That is the same message as always. Have you tried following the root process again (ota.zip/update.zip pushes).

Never install OTA updates if you wish to maintain root.

Can someone provide a link to the ota???

I got the text message a little while ago. Just went back to stock out of pure curiosity to see when it comes and what exactly it does.

Can someome link me?

anyone who can provide a download link??? so we can use the update to fix custom roms?

I also got the text from tmobile but I don't want to install it the risk of losing my root. I do want that ota file though. Would love to rip through it and see what exactly might fix that Mms issue. I don't want/use Genius or Faves so I couldn't care less bout those fixes but def wanna grab that Mms!

it's called OTA for a reason..
its OVER THE AIR...
no downloadable file yet

yes but when you recieve the ota, you can grab the link of where it downloads it from, and post that link you can find it in the log of the phone

Rumor claims the new OTA update patches the root methods currently out..
but thats only a rumor

can we still have the update while rooted or we have to unroot first?

[Q] rom manger not wrking (?)

Yes, you do.
Edit: And your post would be Q&A, not development.

Did u try pressing volume down and power at the ! Screen? I know clockwork usually comes up directly using rom manager, but you can still get to clockwork that way.

None of these suggestions are going to do any good if he hasn't the flashed the engineering image.

ok just relized its in the wrong section and yea i read some wear u didnt need to flash the eng spl but i guess i have to so off to do that

I did previously flash the ENG build and I have to go through the first part of the root process every time I want to use Clockwork. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong...

Why would you not flash the eng? It takes 5 minutes that save on asking repetitive questions. Many people will tell you that you DON'T need to flash it, but if everybody flashed the eng build, everytime there was a problem people wouldn't have to ask, "Did you flash the eng build?" Kind of a time-saver and yes it irons out ALL the kinks other than user error.
The belief that it WASN'T necessary was started by Wes Garner because one of his ROMS never installed correctly, but to this day, it still remains uninstallable...so it has nothing to do with the eng build being the prob.
Just my 2 cents, bro.

The engineering rom being optional is like saying leaving gas in your car is optional. I mean, sure, you could always leave it empty and walk to the gas station with a can and come back every time you wanted to start it, but its a heck of a lot easier if you just leave some gas in the tank for next time.

is the update.zip file on your memory card. If it is then all you have to do is flash the update.zip from the recovery menu or just use rom manager

It is on my SD card but I have to do the adb loop process and push the update after unsuccessfully flashing the update just like the first time I rooted. Rom Manager is not getting me into Clockworkmod recovery.

Pretty sure it was Eugene's. I also later ran the corrected .nbh file.

What an odd typo. I meant the ESPRIMG.zip.

You have restored your phone back to stock recovery doing that. You need to reinstall the engineering image.

Even before I ran the ESPRIMG.zip I couldn't get straight into Clockworkmod.
Thanks for helping, by the way. I have to go into work now but I'll give re-flashing the ENG build later.

Just make sure you keep the update.zip on your sd. It didn't let you get straight into clockwork anyway. You need rom manager or bootloader to recovery then update.zip will get you in everytime with the ENG build

HELP!!! Update

okay so I have been rooted for some time now and decided i wanted to unroot (for reasons im still trying to figure out) so now i am on 2.1 update 1 and cannot update to froyo. when i go to settings>about phone>system update it says my phone is up to date and when download the official 2.2 update and rename it to update.zip and try to install it it says a bunch of stuff then e: error in sdcard update.zip (status 7) update aborted. my radio (baseband) version 1.00.03.04.06 . i have done the PB1IMG thing then tried to update and i get the same thing! I am pissed!
any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Matt

I haven't unrooted in a long time, but maybe it's related to the fact that you're still on the old radio? You might need to be on the official froyo radio which is 2.15.00.07.28

Thank you how do I get the new radio?

Be sure to take extra care when flashing radios. Don't pull the battery while it's updating and even if it looks like it's not doing anything, LEAVE THE PHONE ALONE. Read up in that topic for more information on how to flash radios.

I appreciate your help, I will study up and perform the update tonight. When I post back tonight with the results hopefully I will be updating to froyo
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

If you are going to go through the trouble of updating the radio and then hope the OTA will push, why not install the update? Its the same process and you'll be assured you have the 3.26 build.

Because I can not install the update right now if you read my first post I explain. It says update aborted

Your doing it wrong. My idea is you would be using hboot to flash the update. It will work and not fail.
You issue using the update.zip idea is phone is checking for files that aren't there and then aborting. Hboot will not look for these files and will upgrade you.
An even easier idea would be just to run the ruu if you have a windows PC.
I'm just trying to save you time and headache. You don't have take my advice.

alright, I flashed the new radio(2.15.00.07.28) and i am still having the same problem, not being able to update, either way(manual or by ota) and i am still frustrated. the one weird thing is that after i flashed the new radio when i went to recovery to try ro manual update it was clockworkmod!? I have no idea what the heck is up with my phone! does anyone have any ideas?
thanks,

You will have to either reroot or flash clockwork through hboot when you are done if you want root again.

Don't open or unzip the file. Simply rename and move to SD card. Check the md5 to make sure the zip didn't go tits up during download.
The ruu is a .exe. I'm in class and don't have time to explain. Just Google it.

Cannot find update
Installation aborted.
So later I tried to install the cyanogenmod ROM and the same exac thing happened. I checked with terminal emulator to see that I am still rooted and I still have S-OFF. Any help would be appreciated because the nexdroid ROM looks amazing.

Are the files on the root of your SD card? If you can find and select the file and it aborts the install it could be a bad file download. I'm not really sure as I've never had that happen.
Either way, If you post this in the Q & A forum you are 100% more likely to get some useful help.

Help on rooting

I recently aquired a mytouch slide 3g from a freiend, I wouldn't call my self a noob but I need some help. On almost any guide I try I seem to have troubles I haven't been able to push anyfiles through adb the main problems I keep having are my adb server is "out of date" and has to be killed every command half the the the server can't restart and also on some files I try to push its says it can't because the system is read only. Any advice would be gladly welcomed. Of and I'm on the 2.2 update

I had the 2.2 update on my phone when I got it. It was a real pain to get root, I used the guide at theunlocker. I still don't have s-off though and cannot adb push files to system. I have to make all mods to rom and then flash it.
