Hi can any Dev make a cwm flashable stock rom zip? Back to 1.8.3 . So we do not have to keep using rsd when we don't like or would like to change the rom. This might already be a work in progress I'm not sure. I for one would like to have one. Thank you devs for all of your hard work into getting this ATRIX phone unlocked and rooted

Can't you use CWM to do a nandroid backup/restore of 1.8.3? I thought you could but haven't tried it, so if anyone can confirm that would be nice.
DING! Wrong forum

Never even thought about doing that , sometimes the best answer is the simplest things. And yes if someone could please comfirm that this works , this would be much appreciated.
It does be sure to wipe everything before restoring 1.8.3 or it will boot loop. Wrong forum BTW.

Thank you jruweaver, and my apologies on not posting in the right forum.
And could someone post a link to a download for the cwm 1.8.3 AT&T stock rom for clockworkmod recovery.
So I got bored of waiting for Wind's OTA ICS update and them telling everyone "you get it when we get it" and i sent a ticket into HTC.. got this as the responce today.
I know how important it is to have the latest software available on your Amaze. I’ll be glad to help you. ICS updates for the Amaze are expected to release between June and July this year. Our goal is to give every customer the best possible experience on every phone. Every HTC phone is a combination of a unique HTC hardware and software experience and a core operating system, and thus, it can take some time for updates to be crafted and made available, as we want to make sure it will run as best as possible when released.
If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to let me know. Thanks for being an HTC customer and taking the time to contact us.
Let me know if I have successfully answered your question, please click here to complete this.

When you download the OTA, kindly pull the file from /sdcard/download (internal sd) and upload it for us please.

As soon as I get it, I'll be making it available.

I'm running it now. It was available at 6am when I awoke, and according to someone on Mobilesyrup, they had it downloading before 5...
---------- Post added at 08:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 AM ----------
Looks like it cleaned itself out of /Download/ - so I'm guessing anyone who hasn't done it yet, to get it BEFORE they start installing it. Otherwise it'll be gone.
For some reason when I try to check for updates - it just gets stuck and only shows the message checking.... but nothing happens.
Is this because I am rooted and/or have my bootloader unlocked? Or is it because I have CWM as my recovery?
I really hope someone can provide the OTA files so I can try and update through recovery.
Please someone save the file before updating and share!
looks like its 4.0.3...
anyone care to spew out the build #'s etc and versions of everything else?

You need to relock the bootloader and flash stock recovery before you can proceed.
Coworker re downloaded it from his download link in his task bar that was still there after his update..
OTA_RUBY_ICS_35_S_Globalive_WWE_2.14.1500.6-1.46.1500.3_release_.....zip
is the gibberish after the release part important or just gibberish?
also MD5 is c2ffbf956a5dbca3ae46a13eb277eee2
unzipped okay with no errors... going to assume this is a good redownload.
ill try to post it up somewhere.. suggestions on where.

Added to my dropbox, thanks mate.
thanks to violated - we now have the zip file.
sorry - a bunch of noob questions:
Do I still have to go to stock recovery and relock bootloader to use the zip file?
If not - do I just copy the zip file to the sd card and rename it to update.zip and install it from CWM recovery?
A walkthrough would be greatly appreciated! I don't want to brick my phone!
Lastly - if I want to keep all of my apps/settings - should I do a backup and then apply the update - then reload the backup?
Thanks in advance!

Nice.. gonna update my ROM with this stuff Thanks for posting those links guys.
As it says I rooted my phone, a samsung galaxy S3 through Sprint. I know I am not supposed to accept OTA updates, so whats the best way to keep up to date? Is there a sneaky thread somewhere? When I get the updates I assume I just flash them with odin and all will be good no interference with root access?
Thanks for the help.

Whenever updates are released, usually developers will incorporate them in their roms, and if you are just running stock, then usually someone will release the stock rom with latest update that will still keep you rooted.

