Hey guys im having trouble finding the OTA update.zip file from the google servers. Any chance any of you might have it or a link to it? I need to do some things with a friend's Eris but its at 1.5.
An easy way to install Amon-Ra recovery would also be nice though and would eliminate my need for the 2.1 OTA zip file. The universal one click root method that also installs RA-Eris recovery does not install for some reason. I figured i needed to update the phone first. It wont update OTA as it has been flashed to MetroPCS.

Can't you just check for updates on the 1.5 phone and receive it that way?
maybe?

The OTA is not being sent out AFIK. you maybe could use the rom setup to bring you back to stock 2.1 from a rooted froyo --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792026 then go to root from this step.
*EDIT* They have to be rooted already to use this with Amon-Ra, sorry for not stating that earlier.

Anyways, ive found a solution. Ill just root it at 1.5. The process installs Ra-eris recovery so after that ill flash a custom 2.1 ROM and be good to go for what i need. Thanks guys.
alright, how bad did I screw up here? Got the OTA notification last night, read nothing but good things and most keeping root through the process. I missed an important detail of using the OTA rootkeeper. So I'm currently on the latest update and lost root. I've tried one click 1.1 to no avail so far. I am unlocked and was rooted prior, but never got around to installing a recovery (hadn't found a ROM I was quite happy with enough to lose all my data just yet)
So.. all that said, is there a root option for the latest OTA yet?

Yes, all you need to do is flash Amon Ra through fastboot and reboot to recovery .. under the developer menu option on Amon Ra you have the option to install SU and superuser . Just run that and reboot you would have to unlock of course to install Amon Ra
Looks like I'm installing AmonRa today. Thanks!!!! I'm from a moto world where CWM and SPR are all we had.. the feature to install SU binary from recovery is new to me haha

for amon ra it was like amon-ra-3.13.gnm.img or something its the name of the file you downloaded just don't forget to add the .img at the end.

Odd, do you have the superuser app in your app drawer ? Otherwise , I heard to download it from the market and it will work .
I did it this way and I read about it from others that did it this was as well.
I need some help, please - I may have made a very bad assumption here...
I just got my Rezound today (upgrading from a Thunderbolt). I saw the stickied thread about how (relatively) easy it was to perm-root the phone after the bootloader was unlocked, and I assumed that this all still applied after getting the OTA update (not realizing that the OTA update was JUST released - my assumption was that it was older and already dealt with).
So I got the OTA first thing after activating the phone, THEN unlocked the bootloader, THEN tried to root via One Click - I tried both OneClickRoot_1.1 and Super OneClick 2.3.3.0, but it doesn't seem to be working.
I'm getting "Permission denied" errors on mounts and "read-only file system" errors for CHMods and file copies during the Zerg Rush process. It says "Congrats you are now perm rooted", but it doesn't seem to be true - I was able to install SuperUser from the market, but the BusyBox installer says it can't find the su binaries, so I'm not convinced SuperUser is actually working.
Considering that I never had root access to the phone prior to installing the OTA, is there anything I do besides waiting for one or more of the root tools to be updated to deal with the new OTA?

yeah, I have superuser installed. Nothing is getting SU access and as the above guy posted, all of the zergrush methods are completely failing. there is a rooted stock OTA ROM.. seriously debating that route now... =/

I would try the rooted stock rom, but just not sure why it didn't work for you . I did all the steps you did and I was rerooted afterwards. Are you getting the pop up for superuser when an app asks for permission ? Sorry, was trying to be helpful
got it.. had to attempt the SU install twice.. also reboot DIRECTLY from recovery, do NOT reboot back to bootloader. I think that's what killed it for me. And yes in the end I did have to install the superuser app from the market to get it working again.

I'm having a serious issue here - for unknown reasons (I have NOT installed any ROMS or ANY non-OTA updates whatsoever), my Rezound is no longer able to connect to Verizon's network, for data or voice (it just says "no service"; WiFi works fine). As I said in my previous post on the previous page, I just got the phone today, and was trying to use OneClick to root my phone, but it isn't working because of the OTA update, and at some point I think the radio got screwed up.
So my intended remedy was to download the rooted stock rom and install that, but, naturally, it doesn't pass signature verification on the stock recovery. So I tried to follow another set of instructions to get AmonRa recovery installed, but the bootloader keeps rejecting the PH98IMG.zip file, telling me (depending on which one I try to use) that there's "no image or wrong image" or "Main Version is older! Update Fail!". Furthermore, I tried to extract the PH98IMG.zip file from the rooted stock rom file that I downloaded from the link on this site, but that zip file is corrupted (it won't open on my PC, even after I re-downloaded the rom).
Can someone help me figure out how to get AmonRa installed? From there, I can hopefully get the rooted stock rom installed. OR, at the very least, help me run a radio update so the phone will at least work until an easier root method becomes available?
Thanks.

I got the rooted ota rom installed easily, and better yet, the root worked perfectly. The problem is, I still can't connect to any wireless networks (aside from wifi).
I used the tool linked in the previous response to flash a boot.img I got out of this thread (specifically, the stock 2.01.605.11 w/ 1/26 OTA), but still nothing.
Any thoughts?

back. After reboot, I installed superuser from market, then updated the binary.
Titanium Backup now works and I can confirm regaining root after the OTA update. To protect myself from this in the future, I have installed OTA RootKeeper. OTA RootKeeper has been confirmed to backup superuser and is a simple way of restoring superuser after an OTA.
I did not have to backup anything on the internal sdcard, as I did not lose any data through this process, but it never hurts to do it, just in case. I am running the stock Rom, and unlocked through HTC-dev.
Thanks to con247 and andybones for pointing me in the right direction.
I am not responsible for any issues with your phone, so proceed at your own risk.
Earlier this week I bought a Samsung Galaxy S III for ATT. It already had Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4 on it and so I rooted it. Well the day after rooting it I get a message in my notification bar that there's a new software update available from ATT. Am I safe to do this update since my phone is rooted? I doubt the update is anything major, but does that make a difference?

