So I'm on stock right now and have 4.0.2.
I am rooted and have CWM recovery and changed the name of the system recovery file.
Will I be able to upgrade to 4.0.3 somehow without wiping my phone?

Okay guys, just wanted to report back here with what I found last night (was up waaay too late to hunt-down this thread to update then
):Q: can I get/install an OTA if I have a custom recovery (ClockworkMod) installed?
A: nope
Q: can I then just re-flash the stock recovery and then get/install the OTA?
A: yep
Q: can I be rooted and get/install an OTA?
A: yep
Q: do I lose root access at that point?
A: yep
Q: what do I do then?
A: invoke custom recovery and re-install the su.zip root package

Very helpful, as always!!!
Thx scary alien
Simple, boot into fastboot (POWER+VOL UP+VOL DOWN)
then navigate to recovery mode using the Vol UP and Vol Down button
If its CWM, it should say something like "ClockWorkMod Recovery Mode v5.x.x"
I'm rooted but stock otherwise, GMS Nexus, still haven't received the 4.0.2 OTA. I was under the impression this was *because* i had rooted, but this thread leads me to believe i should have been fine (lost root though) with the OTA.
Is it really *still* rolling out? i feel like everyone else has had it for weeks now.

Hm.... I got no answer for this, perhaps someone more knowledgeable can answer?
I'm not more knowledgeable re. this
p) since I don't have the GSM version of the GNex. I got my 4.0.2 update on my LTE VZW Gnex almost immediately after turning on the device.I assume you've done the "Settings -> About phone -> System updates" check and that your Android version does indeed read "4.0.1"?
I also got the OTA pretty quickly on the few times that I flashed back to stock 4.0.1 to test how the presence of a non-stock recovery impacted installing the OTA.
I suppose w0bbl3r could backup his files and flash the device completely back to stock 4.0.1 and see if the OTA comes in (it may not be immediate--I had to wait up to 15 minutes or so and did the "check for system updates" thing a few times (although I think it was actually downloading in the background at least once when I did this)).
Hope that helps...cheers!

Merged what threads together?
Oh, that looks like that happened way back on December 16th...
I can't see what threads they were, but there were undoubtedly a few other threads with similar titles and content. You may not have noticed right away if this was the thread that the others were merged into.
Hope that helps
.Cheers!
We will only merge threads that are about the same topic. If you wish to try to go back and figure out which posts were from another thread it is up to you
generally if you are reading a thread and understand what is going on with the last few posts as well as the OP then you will not need to go back and read every post between then and now IMO.Welp, had to get the phone swapped as it literally commited suicide overnight.
new phone is 4.0.1, no updates available.
offhand, any changes to unlocking/rooting with 4.0.2 and 4.0.1? As i've only done the latter
Bummer w0bbl3r, but I hope your new phone is better than your first.
No, there's no procedural differences between rooting 4.0.1 and 4.0.2... I would suggest using the ClockworkMod rooting method:
- unlock bootloader
- flash or soft-boot ClockworkMod
- install / flash the su.zip file from ClockworkMod
- reboot and you are rooted
Let us know if you have questions.
Cheers!
You get a two-fer: CWM installed (without having to boot an insecure boot.img) and an easy way to install the root binaries (simple install / flash of the su.zip file).
Superboot is still a great way, too
.Whatever method gets you rooted and your comfortable with is the best
.Cheers!

OTA 4.02 fail
Nexus, rooted, fails with OTA update to 4.02
UK gsm model,
Clockwork Recovery installed to give nandroid backup.
Not sure what 4.02 really brings to the mix, but will definitely want to update to 4.03 when it's ready.

Yeah, the custom recovery you have installed is keeping the OTA from successfully applying.
You should be able to (fairly) easily re-flash your stock recovery. See this post here:
How to restore stock recovery
The only caveat being that those instructions reference the 4.0.2 version. You can try extracting the recovery.img file yourself from the 4.0.1 stock recovery images, or if you really need me to, I can extract and post-up the 4.0.1 file for you. Let me know.
Cheers!
