im a bit confused i read the WIP root thread can we take the ota and still be safe and be able to get rooted ? or should be just wait ? the popup is annoying me
They said they found a exploit that might be promising.... Might is the key word.
As for the few dozen people that wanted to watch that horrible movie and took the update, only time will tell.

Well unless something new has happened we can't root anyway so why would it hurt to take it. I updated mine 5 minutes after I got it on launch day
Sent from my EVO 3D in the now or later network
Because the ota update may have closed the "hole" or exploit to root..
Never just take the first few updates until you confirm they are worth it. And to watch a movie that Seth rogan blows in and fix a few apps is not worth losing root, the ota might have just caused the root Nazi

Could I run a RUU and go back to before I took the ota
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
I took the update. Root may or may not ever happen... I had to get my phone functioning correctly. HTC may still unlock this bad boy too...
Ultimately I think you just have to decide what's best for u. Root will have to be attained on phones with the update eventually if development wants to grow.
I don't mind waiting because battery life has been really good for me... That's my main reason for rooting anyway. You may want it for different reasons
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
yea the could careless about the movie honestly i want root but i was reading about it should be ok to take the ota and till get root but idk
Team win said ota does not matter.
I took the OTA on launch day because I thought it contained the heavily anticipated S-OFF update...I didn't know the "hazards" of accepting OTA's and it possibly keeping the phone from rooting. I was glad to hear from several sources that the "most promising" exploit isn't OTA-dependent because HTC doesn't even know about it so an OTA wouldn't "close the hole"!

Go into HTC software update and uncheck the updater. Pull down the notification bar and click cancel on the update. Imo 100% do not take the OTA when they are on to an exploit this big. You have waited so long a few more days and we might have root don't chance it
Can s-off come out and play? You run but you can't hide

Do that and *poof* there goes your annoying ota reminder. Thanks for the tip Aray92. (Though I didn't find it so dreadfully annoying)
...adjusting to life without the trackball
I took the OTA, stripped off as much Sprint bloatware as I could, and I'm getting great battery life out of the stock ROM.
I'm holding HTC to their word that they will provide us with a means to root.
From what I have read the exploit is not in the Hboot or the bootloader.
From my limited knowledge we will need an htc ota to unlock the bootloader. That said I'm sure that update will include all previous updates in the file so what are you hurting by downloading the current update?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
The OTAs thus far are fine, however, it is recommended to avoid any future OTAs as they may patch the exploit that was discovered today by Team Win.

Modded Handsets Getting OTA?
I am curious if only people running Eris stock 1.5 are getting the Verizon OTA or if modded handsets are getting it too?
Specifically, I would be interested in hearing if anyone running the "official" 2.1 leak (someone who unzipped file PB00IMG.zip from their sd card [don't know if this is considered a "rooted" or "leaked" version]) has received the Verizon approved (May 11) 2.1 update?
I'm running the PB00IMG.zip 2.1 on my Eris and have not yet gotten the OTA. Wonder if I will? Thanks for sharing.

Verizon reps usually don't know what they're talking about. They just here rumors like we do. There's been a few people that have gotten the OTA. They said they'll push it out to 1000 the first day, then 9000 the next, so on and so forth. You've just got to be patient my friends.

From what most of the devs have said, you'll still be able to get the official ota even if you're on the leak. Unless they do a **** move and change one of the versions (baseband, kernel, or something. forget which one) to a lower version than what the leakers have. Then you won't be able to. But I doubt they'd do that, as I don't think htc cares and probably leaked 2.1 themselves.
Wifes Eris is stock 1.5 and nothing on hers yet. Will drop a note here when/if it gets an ota request.

Now that number system makes some sence, 1000 and if there is a huge issue cut it, then if that passes, jump up another few thousand ect. Until everyone has the ota, I'm sure it's to keep the airways clear and minimize the possibility of file fragmintation.

Can you do the following and send it to jcase and zifnab06 , see below quote from jcase:
QUOTE=jcase;6454172]If you are a leaker, please follow this tutorial when updating to the OTA. Get us the url to the OTA zip please.
Code:
If you are interested in looking at the process that HTC/Verizon uses for the OTA updates, you can get the URL for the OTA zip the following way:
Run logcat on the pc and accept the update on the phone
$ adb logcat > logcat_accept.txt
This will sit like this (it continues to log output into the output file) until the phone reboots. At that point, the adb logcat job will terminate, and the name of the zip file will be indicated in the logfile in a message similar to:
W/SystemUpdateHelper( 64): !!! REBOOTING TO INSTALL /cache/desirec-ota-104882.7b1e5cca.zip !!!
Then, take the name of the file and paste it on the end of android.clients.google.com/updates/partner, for instance, for the Eris 1.17.605.1 OTA, the complete url is:
https://android.clients.google.com/updates/partner/desirec-ota-104882.7b1e5cca.zip

