Was gonna post the same thing but for a different reason. I've inadvertenly dialed 911 three times due to accidently hitting the power button then pulling my phone out of my pocket. Got it hung up once before it got through, but have gotten two callbacks from a 911 operator. Not good. Running snowjb v1.1. Curious if I could just flash a zip file or something of that nature.

Why not upgrade to slick? That snowjb is a bit dated

what's slick based off of, 4.1 or 4.2?
Also, I've seen on some rom threads about having to be on jb 4.1.2 ota before flashing. Does that mean I have to be running the 4.1.2 stock rom on my phone before I flash, or does it have to be the actual ota update from AT&T and not the flashable stock rom?
sorry to derail the thread but since I don't have enough posts I can't ask in the developers section.

It has to be the actual OTA from AT&T, or alternatively, you can flash TeenyBins (found in the Dev section) in LGNPST. This is by far the easiest way.
so there is no way to remove that apps with the stock 4.1.2?
You can install a different dialer.
Just do the crap you gotta do to flash a rom man.

I have done root, clock mod, AP mod, and changed the boot animation. The reason I was asking is I was just curious so I would know if I will get the OTA updates.

What you asked previously was "STOCK" firmware. If you haven't flashed a ROM then you're on "STOCK" firmware but you did modify some parts of it with MobileAP so I don't know how that would play about.
Simple Solution.. its on the stickied post
IF I ROOT, WILL I GET OTA UPDATES?
Yes. Rooting will not prevent this, unless you flash a custom ROM that will block receiving the OTA update. If you do receive and download the OTA update, you will lose root. Typically within hours of the OTA becoming available, thanks to some fine XDA folks you can get the update WITH root. You would simply need to download and flash the update like a normal ROM.

Even if you dont get OTA, you wouldn't want it anyway because OTA gives the update to people in GROUPS and not every single person gets the update at the same time. So you can get yours two weeks after the first batch got the update. When a OTA is released, somebody will post the link for rooted and non-rooted users to manually push the update. So there isn't a need for OTA. Just look around the forum for it when its actually out.

Yeah it just seemed weird asking if you have stock or not. It honestly doesn't really matter because in the end, you're still going to get the update even if it isn't OTA.. you'll just end up manually pushing it which is better than OTAing.

That's because for them its a chore but to justify it they get paid. Here, we do it because its something we actually ENJOY doing (well.. not all of us like to help people) and we're more enthusiastic.

When you flash simple mods like MobileAP or a new Battery icon, will it pose problems when you update, say to Froyo in the future?

I can see how he can get confused. I was a little when I 1st started paying attention to the whole Android scene.
Stock could mean a few different things to different people.
1. Stock = NOTHING CHANGED period at all. not even mods.
2. Stock = Rom that shipped with the phone with a few mods
3. Stock = A flashed "true stock" rom
4. Stock = an Google Android STOCK rom aka AOSP
I still go by the saying that their is no stupid questions just stupid answers.
another thing, thanks for at least posting this in the correct forum haha. A lot of the other members get really PEEVED when they see postings in the wrong area.

I wouldn't think that it would cause any issues updating to 2.2 with mods like the battery icon. I'm unsure of the MobileAP though cause 2.2 has it built in. I would prob remove that to be safe before you update. I'm still learning too so lets wait till a more seasoned member could give ya a better answer.

2.1 has it built in too.. its just the U.S. versions of the Galaxy S has it removed because of the carrier.
Just think of "STOCK ROM" as the default ROM without any modifications. That's the best explanation of it.
In anticipation of ICS coming out. as it was just released for the atrix 2. I was wondering how do i go about rolling my phone back to stock to get ICS or Can i just got straight on with an OTA?

1) wrong forum
2) no you cant get an OTA with nottach (use search feature to find a stock rom)
3) when an update is made available there is a 99% chance someone will post a CWM/TWRP flashable zip within hours/days.
4) use search feature to find things before making posts in the wrong forum.

