So since it doesn't matter once a year is up and warranty expires, rooting is no big deal, right?
I'm unrooted, and with t-mobile releasing the 4.3 OTA update soon, I was thinking to either root then, or after warranty expires because I don't expect any further updates beyond 4.3 in the next year.
Any thoughts? I don't wanna flash a ROM, just for Titanium and to remove carrieriq and other bloat. Thanks all.

Well, tbh, I'm just not familiar with Android or Android devices, and therefore not fully confident about how to root and all that. A bit broke at the moment so bricking my brand new phone would suck bad.

Droid Razr gets Jelly Bean update today while we still wonder if the Rezound is even on the list.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
My forecast, the Rezound probably won't see jellybean officially. If that's what you're wanting to see I would get a different device. And by that I mean a device that already has jellybean.

And HTC wonders why their profits fall as they forget about flagship phones, first 4G phone, first HD 720p phone, etc...if u can't keep those updated then why keep buying from your company? HTC better redesign their business model or bye bye. Even Motorola is only gonna slightly theme on top of Google updates so they can update within 3 months of a new release. I will protest against HTC by buying the new X phone by google and Motorola.

I think a lot of it is "why bother with Verizon phones?"
Verizon only cares about the popular phones. You can't blame them if they make money from it.
With the Bionic getting OTA 4.0 and Razr getting OTA 4.1.2 shows that HTC is slowly digging their own grave. They are always late or deliver an incomplete update that breaks something that needs and update to fix it. HTC flyer comes to mind....they broke it with update then simply walked away like a child who broke something acted like it never happened.

I disagree. I feel it's a fail on your part for even considering it will get Jelly Bean. Why are you so worried about what Motorola is doing when you have a HTC device?

Posts like these bother me. The phone got ICS months ago and now peopel are whining like little babies, "I WANT JELLY BEAN! HTC SUCKS!" HTC IS FAILING!"
To be honest I probably won't get another HTC device in 2013 when I upgrade, but I'm not whining about my Rezound either. I paid a mere $60 for it 3 months after it was released.
I will laugh at the naysayers and whiners **WHEN** we get official JB OTA.

I don't think the Rezound was meant to be a flagship in HTC and Verizon's eyes. It was just a device to have something to sell near the holidays and was never too popular sadly.

If this is how u feel then why ever update the phone past what it comes equipped with. You are missing the entire point I was trying to make. This is hands down a better device than the Razr but is being held back by HTC that would rather build new phones than update them. My last 3 phone have been HTC, my next will be the X phone. If my thread bothers u so much to bad, it was a news update and opinion from me, we still have free speech....for now anyways.

Hello everyone I'm coming from HTC one S. I still have the phone but I joined up with Verizon left T-Mobile. Couldn't stand the bad to no reception I had at my job. I was pretty hesitant to get this phone because I know it's been about for about 6 months and there's probably another phone around the corner but I really couldn't wait with the bad service so here I am. I really like the phone so far haven't rooted yet and planned to wait awhile but there's no button remap on stock heard it was removed do guess I'll be rooting soon!

I really do feel the disappointment for all those that took the update. I would be pulling my hair out and cursing the heavens by now :silly:
Didn't take an OTA here.. unfortunately, mine shipped from Amazon with the update installed. So patiently I wait for our wonderful developers to get root for those of us late to the party.

I wouldn't be so anxious to root the DNA.. I rooted mine the first day I got it and about 3 weeks ago had to unroot it just to apply the update that was released because I kept getting a screen popping up telling me to "Set a Date" to install the update, which was impossible to install with a rooted phone... so yea.. don't be so anxious ;x

Or you could of flashed a rom that was updated, or flashed a rom which disabled the ota, or flashed the package that disables the ota.

I myself cannot wait to root and flash. I have had the phone for about a week now and it came updated. I am close to trading for a Note 2 or GS3 I'm so anxious hahaha. I will be patient though haha.
I'm on the same boat sucks to have no root for ota. Well unlocked bootloader actually.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
Unlocked bootloader with OTA? How so? I just want to root to remove/freeze bloatware. Flashing ROMs maybe eventually, but I think this phone is awesome out of the box.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
The issue with ota is unlocking the bootloader. We can't do it anymore with the new ota. In order to get root the bootloader needs to be unlocked so that we can flash a custom recovery and flash super user granting root. Without the bootloader we have nothing. The people working on getting the bootloader unlocked it is said they have root on ota but for us to get to that we need the bootloader unlocked.

This morning while I was simply just surfing YouTube I got a prompt asking me to start downloading a firmware update. I accepted and let it download but have no idea what it is. It's a 228 mb file. When it finished downloading nothing happened. Went to the AT&T Software Update menu and it says "Continue Update" but when I hit it nothing happens. Anyone have a clue? Could it be the 1.29 update?

That's what I'm saying. I couldnt even get any info on what the update was. But it's a pretty big file. Hopefully it doesn't prevent the HTC Dev Unlock because we are dealing with AT&T.

The prevention of Dev Unlock is totally on HTC. Unless AT&T is pushing a new Hboot, which MIGHT block it, but it is easier for AT&T to contact HTC and tell them to block the AT&T phones from the procedure.
Yeah you're right I was a little paranoid because I didn't want another HTC One X situation. I rooted and rommed my other One but haven't done this one so I guess I can just test it out and see what happens. And btw, do you know what the current hboot is right now?

I read the other day that a similar update hit the international version and it is believed to be a prep update for 4.2.2

At&T did something similar when the LGOG finally updated to Jellybean. The update wasn't that big, but they rolled out a "patch" via OT then a week later JellyBean.
