I have flashed different roms on my tf201, like WW, US, TW. but the OTA does not work at all. So is there a way to edit roms? so that the OTA can work. Thanks

So, I got my HTC Thunderbolt, rooted it, then unrooted it.
Would I be able to install the official MR2 OTA update from "Settings" then reroot my phone? I heard once installing this OTA update, rooting wasn't possible.
Or would I have to go an alternate route of rooting, then flashing an MR2 based ROM?
I'm completely lost, as I'm coming from a Droid X.
Also, what is this MR2.5 I'm hearing about? Is this just a leaked future OTA update?
Thanks in advance!
You could upgrade then root using the current method, but there's no point as it will downgrade you. If you want the OTA and root just root you phone, then flash the radio through hboot and a rooted version of the OTA ROM through recovery.
That's the MR2.5 update. hm, since it's a leak, it might not be 100% stable, correct?
Also, how often is that rooted version of the OTA ROM updated? It's not updated very frequently, is it? Is it just updated when a new OTA update comes out?
No, that's the "Official OTA MR2 Radio". Meaning the one that was pushed out via official over the air update, I've been running it since it dropped, not a single reboot (everyone's experience it different). You are correct on the ROM, only updated when HTC/VZW drop and update.
So, I just rooted my phone. Now I flash the MR2 update, and then the rooted version of the OTA ROM and I'll be good to go?
Why do I even need the rooted version of the OTA ROM? Is that so it'll be able to support the MR2 update?
No, there are many ROMs that support the MR2 radio. Check out the developement section, it will usually say in the OP what radio works with a given ROM. You mentioned updating then rooting so I assumed you wanted to use the OTA. You know what happens when you assume.
So the ROM you directed me to is pretty much stock? Nothing removed, nothing added?
It is debloated and has superuser and busybox (for root access). This one only has superuser and busybox (no bloat removed).
I've rooted and unlocked my Prime. With Virtous ROM.
So the question is, can i update to .21? If can, how?
Will it brick my prime?
I'm new here but i like to get updated with the latest updates.
Nope I don't think so, unlocked=no updates.
21 upgrade
The latest virtuous is .21 , the developers of these roms will usually update them. Do not
update from asus , as you will brick it. Just install their latest virtuous rom zip.
Hi,
I have a Verizon Galaxy Note II I605 running Android 4.1.1 that I had originally rooted via Odin and followed instructions on the galaxynote2root website last Jan/Feb in 2012
I would like to upgrade to a stock ROM of 4.3 and keep root and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction in regards to which ROM to use and the steps to do so. I really only use root for the wifi tether and would like to keep the phone as close to stock as possible. I've gone through a number of different forums and posts but can't seem to find some good instructions with a corresponding recommendation on an Official OTA 4.3 ROM to use. I've found a lot variations on 4.3 ROMs, but most of them have gutted a lot of things or discussing having to flash firmware which makes me nervous.
Also, is it true I may be forced to take the OTA in the near future and potentially soft brick my phone if I don't either revert back to stock or install a 4.3 ROM which disables the update app. I'm not sure if the ROM i'm currently running has this disabled or not.
Thanks in advance for any help,

Beanstown or sophisticated rom will be the official stock 4.3, however your gonna have to flash the Official MJ9 firmware via Odin. You could take the OTA but the bootloader will be locked afterwards. There is root available with the OTA stock but you won't be able to load a custom recovery therefore no more custom roms.
+1. I did this with my note2. Was the same as yours. I'm now on sophisticated 2.0 highly recommended. I also updated recovery to Phils, which seems to be the conventional wisdom for flashing 4.3.

I can't seem to get a clear answer searching the forums... I've been on stock, unrooted 4.4.2 for a while now and all is working fine. The OTA update (for 5.0) is sitting on my phone and I just keep delaying the install. I've been tempted to get one of the new ANDROID AUTO radios and in order to do so, I'll need to upgrade to Lollipop... But I keep reading about bad experiences with the tmobile 5.0 variant.
Anyone on tmobile stock 5.0 happy? Is everything working? Battery life good? Wifi not dropping?
For that matter, anyone on stock 5.1.1 happy? Does mhl still work?
I'm not super interested in rooting (I will if I have to) or running custom roms (I really need wifi-calling) -- just worried the stock OTA experience is borked.
Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

5.1.1 is noticeably quicker than 5.0 or below, however it has a major MHL bug, i.e. it does not work! Just purchased the MHL adapter (wasn't aware of what I was missing...it's awesome), but had to downgrade to 5.0 in order for it to work. My guess is a 5.1.1 bug fix ota is likely in the works....I hope. Anyway you can freely Odin flash between any firmware version for this device.
Thanks!
Updated to 5.0. Everything seems to be running smoothly... I'll hold off on 5.1.1 for a while until there's a bug fix.
I am looking to flash the Deodexed Rooted ROM from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...t/how-to-update-to-g900tof6-5-1-1-pc-t3141404
I am wondering something about it. Obviously I know it comes without all the crap apps on it that just take up space. My question is, if I flash this in my TWRP (currently running Pure N5 Port ROM) can I get official over the air updates from T-Mobile should they have any or will it not work?
Which ROM would I have to flash to get OTA updates from T-Mobile?
Just the basic STOCK ROM?
If I flash the STOCK ROM can I root my phone and get rid of the bloatware and still get the OTA updates from T-Mobile?
If anyone can help me and explain this all to me I would be forever grateful. For as much as I love the Pure N5 Port ROM I am having a few issues with it. One being speaker during a call does not work for more than a few minutes. No matter who I call the other person on the other end after a few minutes has a really hard time understanding me as I sound distorted.
Anyway thanks again to all for reading and thanks to anyone that can help!
You have to be on stock unrooted to be able to install official ota files, but you can always just install the corresponding Odin firmware file when an update comes out if you need to be rooted and/or on a custom ROM
