Updating modified phone

I have a custom rom (Omega v6.0) and franco's kernel.. The phone wants to upgrade now (I froze the update thingie with titanium backup before it started downloading) so I was wondering will it screw anything up if I do? Unroot it? Do something with the rom or kernel? Or can I go right ahead? Thanks
Bump
There are many threads about it.
Yes it will unroot your phone.
Yes you will loose all and any modifications Omega brought or you patched yourself.
Yes you will loose all System apps Omega brought.
If you have a custom recovery the update should fail to install.
Sorry if this have been brought up before, I tried to find something but I guess my search skills are lacking. Thanks for the answers.
Another question; How important are these updates? When I install a new version of Omega it wipes everything anyway right? And the OTA or the significant updates may be included in that new custom rom, correct?
Sorry, first smartphone here

No need to be sorry, search kind of sucks anyways.
Yes your custom ROM will likely be patched to include any beneficial changes
Superb. Thanks

[Q] How to Deodex in the easy way a Stock ROM?

Hi!
I need help to Deodex a Stock Firmware of SGS3. I've tried a lot of methods posted here in XDA, but no one of these was really ''simple'' to do or understand. Of course I've seem the Deodexed Roms avaliable here in XDA, but I need to deodex the Brazilian Rom.
I tried with all the guides avaliable, but it didn't worked. If Someone (please) could help me, I will really appreciated this.
Thanxxx! Cheers from Brazil!
Can you not just use one of the available deodex'd roms but with a CSC and modem that works best in your area?

[Q] Installing new Rom?

Hi all!
I would really like to install a new unofficial ROM on my s3.
Here's the question: I am currently using I9300XXEMC2, the device is rooted and I already installed CWM Recovery and Rom manager.
Can I install Omega ROM (Based on beta firmware XXUFME7) straight from the I9300XXEMC2 fw?
Thank you for the answers.
Peace and love <3
I would recommend using recovery directly. You may or may no0t need to wipe. Please have a look at the link in my signature "read before rooting" to help you understand the basics

Hi and thank you for your answer.
I red the thread in your signature, but it didn't help (or I didn't see it) for my question.
My question is: do I need to install a new BB, before flashing the rom, if I want to flash a rom based on a different BB from the one I'm currently using?
Thank you so much in advance.
(Sorry for bad english, I'm italian ^^ )
The rom is installed over the old rom. It replaces it entirely. You can flash any rom over any other rom except you may need to wipe data for the reasons explained in the "read before rooting" thread.
Roms are not based on bb's (if you mean baseband). Any baseband should work on any rom. Always backup efs (again in the thread I suggested you read). Whether the thread answers a particular question or not is irrelevant. You really need to know all of it

In this case a full wipe is probably necessary to go from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2
Thank you so much!
This is not my first time flashing, anyway thank you for the thread, I red it all, and yeah, I was talking about the baseband^^
Thankyou, problem solved, moderators: you can close this thread.
Thanks again XDA for the fast help you provide

IFC6410 recovery?

I have an ifc6410 board and I am trying to cook up some roms for it, basically just work on my rom building. I was wondering is there a generic way to install a recovery on this board so that I can flash zips? Or something like this... I am pretty much open to any disscussion on ifc6410 programming be it rom help, how to get Gapps on the board, or a custom recovery, Thanks!

Hi,
I know this a really old post, but i am also trying to cook a ROM for IFC6410. I just wanted to know as to what process did you use and were you successful with it.
I did try to use Android kitchen,but i am a skeptical to go ahead and flash before i know the process for recovery. So, i would like to know how you did it.
Thanks,
Shreyas

[Q] How can CWM be built in a kernel?

I was learning about android, bootloader etc in xda wiki and I read somewhere that the recovery has its own kernel, so it can load even when the firmware is damaged. Ok, but then i read that some custom kernels have CWM built-in. How can a kernel and a recovery be built in another kernel?
Sorry if I expressed it badly or misunderstood something.
And sorry for my bad english, I'm brazilian.
