Hey guys is there a way to root the phone without a pc ? I used to do it without before jelly bean
can anyone put a copy of Analog Simple clock apk for me here for my galaxy reverb ty
Are you stock rooted? What ROM and what baseband?
Sorry. Yes, I'm using the ROM that the phone came with (ICS). I followed mystichunter's instructions on how to root with Poot. I don't know what you mean by "baseband" though.
Thanks.
Baseband is by Android version on about phone under system settings.
Did you remove any stock files?
If you only rooted you should be able to follow force update in OP. Accept download and let it install. You will need to unlink all apps as you will lose root. After update you can follow root process in OP.
To Force the Jelly Bean Update see comments by NerdusMaximus:
Force OTA update

Sadly, that link seems to be broken. I assume this is the set of directions I should be following.
Does the JB update replace the recovery with a JB-version of recovery?
The reason I ask is that I previously installed CWM recovery when the phone was running ICS and it was my understanding that stock recovery was required in order for the official JB update to succeed. So I reinstalled the stock recovery (from xInterlopeRx http://androidforums.com/reverb-all-things-root/657374-oudhs-soft-brick-cwm-recovery-support.html) before the JB update.
Now it looks like I'll have to re-install CWM recovery in order to get root access under JB. So my concern is that if I ever need to go back to stock recovery, will the stock recovery from when the phone was on ICS work?
I have not removed any stock files. I'm using stock ICS 4.0.4 baseband version M950VPMB3.
I'll post my progress so I don't get confused and make a mistake.
Thanks.

From your post it looks like you have cwm recovery. You need to use Odin to push stock recovery. The update requires the stock recovery to work.
Of course.
Question #1 is "How do I do that?"
Question #2 is "Will that preserve my data or will it wipe me clean?"
Thanks.
