Hey folks-
I'm currently on CM10 nightly, but I'd like to switch over back to the stock update. My device is unlocked, so I know I can't just get the OTA.
I also gather that at this point we don't yet have an image to flash to get the update via other means. But when we do, in theory, what are the steps going to be to get to the OTA version? Is it going to be as simple as flashing a ROM? Will I need to go back to a recovery image via ADB first? Or will there be more involved?
Thanks in advance for the help!

all your questions are answered here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911024
if you are unlocked you will be able to follow op instructions and get the official JB update
Similar situation for me. I put CM10 on a while back but basically hadn't touched the tablet in a couple months. Decided to give the tablet to my wife (an upgrade for her from the TF101). I just flashed the stock .28 zip available from the Asus support site to get back to stock recovery and system files. Not sure if JB would have come OTA or not. I didn't feel like waiting so I rooted it and copied the dlpkgfike to /cache. Have to say stock JB on the TF201 was quite nice.

Will AT&T GNotes running stock I717UCLA1 rooted by RoloRacer's method (no tripping of flash counter) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1518962 get the official AT&T OTA ICS update when available? Or will these phones need to be unrooted to get the update?
Thank you.
generally, rooted phones do NOT get OTA updates, but since this hasn't been released yet, no one can answer your question.
let us know if you get it when the ota gets released, ok?

Certainly!
I keep checking for an update daily, hoping that it will be available sometime this month. But, if it isn't here by the end of the month, I think that I will flash one of the custom ICS ROMs that are available.
If I decide to install a custom ICS ROM, will I need to first, unroot the device and then flash this new ROM? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664980

No. You will need to be rooted to get into CWM and load a ROM...if You dont have CWM installed, install it via Odin. Be aware though that this will trip the flash counter, but there are ways to remove that notification
na, just root your phone, and start flashing custom roms..
the dev's here will incorporate any changes/improvements from the official release into their base roms once it ACTUALLY comes out
there won't be anything unique in the "official" release that the dev's here won't be able to use, if its an improvement over what they are doing now..
I already have the phone rooted using the mashi root method listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1518962 Being a NOOB in the Android world, I'm not sure what needs to be done next to be able to intall the ICS ROM.
Since my Note is already rooted, can I install the ClockworkMod Recovery listed here, first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23170524 and then install this ICS ROM? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664980
Thank you.
I installed ClockworkMod Touch Recovery last night with success! Now I plan on flashing ICS later today. I'm going to try this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664980

You don't need root for cwm. At all.
Download mode and recovery are underneath the os, only need root while inside Android itself

I feel like you've said that before...:banghead:

I installed ICS and it works GREAT!!!! Much faster than GB! Now I wish I had done it sooner.
Hi every one.
Got my s3 when it launched & rooted it with odin using the unlocked kernel? Can't remember exactly ?
My phone keeps telling me there is a software update, but it fails when I try install.
Looking for some advice on what I should do to update it. But obviously I don't want to lose root access.
Also jelly bean is due soon & I'm just wondering whether to wait till then?
Im currently using a stock Rom I think?
I really like the way I have it set up at the min & I'd like to keep it as close to how it is now on jelly?
Can you make a custom Rom from my phone & put it to jelly when it's released.
Any help or advice would be great.
Cos I'm totally lost to be honest?
there was a member who had a problem like this.
1-)people suggested him to flash a stock rom update it and root it again. ( of course do a nandroid backup or titanium backup )
then there will be no problems.
2-) you can choose to flash any available rom for your s3. directly put it in your internal sd and flash with cwm.
you can search that in forum.
P.S: Roms are for use of everybody, you can select what you want to install ( you dont need to search a Rom made for your phone )
OTA's don't work of you are rooted and running a custom recovery.
Flash the latest stock ROM via Odin and root it, but you won't get official OTA's when you are rooted.

So flash back stock kernel through odin , update it & then re-root?
Can jb be rooted yet?
I might wait till jb is released officially, it's due in a few days isn't it?
Thanks for the reply guys but I'm still a bit unsure what I'm doing tbh .
I always take my time doing stuff like this cos I don't want to brick my phone?
Hey all. Quick question for ya. I am going to flash one of the JB roms to my wifes galaxy tab 10.1 this weekend.
She is currently running task's honeycomb rom. She has been running that for a good 5 months now.
What order do I proceed to get her to JB??
Must I flash an ICS rom first then flash a JB rom??
Do I need to flash a JB bootloader or an ICS bootloader?? If so where can I find them. Been searching the forum with no luck.
Any other info would be greatly appreciated. Specifically the orders or anything I have overlooked.
Thanks in advance,
Nycorduroy
not mandatory to have an ICS step, you can directly go to JB.
you just need CWM, you probably already have it if you are running task's rom.
backup your app (titanium is a great tool in my opinion)
copy rom file to your tab
make a full wipe (+cache +davilk)
flash rom
reboot and enjoy

