Here is the 4.53.651.1 OTA I pulled off my phone last night. it has the lastest superuser.apk included and it is completely stock no modifications done to it at all. I have included a link to a deodex version and a odexed version.
Any feedback on how they run is appreciated and any questions are welcomed.
deodex version I have tested the odexed version I have not.
Update:
This doesn't flash the new radio yet, I will be adding it here soon so please be patient while that is done.
Update 2:
Ok I have uploaded a PC36IMG.zip to flash via hboot to upgrade you to the newest radio, just upload it to the root of your sd-card and reboot into hboot and make sure to choose yes when it asks.
Latest Radio PC36IMG.zip
4.53.651.1-deodex-signed.zip
4.53.651.1-odexed-signed.zip
Here are the steps I took to achieve this OTA if anyone is curious
Bought new evo to replace my epic
Ran revolution to obtain s-off
flashed amon_ra
booted to recovery made nand backup
flashed su*.apk (beta4)
rebooted phone
pulled boot.img out of the nand backup
ran adb pull /system/ /OTA
deodexed it to create a deodex version
put together the odex and deodex verions
No need to PM an Evo forum mod. I frequent the Evo forums daily, purely based on the fact that there is ALWAYS a thread that needs cleaned due to certain individuals acting like a bunch of kids.
So please, lets keep the discussion civilised and on topic.
Thank you for the clean up.

Sweet, thank you for your feedback glad everything flashes fine.
For those of us that are not interested in this rom, should we flash the new radios anyway? Using Synergy as my Main rom and others with Boot Manager.

I'm working on a custom rom right now that will have sense 2.1 with lockscreen 3.0 with the messaging apk from sense 3.0, it's based off the latest OTA with bloat removed a few mods added like 4-in-1 boot and battery %

Your can find the answer to your first question here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16461907&postcount=2
As far as flashing a radio make sure your on a sense rom, there and plenty to choose from. You have to have S-Off otherwise it wont work. Put the PC36IMG file on the root of your sdcard, boot into bootloader and follow the instructions. Update profile/prl after the radio updates.
Hope that helps you out.

Seems like it. I flashed the one from invisiblek's modem thread with the filename VRLI5.modem.zip and it's working fine for me.
EDIT: Never mind, that's not the modem. According to this post it seems to be related to power management. I never flashed it, unless it was included with the modem zip.

I'm still new to Samsung, so someone correct me if I'm way off-base, but the gist I got was that when a new rom (or leak) comes from verizon, it includes rom+kernel+rpm+modem... which on an HTC device we called rom+kernel+firmware+radio. So my understanding is that if you just flash the new radios without the new firmware that matches up with what your dev used as a base, there could be compatibility issues.
(Much more knowledgeable people discussed this in the Cleanrom thread as in those links above).
i understand all of that...just trying to figure out what exactly is rpm. thx !

In simple terms if I understand correctly it installs files that you don't get in flashing a ROM. Gives you an option if you don't want to go back to stock via Odin and OTA back up to current version.

If you Odin to a prior version of stock, it should be included in the zip which simultaneously changes the modem. The reason an rpm is being discussed is because when flashing custom roms and modems, this isn't updated. Think of an Odin flash of older images as "reversing an update," all those same files are added when you accept an OTA, so they'll be changed if you Odin an older stock image.
If I'm wrong, I'll gladly redact my comment but that's what I understand from this discussion.

Thanks, it's starting to make more sense to me. I'm not unfamiliar with root but typically only do so to eliminate bloat, otherwise I'm happy with stock builds. The JB leak changed things a little so I want to get a better handle on what I'm installing and why.
stable
Why can't this just be simple.....I just want a good stable everything and then leave it alone.....Will that ever happen?

flash back to stock and leave your device alone...pretty simple.
So if we revert to a ROM backup, do we need to manually turn back the rpm as well, like we do with the modem? Sounds like we need vrali5 for jb leak. I will play around with jb for awhile though go back to ICS for everyday stability use, until I find a jb I like. Do I need to revert the rpm when I restore ICS? Where do I find older rpms. Thanks.

Hello
Will a Samsung keyboard apk pulled from an international galaxy S2 i9100 4.1.2 rom work on our skyrocket JB leak UCLL3 ? what might be also needed to make it work ?
I need to know if someone tried that before I begin to extract the rom files from the stock i9100 tar.

You could use a stock CWM zip than the tar. Try and see.. Out of curiosity, why do you stay on ucll3 when there's official Rogers?

I need the apk from the middle east tar, so I will have to extract the tar to get the system files using linux extractor. ..I know what I'm doing but was curious if some one did it before ...

