About once a day I get a popup in status bar about an OTA. Is this the same OTA I've been ignoring or are these new OTAs? Perhaps one of these will contain an unlocked bootloader...
can HTC install a trackball on this thing?
1st question: Yes
2nd question: Why!?

Hey everybody I was just curious, I'm a android noob and wad curious weather or not we have to unroot our phones when samsung rolls out their froyo update?

Read the stickied thread in general:
IF I ROOT, WILL I GET OTA UPDATES?
Yes. Rooting will not prevent this, unless you flash a custom ROM that will block receiving the OTA update. If you do receive and download the OTA update, you will lose root. Typically within hours of the OTA becoming available, thanks to some fine XDA folks you can get the update WITH root. You would simply need to download and flash the update like a normal ROM.

Is it possible to take a OTA update while rooted? I am still on the stock Rom. And if so, will it unroot me?

Nope I believe that is one of the benefits of s-off

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.
Did anyone take the system update? If so is it safe if rooted or will it brake root? T/u
You never accept OTA updates if you are rooted. This breaks every root method available except HTC DEV
This update has been out for quite a while.
System update? Hmmmm

Ok i was at work and got and msg 2 half circles with a down arrow in the center in the top left corner. I pull screen down and it says system update. I googled it and seen a entry with todays date but nothing else so I figured I would check here...
1.15
I think that is the build fresh is bolt off of.
Custom ROMS have already been based off of this newest OTA.
Yep...I'm running one of the builds (MeanRom 2.0) and I have the updated Firmware, radios, etc. but I'm still getting that damn message...

If u are rooted do not take the update. Just flash a Rom that is based off that update..
I wasn't aware there was an update out today. Did it just appear or is this from the old update from a couple weeks ago
Settings/system updates/ HTC...uncheck scheduled updates...profit

I try to apply the update from Verizon but it just says update failed. Does it have anything to do with me using Exynos abuse from chainfire?
And I've heard that the update will lock the bootloader. Should I change to a custom recovery before I apply the update?
Did you fix the exploit which you can do with that app? If yes that is probably why it is failing. If you want to rom you should not take this update until you see someone has busted into the new bootloader.
Why would you take the ota? It adds no functionality and just locks up your phone

Like an idiot, I saw the OTA and got all excited. Without doing any research, I flashed back to stock and applied the update. Needless to say I am now boot loader locked and I can't feed my flashing addiction.
My only excuse is that I'm a recent iPhone convert, so my brain is still probably addled...

I'm also I recent convert from iPhones...I dodged the OTA bullet by a couple days. Have had the phone for weeks, but just finally rooted, unlocked and flashed a ROM...right before this nightmare started. I'd rather be lucky than good.:good:

Adryn posted a safe OTA flashable zip using TWRP in the General section. And yes you will need an unlocked bootloader to use custom recovery. If im correct you should be able to remove the Exynos patch and then unlick and root using Adams Casual method which gives you TWRP. Youll have to update TWRP (I used GooManager to update to latest Twrp) in order to apply the safe update.

Excuse my newness but this is a bit confusing. Since I have flashed my phone back to stock from being rooted/unlocked using LGNPST, not using my original bootloader backup from freegee or anything like that...just straight from the tutorial in irc, the rom and all....will i be able to get an at&t jellybean update ota when they finally decide to release it? It seems there was an OTA update to E97011c and I am at E97010o right now and it says no update available. Does that mean I can't get ota updates now? I can't seem to find a direct answer to this.

you should be able to flash the new ROM through lgpnst and mabey the ota. I think there was a problem with the latest ota for people rooted and unrooted.... And there should be custom ROMs based off of the new release that you could flash through recovery if I'm not mistaken

Right, but does unlocking/rooting/installing canadian JB, then unrooting and relocking bar me in any way from receiving future offical ota updates from at&t? I've probably been phrasing the question wrong
You will be able to ota. The process the use to tell if you are eligible is just odd, so sometimes it can take a few days / weeks to get it.
