Hey everyone I got a question and I hope people contribute rather than leave nasty comments behind.If its on a previous thread just point me there.
With the Gingerbread update I know that it will make somethings unavailable for a while.Here is the question...
Will we there be a way to get the web-top hack back as well as the netflix .apk to run?Will side-loading actually be available and will we be able to root?
I have read some threads saying that the bootloader "Might" be unlocked,so will this help out the whole rooting and sideloading and web-top hacks...?
I use the web-top and netflix app alot and so I would like to know what your opinions are thanks.
Actually, all rooting-sideloading-tethering-etc modifications may be truncated; but it's a matter of time... Nobody can tell you.
You should just wait for the update...
Was necessary a new thread for asking this? really?
release the dogs...
The future's a long way off...
From one cloud to another.

I have a question to you! Why did you root if you didn't know what you wanted to do afterwards? Rooting is not just so you can feel the "cool factor", and the vast majority of us know before we root why we want to do it, otherwise...................WHY do it???
Why did you bother? Your own answer should close this thread, and everything else you mentioned can be found by reading the forums!
No offense, but you shouldn't be rooting/flashing "roms" if you don't know what your doing.
It's very easy to end up with an unusable device.

Thx. I know that. I managed to get everything working i wanted ;-) and everyone has to start at one ponit, right. That's why I would not do it if I don't want to. I want to learn more about it so can you tell me a good thread or webside to start with?
Can anyone tell means about that rom pls.
I find your responses a bit harsh guys.. Are there laws / regulations on who can / should root, profile boxes that have to be ticked before one can decide to have a go at unleashing the full power of their phone?
Nobody was born with the knowledge, we all started from scratch at some stage. There are enough warnings that explain how to apply the root methods that are offered in the threads.
Here you go OP:

Ouch.......poor guy is new and gets slammed instantly for wondering what all he can do with his phone. I think we were all in the same boat not too long ago.
Yea, he may be a noob and not know the politics of posting before reading, but I bet each one of us did at one time too. What we should be doing is just politely pointing him in the right direction on how to learn more about all things root.
Such as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=972423 being a good place to start.
Understand though, if you screw up your phone, there is no one to blame but yourself. Read how to recover from a soft brick and hard brick before jumping in. Read all posts VERY carefully and all the way through. That's how I learned, and many others before me. And first and foremost, before asking questions about anything, do a quick search of the treads to see if it has already been asked and answered before. If you don't find your question, feel free to ask and ignore those that troll the treads.
Good luck my man.

I am running Gingerblur which is very similar. I think it is a great ROM and one of the few so far for the Atrix. If you like some of the Blur stuff such as the gallery and social networking items, you have to understand that you will be losing them with the new ROM and going with the stock Android gallery. However, if you do a backup of your current ROM before flashing, you can always revert back if you don't like it.
Big thing, screen shots help for me. And the ROM developers do a great job at giving the details of their ROMs in their posts or websites.

I agree, we all have to learn, but the vast majority of us started by reading through threads which have all the info about how to flash sbf's, root, sideload, flash themes, what is and is not possible, etc. We then tried things by following the instructions.
I'm not, and was not, trying to be a ****. I am however very blunt! Everything the OP needs is already there if he/she looks. The forums are full of "repeat" threads because people are basically too lazy to read and research for themselves before asking what has already been asked numerous times.

I was stupid and took the OTA... What are my options? Could I somehow downgrade? How would I do such a thing? How do I go about backing up just in case I derp it up?
There are many threads about this already. Answer is no. Not yet.

Dont mean to be an ahole, but please do a search before you create a new thread that has already been created to address Rooting before and after the OTA. (remember, the #1 rule here is to search first then post a question...otherwise they incur infractions...trust me they do give them out..)
****Dev, Please remove this thread as this is already answered in another thread.
I'm seeing all these threads with dumps from a Gamestop device. Instead of simply pushing the question away, maybe we should try posting solutions. I've also seen some dumps on this server: httpColon//nobcat.com/
that say they're for the Prime. I did a search and it was all ended in irrelevant information, hence is why I posted.
Yeah, but there is at least 4 threads about the rooting and issues of the OTA. If you have any new idea's or thoughts, it would be beneficial for them to be put in one of those threads so we don't have to bounce around to many threads to find an answer.

while i agree in concept about finding a way to get root back..so far the only root process available even before the OTA was by Razorclaw. Clockwork, spacemouse and others I know will / are working hard to figure something out along with Razorclaw (my speculation as i don't have any affiliation with anyone who does ROMs..i'm just a fledgling app programmer).
To answer your statement "instead of simply pushing the question away" ..um...the following thread is quite active at answering the Root conundrom.

