[Q] Updating Radio - Nexus One

Hi,
I'd like to know if I must have a rooted nexus one to update my radio version.
thanks!

Depends how you do it...
Some of the official Google updates include an updated radio also, so if you can install them, you will get the radio update with them.
The biggest factor is probably which version of Android you are currently on, which radio you currently have, and which radio you want, etc...?

You do not to be rooted. Flash radios via fastboot.

Which requires an unlocked bootloader...

Yes, It's not the only way but the easiest way. Not so easy if you're on gingerbread though because gingerbread root right now still under construction. You'll need to downgrade and root it. Or unlock the boot loader and flash custom rom to acquire root. You can easily flash radio via recovery. Easiest way.

What is the best radio rom (long-life battery)

[ROM] Android 4.2.2 | JDQ39 | Stock | Unrooted

This is just a flashable stock unrooted ROM for anyone wanting a copy to flash via CWM as opposed to fastboot. It was literally the JDQ39 system image dumped into the dsixda kitchen and thrown straight back out with NO changes whatsoever - it's not even deodexed! Useful if you need to use an app which can still detect root even after using a root-hider app (e.g. to watch Sky Go in the UK)
It is the 100% untouched, unmolested system image
Enjoy...

If you flash this, will you get OTA updates even when on a custom recovery?

Far as I know, OTA is dependent on the recovery. So you would still need stock recovery to pull the OTA.
Someone feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken. I came from an HTC monstrosity, and we all know how easy those are to modify.

So is this the latest stock JDQ39E?

But I will be able to install KLP through recovery when it comes out, if someone converts it into a .zip file, right?

Thanks for this really! I ended up pushing root after installing, it was a must
I went unrooted first and forgot TB wouldn't work. Kinda feels good to be on stock, nothing like regular N4 :thumbup: thanks again!

Hmm. Though we would get "Failed" upon an ota via s3 I remember regardless of recovery it would indeed update as well as patch recovery. But I'm not saying this is the case on nexus devices as this indeed is my first.

Hey swirly ..as you approach a possible flash coming from this flash able stock zip would you mind posting any positive results if any with your performance and battery? I have heard and at times on other devices found at times this does improve somewhat by the partitions being reset or to those lines etc. Thank you.

You didn't keep a stock from first flash?. I always do. Good ole flashback unroot then delete twrp (depending if really needed as s3 wasn't) then protect root with root keeper then unroot take ota then load saved root. If this doesn't work on nexus 4 I'd love to know but worked on RAZR rezound and s3..if not I'll report in a created thread via next update. My reason is I like having that true first stock backup. Good for fresh installs of custom when reverting first. IMO lol

Just a quick question. If you flash this and then flash stock recovery, can you basically unroot by doing that? It'll be much easier (at least in my opinion) of you could just flash the rom to unroot and go back to pure stock
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

Well the truth is that if you have cwm 6+ the OTA installs with no problem and if you are root, it keeps it too! Just for your information the OTA needs system ,bootloader, radio, boot.img unmodified.

TBH I made this to help people too lazy to flash the stock factory image from Google. I'd always recommend the factory image personally

Gapps requirement
Is gapps required after flashing the ROM?

Android 4.3 on 2012 nexus 7

Hello,
I have a 2012 nexus seven, do android 4.3 will work on it using normal android system upgrade from settings? Because it says that there isn't any update available.
And can I root the device normally afterwards?
And my data will be saved?

Over the air updates often take time to roll out. Give it time and the update will come.
Of course, you can root and flash a custom ROM based on 4.3, but unless you already have an unlocked bootloader, you will lose your data.

You'll lose root, but so long as you made no changes to the preinstalled /system portion of the ROM, the OTA should run without killing any of your data.

It can take a lot longer than that, several days or a few weeks sometimes.

If he has Superuser he can download OTA Root Keeper off Google Play to keep root when he installs the OTA or if he uses SuperSU instead, the pro (paid) version has an option to protect root.

This is why it pays to have an unlocked bootloader.
You would be running 4.3, rooted, and no loss of data if you did.

Not at this stage, it seems.

Yeah you are right. They updated their app to show it at the moment does not have 4.3 support. Rooting a Nexus device is easy enough, though, that I would not worry about it.

Just updated my nexus 7 via. OTA.

Finally got the update this evening! Had a notification to say it'd downloaded and was ready to install, but I was in the middle of fixing a Play Store issue which meant removing and reinstating my Google account...
Of course, this meant that the notification disappeared and I'm still stuck on 4.2.2 with the manual update via 'About tablet' not working.
If it's downloaded, can I assume that it's still somewhere on my device? If not, will I possibly have to wait days or weeks to receive the update again?!
I'm not rooted by the way.

Hey guys I have an unlocked bootloader and rooted device on 4.2.2. Just received ota update notification. If I proceed with the update will it keep root? When I updated via ota the past few times it kept root but with 4.3 I am unsure as I don't want to brick my device

No, not unless you install one of the 4.3 zips floating around XDA via custom TWRP recovery.

[Q] Do unlocked Bootloaders still receive updates?

My Moto G 4G is still not showing the Lollipop update here in the UK even though some people seem to have it.
Does rooting have an effect as well?

Oops I'm in the wrong forum.

If you are just rooted and haven't flashed a custom recovery then you should be able to get the update. If you are using a custom recovery then you will probably receive the OTA, but you won't be able to update until you are on a stock recovery.

[Q] How to get 7.0 on rooted N6

It's been a while since I've played around with my phone. I've been rooted since day 1 and run a few custom ROMS. However, obviously I'm not getting the pushed OTA. How can I get 7.0? Will I lose root? I don't mind if I have to re-root, just wondering.

Un-root your device and install the N firmware and then reboot. That way I'm sure you won't get a boot loop upon restart.

If you want to have root, and you have run custom ROMs before, why not just run a custom 7.1 ROM that already has root. YOu would just need to upgrade your bootloader and radio to the latest and flash a 7.X ROM.
