So I have read that users that get the OTA 2.1 update are able to downgrade back to 1.5. Now my question is; (being this is true and factual) If leakers do end up receiving the OTA 2.1, would we be able to downgrade to 1.5 and then root?
I know most leakers that are anxious for OTA 2.1 are wanting to leak. Myself included. Which is why I figured this question would be helpful to keep our hopes alive!
Thanks!
You should do a bit more reading. The leaked versions changed the hboot to 1.49. To root you need to have 1.46 or 1.47. There is currently no way to downgrade 1.49.

Ngmanis, it depends on how, if ever, they deliver the OTA to leak users.
It's very possible that they do what they did for 1.5 users and send them an update file without a new bootloader, and they could do the same for 2.1 leak users.
If they do this, leaked users will not be able to downgrade to 1.5 nor will they be able to root.
If, however, they release a method to downgrade to 1.5 (which would have to involve downgrading the bootloader) then you should be able to root from there.

My GF has a Eris that Received the 2.1 OTA a couple weeks back and wants me to Flash it... Can i use the same procedures as i would on a 1.5 Stock Eris? Or is it not possible to root a 2.1 OTA?

I have a HTC Evo 4G with software version 3.30.651.3 from an OTA update. Is it possible to downgrade to the stock 3.30.651.2 rom then root the phone or is it to late to do anything after I accepted the OTA update?
I am trying to root my phone and use the stock rom. I am looking to root so that I can use OpenVPN. Any help would be great.
Okay I got a notification that there is a system update available. I am currently at:
Android Ver. 2.3.4
HTC Sense Ver 3.0
Software number 2.08.651.2
Kernel ver 2.6.35.13-g84f8edd
PRI ver. 1.31_003
PRL ver 21081
H-Boot 1.5
I am not sure what this update is. I have not rooted yet, but plan to. I know I already have to use the HTC unlock, but want to make sure that this update will not keep me from using any of the methods we have to flash kernels. Anyone know what this update is and if it could prevent me from doing anything in the future?

The .3 update won't keep you from using htc's method.
It is the security update to patch some of the dangerous security holes caused by Carrier IQ.

I would never do any ota updates. any update worth putting on my phone can be done by the devs here.
Thanks. I have no need to root right now. I don't need to tether yet and the ROMs I want are not yet ready for the 3D. Plus I am hoping they come up with a way to do a full s-off rooting and don't want to do anything now that I cannot undo later.
I've got a rooted HTC Flyer 3G running Gingerbread. Due to problems with cwm I don't trust the cwm backups.
Now an OTA update on HC is available for my device. I know I'll probably lose root but that would be ok for me.
Is ist possible to OTA update without serious problems?

Hi every one
There is ics for s on?
The official OTA (Over the Air) ICS Update has been released some days before. If you dont modified your phone you should go to settings -> Software Update or something like this. And there should be an update for you. If you have a modified ROM on your phone, you won't be able to download this. Then you need to search the forums for Unlocking/getting S-OFF.
Ok
I want to do but I don't know several things.
Can you tell me exactly what I need to start?