Again, please review current active threads for solutions.

You sure I'm not going to be yelled at for bumping a thread? And on a side note, why can't I write to the Music, Pictures, or Movies directories?
Tomorrow a whole slew of us will be receiving our Primes, this is no longer conjecture since UPS has now started receiving our thingys. With all the hoopla it is now time to turn our attention to development or to helping developers.
I do not have the answers here but I would suggest that as many of us as possible hold off on connecting to WIFI and start hanging in the development thread to look for developers requests to help with root.
We have all (the older ones) had fun posting in the general section and flaming the young'uns but it's now time for serious business.
For the new people (anyone who rooted anything for the first time less than a year ago) you are welcome to come also but remember the development section is not a question area, a random thoughts area, a first impression area or anything else like that. If I remember correctly the first sticky is if you did not develop it don't post there.
According to a post in the dev forum, the BB orders come with non rootable firmware.
No link, God damn Nook Tablet doesn't have a copy and paste function.
New update is not rootable we need a work around because razorclaw is useless to us
funny the OP talking about the "new guys" & root didn't even know root was busted after the last update
Yes, new guys and root, and yes I am familiar with the situation. The point is we have a lot of pointless threads here and it wont help to take that to development.
Take a look at the keeping root section in development. If you happen to get an older (before 20111122 version) you may be able to root with razerclaw and if we can find out where the update is cached once hooked to wifi we can pull it and possibly work from there.
Now according to Android Root it still may be a problem because they have increased the decryption by making the blobs signature checked which means no adding to a blob for NVFlash.
I took the time to mention these things instead of my normal snide remark to remind you all that the goal from this point is to help to get root.
Also before someone else mentions it I do not develop I just make roms for personal use. When I say we I mean we helping the real developers, like Gnufabio, Roach, kracked, blades, clemsyn et al
Lmao to everyone having problems with the ota.
Should just been stock then figured out everything after the fact. Have fun. I'm done.
What is the point of this thread other then you being rude?
I don't post much but when I do, its generally asking a question or looking for help. I am very grateful for everyone on the forums, most everyone here is willing to help out. I know that some people get frustrated that the same questions get asked over and over again, and that some people should try the search bar before asking for help. That frustration, I understand.
But in all honesty, I feel your post was uncalled for. Don't you remember being a noob and just starting out?
Sorry, I had to say something.
Great job A$$!
Here's the propper thread from someone who is a definite asset to this website :

See the difference?
Currently not being productive on my S3.
Love you mike.s!
No homo
I don't even understand what he's trying to say. He needs to go to an institute for kids that don't type so good.
Should have been stock for the ota update cuz no one had problems of they were stock and waited for the ota instead of flashing. Douche
I too waited for the update before doing anything to my phone except HTCdev unlock and have had no problems. Why is it everyone who is having problems installing the OTA feels the need to start their own thread about it instead of heaven forbid actually reading someone else's thread or using search?
Yet another pointless thread...:silly:
Closed.
Im confuse. I know you cant root a sch-i605 that has an 4.3 OTA vruand3 but is there anyway I can unlock the bootloader ? The reason im doing this is because Im using a tmobile prepaid sim card and it works ( phone, text) except that the data Im getting is stuck on EDGE . And maybe the reason is because the bootloader is lock. Can someone point me in the right direction? I have read the forums and I just want to start a new thread that will clarify my question. Thanks.
Please do a little bit more homework.

To answer your question: Safestrap. At this moment this is the only alternative; and even then its not a robust solution.
But Amador please do a little bit more searching in the forums (or at least google) because your question has been a hot topic amongst the SCH-i605 community since the OTA 4.3 update and your answer could have been easily found. I am not going to give you a link to the Safestrap post because I want you to take initiative and I want to prevent you from being lazy like the hundreds of other people who have done exactly what you did, because instead of looking for an answer, "your kind" come here off of a google search and just keep on asking the same question over and over, pile up the forums with garbage posts, and its time consuming for anyone on the forums to answer "your kind".
A lesson to everyone else:
We welcome new talent and bright minds to contribute to the forums, and if you sincerely need help after you have dedicated hours of QUALITY research, please ask. But don't expect to be spoon fed here. If you're asking easy questions that have an existing answer in a plethora of locations out there in the big world of the internet, you will be reminded of the culture in XDA. If you ever wonder why big companies outsource telephone operators in India, this is why. To talk to ignorant people, who all require the same answer.
