Update after OTA 4.2.2 Lost root as expected, and followed procedure in post #2 to gain root back. Also updated OP file versions to current as of this post as they all worked successfully. Only thing I would note: If you get a "offline" notice after trying 'adb devices', be sure to check your...

Late response, but I'll answer for future users following this thread... Once your bootloader is unlocked by any means, no need to relock in order to follow this guide. We simply have to have it unlocked so we can gain root Drivers are probably the most common issues people have in any...

ah, so the file is actually: /lib/libwebrtc_audio_preprocessing.so not /lib/libweb/rtc_audio_preprocessing.so That makes a little more sense. On cp over the original file, as you discovered the /system partition needs to be remounted as writable before you would be able to make changes. You...

Curious, just went looking for "rtc_audio_preprocessing.so" in a factory 4.2 system.img and can not locate it, or the lib/libweb directory. Perhaps a third party app made these additions and thus the integrity check is failing as the files are unknown/unaccounted for? At any rate, I went ahead...

Some root procedures, or third party apps like Titanium Pro can make changes to certain system files that will cause an official update to fail. In your case, it appears at least "rtc_audio_preprocessing.so" located in "/system/lib/libweb" has been altered. The easiest solution is to flash the...

4.1.2 and 4.2.1 updates... Thought I would revisit the thread as we've had two updates since I wrote the above. I installed 4.1.2 OTA with no problems but as expected, I lost root and CWM. Because I'm lazy, I didn't worry over it much and then 4.2.1 shows up and also installed perfectly...

Also came from a Gnex. While I loved the unlocked freedom the device gave me, I had similar complaints over signal and battery life. I learned to work around battery life by having multiple chargers around all the time, but I finally had enough of poor signal and voice call quality. Note: I do...

I prefer to use the stock Mobile Hotspot app as I find it convenient and more reliable than third party apps. Although, I hear FoxFi works well ;) Here is a quick walk-thru using some free sql apps if you want to avoid paying for SQLite Manager. As always, all standard caveats apply - ie perform...

Why not just use the disable option via 'manage apps'? This way you can still receive OTA updates without having to unfreeze or replace removed apps. Disabled apps will also not appear in your app drawer or nag for updates.

Yes, I switch between several phones seamlessly by simply swapping the sim. Obviously the phones need to have clean ESN so keep that in mind if purchasing used.

Similar story here. Went from Bionic to Nexus as I wanted unlocked freedom. After a period of time I became tired of poor radio strength for data coupled with poor call reception/quality. After the Bionic received ICS OTA I decided to switch back temporarily. Night and day difference. My phone...

Not erasing bootloader makes sense - if the device gets rebooted, it wont know what to do. Although I thought I read somewhere that there was a fail-safe to prevent that from happening. Might try to find the reference. However, whats the danger in erasing radios? Could you not simply flash a...

Which patch for the rooted stock ROM are you referring to?

You can temporarily boot into a custom recovery using fastboot. Think of it as using a boot cd or usb stick to try out linux on your windows pc without affecting anything on you hard drive. The command would be: fastboot boot custom_recovery.img
