Hi,
First of all I apologize for the extremely noob question, but I just want to be certain I wont brick my phone, so I rather ask...
I have a Nexus 1 with 2.2.2 rooted (it came just like this when I bought it, so I have no idea how it was done). The thing is I got a notification about OTA update to 2.3.3, and I wanted to update.
My question here is, how do I determine that it wont brick my phone?
(As far as I can tell its googles stock firmware with stock recovery atm)
Apply the update. If it fails, you will need to look into other means of upgrading. If it passes, you win. If it fails, and won't boot afterwards, you may need to wipe, but all should be normal afterwards.
Thanks
While we're at it, how do I 'wipe' exacly?
By installing a custom recovery, either ClockWorkMod (through ROM Manager from the market) or Amon_Ra, which is my preferred choice, but you have to flash it using adb.
Thanks guys, I've been reeding a bit more and finally figured it out.
One last question though, I see from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=968396 that Gingerbread requires Hboot 0.35.0017 and Radio 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04.
I already have hboot-0.35.0017 but I have RADIO-4.06.00.12_7.
If I upgrade using OTA do I have to flash Radio first? Also can I use this newer radio with FRG83G?
Im sorry, Im still a bit lost on the radio stuff...
If you use the official ota it will update the radio.

Neat! And if I need to rollback to FRG83G, will the new radio version work with it?
So I updated using OTA feature and everything went smooth!
Thanks for the help guys. I really appreciate it!
BTW So far Gingerbread kicks ass!
nice to see people getting the ota..

Hey guys,
I'm new to android.. good riddance iPhone. I am a technically saavy I/T Guy and have already unrooted my captivate and figured out GPS and whatnot. However, I have scoured Google and can't find the answer to a simple question. "Do I need to unroot prior to the OTA JH7 update?"
Thanks for your help,

i dont think you'll need to unroot the phone but I *think* you'll lose your root once you update....please correct me if I'm wrong, though.

This is correct. All the apps will be there except superuser and the root will be gone.
I did this myself and after the update went ahead and wiped the phone (factory reset) anyway. I wanted to make sure I didn't have anything lingering..

Do you have still have the 12 MB file you got as a result of the OTA update. If so, can you upload it.

You can always re-root afterwards...
Does the original root method work with jh7? I'm not really interested in the super rooter type all-in-ones.

the update is simply JH7, JH7 has been available for most of us for over a week
grab it from samfirmware if you really want it now

That's where I got mine.. www.samfirmware.com
you will have to sign up for an account but its worth it.
You will have to flash using ODIN. Make sure you get the PIT file located at the bottom of the firmware page too..
Plus once you have the account, you can always flash newer firmwares when they come out...
I know about the leaked JH7. I am running it now. I am only interested in the official JH7 update file, just to compare the two versions.

I am not sure what happened but I just downloaded the update using the check for updates on the phone, it started to install, rebooted the phone then gave me this message:
"The update was not completed.
No update was applied to your phone"
my phone is rooted, lag fix, side load and I did not try to undo any of that stuff.

The same thing happened to me, but when I go my phone settings I show the following:
Baseband version:
1897UCJH7
So do we have to flash back to stock to get this upgrade?
I wasn't too hopeful that our rooted, lagfix-ed phones would play nice with the OTA anyway.

weird, mine still says I897UCJH2
I would like to find out what I need to undo or change (hopefully not reflash) to get the update to install.
Here's the zip of the OTA that was pushed out. It won't install through either CWM or TWRP, so can someone who's more knowledgeable in these matters make it flashable?
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/821854/OTAPkg.zip
And in case it helps, here's the log from CWM from trying to flash it manually:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/821854/recovery.log
And yes, as with any OTA, you run the risk of losing root, etc. But for me, I really don't care. I've even tried pushing the included stock recovery, but it doesn't work like this. You get a phone with an exclamation point over it (I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about) when you try to boot into that recovery. A quick push of TWRP back onto the phone fixed that error, but I still can't flash the update, obviously. Anyone want to take a crack at it?
Thanks to nuclear_eclipse for getting this and the log for us!

