My Eris has the 3rd 2.1 leak (Build 2.26.605.4) which seems to be working great so far,(Phone is not rooted) and whenever the official OTA ROM gets released and posted on this site, I should have no issues upgrading?
Thank you!

Got you...thanks!
Please put non development questions in the appropriate forums, and please use the search function.
agree with what jcase says, but i feel like being in a giving mood right now.
no one knows for sure when you can upgrade from any of the leak builds to the official build, but it is concluded with almost full certainty that yes, you can upgrade to the official version from a leak version. also, you dont have to get the official version from here, even tho it will most likely be on here. if it is sent via OTA then you should be able to get the upgrade through there.
leak versions go as follows:
1. 2.1 leak v1
2. 2.1 leak v2
3. 2.1 leak root
Official ROM

So if I have this: 3. 2.1 leak root I am rooted? How would I check?
Just to clarify, the 2.26.605.4 is the SECOND 2.1 leak, not the third. As far as I know there has not been a 3rd leak yet.
@TDianna: If you have 2.1 leak you do not have root unless you went from 1.5 stock to a 2.1 rooted rom.

What number is the 3rd leak and If I install it and root it will I still have access to the OTA update?
GRDLCK has a all-in-one rooting program. I wonder if this will work....sorry, I am just a little concerned about bricking my phone.
Never mind...it helps when you read the post....this all in one program is for 1.5/6 users.
2.1 Leak
Here is a pic of what I have installed.
no your not rooted.
2.1 Leak
Thanks,
I have read in a post that the rooted 2.1 has many issues. I am just going to stay put on what I have right now and wait............for the OTA of 2.1.
Thank all of you for answering all my questions!
-Tony
Thats what i have and im rooted theres a way you can go into the sdk at the cmd and it will tell you if you phone is rooted btw i am using the 2.1 v2 rooted rom the only diff. is the radio.
Just for my own clarification, the 3rd "2.1 root" is a special cooked ROM that is used to get root users the latest 2.1 software.
It CANNOT be used to by those of us who flashed the 2.1 leaks, that are NOT already rooted, right?
Ok...I have the 2.1 v1 leak. I've read in a few posts that I may be able to do the maual OTA 2.1 then be able to root. Is this true...or not? Most of the discussions are on v3 leak. I think it was in Android forums where I read that v1 has the old HBoot that was rootable. Is that correct or am I still screwed??

You're still screwed. You can't do the OTA update and you can't root. None of the leaks can.

Yep, he's correct. I'm also on leak v1 and I can tell you for a fact the it did change the hboot to 1.49. That makes it unrootable at this point in time. This has been said many times before, but it's worth mentioning again.
THE OTA UPDATE (whether manually installed or installed OTA from Verizon) DOES NOT TOUCH THE BOOTLOADER. IT DOES NOT UPGRADE IT, NOR WILL IT DOWNGRADE IT.
I wasn't yelling or anything above...just made it nice and big so it gets noticed easily and read. Also, leaks can't install the OTA update anyway, the phone just returns an error no matter how you try to install it..
Is it possible to take a OTA update while rooted? I am still on the stock Rom. And if so, will it unroot me?

Wrong!
You can take the update, it will unroot you, AND if the new update includes a new HBOOT it will flash over and give you a security warning and/or S-ON.
your best bet is to wait a few hours and someone will make a rooted version of the new ota... but chances are we will have the ota update weeks before it is ever pushed to any non rooted phones... at the moment .6 is stock.. and all the roms are .9 so all I"m waiting on is a new radio update to hopefully fix this wacky 3g signal I get

What he Said but I Think you have to be Rooted Running stock kernel/Rom for it to even take the OTA

If it detects you are a lower version then the OTA it will still attempt to upgrade.
Ok. From what I understand, the OTA won't automatically install if I am rooted. Which is good. But if I wanted to I could force the OTA to install?
But from what some people in this thread say, it's not worth it, and I could just get a unrooted version of the OTA from here at some point?
Is that all correct?
I am only interested because I heard there was a big OTA coming on the 16th, and I expect that it will fix a bunch of random stuff on the TB. So I'd like to get it.
I'm pretty sure you need to have stock recovery installed to install the OTA. If using CWM it will not install.
Wow this is interesting...i flashed a new radio yesterday is this the new ota update.
jcase said he thinks the leaked ruu is supposed to be the first OTA.
Hi, I updated ota to android 2.3.3 for my evo 4g. I'm a noob so bear with me. I'm unimpressed with 2.3.3 and I want to install the kingdom revolution sense 3.0 rom. From my understanding, the first step is to root. However, it seems that there isn't any root available for this software update. Is there anything I can do besides wait for possibly unrevoked 3 to be updated? I also need to install amon ra so that I can install the rom. If my thought process isn't right please correct me. I've never tried modding my phone before. Thanks.
bump bump. can i get an answer here??
Unless your S off you'll need to wait til a New root is released Im guessin weeks rather than days. Just keep an eye out when its releases it will be obvious

