[Q] Trying to install 4.3 OTA

airtrons said:

My phone is rooted, and has TWRP custom recovery installed.

The phone automatically downloaded the OTA, and tried to install it. With TWRP, the update failed and my phone is working fine now.

I don't need the rooting anymore (was for teetering, but with new data plan it's now included). So I'm okay with losing the root and all.

Using SuperSU I deselected the rooting, and after reboot RootCheck tells me my phone is not rooted. I still have TWRP installed.

Now, I'm stock MF1/ 4.1.2. How do I install the 4.3 update and remove the TWRP recovery? I found in another thread the 4.3 Tar file. Do I simply use Odin on my PC and flash it on my phone? What about TWRP?

I had the same question myself, and have been proverbially "running around in circles" today (instead of working). Anybody have success flashing said Odin file and then upgrading via the OTA?

Ha! I came from a mytouch3g years ago, flashing incessantly. I got this phone so i could stop. Then rooted to take the ads away, and got a bit more than I bargained for... now I just want back on OTA stock.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Cheers

I ended up downloading the 4.3 files from another post here, and flashing it with Odin. Worked fine.

Of course, without a root, can't recover my apps from Titanium but oh well.

I wish I would have found this thread before starting my own... woops. Anyway I would like to install 4.3 and I too rooted with twrp. I don't care anymore if I am rooted or not. I stopped flashing roms and such a while back and will be upgrading this next year to the s5 most likely.

Is there a way to install 4.3 w/out removing root? If not, since I never used odin, and used twrp what steps do/should I take to get back to where I can install 4.3?

Thank you.