I am just running rooted stock. Any good place to keep track of that info?
depends on update
it depends on the update as to whether you would need to get it or not.
the 2 updates so far sprint has put out have been ok,
several instructions are out there to help with install if rooted.
won't work if you have Clockworkmod as the recovery though, unless incorperated into the ROM

I have not worked with a custom rom before, though I am not opposed to doing so. What should I know about customer roms? I heard that CM9 was out for the S3 what do think of that as a custom mod.
its out as a nightly, basically a beta
i hear it gets rid of all the samsung goodies

Can we take firmware update if rooted and s on?
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
From what I've been told and understand, never ever take an update from the carrier. All the good stuff will be extracted and the bad left out with the next update of whatever ROM you are running... usually if not, find another ROM

You will lose root. Never take a firmware update (from what I've read) Only update profile and prl.

Are you able to go s-off? Sounds like you might be since you haven't taken any OTAs of course depending on when your got your phone too. If so then you should do it.
There are ways to upgrade your firmware without taking it via OTAs.
There are several threads in development that address your concerns.

Firmware upgrade a must ?
Hi, I would love to try the MeanBean2.4 ROM, I understand that a firmware upgrade would be a must ? I'm on Viper4G2.0.2 ROM and if I do a firmware update I'm sure my Viper4g rom will not load or run correctly. Is there a way to reverse a firmware update ? Can I do it via my installed TWRP 2.3.3 ? Currently I have S-Off Lazy Panda, Hboot 1.12.111, Radio 1.02.12.0427.
I like the Viper4G ROM, but getting old, has minor issues, got Gogole now working on my Viper rom but can't update via Play Store..no big issues, but I would still like to have the option to go back to this ROM. I did a full backup (Sys,Data,Boot,Recovery,Cache) via TWRP. Would a restore fix any mess created by firmware attempt ? Could I even get to TWRP after firmware update or a botched update ?
Any input would be greatly appreciated
Regards,
Julian

I do not expect an answer on my question if I can still run Viper4G2.0.2 after this upgrade (will ask Team Venom), however, would you know if I can revert back to the old Firmware ? Via TWRP or other method ? I hear renamig the old PJ75IMG.old that I left on the phone to PJ75IMG.zip and installing it to try to get old firmware is a bad idea and possible brick road ! lol

Reverting your firmware will indeed brick you AFAIK and you should be able to run Viper4G with the new firmware when I updated my firmware I was running an ICS rom I didn't notice any problems.
Going for it...
Well I think I'm going to try now, I still hope that by saving my original firmware file on my SD and then run TWRP Restore will get me back...or not ! lol Worse case I'll say goodbye to the Viper Rom... God help me, I love my EVO..ha haa

Congrats and you are very welcome
My phone is GT-i9300, original stock ROM is ICS, and i have update to JB through OTA which give me XXDLJ1.
Then I root my phone by :-
1. download mode, flash CF auto root via Odin.
2. restart, install Triangle Away and reset the flash counter back
I just want to have root.
So, the question is, why I'm getting "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available"
If root , then can not check for OTA update anymore?
Or is there any other way? To have root only and everything else like just stock and can check/download OTA again in the future.
Thanks in advance XDA

But if youre on xda why do you want the OTA update anymore? Just flash a stock rom, update via odin as and when a new stock rom is available and root each time.

Thats a question that I was about to ask. . I'm having a few problems with my S3, and I want to correct them but I need root.
I also want to keep it stock, I was a flash addicted with my previous phone, but now I don't have time and I just want something that works, and I want also to be able to check for updates. .
Looking forward to more replies.

As I understood, you won't get OTA updates if rooted whereas you can get updates via kies. Flashing them will remove root though.

Thanks for replying,
I'm coming from Galaxy S1, to S2 and now S3, and Samsung is not the same anymore for me, They really listen to the customer, and always improve their UI and apps. S3 is a solution/improvement for all S2 n S1 complaints.
So, it is really nice to see some app/mod which originate from here at first, been integrate to stock rom of s3 e.g. the toggle, n the lack of led light of s2 n s1
Btw, development means, to make something unusable to become usable,, to make something good to be better.
I think, it is really convenience to just have OTA instead need to find a PC just to hv update.
As my S2, i gain root just by flashing temp CWM recovery through stock 3e recovery n then flash root. It simple as that.

I guess it is the device status "modified". If I understood well you can only get "original" when you flash a stock rom and unroot but please correct me if I am wrong as I never went back to original state till now.

just how often do you think an OTA update is pushed out?
Just use mobile odin if you want to flash any stock roms without needing a pc. Youll get the update far quicker via xda/sammobile than waiting for an OTA one anyway