I really would like to add to the community, but i don't want to lose my root. I suspect there will be a huge swath of people to get it today. I am not even on VZW, i am on page plus. I know how to grab the link, just don't want to lose wifi tether and oc.
So I have a Thunderbolt, got it the first day that it came out. Made the decision that I would stick with stock until I'd had enough of it.
Long story short, my boyfriend got the EVO 3D, and rooted it within the week. Naturally I got jealous.
So here's my dilemma, I found the [Updated: 3/26]Easyroot + S-Off [Version 1.6.3.11] root, but I forgot that I had updated my software.
I did a factory reset hoping that it would reverse the update, but apparently I lost all of my information for no reason, because [news flash] it didn't work!
I guess my question now is... What are my options?
Am I screwed and stuck with stock now?
Will there be a new root developed for {stupid-people-who-updated-their-software} like me?
Is there an updated root already out there that I can try?! <~ I've been looking with no sucess!
Please help me!!!!
{{{{&& for those of you who are experienced.. I have been searching the forums for 2 days and I found a post about EVO's, but not Thunderbolt. So I'm sorry if you have managed to see a post with this type of question before. I did try the [Updated: 3/26]Easyroot + S-Off [Version 1.6.3.11] root, but nothing happens. & I didn't know where else to look.}}}
I don't think there has been a new root method for the updated RUU.
So I do believe your out of luck for now.

My wife is planning to get a T-Bolt pretty soon and without knowing what 'version' of s/w it will have when it arrives, you're saying 'no worries'. If she wants it rooted (our Eris' have been rooted since the exploit for it was available -- jcase was involved too !), I can use the manual (command-line) method in his sticky thread ?

Current rooting methods (manual preferred) will work fine for any stock officially released firmware because it's all still unpatched Froyo so the exploit used still works.
The only time in the future that this will stop working is when the Gingerbread OTA rolls out.
Reason I ask is I am positive I've read from others who've gotten T-Bolts and mistakenly allowed a s/w update, presumably OTA, and now they can't root.
Is GB being pushed to a small # of phones, by chance ?

Nope. User error on their part. They probably tried one of the auto-root scripts and then blamed it failing on the OTA.

I completely agree. Many of the rooting scripts out there are either out of date or use obsolete exploits. The OTA back in April, I think it was, required new exploits be used. Jcase has been on that like white on rice and I'm going to say this community stands strongly behind jcase and the method he's outlined. It has the best success rate, without question. Plus, everyone always says its much easier than it looks. If setting up the SDK or ADB is confusing, we are always glad to help too.

Okay, my wife got the Thunderbolt yesterday and within minutes of activating it, it prompted us for a s/w update, in the 73.xx mb range in size. I don't know what s/w version it's currently on and I kept rejecting the update. I need to remind her to do the same -- hopefully it's not too late. Or, is there no harm in taking the update ?

There's no harm in updating, but there's no point if you plan on rooting it. Part of the rooting method will wipe everything and reset it to an earlier software version. You'll then have to update(Using ROMs from here, not the OTA) to a newer version to catch up to the latest release or whatever ROM you choose to run. You're better off rooting now, then worrying about updates.
Hello all,
A few minutes ago, a 'SYSTEM UPDATE is Available' message just popped up on my phone (picture below). Is this an old update or something new? Anyone else get it? My EVO 3D is CDMA/Sprint purchased in August and S-off via Revolutionary, rooted, and on 2.3.4 if that makes any difference.
Thanks!

Pooped? ah you fixed it.
It may be new this week, may be a little bit older; sometimes not everyone gets the updates at the same time.
Regardless, it is good habit to never accept the updates from Sprint/HTC because sometimes (in simple terms) they close up the "hole" needed for S-Off and root. For example, my friend had an EVO 4G this spring/summer and when he accepted the update it updated his bootloader to the newer encrypted one and he lost his root access and could no longer flash a new ROM.
Most of the chefs here that make custom ROMs remove the auto-update feature from the stock rom base that they are working with so that nobody will accidentally update and remove custom features that they want to have. If there are important/useful/harmless things in the update, the chefs will add those portions manually.
LOL, sp corrected.
Yes, I didn't download it. Just curious if this is something new or an old update that my phone never received.

you should have downloaded it and pulled the update zip for the devs here to take a look at it.
So I've had the Rezound now for four days after coming from the Dinc2(rooted of course). And I will say the bloatware is driving me crazy. However having to unlock the bootloader thru HTC and still have have S-On bothers me some. So the question is is it worth going thru HTC (and do they keep records that you've unlocked your bootloader), or would it be best to wait for alpharev or someone like that. Thx in advance.
if bloat is the only thing bothering you why not temp root and freeze the bloat until we have true s-off
The chance of revolutionary creating s-off for us is growing slimmer by the day.
Also if you have the updated firmware you can't temp root. They took that away.

And I do.
Just HTC unlock and root. The odds of there being s-off anytime soon are very very slim. The odds of there ever being an s-off solution are about the same.
Yeah I would go ahead and unlock. I don't see any point in waiting, someone might have an s-off option in a few months but its just as likely or more likely that we will stay just like we are. I wouldn't have the phone if I was waiting for something that may never come before unlocking and upgrading to a better Rom. I don't see why a developer would put resources into figuring out how to do something that's already been done, while there are a lot of bragging rights to be had most of the really good developers working on this phone are working on things to move us forward.

Thanks alot guys very good points. I guess I was worried about the warranty, but the fact is I sent a fully rooted Dinc2 to back to Verizon and back no problems so I guess I'll take the plunge and root this thing tonight. Thx again
Now
Yes, it is TOTALLY worth doing now!
I used the HTC unlock method, adb'd the
Amon Ra recovery, used Amon Ra for rooting with
SU and Superuser, then used Titanium to take out
all the garbage. Removed about 15 items.
Now my stock phone starts up with a whole lot fewer
things running that I would never use, and battery life
is like my old Increidble 1.
The Rezound is FAST FAST FAST and does everything right.
The process to ge to your Titanium-revised setup is truly easy
and can be done with stuff found right here in the rezound
forums on XDA...
Just unlock... S-off probably isn't going to happen at this point.
It's worth it Bamf came out with a ROM that fixes a lot of the issues that ICS was having. Plus the tether works in infrastructure mode on ICS
Okay I have a few questions. I have had my Rezound for a couple months now and tired of waiting for the OTA update. So I was wanting to switch to one of the leaks. My phone is not rooted and still all factory with Sense 3.5. My main question is if I decide to use the Leaked version and then later the official comes out will I be able to do a update and go back to being official? Or maybe like a stock rom that will erase your phone and install all back to factory including the root?
Also do you absolutely have to root to install the leak? Please if you have any answers for my questions please let me know. Thank you.
You don't need root at all to use an RUU. I would advise against upgrading. Most of the ICS ROMS support the gb firmware. Just be patient. Only a little longer till ICS!!
Yeah thats what I have heard many times. Its coming in Jan, It's coming in Feb, Its coming in March, Its coming in April, It's coming in May. WAIT LET ME GUESS its coming in JUNE?!?! lol So sick of all the delays with it. Although I suppose waiting another few months wont hurt nothing.
I jumped on the last ICS leak when the May 9th release didn't happen. I have no complaints! I think the update will come to my phone even with this... If it doesn't, someone will leak it!

You can upgrade without root to the latest leak, in the event you need to downgrade firmware, it will require rooting the phone and s-off.

Even if you got somehow off the upgrade path, of you were to s-off then it wouldn't matter.
If you do go from GB to ICS firmware just remember to factory reset the phone after the RUu or you "may" have data issues. Not everybody does, but some do so do it anyway.

UH after an ruu everything should be set i don't see why you would have to factory reset...
Well...there is probably a couple hundred of us who had this issue right when s-off came out. It only happens after s-off. Least that I have seen. 4G will Drop connection like mad if you don't factory reset immediately after the ruu completes and rom boots.
I also mean the factory reset in hboot, not in the rom.

I say do some reading, familarize yourself with the process, then go ahead and s-off and get ICS. Never know if getting the official ICS update will screw you or not in terms of keeping locked down, and the current ICS builds are pretty well done. But only do what you are comfortable doing.

I am also one of those hundreds of people. It only takes a minute, so why not just do it. Most of the other issues people had were fixed by a factory reset in hboot also.
Contacted HTC and they said June or July for ICS.

As per the title - I called HTC yesterday and spoke with one of the CS reps. I asked and after a brief wait, the representative stated that the device should be updated to ICS in June or July. With the HTC Amaze 4G rolled out (not VZW)--at least they have one less phone in front of ours.
I'm in the same predicament. I am very interested in the OTA but the speculation on has only led to more disappointment. In the end, for me at least, I'm pleased with my bone stock Rezound. Zero issues. I am looking forward to making it even better like many of the current owners have done.
