Is it safe to assume that the update will un-root a device? I'm debating if I should modify the permissions for the otacert.zip to prevent a OTA w/o my knowledge/permission.

Did for the Kindle Fire. Don't do it if you don't know what you're doing.
It may be ignorant, but what is the current status on blocking OTA?
Im not sure anyone has given it much thought. Store employees say honeycomb update should be pushed by year end.

Interesting. This is the first I've heard of it, and google turns up nothing on the subject. I would love them to update to honeycomb, but I wonder what they would gain from it. Judging how we don't even have copy / paste on our modified gingerbread, who knows how they would mangle honeycomb

If this is true it makes one wonder why they even bothered with a GB version. It's evident that a reasonable amount of work went into bending GB into a shape that B&N was happy with. If they only planned on replacing the OS less than two months after release, why even bother making the GB version?
Possible that it was pushed out ahead of schedule because of the kndle fire. If they do update it to HC that would be good but I don't mind being on GB either so for me either os will do

I was going through all the database (.db) files in /data/data and it freaked me out. The default settings are for automatic OTA updates. Which normally are not a bad thing but if you're rooted it's like oh crap, I finally got everything the way I want it and it could be gone in an instant. lol

Worked for me, but honestly just root your phone its waaaay better! Because you can use the OTA 2.1 for your root which I have done and you can overclock your eris to make it run faster. Waiting for 2.1 seems kinda pointless to be honest.

He never stated in the original post he was running leak so back off jackass. You actually added no contribution to this with being inconsiderate and ignorant.
To the OP sorry I did not know you were running leak, maybe state that next time, but hopefully verizon will push you the OTA.
I hope it comes out for you guys, even though its just v3 which you can flash over the leaks...but I wouldn't trust VZW's twitter page for accurate or reliable information.

From what it looks like, checkin looks at your system and if updates are available on either the market or the ROM, it will give you a notice accordingly.

Well I'm sorry to tell you this, but the OTA update won't downgrade your bootloader (I'm assuming you're a leaker). Even if you were able to apply the OTA update (which you can't) it still wouldn't allow you to root your phone. If you want root you'll just have to wait for it (which probably won't happen) or get an eris that hasn't been leaked.
Does anyone know what the OTA does/changes? I would hate to apply it for no significant reason and cost myself a chance at root in the future.
Not until Leo, tmartin, toast, or haus says so. They are working on root

You and anybody else saying that is just as useful as me saying if you take the OTA, you wont have to wait.

When would you ever apply an OTA~ I don't recall a situation where it was a good idea LOL
Can't watch the Green Hornet until I update the software. No thanks.
I didn't update mine yet and it played green hornet just fine. It's a shame they didn't put a better movie on here it actually looks pretty darn good. It's the most impressive 3d content I've seen so far on the 3vo

Where did you get your phone, Best Buy?
I applied the update and now my phone shortcut is missing from the lockscreen and the app drawer. I searched online and apparently it's a common issue and HTC is working on yet another update to fix it. Apparently the first OTA update allowed you to connect to the phone via ADB.... so it looks as if they MAY be in the process of unlocking the bootloader for us.
Either way, there are a few small bugs to work out.
I wouldnt apply the OTA.. i know that its not confirmed it will do anything to affect root. However my understanding is the devs working on root didnt do it and im not going to either. Id like my phone to be as similar to the ones they are working on as possible just in case it matters.
On top of that i dont see any problems from not installing the OTA.
Too funny. You guys say you don't trust the OTA but you trust the software that came on the phone to begin with? Anyhow, HTC put out an update for a reason- it fixes things that are broken. If you want a partially functioning and buggy device, do not apply the update. If we had root I could see why people would be so concerned about losing it. However, we do not have root and who knows when we will. So, if until then you want a phone that works properly, apply the update which probably isn't going to change a whole lot in regards to your ability to root.
So if I did apply the update I'm f'ed??