Alright thanks man. I'll be on the lookout.
Same situation here. Been meaning to root for a while but didn't start digging until this week after I had already taken the OTA gingerbread update.
Been asking in #unrevokedtest on freenode, nothing yet. Hopefully they get this going.
I got a replacement evo with 2.3.3 PRE INSTALLED when they said they re-called the 2.3.3 update and not to update it was pre installed so im either waiting for a new root also or till my 3d evo comes on the 24 I was order number 1

My Evo was rooted ising unrevoked3 + unrevoked forever. When i updated OTA to GB 2.3.3. I first had to unroot my evo,but i didnt use the s-on patch bcuz i thought that as long as i was s-off i could root my device.again once updated,but the only thing it did was make it so i could roll back to 2.2. So my Evo is using the official GB 2.3.3 update & is S-off. Ive tried every root method i can think of,including GingerBreak,which did qork on a few other devices. Since i can still rollback to 2.2, i can stkll flash other GB roms,but i like Sense too much,its one reason i like HTC devices. If anyone knows how to root the evo with 2.3.3 with s-off please post for everyone like me. This is the.first time unrevoked hasnt been able to.root my evo aftr an OTA update,but the past updates were still uaing 2.2.
I also havnt heard of a recall on the GB Evo update. A Sprint rep told me that the evo will most likely get the update to 2.3.4,but he hasnt heard of a recall. He said the netflix app should be working again within 3-6 weeks from the update.
Any word why the update has been recalled. Evrythings been workin for me,xcept when using talk-to-text for sms msgs. It seems almost as stable as the final 2.2 update. The first 2.2 froyo version on the evo had mor bigs/glitches than the current 2.3.3 update. It would be nice if they reissued/resent a new GB update making the talk-to-text work perfect again. It works most the time,& wen it does work its faster & more accurate than before on 2.2, but every now & then i hav to yell,but turning off fast-boot & a simple off/on reset evry mornin & my evo runs good on 2.3.3. Id just like to know why the recall. So if someone still running froyo tries to update OTA that the update has been pulled,& it wont update?.Its no longer available then?
i have the same thing lbcary.. running GB 2.3.3 with s-off, gingerbreak doesnt work on my evo.. i could go back to 2.2 but i dont wont too.. and i have a mac not a pc.. but im using a pc to run autoroot but there is no update for autoroot yet.. is there anyway to root my evo when i already have s-off on the 2.3.3 GB?

is this true? can anyone confirm?
The two guys running gingerbread with s-off. Roll back to 2.2, root and install custom recovery ( clockworkmod) and then install the rooted stock 2.3rom through clockwork mod. It is the same as ota update, but rooted already.
And in the future just wait a couple of hours,a rooted version of an ota update is ussally available same day. Just install the zip like any other rom and if you are going from a stock rom to stock rom you dont have to wipe data, I have done it that way each time and never had a problem, just wipe cache.

i'm using Viper 1.3 and I dont want to keep flashing different ROMS but I want to make sure i'm up to date with thigs like PRL, Firmware, HTC software.....etc. What is safe to update since rooted and what is not safe to update. I keep hearing tht OTA is something I should NOT update.
Any help/advice?

HTC Software Updates are okay ONLY, and i repeat ONLY if they are application updates. OTA or system updates are not safe... Firmware is NOT safe. PRL is okay and Profile are also Okay to do....
Any market update is okay as well....
Hope that helps and hit that thanks button if so...

Yes, you should have 2.3.4. You can find the Stock Rooted version in the Development forum. It comes with the latest kernel. Read the OP of the page for instructions and for description on what's what.
Without Taking Any OTA's...
When Flashing a 2.3.4 ROM, that says they have the Same Updated OTA stuff? Or is that Not the Same?

99.9% percent of the time a 2.3.4 has all the updated OTA stuff in it (except for the bloat obviously, which some devs remove entirely). But, to answer your question, yes....it gives you all the updated framework/kernel (most of the time), libs, etc.
