So I'm running Aura Rom Based On: 2.3.3 GRI54
Kernel Version: Netarchy 1.2.5 CFS
Radio Version: KB3
I got an system update message this to update to 2.3.4, firstly will this update work? Will it restore my phone to stock? What are my dangers but accepting and applying this update being that my phone is rooted?
You will be able to download it but you won't be able to flash it. For ota updates, you need to be completely stock.

Thanks again.....
ok have a rooted Nexus S I9020XXKD1 GRJ22 running [email protected] #9 kernel.
rooted and bootloader unlocked.
I'd like to finally upgrade to Jelly Bean stock or custom rom and I am a little unsure if I'll need to first revert back to 2.3.6 stock then goto ICS then goto Jelly Bean...ect.
What is the easiest way to go from 2.3.4 -> JellyBean?
so I guess this is a GT-I9020T (3G) so I could essentially just flash the stock image located at
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
choosing Jellybean from
Factory Images "soju" for Nexus S (worldwide version, i9020t and i9023)
if I wanted straight stock which would probably lose root and clockwork ect.. anyone confirm this?
or I could find a modded rom and just flash that instead to retain root?
You can do what you want.
Flash a rom with a root already.
Flash the stock images with fastboot. Flash or boot custom recovery and flash supersu or su.zip and have stock rooted.
You have a unlocked nexus. You don't "lose" root period
Thank you guys in advance for your help but I just had a few questions. I am running 4.4.2 currently with the stock rom rooted and unlocked bootloader. I have however issued a few Mods such as extreme power saving and built in tether. Can I just load the 4.4.4 firmware and radios, switch back to stock recovery and take the OTA to 4.4.4 without having to wipe anything or since I have used some mods do I now have to wipe my device and put everything back after getting the 4.4.4 update. The reason I ask is I like having the stock features while just using google now launcher on top of sense. Also would any of you have a recommendation on a ROM to achieve this same thing so I dont have to go through this everytime I want to take the newest OTA if it is not possible to take without wiping.

Flash the ruu here. That will get you to 4.4.3 the easy way and make you 100% stock so you can take the ruu. Then flash twrp and flash su or the rooted Rom of your choosing.
The RUU is one way to go, although I would never update via OTA...
Another would be to flash the firmware and radios from here:

And then Scott's rooted stock rom from here:

He usually has them up a few hours after a new OTA has been released. Even better - try his stock, debloated CleanROM once it's out.
This way you can keep your recovery. You can even try to just flash the 4.4.4 firmware and radios and see if it runs your current 4.2 ROM ok. But I would not update the rom from version to version without a wipe.
The setup is the price to pay for getting a new and hopefully better Android version.
I know this a stupid question but i really dont know, and i searched google and here and couldnt find an answer
Please help me
Basically you start from downgrading your tablet to 4.4 version via ODIN it's an app to manage flashing rom's to android devices. After you have downgraded you run towelroot. After this you get FireFly app to install current version. While preserving root. Ah, you will need to get wirmwares go to sammobile.com
I have successfully rooted my SM-P905 with Lollipop for like a month now. The procedure is the same as in KitKat.
You flash the Lollipop firmware, you flash latest TWRP and then the SuperSU flashable zip. Now I 'am using the latest SuperSU beta 2.49 since an app that I use (Button Pro) requires it. But also the stable release SuperSU 2.46 worked.
I didn't use CF Autoroot.
Could you explain better all the passages to root lollipop and where get all the files needed, thanks in advice!
I screwed up my stock rom somehow and need to reflash to get it back to stock. I was on the latest update. Anyone know what is the best method to get back?