My phone arrives Monday but I'll wait unless theres a bug that is really bothering me, otherwise I can hold off. If you want to update for the sake of updating then don't whine if it prevents you from rooting later.

I haven't really noticed anything, however the app update was supposed to fix the constant syncing issue with the "Watch" application. Could help you on battery a bit. I don't think its anything real big.
But, the dev's have recommended not taking the OTA.
I haven't taken it yet everything is smooth for me so far. Heard bad things about taking the OTA that has come out waiting on a newer one.
OTA = Not good and i have had no problems thus far. Hold off because root is so worth it!

The OTA had its own bit of issues look it up on the google. It did something funky to the icons and few other issues.
Taking it wont screw up the chance to get root tho just have to wait on HTC to unlocck the phone.
update download
Is there a way to get this update off my 3vo I'm afraid its gonna eventually dl on its own and take the update
There is going to be another OTA update before root is found. Seriously who really wants to run an old busted OEM RUU that's rooted?
Me personally, I want the latest and greatest OTA, Rooted, and customized. I'll wait for that. In the meantime. Give me all the OTA you have. Updates are good! Omnomnomom!

I don't think it is an issue do to the fact that we are still getting the root, therefore in my opinion they were aware of it and the fix was needed to allow 3D Watch to work which means there's still was a bug or two possibly we will get the the root still over this, shouldn't have any effect against the rooted OTA coming
You guys sure are putting a lot of faith in HTC.....No updates for me until I see one that includes the S-Off bootloader. If your phone's truly not performing to your expectations have at it, but if you really want root at the earliest possible time and your phone's working ok without the OTA's......DON'T TAKE THEM. Remember, you can update at anytime, but you can't always revert back to what you had.

The OTAs are fine. "When" HTC puts out the update for the s-off it will be done via the OTA so you'll have to do it then anyways. The whole "I don't want to update because I won't be able to root it" bull**** is just ignorance. In order to get the root you'll have to update, so might as well do it now and get the bug fixes done.
BTW, running all OTAs and my phone runs like a champs with 0 issues.

You're probably right but at the same time, you could be wrong. If someone wants s-off ASAP then it's safest to not do the OTA just to make sure they're running the same version the Devs are trying to crack. Straying from their targeted version is a risk because we don't know what bug they're exploiting. If you're willing to wait for HTC's s-off then sure, OTA away.
I still have not accepted any ota's. Should I update? And will I still be able to temp root? Reason I'm wondering to update is because when i talk to other people they have trouble hearing me and they say I sound muffled, and was wondering if i update it will fix that issue. Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure about that specific issue, but the OTA has done nothing but help I believe. It significantly boosted my battery life and doesn't close any root holes so nothing negative to worry about.
Same here. I still have root and various fixes were made with the update. But most devs still say not to update. But since HTC will be unlocking the boot loader I said what the hell and just did the updates.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
All of the developers reccomend not accepting the OTA's. However it's your phone, so do as you need too. Just keep in mind that once you update you cannot revert back.
Well, it could complicate attaining root so I simply will not accept an OTA...but with an unlocked bootloader once custom roms come out I won't give a crap about a stock rooted rom...so...given the great things I've heard about these updates I would like to accept them...but I have years of conditioning telling me not to. So I won't. I recommend nobody else does either, but, as previously mentioned--It is your phone.

Either a mistake, or funky timing. That is unless Samsung and VZW have banded together to lock this device down with extreme prejudice. Seems too fast of a reaction time for that. All of their people were off when root happened- Unless they have a weekend warrior strike force!
I really doubt this is to patch root, but i am for sure not going to be the one to find out Thats way to fast of an update to just patch a root exploit, i wonder what the update is really for
Both of the known exploits are well known to Samsung and have been known about since before ME7 was released. You're making it sound like they put this update out in reaction to the program that was just recently put out to take advantage of one of the known exploits. Do we even know for sure there is an update? Is it confirmed by more than one person? What version is it?
