Yes, you could do that. But why? Just flash the full, rooted stock ROM.

Ok so I am new at root on this phone. I have root with s-off and stock rom. Can some one post steps for us new guys to the new ota that is out using "Stock Rooted Odexed 1.22.651.3"? Stock rom is odexed correct?
Also should we wipe the Cache, Dalvic, Cache and system?
Do we need to do a factory reset?

Rooted with zedomax how to ota?

I am stock, locked, s-on, and rooted with zedomax one click so i could use wifi teather and titanium backup. How can I apply the ota and still keep root? If that's not possible what do you recommend?
Are u using a custom Rom? If you are then wait for one of the Rom developers to incorporate the latest ota.

Noob here don't know how. I thought I couldn't flash any Roms with zedomax one click root method and locked s on. Detailed instructions would be greatly appreciated.
Can someone be straight up with me and tell me why no one has answered my question?
no one will give you a straight answer because what you want to do is kinda not recommended on any device.
general rule of thumb is not to ota after root. so what you should do is get s-off using lazypanda which allows for flashing of custom roms and such and follow my guide that is in my signature to make sure that it goes smoothly (but ignore the part of flashing fresh rom, you can do it on stock with just root) then once you achieve s-off you can either stay stock and wait for a rooted version of the newest update for you to flash through twrp or you can flash any other rom (i run flex 360's rom, i find it the smoothest rom ive tried) and then just flash the radios from the newest update which will give you all of the 3g improvements (which is basically all you need, you can flash roms based off of the newest update at a later time)
if you need any further help feel free to pm me at any time and i will help you out
edit: also, after re-reading your original post, there is no way to keep root after ota so if you accept it you will have to wait for another root exploit which may take a while.
Can you give us new guys a step by step instructions for installing the new ota update> I have stock rom phone rooted with TWRP. Do we need to do a factory reset and clear the Cache, Dalvic Cache and System or can we just install the Odexed zip?
He can't flash a Rom guys, he can't get a custom recovery.
Op, get s-off first and the. Get your recovery and flash a romt

Help removing TWRP after unrooting?

I was rooted with stock 4.0.3 and unrooted so I could do the OTA update. Now, unrooted, TWRP is interruping the OTA update on the install. How can I remove TWRP?
Thanks!
You aren't fully unrooted.
Also, I would highly suggest just flashing the updated ROM. You should never unroot in order to take an ota and then reroot

I've read mixed opinions on this. Many Dev's have said just to unroot using the TWRP, then install the OTA, which is what I tried, and now TWRP opens up in the install process. As far as still being rooted, I cannot do anything that requires root, so I assume I am unrooted.
I prefer to OTA update. I've had too many issues with updated rooted ROM's in the past, so I would rather not flash a ROM.
I dont think removing twrp will do anything for you. You need the stock recovery to flash an OTA. You would need to RUU to stock after relocking your BL and then take the OTA if thats what you wanna do. Unless there is a stock recovery floating around to flash in twrp. In the past for every phone I have every tried you need the stock recovery to flash the OTA update.

Bad idea. What Roms are you using? There are fully stock rooted Roms available that the only difference is they are rooted. That is the only coding or programming difference. You are spending a lot of time dong something that doesn't need to be done. You can get everything you need from a stock odexed rooted ROM. Plus you having to wipe the slate clean on your phone each time there is an ota.

Nobody is answering your question because they don't want you to unroot...smh
Just flash the stock recovery. Make sure that first you're on an odexed ROM, then flash the stock recovery, then search for the OTA update and install it.

Know anywhere I can find the stock recovery? I'll have to go back and re-root the phone as well, since I am unrooted at this point.

Thank you for the quick reply, but i don't really understand which ROM should i flash. Can i just factory reset? and do the OTA?
Chainfire is not supported on our evos, you will soft brick every time. You have to flash a new Rom. Either flash a Rom and kernel separately or flash a Rom with kernel installer like meanrom

om4, thank you for the reply. I've read your Dont' Panic thread, would it be possible to flash the boot.img alone? can i flash with the latest RUU ? or is there a latest stock ROM available, because i only get from search is the previous stock ROM
2.13 stock deodexed with root

Thank you very much om4, the link in OP thread is dead but i can manage to find Captain_Throwback link.Do i need to relock the bootloader? and I still need to flash the kernel after i flash it with the deodex stock right?
If i decide to go with the mean rom, should i re-lock the bootlader or just straight flashing the rom after clean wipe and factory reset?
If you flash meanrom you don't need to relock bootloader. Only relock the bootloader if you are getting ready to flash ruu or if you are trying to accept an ota. To accept an ota you would need a stock Rom and recovery before relocking bootloader

Now that I'm S-Off, i want a Gingerbread rom. Currently ICS Stock Rooted

Ok, Now that I'm S-Off, i want a Gingerbread rom. Currently ICS Stock Rooted, with unlocked bootloader.... My question is..... Since i'm S-Off, can i just find a Gingerbread Rom and flash it, or do i need to flash Stock GB Rom first, then Root, then flash Rom??? What would be my steps?

Not sure for 100% if that would perfectly work for the downgrade - but you might want to backup first and then to give it a try:

Have fun!
You don't wanna go back to Unrooted Stock Rom,no?Then all you have to do is,flash ROMs whatever you want to..Does't matter GB or IC.
Iirc to flash ruu you must lock bootloader
why for goodness sake would you want to go back to gb?
Sig:
What do you mean I can't say that??!!.. It's the fkin Internet!
ICS pains?....since you are s-off you can do whatever. Backup, download GB Rom, Speedrom 1.4, Quicksense or Bulletproof 2.5 (if you could find it) or Kumar's simple Roms. Do a complete wipe and then flash through recovery. I recommend 4Ext. Good luck.

you dont need to unroot to change roms you should be able to flash any rom (as long as you have the right recovery and what not)
If your talking about just stock ROM rooted and wanting to get the 4.3 OTA then im 99% sure that once you root which (means you unlocked the bootloader) you cant receive the OTA anymore. im not sure if its worth the hastle of relocking the bootloader to maybe see if youll get the ota. just flash a 4.3 rom and youll be good.

cool thx im gonna try to flash a 4.3 rom
so i flashed this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2499452 and now super user says there is no SU binary installed , if you upgraded to android 4.3 , you need to manually re-root-consult the relevant forums for your divece . could anyone help me out here i dont know what to do, do i need to re root the phone?
All you have to do is download chainfire latest superuser zip and reboot into recovery and choose it and install it .
You don't need to reroot if you already flashed a Rom..that means you was able to flash it cause u was rooted .
You just need to install superuser zip.
