No. All you need is an unlocked bootloader.

I have repeated my earlier testing using complete return to stock including the stock recovery. At the very end of it, the update "fails" because it can't execute the lines about the bootloader. However, on boot up, the phone has successfully been updated to the newest version including the baseband. Although you still get the error message "Update failed", it was successful. This is demonstrated both by looking at the stats in About Phone and by checking for updates.

So, regardless of whether you are using TWRP, as I did the first time, or Stock recovery, as I did this time, you can always get the update to install and get root back, IF your bootloader is unlocked.

Also - the whole OTA Rootkeeper bit - I actually skipped rooting my phone altogether before doing the update. Because I was able to manually restore TWRP recovery using Fastboot ( fastboot flash recovery twrp.img), I could then reinstall my root, or even restore a backup or flash a custom rom, whatever.

Finally - go back through this thread. You will find that the majority of people reporting success were using TWRP. The only ones I have seen having issues were CWM, and I haven't tested that yet.

People - unlock your bootloader if you haven't taken the upgrade yet. It will save you a lot of headaches.
[Droid RAZR M General] nuclear305:
Update went pretty easy for me with unlocked bootloader.

1) Updated TWRP and made a backup

2) Unrooted with Voodoo Rootkeeper

3) Took update

4) Rebooted and restored root with Voodoo

No issues; have the latest radio and system.
[Droid RAZR M General] Specter597:
Worth Mentioning

It is worth mentioning though - despite having no "issues" I did have to re-install TWRP after the OTA because the Update overwrites it with Stock Recovery <3a>.
[Droid RAZR M General] aviwdoowks:
I am not going to debate it. Many cannot get the new radio unless they use stock recovery.

Unlocking the the bootloader is a given issue (a must do).
[Droid RAZR M General] audiomixman:
I unlocked my bootloader. Installed TWRP. Backed up root with Voodoo. Forgot to unfreeze bloatware. Took the OTA and had partial success as I was upgraded except for the new radio. I installed .78p from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2375499 via TWRP and everything is fine.

If this update is mainly just the radio then perhaps someone may want to just try the above link?
[Droid RAZR M General] aviwdoowks:
I have not had the chance to try out the radio zip thanks for conformation that it works!

---------- Post added at 01:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 PM ----------

I did not stay on the updated stock long enough to tell if the screen jump got fixed.

Please don't tell us they locked the BL access and did nothing for the jumpy screen!
[Droid RAZR M General] audiomixman:
It works like a charm. The phone went through "updating xx out of 162" for a bit but then booted fine and runs fine. Radio is .78p. So thank YOU!
[Droid RAZR M General] WillisD:
Radio worked fine for me also
[Droid RAZR M General] AKShotgun:
So i was running stock 4.1.2, rooted, unlocked BL, and running twrp 2.3. I took the update, it booted into twrp ran the update (I didn't really look to much if I got error)then it took me back into twrp. I rebooted and it optimized all the apps. Under about phone it says system version 98.16.3 and how else would I tell the update ran correctly? And I did loose root but not access to twrp

[Droid RAZR M General] rayzamjr:
Got the update while traveling in Europe (downloaded over 3G without even asking my permission?!) but I didn't install as I was afraid of the consequences. Back in the US, I ignored the update message for a week but I figured out I may hit the install bottom accidentally eventually so better do it when ready and fix any issues now. Had unlocked BL and rooted, but hadn't removed any bloat ware (from a past experience, I learnt it the hard way to leave them alone or risk random error messages). So all I did was to install Voodoo, back up root and un-root temporarily, and then I did the update directly from the phone (didn't do anything with cache, etc). The phone restarted and did it things for a few minutes and rebooted without any errors. I checked and all the updates were applied. I easily restored the root via Voodoo again and also did the NV edit to unlock SIM for AT&T (as usual, had to try 4-5 times for it to stick).

I guess most if not all update issues are indeed caused by playing with the bloatware...

They are same rom. You are stuck. For root see my restore (2nd) link.
[Droid RAZR M General] HeliNut:
Thanks guys for replying so fast. I have been hitting the "install later" for months. Yesterday the browser kept freezing so I rebooted, when the phone re-started, the option to install the ota came up, I hit "install later" as usual. A few seconds later I went to open the browser, the second my finger touched the screen that install screen came up "again" and guess where the "install now" button is? Yep, right over the browser button, sucks to be me huh! Once the "devil" button is pressed there is nothing you can do so stop the UD from happening, short of smashing the phone!

So it looks like I will not be able to unlock the bootloader. I have been having sound (from the mic or mic settings) quality issues from day one, the replacement phone was a last hail marry attempt to try take care of both!
[Droid RAZR M General] sloosecannon:
You could've tried force rebooting... Not that it would help you now... Sorry to hear that...
[Droid RAZR M General] aviwdoowks:
You would've had to use the keys to keep it in fastboot & rsd'ed a restore.....
[Droid RAZR M General] HeliNut:
For any of you that are still hesitating to unlock your phones, I wish I could be in your shoes and still have that option! :( shoulda woulda coulda!

