Hello,
How do I get OTA updates back on my N1 after rooting/unlocking and using a custom rom. What rom do I need to use to get OTA back?
Thanks
I too would like to know this.
You can't. You need stock recovery.
The only thing I have to do is flash stock recovery?
Is it even worth it
Why do you need OTA when the devs have given you the ability to update via .zip files?
You can easily go back to stock recovery using ROM Manager in the market.
I have had my G2 since the begining and never took an OTA. My baseband version is VS98010B, but I am running Malladus 1.2.9. Can I just flash a newer baseband, 11A, 12A, 12B or 24A?
I prob should just wipe and return to stock, and take the OTA like everyone is saying, but I am a believer of never taking the OTA. If I return to stock, will my nadroid backup from TWRP be removed and my whole phone be wiped back to default status? SDcard wiped?
Thanks,
Opie
Do not flash the 24a (4.4) baseband, 1. it won't work 2. It isn't the official update there are bugs. It shouldn't do any damage, you will have no radio but you should be able to flash back. I think you should be able to flash 12B baseband because it was mainly bug fixes for 4.2.2 but I'm not 100% sure. I would just wait until the official ota comes out then bite the bullet flash to stock 12B and update to KK from there following instructions on xda to retain root/recovery. There isn't really a huge performance difference
Edit:
If you use the lg flash tool to return to stock the entire phone will be erased

Yes, you can flash the 12b modem/radio. And yes everything will be wiped if you go back to stock.
I would recommend doing the tot back to stock 11a, taking the 12b ota, rooting and installing twrp, and then flashing the new kitkat malladus. You shouldn't have to worry about baseband if you do that.
Thanks for the answers. I guess I knew that the best would be to revert to stock and take the OTA. Just did not want to have to backup my SD card but it seems that it might the best to fix the minor issues I have.

I'm on the 10 or 11 aboot, not sure which. I have run aosp roms since they became available in Sep/Oct, so I never updated to the 12b aboot. If I continue running aosp roms, is there a need for me to update my aboot? Only reason I ask is I have been seeing mention of bug fixes in 12b and wondering if I would benefit from it. I already have the 12b baseband.
Thanks in advance!

No, probably no need to update unless the rom dev says to. I've been on 11a and 12b firmware, didn't notice any significant difference.
You can do it if you want tho, might be better to be up to date. Idk about aosp, but on stock based, 12b is the preferred firmware for that reason.

Hey guys,
I purchased the Galaxy S5 back in April and now I am selling it so that I can purchase the LG G3. The problem is I'm trying to flash back to stock with Odin and it won't work. I downloaded the stock firmware from Sammobile and loaded it into Odin, put my phone in download mode and hit start and it says "fail." I can't get it to flash. I'm rooted but I haven't installed a recovery or custom rom. Any guidance would really help. I have no idea why I'm getting fail errors.

I'm rooted but I haven't installed a recovery or custom rom. I used the Supersu update by chainfire to disable knox. I remember on previous Galaxy S versions that if you took the OTA update it prevented you from flashing custom roms of flashing back to stock. But I haven't taken an OTA update or anything so I can't figure out why it keeps saying fail? Do you think I need to re-enable knox? If so, can I do that in Supersu? Or is there another problem? Any guidance would really help.

DO NOT TRY TO FLASH THE BL FILE as our bootloader is still locked and it will just fail.
just flash the other 3 files
enjoy

Hi there,
I am trying to restore my phone back to stock firmware in order to return it for insurance. Currently, I was able to unroot the phone and it is on the NG3 stock firmware. I still have safestrap recovery installed and I want to use odin to return the phone to 100% stock like it was when I got it. The only stock firmware I could find was for the NCE build. Would it work to flash that with odin and then OTA to NG3? If not, would somebody be able to share the correct NG3 firmware that I could flash with odin?
Thanks so much for your help!
Yes NCE will revert it to the day you bought it.

If your phone isn't rooted and you've confirmed using root checker already just uninstall Safestrap apk.
I rooted all the way back on 4.2.2 1.11.707.1 and I have cwm now. All the old stock recovery links I could find are dead and the custom roms all seem to require updated stock to be able to flash them. How would I go about updating by ota?
