I've got a rooted HTC Flyer 3G running Gingerbread. Due to problems with cwm I don't trust the cwm backups.
Now an OTA update on HC is available for my device. I know I'll probably lose root but that would be ok for me.
Is ist possible to OTA update without serious problems?

hi
now iam using modaco custom rom 3.1
can i upgrade my hero to 2.1 which is gonna release on april?
Are there any steps to do that or just download that file from htc site and run it?
I think that should work fine, but it will not be rooted anymore i guess?
from what i gather you'll irreversibly lose your root access if you upgrade to the official one. Something about improved security. Wait a bit and the rooted version of the stock rom would pop up somewhere.
do i need to create any goldcard to upgrade?
or goldcard process is only used to downgrade from custom rom to 1.6 official version?
So I have read that users that get the OTA 2.1 update are able to downgrade back to 1.5. Now my question is; (being this is true and factual) If leakers do end up receiving the OTA 2.1, would we be able to downgrade to 1.5 and then root?
I know most leakers that are anxious for OTA 2.1 are wanting to leak. Myself included. Which is why I figured this question would be helpful to keep our hopes alive!
Thanks!
You should do a bit more reading. The leaked versions changed the hboot to 1.49. To root you need to have 1.46 or 1.47. There is currently no way to downgrade 1.49.

Ngmanis, it depends on how, if ever, they deliver the OTA to leak users.
It's very possible that they do what they did for 1.5 users and send them an update file without a new bootloader, and they could do the same for 2.1 leak users.
If they do this, leaked users will not be able to downgrade to 1.5 nor will they be able to root.
If, however, they release a method to downgrade to 1.5 (which would have to involve downgrading the bootloader) then you should be able to root from there.
I have a HTC Evo 4G with software version 3.30.651.3 from an OTA update. Is it possible to downgrade to the stock 3.30.651.2 rom then root the phone or is it to late to do anything after I accepted the OTA update?
I am trying to root my phone and use the stock rom. I am looking to root so that I can use OpenVPN. Any help would be great.

Mu Humble question after having asked my local HTC retailer about if there is a Honey Comb update and why i am not getting it when i try the OTA, he replied that our region still dose 'nt have the update.
My Question is, if our region dose not have the update and i still want the official version of HTC, isn't there a way (Rom/Method/Link) i can install an official HTC ROM of another region and thus enabling me to get the official OTA Update or directly install the Honey Comb official HTC version ?
Kind Regards,
Hassan
Anyone got answers? or at least point me to the correct thread? i am lost with over information
You would not want to install a ota. You are s off and to be short it would not go well for you. Look for hc with s off thread in flyer development if you want hc

Its true since the OP is S-Off, the OTA or other official update would not work anyway. It will either not flash, or bootloop.
All the OP needs is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358758
op stated
Software number
Fly High ROM V1.1 3G
which implies he is running a custom rom so there is a chance he unlocked his bootloader, but more likely S-off. Yes I did make an assumption
Hi every one
There is ics for s on?
The official OTA (Over the Air) ICS Update has been released some days before. If you dont modified your phone you should go to settings -> Software Update or something like this. And there should be an update for you. If you have a modified ROM on your phone, you won't be able to download this. Then you need to search the forums for Unlocking/getting S-OFF.
Ok
I want to do but I don't know several things.
Can you tell me exactly what I need to start?
Now my hboot 1.49.0014 and my Rom shawn3d gsm rom 1.4
Do I need to downgrade the hboot. Can u tell me which one?
