link.

House of moto is a utility for fxz back to stock. You won't need to set up adb for that. Just download and set the proper files and run the utility. RockMyMoto by jcase is the exploit you will need to reroot once you take the upgrade. You WILL need adb for that as of now.

Thanks for the quick reply. I was leaning towards houseofmoto but wanted to see what was best.

Are you trying to root from stock ee4? The question was a little vague and I want to make sure before typing it all out.

Yes that's what im trying to do

I think there is a rooted stock ee4 in the development section. Let me see if I can find it. I think you would then just install using Odin with is in a sticky at the top.

Why do you want rooted stock ee4? To debloat?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1121201
Found this but seems like alot to go through just for root. Easier to find a debloated version and just add back in what you want. Im still new at this myself.
If you are only worried about root and do not want to flash a custom ROM you only need to:
1. Download CWM from this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112804.
2. Flash it to your phone using odin, make sure you selct PDA and uncheck auto-reboot. When finished boot straight into recovery just to make sure everything worked.
3. Install superuser from the market or download the .apk and flash through cwm. =)
That's it, if you have any questions about how to use odin please refer to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160580
Knew there was an easier way lol. Guess I learned another thing for today.

Not sure if you can achieve root on this phone without a custom kernel.
As far as I'm aware if you do go with a custom kernel when Verizon releases an update you will need to revert back to stock to be able to receive it.
If that's ok with you go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205428 and follow steps 1, 2a ,2b. you'll be sitting rooted and stock at that point. if you go with the pbj voodoo kernel (i'm using it) it will give you root and speed your phone up quite a bit. after that just download superuser from the market and go nuts.
I routed my skyrocket with the one click root. During setting it up afterwards I noticed the three gallery app was missing. I reinstalled the stock Rom to unroot. (Had problems but overcame them... different topic) Tried the superuser root method with the same results and noticed the buddy widget was also missing. Reloaded stock and haven't rooted since. Anyone have any ideas why I would lose apps and how to prevent it next time I try to root? Oh I did a Nandroid backup before the second root but the MD5 was corrupted when I tried to restore from it. Thanks inn advance for any help our suggestions.

fluke, I've never heard of this. U must have done something
The first time,I thought I may have accidentally deleted it, the second time I had just finished rooting and checked for the gallery right after that and it was missing again. It was there prior to rooting.

[/COLOR]How is it possible to accidentally delete the gallery? Rooting does not delete apps.....eother u flashed a rom with gallery missing or you deleted the gallery. And cant figure out how to get it back....so we need more info???? Be honest and elaborate please...
Flashing any rom. Would give u gallery back. Unless you found one
missing the gallery.
Use an alternate... I use QuickPic (free in Market.. or should I say PlayStore)... better and more reliable than Gallery.
Really. Thanks gpna check that put now.

Haha, Iv'e been doing the same. At first I thought It disappeared, but then realized it is not by the M's anymore since it starts with P now. Lol
Try rooting with the Odin method. Its in the dev section. Not is it only the best root method IMO, but it gets you familiar with Odin. Which is essential.

Superoneclick the second. Haven't really had time (or desire) to try it again.

Thanks but I flashed back to the original Rom. I'll keep it in mind since I might try too riot it again this weekend.

Hello everyone. So today I tried to root my phone for the first time and all was fine. I could download and use apps that required root access. Then I tried to flash CM 10.1.3, and that's where things got messy. After I flashed, it was saying that unauthorized software was on my phone, and I had to go to verizon. I figured this was because my bootloader unlock didn't work. So I tried flashing a stock 4.1.2 rom, and now my phone's just powercycling. Any ideas? Yes, I am new to this, feel free to yell at me for being an idiot for forgetting some obvious thing.
I think you need to Odin back to a stock build and then repeat the entire process of rooting, unlocking, etc.
I could also be wrong, so we'll get yelled at together.

You'e right lol
@Elerock, does powercycling = stuck at the Verizon LTE splash screen or boot animation? If so, boot into recovery (hold power, home, and volume up) then do a factory reset. Root and unlock following these directions.
Does anyone have Boost ics stock rom? My bootloader is unlocked and I have cwm but s-on. I don't have a way to get on a pc. Can I install through recovery with a nandroid or a .zip with s-on?
Sorry I didn't mean to post this in this thread. I'm not sure how to move it..
A moderator has to move it upon request. Yes, one is available on here, but you are S-On so you may have to pull the boot file from the backup, change name to boot.img then flash it using fastboot (which requires a pc)
However, I haven't been S-On in a long time so I could be wrong about the boot.img...
@russellvone could you elaborate for me.

Thanks for the quick reply! I know flashing probably wouldn't work and I already tried to use a jb nandroid from my brothers phone which didn't work which is why I was wondering if a stock ics unrooted would work
I'm not real sure what happened. All I did was do factory reset in cwm and now its stuck on the HTC quietly brilliant
Haha, that's simple, when you did a factory reset in CWM you formatted your partitions. Your boot.img is still intact but you have nothing on your data, system, etc so there is nothing to load which is why you are not getting past the screen. Only do a factory reset in a custom recovery when like flashing a Rom for example. Which version OS were you on originally before you wiped your phone out ....

I don't have an ICS backup, but I know @russellvone does. He keeps stuff like this on hand for just a situation like this one. However, you should only need to flash the system.img and be good after that. I recommend doing an OTA update in your settings once you get your device back up and going. We will be receiving 4.2.2 with Sense 5 soon.
Anyways, I tagged him as you can see. Just visit back here periodically to see if he replied back. He will, I guarantee you that. He will help you restore your device
Sent from my C525c using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Okay, thanks for the help! Much appreciated!!! Would I have to flash the system.img with fastboot or would it be in a nandroid?
You will use your custom recovery. He will explain the steps. .

You can use a JB backup but you will need the firmware.zip that comes in the JB OTA to flash in rebootRUU to complete the process on your device.
I sent a pm to russellvone about the situation so when he responds he should already be good to go to help you out.

Lol this stuff is so confusing. I'm still a noob on this phone haha. I wish there was something like mobile odin for HTC devices
Also, go S-Off so next time if something goes wrong like this you won't need a PC (unless it is something serious lol).

Yeah I've been checking this off and on. You guys are life savers!! Thanks alot!
Your boot.img is still intact so flashing that Rom should get you booted up just fine. If for any reason you get stuck on the HTC screen then you will need to extract the boot.img and flash it with fastboot (however that shouldn't be necessary since you are still on stock boot.img for ICS)

Okay gotcha. Seriously though thanks for all the help lol. I know this is probably getting annoying with all the questions
Everyone on XDA is a noob. Don't care what their skills are. Skills just mean they have more knowledge and experience in one area but it doesnt mean they know everything. So no worries with the questions. Ask away when need to. Though, try to post in the right location next time lol

You still can do with the thread instruction to root, what is important is what comes after.
Make sure you flash latest recovery for your devices after rooting, and then you'll happy to use any rom you like!
Thanks, u guys, however, I have another issue..after this update, I am unable to get to my developers option in settings, it keeps force closing...do u all happen to know work around for this?
