I had this on my old Galaxy Nexus and was wondering if anyone could do it here or if it is even possible. I don't have access to a PC atm, nor will I the following week or so, and I want to be "compatible"with the new 4.3 Roms I am using so a flashable zip of the new fw would be absolutely splendid.

Hello all...
I just read about Android 2.2 Froyo that is scheduled to come out sometime within the next few months. What I am wondering is will I get the OTA update pushed to my phone from Google and will I be able to update?
I am running CyanogenMod 5.0.6-N1 on my Nexus One.
I apologize if this seems like a dumb question but I am a newbie to all this.
OTA will be gone after rooting, but the update will still be available for root users to be applied through recovery.
It might even leak to root users sooner as was done in the past

Hey KnightMAREcrow...
Thanks for the reply.
But I don't understand what you mean by the update will still be available for root users to be applied through recovery. Huh?
Again sorry if this is a stupid question but I'm learning all this as I go.

If you have rooted your phone (which you have to install cyan), you will need to put back stock recovery and stock rom in order to successfully install the OTA. What Knight said was that, usually updates such as Froyo/2.2 will be out for rooted users like you through Cyan or other Roms, so you do not have to install stock rom/rec. Just wait it Out!
Ohhhhh ok so the next Cyanogen Update should incorporate all the features that will come with Froyo....GOT IT!!!!
Thanks for the lesson...much appreciated!
Even though you aren't getting a notification about the OTA - rooted users will still be able to download a .zip and flash it through recovery just like a custom ROM. This version specifically though will not be the one Google released, I believe they will change things to in order to make it usable by us rooted users.
I don't know really though, but it looks like that is what happened with the previous OTA. Cyanogen will integrate Froyo's features into his ROM regardless, so I guess it really doesn't matter.
I just recently rooted and started flashing ROMs on my T-Mobile HTC One. Something I only just noticed is that I lost the ability to make calls via wifi. Is there a ROM that will give that back to me? I don't use it often, but it would be nice to have it back.
Thanks.

This is a typical issue for custom roms. When I asked they told me that they were waiting on T-Mobile to release an update.
Only the source for 4.1.2 rom has been released, so order for that to work you will have to use a custom rom that is 4.1.2 and supports T-Mobile. Since most custom roms are now 4.2.2, that means you will have to go back through the roms older versions and run one that is 4.1.2. Basically, unless you need it badly, there is no reason to run an older rom just for that. The 4.2.2 source should be available before long and then that feature will be included in custom roms running 4.2.2 for T-Mobile.
Ah ok, that makes sense. I don't usually need it. I'm going out of country here soon, and was going to use that rather than international rates. No big deal. Thanks all!

Hey, i just wondered if its possible to get a cmw/twrp flashable zip of the newly release 4.4 for teh dev edition, so that one could just flash it on a phone like any other rom?
Thanks
Hey guys! My apologies if this is a redundant question, but I just wanted to be sure:
If ASUS decides to actually put out an official KitKat update for this thing eventually, would I still be able to try it out / install it normally *after* I've unlocked?
If so, what exactly would be my procedure? Will I be blocked from getting or installing the OTA, or would the process be no different?
There's been some great progress it seems on custom ROMs for this thing. I'm a bit gun shy admittedly, as running custom ROMs on previous devices led to a lot of instability. I guess I want to ensure I'll still have the option to try out a future official build if I choose. Thanks in advance!

Yes you will definitely be able to update to KitKat once released. However you won't be able to get the OTA update automatically sent to ur tab once u unlock it. But its pretty simple to get it. After Asus has pushed the ota to devices, the also upload the firmware to their website. U would simple download that and place it in the root of ur internal SD, and reboot. Tab will recognize the update, and give u notification for installing it. And u continue with that. Very simple.
And as for the Roms , the cromix ROM is by far very stable ROM. I have tried it for very long time, and has no issues at all, and the plus side is u can do a lot of customizations yet the ROM still runs faster than stock. I strongly recommend cromix ROM.

Thank you! Answered my question perfectly. I think I'll pull the trigger on unlocking here soon. Cheers!

Your welcome and have fun, which I'm sure you will

This is not 100% true. The current official ROM will only flash with the stock recovery installed and not a custom one, so I would assume the same for any update.
It's not an issue to flash the stock recovery back but it will be an extra step.
Also if and when an official KitKat comes out you will more than likely have to wait until a new recovery is made that is compatible for a custom ROM after that.

I never understand why people are pining for the stock rom - no matter which version or update....
I would feel helpless and lost with only the stock recovery! Lately I've been trying to help several people on stock firmware with corrupted data, no custom recovery, no root, locked bootloader.... You're toast!
All you can do is send it in to Asus and pay a bundle! Whereas unlocked you just fire up fastboot or custom recovery and start to fix it!
Besides - once Asus releases a KK version for this tablet you can bet your.... house that sbdags will have a custom version of it out in no time. And it's going to be better than Asus firmware, receive frequent updates, can be flashed with a custom recovery....
A no-brainer IMHO

I already have the DOJC .TAR file, I'm just wondering if anyone had the 68.58 meg OTA?
If anyone is willing to share it, I'm just curious on what was changed..
What I already know is we got a new bootloader and modem.bin..
At least someone out there has to have it, or know how to pull it from their device?..

I'm not looking for the .TAR image..
Its the 68 megabyte update... Most of it I have, the bootloader and the Modem.bin..
I already have the G920TUVS3DOJC image.. and using my own personal deodexed version..
I just wanted to see what actual files were changed.. Much easier from a small update verses the 3gig image..
It maybe after New years before activity here picks back up..

Sorry I couldnt help - I don't get updates thru the phone that way - I am on ATT and usually have to wait for a rom to download with the latest firmware or I download the whole tar
I hope you find what you are looking for -
Where would it be located at on the phone? Mine downloaded the updated but haven't applied the update.

Any chance you'd be willing to share that deodexed version? Especially if you're rooted?
I haven't been able to find a deodexed and rooted version of this anywhere.
Custom ROMs are fine and all, but sometimes I'd rather just have the stock but rooted and deodexed so I can run Xposed. I can always disable the bloat via TiBu.

I'm still working on a couple experimental builds.. None are available for public use..
However take a look at this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...nt/rom-sow-nice-rom-v1-0-oi1-tweaked-t3229591 It's updated to DOJC and is the ROM I am using at this very moment..
I plan on releasing a pure stock experience, but I'm having a few minor issues that I would like to iron out before I make an official release.. The link I provided is an amazing ROM.. It's close to stock as one can get with a few tweaks that make it all the better..

Were you able to successfully update to the new DOJC? I have put this version on my S6 and I am experiencing serious cell standby issues. I have never turned on VoLTE for calling and this is bugging me. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced similar battery life/cell standby issues with this new update. I flashed it via ODIN but am seriously considering a full wipe at this point.
