[Verizon] Red exclamation point when trying to install JB.

Codec

I guess it's because I'm rooted, so has anyone uploaded a rooted versing of the Verizon JB?
 
Hey, I went ahead and moved this to the VZW All Things Root section. Thanks for understanding. :)
 
Being rooted doesn't prevent OTA updates, that's why you see so many complaints of people saying "I installed the OTA update and lost root".

Removing preinstalled apps can cause problems though.
Recently I read that if you aren't using the stock radio or bootloader would prevent the OTA update. I don't know if it's true.

Custom Recovery will also prevent an OTA from succeeding.
 
This assumes you have your bootloader unlocked!

Download the drivers for your phone if you don't have them already: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1191669&d=1342028159

Plug your phone in and install from the location you unzipped the drivers to.

You'll need the ADB/Fastboot utilities from here: our forums' mini-sdk

Download stock recovery for IMM76K: recovery.img

I just personally pulled it from a factory image so I know that's the one.

Download cwm from: http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-toro.img

Download the lastest Superuser from:

http://downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip

Extract the SDK tools. Place the recovery.img, clockwork-recovery-5.5.0.4-toro.img and Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip with them.

Open command prompt at the ADB location. You can easily do this by shift-right click inside the folder and "Open command window here."

Type: adb reboot bootloader

Verify your phone drivers are installed again, this time for fastboot.

Type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Highlight and enter recovery as normal to make sure it took the flash.

Once in recovery type: adb reboot bootloader

If you still had cwm, re-flash the recovery. If you had stock recovery again then continue on.

Type: fastboot boot clockwork-recovery-5.5.0.4-toro.img

This should bring your phone into clockwork while keeping stock recovery.

Flash the zip for the update just like you were before. When it's done, reboot the phone and make sure everything boots perfectly.

Now we'll get your root back!

Put Superuser-3.2RC-arm-signed.zip on your phone.

Type: adb reboot bootloader

Type: fastboot flash recovery clockwork-recovery-5.5.0.4-toro.img

Now enter recovery, flash Superuser-3.2RC-arm-signed.zip and reboot the phone.

Sometime you might have to flash cwm a couple times in order for it to really stay. Let us know if that's the case!