WARNING use caution when opening the browser, the "install now" button (when a downloaded UD is pending) appears in the area where the browser icon is (possibly the GP store also) on the home screen. You never know when it will pop up! I would recommend using the (other) Chrome launcher in the main apps menu just as a precaution. It is too late for me, but this little tip could save you some unneeded agony, and should also be applicable for future updates! Happy Modding.

Rock On Devs!
[Droid RAZR M General] sloosecannon:
This. So much this. Unlock while you can. Using the "install later" option is bound to fail sooner or later, I've even heard stories (not on the M, but still) about updates installing automatically without prompting the user after a certain amount of time...

This is the HD forum isn't it? Whatever, they're the same phone lol...
[Droid RAZR M General] trueCrusader:
Just noticing I've waded into almost the exact same discussion that happened in the Moto Defy forum 2 years ago, so I guess I might just quote the 1 major RSD reflash rule from over there that should also be relevant here for the sake of clarification

Any OTA installed usually also updates the bootloader to a new version too so you can NEVER return to stock using RSD unless you have a new SBF that supports the new BL version, since there is no original android development here that means poo poo to all of you that unlocked & wanna return to stock to try any new official update, you all now need to get a hold of a new SBF update as soon as it is available, if ever, or accept that your phone may be stuck in its current state forever if Moto drops all pre Moto x development as has been rumoured

Guess why they all say in every Root & Rom guide you wanna be absolutely sure before you take these steps

[Droid RAZR M General] jco23:
Hmmm.... Just read that unlocked bootloaders can still accept ota update from Motorola.
[Droid RAZR M General] sloosecannon:
You can stay unlocked post-OTA. For now at least...

Looks like moto is using a new update process... Only on the 4.1.2 OTA (3rd OTA released) did they lock down the ability to downgrade. If the bootloader is unlocked though, they can downgrade at will unless Moto can re-lock it

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] robertogl:
Hi!

I've done this with S2 here, it is time for S4 (i've tested only on I9505).

You can install using CWM. This will delete the stock messaging app and install the CyanogenMod app. Do a backup first!

1) Download from here.

2) 'Install from a zip' in CWM Recovery.

Done.

If you want to restore the stock app, you have to do the same thing with this zip. This will delete the CyanogenMod app and will reinstall the stock Samsung app.

Or you can install manually (old way).

1) You have to download Mms.apk (or you can use your, if you have cm10.1 installed, go to system\app and simple copy it)

http://d-h.st/6O4

2) With root explorer (or any other file manager, i've use es), copy mms.apk into 'system\app' in your Stock Rom.

a) You have to remove the stock messages app. You can use titanum backup (do a backup first!!) to remove it.

3) Set permission to rw- r- r- (like this http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/8...3030213355.png )

4) Reboot your phone :)

Done!

For any question, write below!

BUGs:

1) The widget, it doesn't show the sms using the order of time of received message, but it uses the time of the start of the conversation, so the list will be always the same (but it will show the last message for every conversation)

2) MMS doesn't work.

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] weekender90:
Hello, hello.

I have an Xperia J ST26i, stock JB firmware (11.2.A.0.31), rooted and with unlocked bootloader. A while ago, after I finally rooted it, I tried to install CWM Recovery - but I had problems entering it. After several attempts of reinstalation, it occured a soft brick (I think). (After the Sony logo - the red LED appeared and the phone turned off instantly.) Anyway, the only way I managed to start the ROM was flashing a new firmware, downloaded, unbranded, via Flashtool. I aborted any CWM Recovery instalation since then.

SO: here's my dilema. I want to get my J look like Z/ZU. I installed Xperia Z Home and Lockscreen (manually, since CWM is...dead or whatever). I also replaced the Walkman and Album apps (Walkman has now the pink icon - but no visualiser :( and the Album app is from ZU)

I really-really wanted the Z Conversation/Phone/Phonebook look (white). I have now installed Conversation, but Phone(book) and Dialer - I can't.

I read all the threads about porting these apps, and none work: some were for ICS only, or for deodexed ROMs only. How can I have those white apps on my odexed stock JB ROM? :confused:

Do I really need to deodex my ROM? How can I do that? I know that odexed ROMs are faster because of the /system .odex files (which carry information for some .apk). Does a deodexed stock ROM might seem slower than normal? Are there other riscs?

I saw some links with deodexed ROM for Xperia J. I know that I must flash it with Flashtool. I assume this process will delete all my data (apps, contacts, messages). Is there a way to restore all the apps and mods made before?

Please give me any advice. I recently wondered: why isn't there a Xperia T/V port for J - since it also has JB? Even the X10 had the well-known X10S, which is a GB ROM fully ported from Xperia S.

Thanks! :cyclops:
