I have twrp installed, I had cmw and a nandroid backup of 4.2.2
Restored it to the nandroid. Phone asks for install, reboot and it boots to recovery.
Is there a way to get ota without it kicking into cmw.
I tried twrp as well and it just reboots into that.
I dont want it to show.
Im trying to sell the phone and it will not go back to stock. So this is my only option.
I have a hboot 1.54, i do not have s off, but i have an unlocked bootloader and i have root.

I'm currently in the same boat as yourself. To make use of OTA updates your phone needs to be:
1. Running a stock unrooted ROM
2. Running the stock bootloader
Seeing as you don't have S-OFF your only option will most likely be using a RUU if you can find one for your carrier. If not you might be lucky with a stock Nandroid but older backups won't work as the older touchscreen drivers aren't compatible sadly.
Tbh custom ROMs will be updated a lot faster than pretty much any stock ROM. If you need to return to stock for whatever reason your best bet would be to wait for a leaked RUU or a new Hboot exploit I think.
Edit: If you need the device to be on the latest stock ROM for selling you could try and find the latest stock ROM for your device/carrier and just flash that with TWRP. But TWRP will always be on the device until you can do one of the things I said above.

Stock recovery is required for ota to work
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No need for RUUs! After flashing your nandroid, fastboot flash stockRecovery.img. Check mike1986's stock Sense ROM for a link to the stock recovery if you don't have it in your nandroid. Now you should be able to apply the OTA. Then flash CWM/TWRP and your custom ROM back.
Thanks i found a stock recovery flashed that and the ota updates are working now. Im selling the phone and going back to the iphone (let the bashing commense).
Not gonna install twrp again, leaving it as is so who ever buys it can do all that later if they wish or enjoy all stock goodness

I was rooted and running CM6. I tried getting back to a stock 2.2 by flashing the stock image from Rom Manager. I downloaded the 2.2 update from google and it wouldn't update. In the system menu or bootloader I got a little format happy with boot/system and so on. Anyway, doing a nandroid now. Is there anyway to get this phone back to the kernel it shipped with?
You have to flash it with the stock recovery.
I've been using that Universal androot.http://www.androidappjudge.com/2010/08/one-click-root-application-universal_10.html I tried flashing stock 2.2 and I didn't read the two options, I just clicked them and kept going not realizing that I flashed the rooted, superuser version. Does this mean that I'm now rooted forever? When I try flashing stock 2.2 with rom manager It stops @ the android and /!\ symbol. Now it's even doing this with CM.
I'm now wondering how to get rid of whatever crap might be floating around on my phone and why it may not be flashing anymore?
there is nothing wrong, rooting allows you the ability to have super administrative rights. Since all you have done is grant yourself admin rights, the recovery should be the same.
Something is wrong. I can't Fix Permissions or flash anything.
Man, I should have just left it alone.

Did you wipe? I used 1-click root and I hadn't flashed anything in over a year so I forgot to wipe and I boot looped until I pulled the battery, booted into recovery and wiped. Simple solution but it could be worth mentioning...
So you are saying that, you have the stock recovery now? Triangle with little android? If so, Just download a PASSIMG.zip and flash through bootloader. This will take you to stock.
I have an N1 with locked bootloader and when I wanted to go back to stock(Forgot to get a nandroid of unroot rom). I had to flash a stock recovery. then downloaded the PASSIMG.zip from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717870&highlight=frf91+downgrade
This takes me back to ERE76. Then I download an OTA of FRF85B.
I think fix permissions fixed everything. Thanks for the tips!

I have nexus one. This is my story. I had rooted my phone using universial android. I installed cyanogen mod and was a very happy user until I saw the MIUI Rom and then I flashed that. Then I saw that it was to unstable so I restored to a backup I made of cyanogen. After I started using cyanogen mod again it was very unstable and had random reboots and lots of force closes. So I just decided I was done with the rooting business so I was gonna use a passimg. Acsently I flashed the Korean passimg and I can't flash any of the other ones(except the frg33one because i cant update to frg83 after and lose root) So on the Korean Rom I rooted and installed clockworkmod. Then I noticed I couldn't install any custom rom(i tried CM6, CM6RC3,MIUI)and I kept getting errors.So while I was in clockwordmod restored one of my old stockrom backups before i had flashed any roms and it worked. But still when went to go and try and flash a rom it still gave me errors. But the most ANNNOYING thing of all is i would flash clockwordmod in rommanager than i would touch reboot to recovery. It worked. I got into clockwordmod but then when i would try and go back again a second time it wouldn't be there. It would be the stock android recovery and even when i would go to recovery though the bootloader it would still be stock recovery. I dont know what to do. As i said my bootloader isnt unlocked because i dont want to void my warrenty. my inital plan was if i ever needed to return this ting i could just i could just run a passimg and restore to to stock everything and there would be no traces. If i have to return my phone it would have to be last resort because I live in Canada and I would have to play ridiculous duties and taxes on it. Now i just want to make sure im able to install gingerbread on when it comes out. Also i forgot to mention that everytime i try to update my phone to 2.2.1 it always fails even though im on stock recovery(although even when i go into recovery and it is the stock recovery rommanager still says im running clockwordmod) PLEASE HELP!!!
ps. Im only 13 but i consider myself to be pretty techsmart for 13. I wouldnt mind using cmd/terminal and im running ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop.

If you installed the original passimg then you'll have 2 files you'll want to remove if you don't want the stock recovery to keep flashing back when you reboot
Remount /system rw and remove:
rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p
Remove those, flash your custom recovery and you should be good to go.
With respect to the errors: Clear out the cache and dalvik-cache. Wipe and install your rom of choice, be it a stock repack, CM6, Enom etc.
With Amon's latest recovery *1.8.0.1 you can flash both signed (google) and signed (test) packages, so the official update will flash as well as a repack. If you flash the official 2.2.1 remember to pull remove those 2 files again or it will blow away your custom recovery on reboot.

Go here, scroll down to nandroid backups, and find yours. There are two, one unbranded, one for Optus. Since you're running cwm, you can flash these backups and they should return you to stock.

I used CWM to sideload another rom, and now Im back on GE rom again.
and I download the Nandroid backup and copy into my internal memory, loaded into CWM then went into back n restore option, but just cannot find the find the zip file so cannot do the restore back to stock at the stage? so was wondering any particular folder I need to place the zip file so the CWM can regonise?
thanks.
So, I rooted my developer edition M7 and then reflashed the stock recovery so that I could install the OTA 4.3 update. Everything went fine until the update started installing. Now it's been installing for the past hour with no progress in the progress bar.
Can anyone please help me? does it usually take an hour? Is there a way to stop the installation without bricking it?
Any advice is desperately needed!
Do you have the stock rom and stock kernel (boot.img)?
And your bootloader is relocked/locked?
Yes, i believe so. In my efforts to get rid of cwm recovery, I used the stock nandroid for the developer edition from this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2248997&page=5 though it didn't get rid of the cwm recovery so I flashed the stock recovery from ARHD.
Can I reboot the phone by holding down the power button and start over?

Also, my bootloader is currently unlocked.
Well, I broke down and did a hard reset of the phone. It froze once more during the installation process, but ultimately concluded. However, it did not update to 4.3, but instead stayed with 4.1.2. I guess I'm just grateful that the phone is still working.
Anyway, i'll just have to research more.
@ThickG
You have to flash the stock recovery of 1.29.1540.3 version for get the ota and install it
So, i will search it for you!

That's awesome man,, thank you!
On stock 4.2.2 rooted and perfectly happy for now, last time i tried to flash recovery i bricked the phone and don't want to deal with that again if i can help it. Do i need to flash a custom recovery or can i get by with just stock for now?
What to do about OTA? Is root keeper an option and just accept the updates as they come?

You don't need a recovery unless you want to back up your rom or install other ones.
As for the OTA, people were reporting root stuck when installing 24A, as long as you have stock recovery it should install ok. Worst case is you need to root it again.
it all depends what you want to do bc i had my phone rooted without a custom recovery and it worked just fine using like xposed but if you want to flash a rom or do nandroids then you need a custom recovery. I also took an OTA like a dumbass and it gave me a boot loop with a certification error and it took me a month to fix it so a) plz don't take an OTA and b) get a custom recovery if you want to just be safe, i would if i were you.
Thnx, will try auto rec again last time. What to do after install? Last time it installed, it opened and that was it, couldn't get it to reboot, do l need to do a back up first? What are the steps immediately after install?
