and i'm on a custom rom based on ji6...i know it can't be 2.2 update. what can it be? >?? i didn't click on postpone, i'm just leaving it at the notification bar right now..i read here on the forums that it could be an ota update back to JFD/some kind of glitch in t-mobile's roll out OTA from ji6.
It's probably JFD trying to claw it's way back from the grave.. ignore it because it's obviously a downgrade in most ways possible..
it mite be gingerbread.. do it!!!

i thought the H installment was gonna be Hostess,, now thats the stuff.. lol
Dont do the update. It will break your swype if you do it. No actual gains in this minor update from tmo.
Yeah I got an update even though I'm on Fusion 1.2 with Team Whiskey Core Kernal. I though I couldn't get updates. I postponed it and it said my battery was to low for me to get the update. Can anyone actually check what this update truely is?
*edit* I uninstalled the APK that does the OTA updates. In Titanium uninstall it reboot then delete APK in apparently manager. Then you don't have to worry about getting OTAs. Until Froyo comes out then I would install stock ROM and update if you want to.

That's a good idea! I'd love to know what apk handles OTA updates. I saw on tmo forums that this update reverts back to JFD and screws with swype.
Almost positive it's device management.

Worked for me, but honestly just root your phone its waaaay better! Because you can use the OTA 2.1 for your root which I have done and you can overclock your eris to make it run faster. Waiting for 2.1 seems kinda pointless to be honest.

Were you running the leak? No?
Verizon's Twitter has said that leakers should have the OTA today... Also those on the leak don't have root... So while you failed to add anything of value to the conversation we appreciate your contribution.
I have leak v3 and that's why I am hoping Verizon was telling the truth about ota

He never stated in the original post he was running leak so back off jackass. You actually added no contribution to this with being inconsiderate and ignorant.
To the OP sorry I did not know you were running leak, maybe state that next time, but hopefully verizon will push you the OTA.
I hope it comes out for you guys, even though its just v3 which you can flash over the leaks...but I wouldn't trust VZW's twitter page for accurate or reliable information.

Yeah I'm not holding my breath... I'm sitting on leak 2 cause it's been good to me and I don't want to have to reload all my apps again for leak 3 if I have to flash it.

From what it looks like, checkin looks at your system and if updates are available on either the market or the ROM, it will give you a notice accordingly.

Well the Verizon reps on Twitter, informed us NO we will not see the update LOL oh well... I tell you though, I just recently did a factory reset just to see if things would be cleared on a few bugs (just a thought) and well now I have been hitting more force closes than I have had the entirety of leak one or two... Its stabilized out, but thats a little strange. Anyhow back to my original reason for posting, NO OTA according to the Twitter guys.

Well I'm sorry to tell you this, but the OTA update won't downgrade your bootloader (I'm assuming you're a leaker). Even if you were able to apply the OTA update (which you can't) it still wouldn't allow you to root your phone. If you want root you'll just have to wait for it (which probably won't happen) or get an eris that hasn't been leaked.
According to http://www.droid-life.com/2010/07/1...feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+DroidLife+(droid+life) there will be an update to Eris phones. One thing I wonder about is they are calling this mandatory.
What happens if you don't install this? I know Verizon tracks who installs patches and I don't want to take chances losing root.
yeah I'm running EvilEris3.0 on my wife's Eris. I'm actually wanting to go back to the stock 2.1 cause shes not happy with how her phone is acting.....wondering if this will put it back to stock or HOW do I flash it back to the stock ROM?
any help with this would be thankful.
Ok lets not, panic. You need to read the entire thing, and point out that if you have MR3 then MR4 is mandatory but if you only have MR2 then it is only recommended meaning if your current rom has OTA working and you have MR 2 you will be able to ignore the update. If you have MR3 (MR being maintenance release) the update will be eventually be installed for you if you don't do it voluntarily. and you cannot get a replacement for any problems that this is suppose to address if you do not install it
Hey this shouldn't be a big deal. This same update was sent out sometime at the end of last month and those who were rooted were able to root back instantly. Even the 1.49 people. (Assuming you have luck with ADB recovery)
So it will just temporarily remove root?

No strange/unpredictable behavior. Ever.
I'll just wait for someone to run diffs on it vs the leak4rombase version and see what we can get from it.
Okay with this new root method and all I'm curious as to know if this MR4 is going to stop us from rooting this method. The old method wasn't stopped, but obviously not everyone can do that method.

Not really the best solution but install the webtop hack lol. I have the webtop hack installed and I haven't gotten a single notice after being accepted into the beta program. Also if I go to software update in the system settings I get an error so it seems webtop hack blocks this crap.

The webtop is a seperate addon hack that Ken added into the gingerblur script as an addon for Beta 7.7 (which is what I'm on). To me it's worth having this hack anyways as it saves you the cost of the laptop dock or the multimedia dock and it has prevented me from even being able to be told that there is an OTA for my device.

+1 I recently got a warranty replacement for mine and I debated taking the update for a couple days. I finally decided to do it because the current temp root exploit works with both software versions. I really don't see much point in not taking the update.

Because the OTA updates the bootloader (from v1.30 to v1.40... I think). The current root exploit is only for the OS and when/if s-off is acheived from our devs it may only work on the earlier version. Hboot has control over more than just the OS so if the earlier version has an exploit that the newer version doesn't then everyone who took the OTA may very well be screwing themselves out of s-off until HTC does unlock the bootloader. I myself am going to stay away from any and all updates until either HTC or teamwin or anyone else can give us full root/s-off. My phone runs just fine like it is now, on launch day software.
I just updated to the latest ota, now my dialer icon is gone from the app drawer and lock screen. The dialer is there, but icon is gone... Can someone post the apk for me so I can get the icon back? Thanks.

Not sure if this will do anything for you but you might need this as well. I tried to attach it on the previous post but it wouldn't let me. You have to rename it to "HtcDialer.odex". I changed it to a .zip because I kept getting invalid file while trying to attach it.

If you take an OTA update you will lose root. However, you should be able to achieve it again once the devs cook up their magic. So far no one has a made an ota blocker mod, but it will come. As soon as this bad boy gets unlocked we will be golden, custom romming etc.:highfive:
