Now that the AT&T version is out with the same leaked ROM as the latest leaked ROM, shouldn't the Market show protected apps now? I still cannot download protected apps from the Market. I have an UNROOTED N1 T-Mobile which I flashed using the passimg.zip technique to update without rooting.
Help!

I am a noob.
I followed some instructions to prepare my N1 for the OTA 2.3.3 update and messed some things up. I cleared EVERYTHING from Clokwork recovery, but, then phone would not boot anymore. So I manually loaded a Cyan 6.1 and GApps zip and got the phoen to load. Finally ran clockwork, rom manager, backed it up. Then I downloaded the stock image FR91 from ROM manager, clear cache/data and rebooted. Phone updated from 2.2 to 2.2.2. Now I have all my apps back and stock ROM, but superuser will not work. I cannot flash clockwork now, and cannot use ROm manager. Titanium prompted me to update superuser binary thru a zip file, but it will not run. Now, I tried to access recovery thru bootloader, but it just give me the Android with the ! and nothing more.
Alos, ROM manager keeps saying my phoen is not rooted, but when I bought it (used) it had Cyanogen 6.1. I know it's rooted, I get the unlocked boot screen, but why the problems now? How can I regain superuser functions to use ROm manager again?
Thanks in advance.
This is what happens when people don't read and don't understand what they're doing.
ROOT is a user in OPERATING SYSTEM = Android OS.
LOCK is a property of BOOTLOADER = a program that boots the phone.
Stock = NOT ROOTED, until you root it.
UNLOCKED = allows you to flash ROMs and other partitions directly from bootloader.
The 2 have no relation whatsoever, besides one - being UNLOCKED makes it easier to gain ROOT.
This has been discussed here a zillion of times. Do yourself and XDA a favor, please, and invest some time in reading Wiki - it points to several 101's (things to know) and guides.
So in my case I have unrooted the phone and should research on how to root again?
Thanks for the reply. I suppose I just confused myself.
So if I root again this will/will not affect the OTA update?

Wiki contains rooting guide.
Rooting won't affect OTA.
Custom recovery will affect OTA, unless signature checking is turned off in it.
You will have to root it.
A stock rooted rom will get the OTA. It will update as long as you don't remove stuff from stock. Like Amazon, twitter.
Please read the wiki.

A friend rooted his 2.2 installation to install some additional apps which requires root, e.g. a firewall. He now wants to upgrade to 2.3.3, and still keep his apps/settings/messages without a manual backup.
Will it work to just flash the OTA zips found here? We're aware that he will loose root.
I'm considering getting a GS3 on AT&T soon. I know you can root and install a modded .apk of Google Wallet so I can use that with my phone. I want to stay on the stock ROM for now. Here are my questions:
1. Do I need to unlock in order to install Google Wallet?
2. If the only thing I change after rooting is installing Google Wallet (not removing bloatware, not messing w/ build.prop, etc), can I still get official Kies or OTA updates, or will that mess up the phone?
3. If I can't get the official updates, do pre-rooted "official" updates usually get posted pretty quick on XDA?
Thanks!
this forum is for the i9305, not the AT&T Galaxy S3.
You'll need to make sure the software status is "normal". Post in the correct forum for further assistance

Here's some of my opinion:
1. If google wallet is not originally fitted in your phone, you can install a modified wallet apk after rooting your phone, as the apk needs to be pushed into the /system/app folder. I don't think there's things to do with unlocking.
2. Don't worry about messing your phone up, root simply gives you higher control over your phone, if you don't mess your phone up, no one will. (but keep your eyes on some unknown app that requires root access, virus etc.) You will not get Kies or OTA update once you rooted your phone, regardless other changes.
3. But it's not a problem at all, simply use Odin to flash the firmware you like to update for, as long as you stay with stock firmware for your phone, I'd say there is nearly no risk.

hey guys i just gotta a new software update on my htc one and i just realized that you cannot update your device if rooted because each time i try and install the new update it just boots into recovery which im not sure if thats suppose to happen or not. Anyways i tried this app called voodoo ota rootkeeper but each time i push protect root it just restarts my phone instead of giving me the option to temporarily un-root. Is there any other way how i can update my phone Thanks.
i am kinda confused what you are trying to achieve, you are rooted on a stock rom, but you want to update the ota, is that correct? my guess is that you have changed some system or other files (or changed kernel, or put a custom recovery) if anything of the previous is true, you'd have to go back to complete stock and then install the ota... or just get a custom rom there are 4.2 out there you know.
When you unlock the bootloader, some HTC apps are automatically deleted. If you're trying to install an official OTA, it will check for those apps and abort the install if they're not there. The only way to install it will be to get those apps back, or restore from an NAND backup that has them.
Or, alternatively, use one of the custom ROMs from either these forums or the HTC One International forums. They're way better anyway, and are running on Android 4.2.2.
yeah all i wanna do is upgrade to 4.2 so i gusse the best thing to do is just install a custom rom then and sorry sorta new to all this stuff
If all you want is 4.2 then you would need to flash either trickdroid or arhd latest version, I don't think 4.2 is even officially released yet as an ota anyway

alright thanks. but what is OTA exactly I just downloaded this app (voodoo OTA rootkeeper) from the google play store which was suppose to let me temporarily un-root my phone so i could update to the new software
I upgraded to loli then wanted to remove bloatware so i installed stock firmware here installed toweltroot, installed root browser removed bloatware, removed root using supersu, cleared cach and tried to download updates using the about phone icon now ever time it says install was interrupted . i dont want to use custom roms i just want to use factory firmware without the bloatware. is this possible?
does this thread do what i want to accomplish?

What you want is not possible. Once you modify the stock firmware, you won't be able to take OTA updates. Along with that, OTA updates will automatically add back all the bloatware. You need to run a modified rooted ROM. Try the MUNIZ method listed in the General S5 forums that you posted this thread in.
bloatware can be disabled in lollypop without root.

I did it now running 5.0 with bloatware removed
