Should I ota update? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

On December15 the official froyo is getting released through OTA. If I update my phone which is rooted and has oclf lag fix will it soft brick and is there a way to update without getting soft bricked? How?
Don't comment saying install a froyo ROM I don'tlike roms and I will not use them at least not now.
Thanks in advance

Research shows the update folder for root seems to be the culprit for ota brick. I suggest unroot your phone and install the ota. I've done it twice with no issues so far.

This is a forum built around custom ROMs and such... if you want stock Rom questions why don't you go to t-mobile and ask about your lag fix and rooted phone questions.... moron...

where did you got your information on the official froyo release date? Really wanted to know, since I couldn't find it online. You could always odin back to OTA I think.

Ouch... There are plenty of people here who run stock roms. I would assume he rooted for benefits like tethering, metamorph and many others like the lagfix. IMO It was a viable question worth answering.

OTA is fine for rooted phones. The lag fix probably will be an issue.
I always wait for a developer to take the ota, enable root and make it a flashable zip.much better than ota in my opinion.
Not sure how you think you know the release date... You need to qualify that.

So you were born a genius on rooting android phones right ? Its been a few days since I first rooted give me a break. God.
Thanks guys according to what most of you said...
To be on the safe side I should undo the lagfix then unroot. Then do the ota I'm not comfortable with flashing new ROMS and stuff it gives me a feeling of Miscomfort maybe ill grow out of it

If they change the architectural software structure of Ice-cream(2.4 or 3.1?) then no it would not upgrade, But I would bet a dollar the phone will be able to handle at least 2 or 3 more upgrades before software and apps will require a larger ram and duo core cpu
BTW way to the other posting....... froyo, gingerbread etc are the code names they gave each version of android....... 2.2, 2.3 etc

Well either you or he was confused. There's more than a couple Gingerbread themes out there, but thats all they are is themes. There is one EXPERIMENTAL Gingerbread build out, but as such, its not stable and could not be used daily.
Its being worked on, but Samsung has not even released the 2.2 source yet. When that happens, maybe some doors will be opened in that direction.
But as of right now there is NO stable Gingerbread rom, no matter what your friend told you. If there was you would have gotten actual help, instead of some of the less serious responses.

I called both Verizon Customer Service AND Tech Support and both said that nothing has changed for OTA updates for ANY 3G phone, and nothing will change anytime soon. That means that ALL 3G phones on their network will keep getting OTA updates. The only phones that won't get OTA updates will be their 4G phones.

Boo hoo, you have insulted me, and called me names. Whatever shall I do? But hey, thanks for showing your true character to the community and mods. I'm sure you've impressed everyone with your level of maturity.
Right now I am downloading an OTA after Odining DI01. Were you in a Corporate store or at an Indirect Agent? Seems peculiar that you would get that information, but I for one am glad you shared it. I was pretty sure I'd be ok(given the Gigs worth of downloads on my PC...).
Anyone who works for Big Red know anything about this possibility?
I've been getting Server Unavailable for over a week now. Actually, ever since the GB leak. I haven't been able to get back to EB04. Never had a problem before.
Anyone wonder if the ota system might be impacted by the 4g rollout? Even their system is only so big. I know I can track my own 3g issues to the same time as the 4g rollout in my state.

Could be? We won't have 4g where I live for another 1.5 to 2 years so that perhaps is why I'm not being affected like other areas are.

I know we won't get the update until late summer. Just expressing how I feel. This phone has so much potential after the update.

I feel your pain. But Cyanogen is on the way. MIUI will follow soon after that, I'm sure. No need to wait until the OTA comes out either. You can unlock your bootloader now, and install Gingerbread and a kernel right now! That should hold you off for awhile until CM7 gets released
Just remember. Patience is key right now.