Wait, what country is your phone from? There's different versions of the Atrix, but there's next to no visible differences. They can't take the same firmware without a fix.
Any blur based ROM can receive updates from Motorola. However, this is not a good idea if you have an unlocked bootloader since there is a high risk of hard bricking your device. This happened with the 4.5.141 update, and the same could happen again (assuming we ever get ICS).
The safest option is to wait until an ICS fruit cake is available.
Hi,
I am currently on a rooted SGS2 GT-i9100. Rom: AllianceROM ICS with Siyah kernel (no link cause it's fairly popular).
Since two days ago my phone keeps asking me to update my device. Programmeupdate is roughly translated (located in About phone> And the first "bar")
Could this be the JB update? It doesn't seem like JB cause it's file size was about 13.5 MB, but am still not sure.
I keep denying it because i think it could brick my phone, don't know though, but i'm sure as hell not gonna find out. The icon for Update keeps staying in my statusbar and every 3 hours it comes as message with alternatives: Install or Later. (i keep pressing later) This is really annoying and hence my question (main)
How do i get rid of it?
Or if it's good to update, i'll do it, If one of you say so.
Thank you for your time and extra thanx for replies
Regards
By removing/stopping it with titaninium backup.

I've unchecked everything in there, still it doesn't dissappear. With the JB Alliance, do you mean this one?
Also could you answer: if i Did update this by pressing install, would it brick my device?

Sorry dude, no idea whether it'll brick your device or not...haven't tried the software OTA even once..

I am waiting on a note 2 to arrive in the mail. It's rooted on stock 4.1.2. I have a few questions before I start tinkering with it when it gets here. I really would like to keep all of the spen features, so I have determined it's best to stay with a TW based ROM. If I flash a 4.3 tw ROM and don't like it or find it unstable, is it possible to flash back to a stock 4.1.2? From what I've read it is.
The only thing I don't want to do is an ota 4.4 update correct? This would unroot and lock boatloader?
Is there a certain rom anyone would suggest a noob to start with?

Make sure your phone is unlocked as well before you attempt any custom ROMs. To unlock search for link to Adam Outler's CASUAL on this forum. In my experience 4.3 ROMS are pretty stable. If you want to keep looted and unlocked, do not ever take ota from the vendor.

Taking an ota of anything above 4.1.2 will lock the bootloader for good right now. Flashing roms through custom recovery such as twrp or cwm of 4.3 and 4.4 is fine. Also, if you need to Odin back to stock for whatever reason only use the stock image for 4.1.2.
Oh and never update the bootloader.
Awesome, it just come in the mail. It's in great shape, and I have verified that it is rooted and running 4.1.2. During my setup, it keeps wanting to download the ota from Verizon. I force stopped it and was able to catch it before it downloaded.
Is there a way to keep Verizon from pushing uupdates or it being downloaded in the background?
EDIT: ok maybe I figured this out. I followed the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2112221&page=4
I installed titanium backup, backedup sdm1.0, then uninstalled it. Is this what the majority is doing to safeguard against a forced update?

Yes. Either that or flash a custom rom when you get unlocked , most of them have it disabled

So I've been on a slim-stock rooted ROM (I believe this one) of OB1 variety (Lollipop 5.0) and figured why the hell not update to the newest 5.1.1 base since I've been back into phone stuff trying to get my dad's new T-Mo S4 all freshly rooted and updated .
I was thinking of installing this OJ4 (5.1.1) ROM but then noticed that the current modem/kernel/stock .tar files in this wonder thread here say NH4 is the newest version and there's no mention of neither OJ4 nor OB1...which made me have an utter "WTF" moment. Why doesn't that list have either of them on there? My phone's current baseband/moden is OB1, which is what one'd expect from a OB1 ROM without its modem separately updated...but why are NEITHER of them in that list??
Someone please tell me I'm not the only one who finds that downright strange or could help shed light on this mystery, thanks!
TL;DR= Trying to update to OJ4 (5.1.1) and not sure if I have to THEN update everything I can to NH4 after the fact.