That explains it. The rom by vincom is very much stock, i think he switched out the kernel for a better one and you won't be needing rogers bloat in middle east.
If xcrazydx is antisocial then you have a major attitude problem and i have a patience issue But this is all irrelevant, you should just try because there's not too many middleeasterners here

No. .Vincom did not just change the kernel. ..I tried his cwm flashable rom and that's not the way I'm comfortable with. ..I like to custom the stock to my liking. . He removed so many things from the official rom. It is like his superlite roms..I like to do things by myself if I'm going stock. .. Sure I don't need the Rogers bloat but stil I need the arabic language which he deleted from his cwm flashable jb rom.And it is not about middle east or not , it's about a keyboard from The galaxy s2 being compatible or not with skyrocket..btw I'm not living in the middle east..

Okay. here's vincoms CWM zip "FULL BLOAT, NOTHING WAS REMOVED AFAIK". So it's nothing like the superlite roms.
You said that you need to unpack middleeastern tar and try that keyboard on a skyrocket (which only has between 3-4 languages and it NEVER had arabic). Only AOSP/AOKP roms have all languages. Maybe there will be a confilct or issue with languague compatibility. Since there aren't too many middleeasterners here, i'm thinking not too many has tried this specific operation. I don't know about others but i don't care if you're a middleeasterner, i'm talking technology not geography. You're a bit edgy man, calm done, we're not out to get you wallah habibi :good:

Hi All,
I am a Newb, but have basic knowledge. So I rooted my phone but left the standard OS on the phone. It's Rogers Galaxy S2 LTE (Skyrocket) version. So now there's a new OS update. So on the phone I downloaded the update and the phone reboots to CWMR once rebooted. I don't know what to select in that menu? Anyhow have any ideas. The update does not install.
thanks
You need to be stock to receive updates. You need stock recovery

What version of ICS are you running? To take the update you need the stock recovery of the version of ICS you are running. Or you can flash the new jb official rogers rom that is listed in the dev thread via cwmr. Check out mohans thread

You can't update with a modified recovery. I'd highly recommend checking out a ROM from one of our devs instead instead of just going through stock updates, you already have the recovery and root in.

I'd say this is the safest thing. A rom made by the manufacturer who, logically, should know better about their own device than a community of voulenteer developers. It's rooted, official and has everything you need and more.
It's the same rom you got via OTA/Kies but repacked for CWM. :victory:

Made the zip. I'm going to sleep as it uploads. Link will be up in the morning (New York time). Good night!
If this is a flashable zip, will it really be the same as converting to a Google edition? Wouldn't we need something to flash from Odin or something else to get that effect? I'm looking to completely convert over. I thought flashable zips were just ROMs, and they didn't alter the phone like images you flash with Odin do.
For example, right now we have an HTC splash screen, and all that. I know that the HTC One Google Edition devices boot up and instead of saying HTC, they say Google just like a Nexus device. What we have now just shows HTC then it shows the Google bootloader which comes with the ROM obviously, but what do we need that will alter some of the earlier parts of the boot process before any ROM kicks in?
But yea, not to ask a noob question, is this what I am looking for, or will I have to wait a little while longer for a complete Odin flashable image to become available?

Odin is a Samsung tool not for HTC. Flashing a ZIP/ROM is doing what Odin did without the name

If this is a flashable zip, will it really be the same as converting to a Google edition? Wouldn't we need something to flash from Odin or something else to get that effect? I'm looking to completely convert over. I thought flashable zips were just ROMs, and they didn't alter the phone like images you flash with Odin do.
For example, right now we have an HTC splash screen, and all that. I know that the HTC One Google Edition devices boot up and instead of saying HTC, they say Google just like a Nexus device. What we have now just shows HTC then it shows the Google bootloader which comes with the ROM obviously, but what do we need that will alter some of the earlier parts of the boot process before any ROM kicks in?
But yea, not to ask a noob question, is this what I am looking for, or will I have to wait a little while longer for a complete Odin flashable image to become available?

Yes it's possible to convert your HTC one into a Google Play Edition by changing the ModelID of the device and flashing the stock ROM. If you wish, I can write up a guide on how to do that later. You'll need S-OFF

What is the MEID of the Google edition? There is a guide floating around on the T-Mobile HTC one forum, but another one would be very helpful.

Okay, so I googled what I needed to know. I found out what S-OFF was...I thought after unlocking the boot loader and rooting, you were as good as gold, hah. So I looked online, figured out how to get S-OFF, and I did it with revone and adb.
I did find this tutorial on changing the HTC One model ID, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322820 but I think it could be simplified honestly lol, it has way too many big pictures and just too much going on. It doesn't really explain the numbers they are changing it to, but what numbers to use and where to put them. I think me alongside others would appreciate a guide showing how to change the model ID, and what the model ID is for the Google Edition.
Thank you in advance