That symbol just means that it doesn't know what file to use for the update; this is part of what get's communicated somehow from the OS to the recovery during reboot, but I'm not familiar enough with the way recoveries work to know how to trigger that myself. I would assume this is a similar mechanism to how ROM Manager et al can tell CWM/TWRP what to flash.

That makes total sense. I guess it's not automatically checking the folder that Software Update puts it in. I've got another 22 hours until I can get Software Update to check again. I'll push the stock recovery before I do that, unless someone makes this flashable through TWRP or CWM before then.
In my stock Rom thread there are new files up. They are the ota roms. So if you are running stock, download the odex one ending in 1.08 and flash in recovery, no need to wipe data. Then pull boot.img and fastboot flash it. You now have the ota software. I will post instructions to upgrade the firmware that came with the ota

this all seems a bit long.
I have TWRP on my stock Sense ROM 4.1, also getting these OTA update to 4.2.2 prompts, which I would like for the new camera features and quick toggles.
Don't really want to have to flash default to remove TWRP then update then have to install TWRP again.
Can you not somehow apply this using TWRP another way, other than OTA? Is the update not available as a package that can be flashed with TWRP?

Ok cheers for into, don't think I will go that route.
I was just reading about this; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390346
So I'm considering this, I am on stock Sense and have TWRP so think good to go with that one, which I guess has those new features.
I'll just have to install my apps again eh.
Also read that 4.3 is notably faster too, so think I should upgrade to it

I think that rom in your link will work well for you! I was in no way advocating the OTA, just trying to help you do what you said you wanted to. In my opinion, if you're custom, you don't go back to stock for an OTA, so good choice! Good luck.....
yeah I know what you mean
I did just d/l that ROM and seemed decent but I've just restored my backup to Sense again, I didn't want to lose the Zoe functionality of the camera.
Probably keep on the old 4.2 for a while longer then and go without the features 4.3 offers

I don't think you can install a factory update via custom recovery. I might be wrong though. Someone smarter than me will surely chime in if I'm wrong.

If you're already on 4.2.2 I HIGHLY doubt you need it. IF it's a firmware update, then it might include things like a new screen touchpad update (which I don't recommend installing because it could possibly break your custom recovery) and a new radio file and irl. The most important part of that is the radio update and I wouldn't even really call it "important". More like USEFUL then anything else. So what you can do and what I recommend you do is: don't worry about your failed update. Find the latest radio.zip (flashable through custom recovery) file and install it. Let me know if you need help!

In order to receive and install an OTA update you need to have stock recovery... you have a custom recovery (CWM) which is why the update fails.
You have 3 options..... search, find and flash the stock recovery for your device, flash a custom rom based on 2.24.401.8 or stay as you are.
For radios this link is a list of all the radios released for the One, each can be flashed through CWM recovery.

That's right! I forgot about the OTA and custom recovery thing. Good thing you were around or the poor guy would have gotten wrong info from me lol. Thanks!
So my phone keeps screaming at me to install a update, stock Rom only rooted, downloaded it to find out I cant install it with out the stock recovery and it would probably unroot my phone....
So I'm kinda confused as to what I need to download to update.
This all steams from how my old lady is picking up 4G at our house on her s4 and I'm stuck on 3g and I think it's because I haven't updated in a long time.

I'm with you... I tried doing my own research, found this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2795856) and asked if flashing the "Modified Firmware w/ Radio" file would be the correct one to give me all of the needed OTA updates. I was told yes (though as you mention, the size difference doesn't make sense), so I flashed it in Fastboot.
...and I still have the system update notification on my phone which I can't get rid of. If you figure it out, please post here. Thanks.
I hope to have the process all figured out once 5.0 is released so that I can upgrade without wiping, as folks who are not rooted and take the OTA will be able to do.