This does not belong in the Development section. All questions need to be put into the Q&A section. Please do that from now on.
With that said, I am not sure about the bootloader but you probably need to update your version of CWM recovery, and you can find out about that as well as the bootloader stuff in the threads for CM10/JB. Pershoot's threads are probably a good place to look as well.
Edit: well someone got to it first, follow their instructions as well

Yes, Pershoot stated in Android 4.1.1 - CyanogenMod 10 Preview thread that you need to have a US HC or ICS bootloader in order not to have charging SODs. If you have a US bootloader you should be fine if not flash a stock US HC or ICS rom via Odin before you flash CM10 (you'll loose all data on the tab). Alternatively there are flashable US bootloaders but I've never tried one. I can't put the links because search feature is is temporarily unavailable.
Finally, You could still get charging sods and some wifi problems etc. even if you came from a US bootloader. Pershoot says a small minority will face these issues no matter what. A hard reset fixes these issues temporarily. If you could wait a little bit more a new cm10 is on the way with 3.1 kernel which is supposed to work fully functional. But still, I think current CM10 is the best rom available right now.
I have a rooted unlocked prime with TeamEOS JB rom. In fact the only reason I unlocked the bootloader was to get jellybean in the form of that custom rom. As much of an improvement as this rom was over stock ICS, it has too many problems and my prime often powers off randomly. I would like to have the stock jellybean experience similar to my nexus ..... is it as simple as downloading the official jb rom from the asus website, flashing it, and then flashing twrp? And if it flashes badly (with the prime it seems to be a common problem) will I be able to simply restore via recovery? Please help a poor noob, I just want my prime to be usable!

looking for the same - still running on 4.0.x (Virtuous Rom) and want to have a full working JB Version. How can I get the stock version on my Prime ?! or does somebody know if the Virtuous Team is already working on an update of ther Prime Series Roms
So any stock Rom (modified or not) will be awesome to get my Prime to JB with a WW Version.

Me too! I have CWM recovery and a pre-rooted stock rom (.28). I've read on these fora that people have successfully installed the official .zip from Asus using a custom recovery, but I also read that other people are sure that it will brick the Prime. Getting confused

Here's what I did:
I downloaded the latest firmware from ASUS's website. I extracted it to the root of my micro SD. I plugged that Micro SD into my prime and it recognized it as an update.After I selected it in the notification bar, it rebooted me to recovery where I chose the extracted file and flashed it with TWRP.
N.B. Be sure to back up root with Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper.

I would like to add that you get the new TWRP openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.1-tf201-JB.img from http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/93 so you can have a custom recovery with jelly bean
Also if you flash the full firmware from the Asus website you may lose root but can get it back by doing the following.

First to clarify, i have an "unbranded" (asian) HTC Amaze (which is also known as HTC RUBY).
I'm on stock ROM 2.3.4 and it is un-updatable officially.
So... I unlocked my bootloader, then i installed 4EXT recovery, then i S-OFFed my device (which somehow locked my recovery again), then i rooted it.
Now, when i flash a custom rom (Cyanogenmod JB 4.1.2 official), it gets stuck on the boot screen (the rotating cyanogenmod logo).
I have backed up my rom in the recovery, so i can restore it and get back to where i was.
Basically i want to know what I'm doing wrong or if I've missed an step.
I haven't Super-CID it yet, is it really necessary? And i also can't seem to update my hboot, but isn't 4ext supposed to do that for me?
You forgot to install the ICS firmware. You can't install an ICS ROM while on Gingerbread. You need to first upgrade to ICS, then you may start flashing ROMS.
This thread has it, and all of what you need.

Oh... So according to the article, i just download that ROM, rename it to PH85IMG.zip and flash it via bootloader.
After that i should be able to install any ROM i want right? Including the Cyanogenmod JB 4.1.2 one?
----
Oh and just to update, I've also updated my bootloader to the latest 1.93.2222 one. Working all fine.
I've also run the SuperCID batch script, and it seemed to work, but It isn't showing any CID status on my bootloader. Maybe it will once i flash the ICS ROM on it.
HURRAY! It worked. I'm using the T-Mobile ICS ROM right now without any issues. I think I'm going to stick with this for a while before i try the Cyanogenmod 4.1.2 one.
Thanks a lot Afnan dude, your one short reply was enough to solve my issue. Haha
