when someone officially gets this new software update installed post here. and whether or not u did it through clockwork or had to revert back to stock.
http://www.droid-life.com/2010/09/2...-fascinate-its-not-android-2-2/#disqus_thread
What I'm interested in with this update is whether or not removing or renaming the bloatware apps (especially Bing) will cause trouble with applying this and future updates.
i tried the OTA (Over The Air) method and its not picking up any update i wonder if people who have rooted there phone can get this update.
I tried checking, but the updater app is telling me the server is unavailable.

yes now im getting the same message
Will clockwork block this?
Remember, one of the known issues on the Fascinate is that you can't check for OTA updates using WiFi, so make sure your WiFi is off when you force check for updates. =)
I have both a rooted and a stock fascinate so when it's available I will know for sure if being rooted affects getting otas.

This may be right. I just got a new message:
"No New Update Available"
I guess I'm getting to the server...
looking at the list of fixes that are provided in the verizon's pdf file, not worth the the time and bandwidth.

Yeah same here.
I want to get rid of that damned lost signal tone.
Yep updated failed with CW installed. The update app tells me there is an update but fails to install. I may flash back later and try it again.
failed with stock kernel, re-installed stock recovery to test that and now my update went away..
guess I'll have to wait until it comes back to test.
Where the heck does it download it to? I can't find it in cache, where the updates usually download to.
I'm running the stock ROM, rooted. When the next OTA drops, whether it be GB or just the removal of Free Hotspot, obviously I'm not going to be wanting it to auto-download/install. Aside from editing the build.prop file (which I never messed with) that I noticed mentioned in a thread from a few months ago, are there any options (other than flashing a different ROM) to stop the update from pushing to my TB? Will it disable OTA updates if I freeze Updater 2.2 with Titanium Backup?

You won't automatically get the OTA and have it installed. You have to accept it and allow it to be downloaded and installed. But I believe the build.prop is where you have to make the change (device ID??) so that it won't get to you.
Most roms that have you flash standalone gapps packages use FOTAKill to kill ota updates.

Flashing fotakill is not flashing a rom...but ok...didn't realize that was implied.
I was just sharing...but I will bite my tongue in the future.
My mistake, I thought you were implying that flashing a ROM would remedy the situation because they're already including FOTA Kill (which it would.) I didn't realize you were referring to just flashing FOTA Kill standalone. Is that even possible on a stock rooted TB?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
lol dont know if anyone saw or not but if your rooted the update wont come to you period so no need to worry about it. As long as you s off you wont be receiving OTA update unless u go and check for them ur self.

I'm not exactly sure the detail of it other than running a service that prevents ota. I would have thought it could be applied to stock assuming the same service is receiving the ota but I could be wrong. Ask Zinx.

As far as I was aware, you'd still get the notification and the update since the service is still checking. It will just fail when it tries to install. Perhaps I am wrong though.

Unless the TB is different than the DINC in that respect, that's not correct. On the DINC, if you're running the stock ROM, rooted or not, you'll still receive the OTA notifications. They won't install properly and/or brick the phone if you have S-OFF.
I am currently running a near stock Fascinate. All I have done is rooted no custom ROMS, no custom themes just rooted and froze some applications. I would like to unroot as the missed call problem is really bugging me and I think I am going to try and switch phones at the VZW store (I can't handle it anymore!) Now I know I can ODIN to DL09 then go to OTA that way, but I am wondering, because I have no custom Kernals and no custom Roms if there is a way to simple unistall my root access so that I don't have to go waste a day downloading the OTAs.

I think there was a one-click root method that may have allowed you to "unroot" your phone. but if I'm making this up, then that's the process you will have to go through in order to get your phone back to stock.
Odin'ing back to DL09 and then OTA'ing up to ED04 doesn't actually take that long. I went from CM7 to stock ED04 in about 30 minutes.

I know it doesn't take that long but I then have to go completely back to stock and download all my apps and such again. I decided I am just going to keep the fascinate but I want to know if there is a way to unroot so that when we FINALLY get Gingerbread I can OTA without much hassle!
If all you did was root and freeze apps, on any of ed ota's just unroot with super one click. It has an unroot button, just make sure you defrost your frozen apps and undo any other changes first. Or just go to the general section and follow the sticky on how to unbrick your fascinate, even links to zip files so you don't have to suffer through the ota's, ed04 unrooted stock takes like 20 MIN.