You can apply the update if you're rooted using the method in that thread or by installing OTA Rootkeeper before you apply the OTA. If you apply the OTA directly, you'll need to go back to stock recovery, then install CWM again when it's done. You'll also probably want to backup the Google Search widget (I forget the exact .apk -- search the forums) and restore it after to avoid losing Universal Search.
But the easiest way is to just flash the zip in the thread above through your CWM recovery.
As for the contents of the OTA: It updates the kernel, bootloader, lots of applications, some system libraries, wpa_supplicant and it's firmware (I think that's for wifi), and the modem. I've got it installed and didn't notice a huge difference, but you might. The thread above also includes separate flash files for the kernel and modem in case you want to try just those.
Good luck!

No. There's a zip file there with the OTA but with the bootloader and kernel updates removed. You can flash that to keep your kernel. There's another zip file there with just the bootloader if you want to update that, too. Just flash both (No Bootloader No Kernel, the Bootloader).

E:Error in /emmc/I747UCALG1_OTA.zip

Installation aborted.
Any idea as to what this may mean?
I am also getting same error I was on team epics recovery then saw it wouldn't work for that recovery so I flashed a new recovery and still get the same error.
Tried flashing the no boot loader zip. And the no boot loader and no kernel zip

Download the zip file for recovery, apply it using your current recovery, reboot recovery from the advanced menu, then apply the OTA zip.
Or use OTA Rootkeeper as also suggested. I prefer my OTA zip personally, but either way will work.

Okay. Wow. So after a lot of trial and error (i think i bricked my phone somehow in the middle of everything, but its okay I found out how to fix it) I have managed to get that update applied. Theres one last problem though. I applied the update by flashing it in CWM recovery. I know I have the update installed because now under baseband version instead of saying I747UCLEM it says I747UCLG1. And Ive tested the google search widget and it's still giving me local search results so that's all good. The problem is that in my notification bar the ATT software update notification is still there. I have currently postponed it for 8 hours, but its still there and the only button I'm able to press is the continue button. I dont want to press this because im afraid the normal ATT update will install over the modded one and the google search widget will mess up and stop displaying the local search results. Also under about device, when I click software update the option for "check for update" is grayed out. Any thoughts on this?

What does it say under build number? IMM76D.I747UCALG1? If not, then somehow you only got the modem installed.
I have the update applied, but I had frozen AT&T Software Update in Titanium Backup, so I wasn't getting the notification. I just tried unfreezing it and checking for an update and was surprised when it said there was one! I postponed it, did a Wipe Data for AT&T Software Update in TiBu, then rebooted and now all is well. When I check for an update now it says I'm up-to-date. So try that.

Sorry, "TiBu" is my shorthand for Titanium Backup. Chances are any custom ROM you install will remove the AT&T Software Update application, so you won't need to worry about this anymore.

Oh okay. In that case I'll go ahead and put in that custom ROM and report back when everything is done. Again, thanks for the help and patience.
Okay, so I have applied the ROM and everything is good! Well for the most part. At times when there isn't a WiFi signal available and it has to use mobile data, the 4G LTE doesn't work. It will connect to HSPA or 3G. And it happens in areas I know has 4G LTE available. But other than that everything seems to be working good. Just thought I'd share in case anyone was thinking of using the AOKP ROM.

You have to put the update.zip on your SD. Boot into recovery, then update.zip from the SD.....

As stated elsewhere, you must be STOCK to update. No "bloat" removed, no special software (like the Xposed frawework) enabled.
The update validates that all of 1500+ files are unaltered before it runs. If you've changed any of those, then it won't install.
That's why the developers have told people having problems with the update to start with flashing a stock MI1 ROM.
I posted a shell script that allows you to figure out if everything on your phone is acceptable for the update - post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46917189#post46917189
You might want to run that to see what's blocking the OTA.
Looks like once we get the tar, there's a KNOX safe root method already - http://www.theandroidsoul.com/universal-root-de-la-vega-script/
what did it wrote when you click update.zip?
It says something like Signature Verification Failed, when I tried to update the update.zip file.
I really like the way my OneMax w/verizon is and am not really interested in updating. The automatic firmware downloads is eating up my data daily. I just accepted to install it so it would stop, but it won't install due to error (it's a rooted device). I have S-Off on the phone right now and used the SuperSu unroot feature to try and let the update do it's thing just so it would stop downloading. Now, the root checker apps say I'm not rooted (but i think i still am). I tried the virtuous manual stock update but it gives me a installation aborted message while in recovery mode. Any help would be appreciated!
I think you need to have stock recovery & stock rom installed to accept the ota.

you only need to have stock recovery installed AND 100% stock system files. no system mods whatsoever.
assuming you enabled USB debugging under the developer options on the phone....you may need to update your version of adb/fastboot.
The root question....are you s off? If so that question is irrelevant as you only need to flash a custom recovery and flash the latest su zip from there to root any ROM...even the stock ota.

Yeah I have S-off on the phone. I will update the ADB version and retry. I don't know why I thought the su would be able to do a one-click unroot. All it ended up doing was just confusing me. I'm new to rooting and flashing, and it's fun figuring these things out. You guys are really helpful around here. I'll look for a tutorial on how to flash a custom recovery.
