Just curious... Once development really kicks in I will be spending a lot of time in the development forums and was getting a head start getting good idea who was going to be there with me.
Taking roll. You might say.

I had root the day before it was 'official'
Just rooted yesterday. Just worried cuz there is no unroot method to date. If there is an update, we may not be able to take it. Is it true that it might brick our rooted phone if we take an update?

Do you mean an ota update? No your phone get bricked so long as your not s custom ROM that heavily changes the phones internals your good for an update
Did it the same time i saw the first how to post......I just wish all my saved wi-fi locations got restored from my old epic4g titanium backup....no luck so far. All my other titanium backed up apps restored just fine except Launcher Pro I had to start clean with that one....lol

I had problems restoring saved WiFi access point data on my Nexus S when going from Gingerbread to ICS. If you're up to the challenge, you can easily open the backup in a text editor. If you hadn't set the backups to be encrypted that is.
Then on the GS3, with WiFi off, copy and paste the values into the following file:
/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
You can use Root Explorer or something similar. If you run into any issues, just go ahead and delete the file. It'll get recreated automatically on reboot. Good luck!

Did it Sat night lol 3AM.....Is there a way to stop ota from automatically happing.
I havent but its only because I really dont see a reason to at this point. As soon as there are some nice custom ROMs, Ill be hanging in the dev section as well. I just dont see the need to root for the sake of having root at this point.
Did mine on Sat. It is nice to be able to remove a bunch of the bloatware.

I rooted my skyrocket thru odin. everything looks fine. Used cwm to flash superuser.zip but titanium back up and busy box are both telling me that i am not rooted. Superuser app is installed but not asking permissions for anything.

I cannot post in the development page yet..... can someone please link me the download page for CM 10, would love to mess around with it.
Also i am not rooted yet, i took the OTA and now can root with the roots currently available, If i do a full wipe to factory will it also take out the OTA so i can root my EVO?

yes I know it wont take out root, however i am not currently rooted, I took the OTA update to fix Gwallet. Is there a way to get back to the original version of sense so i can root?
I don't think so, someone please correct me if I'm wrong as I don't believe in otas, but once u take it, it will always revert to the latest update rather than the original version.

There were root options that fixed it within days of it being borked. Long before the ota. Oh well, you live and learn
Also, nobody can link you to the cm10 download page. If you want the ROM you HAVE to go to IRC to get it. Theres a sticky with a link in it in the general section.

HTC dev puts many restrictions on you. You can't flash radios, splash screens, or kernels from recovery, and you can't flash anything via bootloader.

To my knowledge, we only have one dev who is sorting out the new OTA.
Allow me to quote his exact words here...
"It's not just an RUU or a simple zip file that can be restructured, rooted and posted.
It has over 200+ patch files that have to be dealt with as well, all of which are encrypted.
Including the build.prop"
So with that being said, it will take a little bit. I know he's working as fast as he can.

Also GB was released as an ruu and this update is a set of encrypted patches. Big difference in the process necessary to make it usable.

All a conspiracy by VZW and HTC to piss off us Thunderbolt purchasers enough that we buy new phones!
Seriously tho, I am about to go crazy waiting for this release now for what, 7 months?
If you were me, what would you do in this situation? I had to get a replacement Note 2 and the replacement thankfully came with the VRALJB software installed. I deferred the update to L4 for 5 days.
Would you just root and unlock the bootloader now the easy way, or take the L4 update and do it the harder way? Would either way be beneficial or does it not really matter?
Thanks!
Go ahead and unlock/root. You don't have to do anything further if you don't want to and you never know how difficult it would be to unlock in the future.
When I purchased mine outright it had the older software. I used the jailbreak method and that worked like a charm.

Either way. Just do it on the current software and save a step. Same end result.

As others said doesn't matter. Once you flash aROM you could just flash the LL4 radio and it would be the same as the OTA.
So I guess Odin didn't fix your last one?

Yup, I had the S3 for a while and was over there. Yeah man, I was chatting to the developer of the Jedi ROM and I sent him the meta folder of the ROM that I flashed for beta testing and he saw some problems. He said it was touching some partitions that it shouldn't be touching.
Anyhow, I guess I learned the hard way to be careful of testing ROMs from devs that I don't really recognize.
Time to root this bad boy and get back in business lol.

Just got my S 4 a few days ago. BestBuy guy fiddling with it updated it to the ME7 build of which I had no idea couldn't get boot loader unlocked for yet. If I had known that at the time, I wouldn't have been letting him mess with it so long. Anyway, I am on ME7 and rooted..thank goodness that's available at least. Any word on the unlocked boot loader? Est. time on how long it takes to crack these things? I'm coming up from the SIII which I loved flashing new ROMs and fell in love with CleanROM, Hyperdrive and Bonestock. It's kind of a bummer I got my S 4, which I love btw, but I can't put that awesomeness on it yet. Any info would be great! Thanks everyone and as always Android>iOS woooooooooo

If it's within 14 days, you should be able to exchange it. Just say you want a different s4. You might have to pay a minor restocking fee. It's up to you if it's worth it.

It will ask you to update right when you turn it on most likely. Some users said it automatically updated overnight. So make sure you root and rom it immediately once you get it to stop that.

Yes within 14 day period. They didn't even inspect my phone or ask me anything. I just said new firmware had issues and also I'd like a black one instead. If you are going to BestBuy be sure to get their phone insurance through Geeksquad, that stuff is great.