So the one click root is guaranteed to work on the fassy? When I unroot with Superoneclick Root, does it put me back to stock as in I would have to re-download all my applications, reset settings ETC or does it just un-establish root and leave me the same?
With superoneclick is it just like CWMing and then rooting with the SuperUser-Busybox.zip that I flash with ODIN?
I am a bit confused by it and I would just like some basic information pertaining to the Fassy rather than generic for all phones thanks!

I always just ODIN back to DL09 and am fixed everytime
I would use SuperOneClick. I just unrooted my wife's Fascinate with SuperOneClick and it worked perfectly. Just unfreeze your frozen apps and run SuperOneClick, click Unroot and in a few minutes, your phone will be unrooted. I would, however, uninstall the Superuser app before unrooting because every time I've used SuperOneClick to unroot a phone, it works, but the Superuser app remains on the phone.
Doing this will not restore your phone to factory. Any apps/data on your phone will remain on your phone.
Hope this helps.
Hi,
I've rooted using one-click but haven't unlocked the bootloader or flashed a recovery. I've always been happy with rooted stock roms on my OG EVO and so far I think the same will be true with the EVO LTE.
But how will we install updates? Can I just take OTA updates when they come out and still keep root or will it be more involved than that?
Thanks.
If you stay on a stock Rom you should have problem getting OTA. Only thing is it may break root and you'll have to reroot.
Sent from my EVO using XDA
Okay, thanks.
Will the same root method continue to work or will we have to chase a new way to root with each OTA update?

You may be able to protect root. You should download a program called 'OTA Rootkeeper'. When you open the app you can hit 'Protect Root'. Then when you find out there is an update you can go back to the app and temporaily un-root. Update the phone, then go back to the app and restore root.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Thanks!
My participation in this forum saved my ars on some weird behavior my rooted x2 had been exhibiting lately. update: Nandroid backup saved me. Now, after a few days my phone is bugging me to OTA upgrade to 2.3.4. I see that this gingerbread has considerable benefit on ye ole ROM front.
Can someone help me out with a step-by-step upgrade on my rooted device? Do I need to unroot first? I have to admit to an unroot prior to my problems. Something with an app I need to get upgrade. Thanks in advance for the help.

If you want to apply the ota, grab ota rootkeeper from the market. Open the app, save root, then go to town updating. No need to unroot. Once updated, open the app again and hit restore root, as the ota will remove root.
That's pretty much it. As it stands that is the only way to get root on the latest ota so if for some reason you run into an issue and lose root, you will have to sbf back to 2.3.4.

I'm sorry but are you on pre 2.3.4 on your X2? If so why haven't you had to update before now? Just curious.

For updating to the latest release you can't have changed any of the system files (ie frozen), and if you are rooted it's best to do a temp unroot (with a Voodoo backup of course) and make sure you boot into the Stock Recovery and attempt to flash that way. Should go without saying that you have to be on the stock rom.

Slim, i have ignored the OTA upgrade notification for 9 months. If its not broken, dont fix it theory. I had tweaked the phone with root only so that i could barnacle my tablet to the internet. Since i just saw how easily i recovered my phone back to my last nandroid backup, i figured i would try to upgrade and ROM this thing as it seems ive gotten it this far. Can someone link me to an easy to follow, step by step on "flashing stock recovery mode"? I can unfreeze programs with titanium backup and then unroot with ota rootkeeper. Just lrt me know how to stock recover, ie: phone plugged in? Unzipped file locations? External or internal sd card? I appreciate the help.
if update is failing
try unrooting with rootkeeper (keeps backup) like slimman suggested
if that doesn't work it's time to flash 2.3.4 sbf

a little surprised, that you made it 9 months and phone didn't try to install overnight after several notices
I know that has happened with other moto phones like D2 and D2G
Guys root has nothing to do with not being able to receive ota.
Nothing.
Lol
It sounds to me like you need to sbf back 2.3.4
Make sure your phone is fully charged.
Do you have usb debugging enabled?
Forget about guessing games, sbf back to 2.3.4.
Root your phone via Pete's. Do not use zerg.
Install recovery
Install superuser etc. If you feel the need but Pete's su. Works fine.
Install voodoo rootkeeper.
Make the back up.
Again with these phones root has NOTHING to do with receiving or not receiving ota.
If your ota is borked there's somthing else going on. You must have removed (bad idea) or froze something
Just sbf and follow my instructions again.
Hope that helps.
As I said in my guide, all updates were done with root, and I went from2.3.3>2.3.4>2.3.5
All rooted each time all retained root via rootkeeper.
Hope that helps
