So I have a note 2. It has 4.1.2. I unlocked and rooted with team win recovery tool 2.5.0.0 using odin. Now the update is out and I keep defering cause I dont know what to do. How do I update to the current version without bricking the phone?

You grab up one of the OTA based ROMs without the bootloader and flash it. That way your bootloader remains unlocked.

If you're rooted then flash 4.3 with odin and you can also look into Sophisticated Rom v3.1 for the note 2. it has a stock look and feel to it

Hello everyone. I have a galaxy s3 i535 on verizon wireless. I am currently rooted and have CWM and a backup of CyanogenMod10 (jellybean). I am currently on stock ICS my phone shipped with. My question is how to i get rid of CWM and my root. I want to be ready for JB OTA. Also, does my bootloader need to be locked when i accept OTA updates?
I want my phone back to just like it came when i took it out of the box.

Root has nothing to do with ota updates, if you update rooted phone it will most likely loose it during the process. What you need is bootloader locked, unlocked bootloader on ota upgrade can brick the device
Do i need to get rid of cwm and my backups first?

I'm pretty sure yes, you do need stock recovery but you can keep your backups, those are just files saved onto the SD card

Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
No you don't need to get rid of it...as i said before the only thing required is locked bootloader, the update will overwrite anything on the sytem partition and eventually will get erased with the update. If you really want to return to stock find the stock .ftf file for your phone and flash it using flashtools or odin similar program..it's all explained in section 6 of the link posted by .xxx. second post of this thread....
Ok i dont want to brick it. So all i need to do is lock ny bootloader the when i get jb ota i wont brick it

What is the most recent root method for this phone? I've read and read and I'm getting really frustrated with this. Can someone just give me a link to a root method that isn't a pain in the ass and that works. HTCdev doesn't work. I would appreciate it so much!

Actually one other question. Do I need to s off first? Or unlock the boot loader first?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Moonshine will root, unlock bootloader, and s-off. All you need is to be on firmware version 2.06 or 2.07.

I'm actually trying to root 2 DNA's, and I've successfully rooted 1, but the other is still causing problems. All the software versions and everything in about phone are exactly the same on both phones, but mine is causing problems -_- anyway, how do I flash TWRP recovery now? I apologize guys, I'm not familiar with HTC's at all, I'm used to Samsung. I've rooted, unlocked and installed custom recoveries on Note II's and S III's in like 10 minutes top.

Download goo manager from the playstore and there should be an option to flash TWRP recovery in the app.

Hello all.
I am wanting to install a rooted 4.3 rom over top of my CM11 nightly. I just can't stand the bugs anymore. Is there anything I have to do besides flash the zip in cwm recovery and flash the firmware using Odin? And confirm this will not mess with my bootloader (ie lock it down)
Thanks a million!

i think it wont mess your bootloader, unless you take 4.3 directly from verizon OTA.
Done it a few times already. Flash away
I had flashed stock recovery from this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2568799 but after i finished i can't enter to stock recovery. It show me red triangle error sign and stop. I think because of i flashed different version of recovery. Right? If so how do i get 1.23.707.1 stock recovery or how can i upgrade 1.54.401.1? Any idea for this problem please?
Here is my processing step...
1. When i get ota update, unlock bootloader
2. Then flash stock recovery from above link.
3. Lock bootloader
4. My device is still rooted and i download ota update. Then i install.
5. Device restart and start loading but may be round about 20% it start show me red triangle and stop processing.
Here is my device version
CID-HTC__044
hboot-2.46.0000
software no 1.23.707.1
baseband version 4T.21.3218.04_10.15.1718.01L

Well your first problem is that the Bootloader has to be locked for the OTA update to take affect. Make sure you have Stock Kernel, Rom and Recovery Installed.

Is there anyway to run the update from Verizon on TWRP? Every time it tries to update it reboots into the custom recovery. I know the file for the update is on the phone. Does anybody have the name of it or how to run it?

If you want to take the OTA you need to revert back to stock recovery.
There is a ROM that is pretty much the same as the 4.4.2 OTA in the development section that can be flashed via TWRP
Hey if you want PM me and I'll help you revert back to stock with keeping your root and updating to KitKat and getting your recovery back. There is no way at all to use the Verizon OTA with a custom recovery.. It is rebooting to TWRP because by default when flashing the OTA it is meant to boot to your stock recovery which is designed to flash carrier updates. When it hits TWRP it fails because it sees that its not the stock recovery. You need to either fastboot back the stock recovery which is in Flyhalfs recovery thread or you need to RUU.. But in any event I'm here if you want some solid help and I can get it done quickly for you...
