So i looked everywhere and haven't been able to find a answer to this issue.
Last night got the OTA Gingerbread update. Wasn't thinking about it and went ahead and accepted it. Of course clockwork recovery made this not work. So today i looked to go through the process of either unrooting my G2 and restoring or installing the update manually. I have had no luck with either. When i try to unroot my phone, for some reason i cannot get the SU command to work. It says permission denied. (This did work when i originally rooted my phone) I have never installed any roms so i still have all stock android. I still have S-OFF so i tried the thread that explained how he did it manually. Did not work. From his guide it says I do not have the stock 2.2 update but i in fact do. I have version 2.2 of android. I really just want to update to gingerbread and move on my way. It would be nice to go ahead and unroot because i never really took advantage of it anyways but in the unroot guides I get stuck at either clockwork recovery wont flash the image and fails out or when i try to follow the guide on the unlockr for unrooting using a hex editor and when i try to export my image I get /dev/block/mmcblk0p17: cannot open for read: permission denied which the only fix was to get the SU command to work.
I am totally stuck so I am just leaving all the details i could leave. Thanks ahead of time.
I fixed this. Thank you!
So i had rooted my amaze earlier and every thing was great removed my bloat and went along my way, since the 12th my phone kept telling me it had the update to do so i clicked install but since clockwork was my recovery the phone did not want to do the update so. i decided to unroot my phone and try to restore but nothing seemed to be the same can some one help me out i cannot get su-2.3.6.3-ef-signed.zip to run right to root. All i know about this stuff is how to follow directions so
I have tried to look for this but can't seem to find info on this, maybe I'm not searching for the right thing, if anyone can point me in the right direction that would be fantastic.
I keep getting a msg on my phone that there is a software update on my phone, I go to install the update, it downloads it, then says my phone needs to be restarted. it restarts and I get to the CWM boot screen... then tells me it failed to update my phone. I'm assuming it isnt working due to the fact my phone is rooted. any suggestions on how to's to do this?
Thank you

If you want a samsung update you have to flash a stock rom without root with Odin. You could also use Mobile Odin Pro for flashing a newer firmware and still keep root. You get the firmware here www.sammobile.com/firmware.
Disable Update
That sounds like a bit of a process that I'm not looking to get into right now... until then, is there a way to disable the update notification so that it doesn't keep alerting me that there is an update? it's starting to get rather annoying, it keeps pooping up from time to time.
You can freeze or remove the Update app. An app that doesn't exist cannot give you notifications.
It's not needed for the phone's correct functioning.
Flashing through Odin + Re-Rooting is a procedure of roughly 5 minutes, 4 of which for the firmware transfer and double-checking of the input.
Update CWM and re-run the root process

I had the same issue. I had rooted the phone using an older version of CWM. In this version OTA updates download but fail to install after booting to recovery.
Download the latest versions of CWM from here and re-run the rooting process. The newer version of CWM (1.5 and up) supports OTA. Worked a charm for me!
Or you can just plug the handset into your pc and update with kies. You will need to reroot following this though.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I rooted my z2 (.167 4.4.4) and then let it update back to kitkat which kept the root (though i cant update supersu).
How would i go about installing a recovery (dual?) now since i missed that step before. would i need to downgrade again?
if so ill just leave it for now as im not going through that process again

Thank you I'll check it out when I get back from work.
I used Wugfresh' root installer before and it worked like a charm. You can't get any OTA's with it though. Since I wanted Android 7, I wanted to unroot, install the OTA and reroot using Wugfresh' client. I already did this before when I wanted to upgrade to Android 6. Then everything went well and I was done in an hour.
This time however, I'm stuck. When it needed to reboot after succesfully installing Android 7.1.1, I got set to the No Command screen. After some googling I found out that you had to go to the bootloader first, and then go to Recovery. I got that far, but now I have no clue on what to do.
Rebooting from there doesn't work (obviously). It seems logical to me that I have to install TWRP, but the zip file is not there anymore to install it. Is there a way to still get this zip file on my phone while in recovery mode, and is this the solution to my problem? I also found the format option in TWRP. Does that get rid of all the TWRP stuff and bring me back to complete stock, so I can go back to rooting everything again? I'd be happy to do so, since right now I'm sitting with nothing but a dead Android.
Thank you so much for your help in advance!
