Hi my girlfriend updated her phone to ICS and she hates it. The phone has never been rooted so I was just wondering the method for her to get back to stock. Also if there is a way to prevent the ICS OTA update from popping up that would be amazing. Thanks for the help.
There is a way to go back to gb if you take the ota but you have to root to do the process. The ota can be blocked but you have to be rooted to block it forever.

Just as a notice, the Flashback ROM will also revert your carrier back to Verizon is you have had it flashed to another carrier like MetroPCS. I had to get my phone Metro Flashed again after using Flashback
So, what happens to a rooted phone when the official update to ics comes out? Will you be able to update through Verizon, or will a dev need to work on it first? I know there are some great ics roms out there already, but what if you wanted to try the stock update? My wife also has a rezound and she won't let me "mess" with hers.
Thanks!

use ruu and go back to stock for the update
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466474
go here and do #1~3
for #3, http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...5&postcount=58
go here and download and use this file
this one is the lastest stock ruu.
One of two options:
1. If you are already rooted, wait for a Dev to build a ROM based on the OTA so you can safely flash it.
2. You can unroot/relock your phone to accept the OTA update.
The problem with # 2 is the current methods to achieve root may not work on the updated software so it is possible to be stuck without root for awhile (unless someone finds a work-around).
The way I understand it is simple. You will be able to upgrade to a rooted is rom, however you will not be able to update the radios if you are s-on. I'm Gonna hold out. There will be an unlock tool after ics drops...whether same day or eventually.
A rooted version of the OTA rom will be released within a couple hours of the OTA.
really need to know if i will recieve the OTA if im rooted on a different rom, i am currently rooted and using the iKream rom (2.3.6) (R3DROM.v1.0).....or will i have to restore back to stock ??

If you use the ota root keeper (2 apps that I know of on play) it will temp unroot your phone then restore root after update.
Short answer, no, as you are right now, just use one if the ota root keeper apps on play store.

WHY do the ota the just wait probably not even a day one of the great devs will have a working build based off the ota soon. you will probably have to wait for the kernel since it does not seem likely moto will release source at the same time.
To get an OTA you need to be stock release.
You can be rooted but you cannot remove any bloat that you could not have removed without root.
So if the Golf game is missing, that is okay. If VZNav is missing, the OTA won't install.
So if you are on any custom ROM, the OTA will fail.
If you don't have the stock recovery, the OTA will fail.
If you have removed bloat, by being rooted, the OTA will fail.
Hey guys, quick question.
I'm rooted on 2.3.6, so I was wondering if Ill have to unroot to see the OTA in settings
Thanks.
No, but you will lose root after you update

You should see it when it comes. Your root will probably go away though. I just flashed all the way back to .171 and did the update to .181 (no root) manually just in case people who are rooted have issues with the OTA then itll be one less thing to worry about it.

I saw somewhere that root was already achieved for the OTA so that's no problem, thank guys.
You should unroot and then use this in order to get root again.
Is there a way to unroot without wiping?
with the at&t version of the htc one getting the 4.3 update today..im guessing it will be a bad idea doing the ota update if you still want root and unlock bootlaoder? im currently on stock no root 4.1.2 right now. i was thinking of rooting and unlocking my bootlaoder..

Neither should be a problem after accepting the ota, rooted leaks have been out for a while, and I doubt that anything updated from the ota interferes with the unlocking process.
