Bootloader Safe OTA Update

---

Requirements:

1. A custom recovery.
2. A nandroid backup.
3. Stock files, sans root.
4. Optional, but recommended that you use this to backup root access first:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...otkeeper&hl=en

It shouldnt hurt root either, but make a nandroid to be safe.

If you lose root, try flashing this:

Updated: Removed tz.img because I don't think its needed.

So this is the OTA minus the new bootloader? So basically the new radios and the kernel patch only?

Trying this out but back up to two different locations just in case.

Yep, and whatever else it patches.

So I can just make a nandroid and flash it over Beans v6 and it should install the radios just fine right?

Nope. Check requirements

I added a third one in anticipation of that question.

1) Will this work for the Verizon version of CleanRom?
2) Do I have to unroot? The directions aren't clear to me. Sorry about that.
3) If I do have to unroot, can I just use OTA rootkeeper to root again afterwards?

All answered in first post (requirements).

Thanks

1. No
2. No
3. If you lose root.

Yes. There is no safe way (that I know of) to force patch files on a custom rom.

When I get home, I can make a deodexed patch file, but it will overwrite any custom changes you have.