Don't break the first rule of S-OFF and rooting....
*** NEVER take an ota.
True.. I've done that before when I first started learning. It happens, but don't worry dude!! There will be a fix for that one day.. for now though, if that OTA messed up your S-OFF Root. Maybe you can find a way to fix it if you have the will power to learn
This sounds like a very noob question but here goes anyway, I am not taking the OTA update because I don't want to risk losing s-off and root. How do I clear the update notification in my notification bar. I don't want my kids to do the update on me when they play with my phone. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Gotcha.. Heres the process:
Hit Menu>Settings>System Updates>HTC software update>Uncheck Scheduled Check.
You can click on the OTA in your task bar and just click cancel. Its not going to automatically download. I just did that on my 3D evo so I assure it will work.
Just click on the Update and a popup box appears, just hit cancel and poof its gone until the next schedule update.

Profile is your data/call/account information from Sprint. Updating this can sometimes fix errors with data/call/account stuff, or sprint might have you do it for whatever reason. No harm can come of it.
PRL is preferred roaming location, and basically updates your phone's knowledge of towers. Not vital to update, but can be done whenever just to be up to date. Also cannot cause harm.
HTC software is, well, HTC's software on your device. This can be in the form of apps or whatever other proprietary crap HTC has on your phone. This can cause some problems, and sometimes anti-dev updates can be hidden. Just wait for news if you see one of these updates.
Firmware update is something like going from android 2.3.2>2.3.4. Major android updates or device-specific changes will come through here. Don't do these updates; wait for their rooted counterparts.
Hope I helped.
Thanks. I had a brain fart on the firmware haha. For some reason I was thinking it may be called firmware but was using the wrong vocabulary or something lol. The others were fuzzy but my assumptions were spot on (yay).
Thanks again for the info!

Haha thanks for answering that as I had the exact same question. I posted in the general Q&A forum with no response, I am new not only to rooting but this site too, so I didn't know the QA forums are also phone specific. Anyhow thanks RMACEVO427 for answering the system update icon question! Now, if you know, I am running the viper ROM and I was wondering if I would be losing any advantage of this or any future OTA updates by being rooted, or do the dev's keep patching up their ROMs to keep with/ahead of the game?

Good devs always incorporate anything good/useful from the OTA's in a timely manner. There is NO disadvantage to being rooted, except that you can't rent movies and books in the market.
What if I'm totally stock (S-on, unrooted) but I plan to get s-off and root in the future. I know people have warned that it might close the loophole to get s-off but what are the chances that devs will also have a workaround for the new firmware later on down the road?

Just wanted to see if anyone was getting the ics ota yet. Or if we were still waiting for it to start rolling out

There's no need to ask, it just creates cruft. When someone gets it, they'll post. And if people stop posting "Mom, are we there yet?" messages, everyone won't have to wade through pages of them to see it.
Agreed. My bad.

Dude? He was probably just asking because he wanted to flash back to stock or so he could download it. You do not have to post if you have an issue with him posting "Mom are we there yet."
Not to be rude people like you are the reason noobs hate posting/reading to/from forums.

You think an update like this would be available for OTA and no one would have said something though? If it's a matter of him wanting to flash back, then just wait until the forums explode with people posting about whatever problems they've run into, then flash and pull it.
I'm with him on this one, let's not flood the forums with "are we there yet" posts. If common courtesy keeps people from posting, that's not a bad thing.

Relax was just asking. Was just a question. People get so far from the point I threw up a thread for an answer. All done. Over it

Well let's just hope that we get the OTA tomorrow or sometime this week and that it's not another 3 to 6 months to see it pushed out.
If I have not missed anything..... Verizon still has not officially said anything about the update being released? We are all still just assuming that the support document that was found was meant to be posted close to the update time? What if the posting of the document was just another mistake in the long line of mistakes that is the Thunderbolt?
The PDF files are publicly posted to me that's an announcement. Should be only another week or so.

I hope your wrong!
and its only another hour or two
Those of you itching for the ota should just wait for the rooted version to be posted. Does anyone know if this will come with a new hboot?

I believe it will have a new hboot. And I believe it will be noticeable, like on the newer phones, if its ever been rooted with an unlocked bootloader. (Showing locked, unlocked, and relocked)
But that's just my guess.
