I guess the GSM version has some changes,
would i be able to root?
Probably no?
Wrong Section.
We won't know until the Hboot and radio come out for those.
There will be a root, but you might have to wait.
Not sure on that you may want to try asking in the Q&A section your more likely to get an answer over there.
it's moves but now i am not even getting any comments..
bump...........

i've got a g1, which i love but i don't have tmobile service, instead verizon... plan to get a droid eris.
anyways i've done some research and read the faq's...
faq's say you can only achieve root if you have android 1.5 on your phone still and not 2.1
however... i've found it on other places it doesn't matter if you have 1.5 or 2.1 (if it's official), but that it matters on which version of HBOOT. anything below 1.49 is fine. am i correct in thinking this, or can someone explain what i need to look for in buying a phone. if i am correct, can someone please update the faq's. very confusing.
i appreciate it. i've been lurking this forum for awhile, but just decided to register.
.....I rooted my Vibrant and upgraded it to 2.2 Will I still get the OTA from T-Mobile?

Haxel is correct in saying that you are in the wrong section, but Haxel is confused because you WILL NOT recieve the OTA because you flashed a new rom. If you were just to root your phone and not change your rom, then yes you still would of recieved the update. But because you flashed a new rom, no you will not recieve the OTA from tmo.
Chances are that it will be on here by mid day tomorrow anyways. Thats sooner then you would mostlikely be getting it from the OTA, haha. (if it really does come out)

This thread belongs in Q&A. The Development forum is for development of new roms, kernels and radios, and the discussion of these developments.
Also, the answer to your question is in this sticky at the top of this forum.

How to restore to stock.
Look at the stickies of this section. If it was a snake it would have bit you.
People are gonna be mean to you : /
I just wasnt sure if that would work so i ask and i know ppl will be mean. I always make sure to ask before doing
1. belongs in Q & A
2. you do not need to unroot and re-root to flash new radios or roms or RUU's. If you are rooted...you can do whatever you want
3. Stickied in this forum just above your post are guides to both rooting and returning to stock.
Tons of ppl have already asked just take the time to read. Reading Sucks donkey balls but if you aren't willing to read then you aren't gonna be allowed to play this game.
YEA!!! and if you ask a question in the wrong section again, mean people will track you down and beat you! cause its easier to do that than just answer a question!
Not to be rude but don't you think if it didn't work it wouldn't be stickied?
I get to leave work in 20 minutes. Yay.

i found the same post in Q& A for the incredible so I was skeptical on the Tutorial linked but it worked ....
Please take this as me trying to be helpfull and keep the flames to matchstick proportions if I happened to miss someone else bringing this up previously...
I was poking around in the Shift forums in hopes that an exploiot had been found for me to root the wifes Shift and came across this...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255474
These excellent people have found a way to downgrade H-boot and Android on the Shift to allow you to flash an earlier version that didnt include the locked bootloader which makes it possible to gain perm root.
I know our phones came locked, but could this be a possibilty for helping those who ended up with 1.5 H-boot to regain 1.4 and be able to use Revolutionary instead of HTC's method?
Geez I hope so, hopefully the exploit isn't specific to the evo shift
Unfortunately it doesn't work with the 1.15 hboot. With S-ON it not only checks the firmware version but the hboot version as well. We could modify the hboot version so it thinks that's the same but then you invalidate the signature on both the hboot and the PG86IMG zip.
Well, damn...was hoping...but damn. Worth a shot anyway.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Ok, sorry about that.
I know that Rogers and ATT shares a lot in common but sometime it's different....
Maybe we could have our own section in witch we can say thing like : look in that post, I did this and that from ATT and it work/doesn'twork on Rogers...
Right know I'm thinking of that post in ATT section talking about S3 Now available in clockwork recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28657487#post28657487 ....
What do you guys think about it ? (sorry for my bad english by the way )
If it can use the same ROMs then no. Make sure to clarify in subject titles which carrier if there are some differences. It is whether or not it can use the same ROM without bricking that determines whether it gets its own dev section. And even if that, questions go in Q&A and not new threads in dev section.
Thanks

Sorry, thanks for moving my thread...
for example : the new clockworkmod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28657487#post28657487 .... if it could work for Rogers, it could go into Rogers section...
You know, even if ATT and Rogers use pretty much the same ROM, ATT block alot of stuff Rogers dont in their ROM.... that's also why I tought having Rogers own section could be really nice...
