Hi, I installed this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797431 and as it replaces a few things (framework-res.apk, etc.)I was wondering if it's safe to update to the OTA JI6 update?

I have a D2G. I rooted it.
But it now wants to do a 2.4.3 update. of course the update fails when it reboots
So my question is, could i apply the update using the bootstrap. has anyone tried doing this, would it brick my phone if i tried.

You probably could if you remember to wipe data and cache, and you should probably get the Team Black Hat app and download the SBF/driver/RSD Lite files just in case.
Edit: Oh, the update file. If it's failing to install, you should probably just try the full install. I'm not sure why it wouldn't go through unless you're on stock, in which case, you HAVE to use full install.
I think he is talking about the official Verizon update. Not FRM...
When you rooted did you stop or remove any of the Blur apps? That will cause the update to fail. All of the Blurr must be there for the update to work.
If you used Z4Root to root your device, try to unroot the device with zroot and then try the update again.
You may have to re-install Zroot after it is completed to re-root the phone. But I did the update before I rooted almost the day I got the phone so I had not really done enough to notice if it wipes the device and data. My guess would be no!
Since I did this from the stock rom I did not bother to look but if the file is a zip file then chances are likely you can run it from the clockwork recovery.
But best bet is to unroot and then try it again before you go that route.
I would however get RSDLite and the stock SBF to have handy in case you run into problems.
You cannot apply the OTA update (I assume you are talking about 2.4.330 Verizon official OTA update) from the custom recovery. It must be instaled via stock recovery. But due to the way update is made (patch based) it will fail if there are alternations (missing files) in any of the system areas. You must restore all changes you made in /system/app (assuming you froze/delete some stock apps), if you are rooted it is ok, update will not bother (extra files in system do not break the checksum - update only checks original files. But if there is even a single file missing (deleted/renamed) in system area, update will fail to install. If you can't figure it out (what is missing) and update keeps failing, simply flash full SBF to return to stock, apply the OTA update then reroot and freeze/remove all apps that you don't want in system area.
Hi all,
Ive got the UK GB S3 and have rooted it to remove all bloatware etc...
I have sinced removed the root, so I can use barclays ping it,
recently a couple of OTA updates were pushed to my phone and with CWM installed
the phone obviously cannot apply the updates in download mode.
Is there any way to download the updates and install them to the phone manually?
(Ive removed kies - but can put it back on if required).
Thanks in advance

Either use Kies or flash the Update through Odin
Hi guys... hope that this post reads also someone from development. If it should be placed there, please move it.
So, here is my problem:
I`m having rooted Razr and OTA update comes to my region. I downloaded update and tried to update, but it failed. I didn't uninstall any of bloatware, just frozen it, but even after unfreezing it won't do update as well. I red some manuals and so on, so i removed bootstrap recovery also but still the same. Looks, that I need to re-install original FW to make it working - right?
I checked possibilities and there are not too many. RAZR utility 1.6 it is not possible download anywhere - links are mostly broken and 1.7 is for ICS only, so only options is using of RSDLite. I found following "tutorial" about RSDLite. I'm almost sure, that after update there wouldn't be possibility to update for a while, so I kept original downloaded OTA update ZIP, but do not know what to do with.
Could somebody say, if it is correct way how to update to ICS? Do I really needs to reflash original ROM and than try to update it to ICS via OTA? Is there some easy way to update if I have downloaded OTA update ZIP?
Some ideas?

Anyone have the latest OTA that i can use to flash back to stock? Right now I'm rooted but don't care whether it stays rooted or not. I've already switched phones so my tb probably won't pull in the latest ota if i flash an older ota to let it update itself.
Thanks
You can grab a rooted copy IN MY THREAD HERE.
Well I goofed up and soft-bricked my tablet. I managed to use the flash tool from Dell and reflash it to Jelly Bean. I have been checking for OTA updates and it says my system is up to date. I was running 4.4.2 before I had to reflash it. It is fully stock now and I have the zip package for the rooted OTA package that can be loaded and installed through fastboot, I think it is 4.3 however. Is it still possible to receive Software updates over the internet still on these?
EDIT: I just flashed it with the Venue_8_WiFi_KK4.4.2v1.33_FLASHPKG. I still don't know why it wouldn't just update on its own but this thread, I guess, could be marked as solved if possible.
