I am now running PA with twrp and unlocked bl.
How can I get everything back to stock (bootloader and such)?
If possible I could go back to gb and update with lg update tool, but how to get back to stock gb?
Thanks!

Hi,
I wanted to ask whether I will get the official OTA update if my bootloader says *TAMPERED*.
Also, what else could prevent me form getting the updates? I am running this ROM.
Thanks for your time.

Yes you will get the official update but you need to have the stock recovery installed, so when the update comes out flash the stock recovery using fastboot, do the OTA update and then reflash TWRP or CWM and thats it.
You'll need to lock your bootloader aswell.

Actually No you don't have to as long as you have the stock odexed ROM and the stock recovery you can do the OTA!

Didn't work for me when I went back to stock, OTA failed but worked after I'd relocked my bootloader.

That's weird, it worked for me when I updated to 1.24.401.8 last week!
Thanks for the answers. My ROM should be de-odexed. That is a problem I presume?
Thanks again for your time.

It's needs to be the stock ROM in stock form, without modification, otherwise the OTA will probably fail.
Retested this morning, update downloads, goes to install but stops part way through and shows the red triange with exclamation point ... That's on a stock, odexed ROM with stock recovery.
Several times I have run ruu on pc to go back to 4.1.2 using 1.28.401.6 ruu, then with S off and super cid and unlocked bootloader have successfully received and installed Ota updates up to an including 2.224.401.8
I am convinced that ota are no problem with unlocked bootloader.
Don't know if s off effects this
I'm s-on and lost my original nandroid months ago but can I just flash a stock ROM or do I need to downgrade the boot loader? Also if someone could point me to a rooted stock ROM that would be awesome

You dont need to downgrade the bootloader to go back to the ICS stock rom. You cant go back to a gingerbread rom though

There is a thread that talks about it somewhere... But that's only for going back to gingerbread....

Okay I think I can figure the rest from here, thanks. (Edit): could someone point me to a stock ics pre-rooted rom?

So I finally cannot stand stock phone anymore...
It's only 4.3 or later that has locked bootloader, right?
Can 4.2.2. can be flashed normally?
Any recommendation for which rom to use?
Thanks

The i537 has always had a locked bootloader regardless of what version you're on. Your only option is to use SafeStrap.
Try the Google Play Edition ROM in the development section, you'll like it. It's as close to stock android as you're going to get with a locked bootloader.

You can easily get back to stock by flashing the stock files.
however to get the ultra-stock experience, you will need to lock your bootloader as well and restore your DRM keys too. If you didn't make this backup then I believe you can't get back to the true stock experience.

So, I am rooted and have TWRP for my recovery, running a custom stock rom. I'm wanting to upgrade to a new Lollipop ROM, but they all say that firmware 4.20.651.10 is required. I looked into how to upgrade the firmware, and all I found was that I need to get back on stock recovery, with a locked bootloader. My question is. . .can anyone help my get stock recovery with a locked bootloader again? I have the Harman/Kardon edition.

Pull the stock recovery from the 3.31 Full Firmware.

No need to update via ota, just update firmware & install a 4.20 custom ROM.

So that's it? I thought I had to go back to stock in order to flash the new firmware, even through the download available here on the site.
No , you just have to make sure you flash the full firmware and not the modified ones
