error 7 - but with CWM recovery

Hi,
I have nexus s 9023 and trying to manually install JB, I get the annoying error 7 (apply_patch_check).
I have STOCK 4.0.4 but the bootloader is unlocked, i have root and a different kernel.
I read a lot of threads about this problem but I understood that having the CWM recovery should prevent the problem,
but unfortunatly I still get it.
Does anybody knows what should I do in order to fix this and get the JB update?
Thanks!

You're lucky that you got update. That's odd error.
What's your location? None else has received update yet. Try factory resetting or flash stock ROM.

But if I install the stock rom, CWM will you it replaced by stock recovery? (because I think the problem comes from CWM for update)

Can I installs the recovery only via fastboot ?

Yes you can flash CWM via fastboot, but you need to do steps again to be able to flash it.

[Q] Lock Bootloader again

Hi,
how can i relock the Bootloader from the Mate 7?
Is it possible? I want to sell it and it would be nice if the new owner can do OTAs.

You do not need to relock your bootloader to receive OTA ..

Ok thank u for the answer. so i need only the stock recovery? Or am i wrong?

You need recovery compatible with rom came from..
For example ; if u are on 127 and u wanna go back to 120 u need to flash 120 recovery first .. then flash 120 ROM

Do I need stock recovery to CHECK if updates are available?

Well, you can manually check it will pops up once huawei sends OTA ..
u can have CWM but u wont be able to upgrade.. you will need stock recovery for update OTA..
to be honest custom recovery is technically useless for us bcos no custom roms are avail. it just good for rooting.. nothing else..
System knows when phone has been rooted ... here below

Thanks for the information (and pic). Will flash stock recovery back only when/if there are updates.
CWR will be useful if we (like me) do something stupid and then restoring from backup.

[Guide][Receive OTA after root][keep apps/data][GT-I9500][5.0.1]

a lot of users are having this problem and if you want to receive an OTA you have to flash the stock unrooted firmware that will cause lose of data.
this guide will show you how to receive OTA again without losing your stuff
This works on GT-I9500 ONLY! (Lollipop 5.0.1 Recovery)
This also should work on any other model, but you have to replace the recovery with your model!
Steps:
1- Go to SuperSU and scroll down to "Full unroot" then reboot.
2- Download This file to PC and extract it.
3- Go to download mode by pressing the power key + home key + volume down key at the same time, then press volume up.
4- Flash the file via Odin (AP) or (PDA)
go to check the system status, you will find it Official
you can now receive OTA.
Q&A:
What is OTA (Over The Air)? Its an update which you can receive over wifi or mobile data.
What do i get from OTA? Well, if you root your device you wont be able to receive an update again, unless from flashing firmware via Odin.
- Why im still on custom status? Because you modified your system.
- What kind of modifying? Installing busybox, editing or deleting or changing any app or file system.
and some times xposed.
- How do i restore the old app? You can restore them by flashing firmware or by restoring Nandroid backup.
- Then what is the use of your guide? Well my guide helps in first place the rooted not the modded onces.
and always do Nandroid of the original system apps+data
you are still having your apps, data, pics, vids, etc...
you can root again at anytime.
check my thread for rooting if you want
im not responsible for any bricks

thank you...

Your welcome!

Hi there,
Thanks for the guide, just thinking you may want to say what option in Odin to put the file and what OTA stands for, for the noobs.
Just a thought.

Thanks

At some point the update maybe canceled, because the update checks for the apps before the installation, always do a backup of your phone then remove what you want, after you want to update just restore the system folder from the backup

If you can see the stock recovery then check the SuperSU app again and maybe you are having a custom kernel

So i need to unroot it as well ? Anyway flashed via odin original stock russian lollipop rom just to check for any update and the flashed twrp and rooted it back. Just that it takes 10 mins or more to do all this. Thought your small flash file would work .

Updating Question

It says here that I cannot update if I rooted my phone,
Is there any way that I can update my phone with this new update, and not having any issues at all.
Kindly see attached file, I freaked out when I read this.
Sorry to trouble you guys, I'm just a newbie with this kind of rooting thing, seeking out help. Thanks

Up.. Please I need your help, I just want to know if it is safe or not. Or if there's any workaround with this one.
Thanks

If you have a root, do not try to update on usual way - can damage your phone!
