I searched for my answers but no luck. I have rooted my slide and have su. I have not done the eng build I just got my update notice from tmo If I use rom manager to back up my phone and install the update can I go back and still have root? I have a feeling from what I have read that I can't. I havent decided which rom I want so I am waiting for one that fits me best. I know I could just try them all lol. Thank you for any help
Do the Eng build part and flash ChiefzReloaded's rooted OTA(latest update) rom. It includes the latest radio and it's the latest rooted stock rom. So not only you get your stock rom, you get updated to the latest radio. You can find it in the development section. Hope it helps.

ok i just used the simple root method to root my phone. now my 3.5 jack doesnt work cant use a head set. Also i notice it downgraded everything. I wanna use flips roms but it says i need the newest radio and build. Is there anyway to get that without flash the stock rooted rom. Or do i just flash it then flash flips. Someone please help me im really confused right now
not sure if it helps, but after you root you should wipe then flash a new rom (like fresh if thats what you want). Then after you flash the rom you can flash the newest radio (unless the dev said to flash radio first)
go get the 1.47 build, flash that on there, then root it. it'll update your radio and 4g, then root and flash flipz.
ok confused cause i had the 1.47 build then used simpleroot for it but it downgraded my software but gave me full root. where can i get the 1.47 build at
all i want to do is to be able to use flips roms.
it said it came out but i didnt get it i checked for updates but it says there are no updates available for your phone
Just flash a ROM from the Development forum. In fact, root first, and flash a rooted ROM.
which one
im using fresh now
and its rooted
is there a froyo one?
Hello, I have a Desire Z NOT G2 that I bought. I rooted it using the gfree method posted on the wiki section of the site. There is a new update for it and I'm afraid to return it to stock because the process mentions the ROM for a G2. Can someone please help me. I don't know what to do. Is there a RUU or ROM I can use? I am currently on Build number 1.34.707.5. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks
Don't apply the over the air update. It will remove root and mess with the phone.
In order to root the DZ, the software had to downgrade to the 1.34 software, which you now have. This is not the latest software of course.
If you want a stock ROM with the latest OTA update, go to the dev section and find a pre-rooted ROM that is based on the latest update. You can then flash through ROM manager and you'll keep root and have the latest OTA.
Be sure to do a nandroid backup before you flash, of course.
Thanks. The thing is I already tried to apply the update but it didn't work. I'll start looking around. Any suggestions on what ROMs I should get. Thanks. I ask because I am a complete Noob is there a pre rooted like you said based on a 1.72 with its camera and battery life improvements? I'm looking now for the developers section. Thanks!!!!!!
Quick noob question.
I rooted with unrevoked a while back and have been very happy.
Currently:
And. version 2.2
software 3.70.651.1
Hboot: 2.10.0001
Just wanted to update to the most recent OTA as I'm fine with running the stock ROM. Just wanted control over sprint bloatware and free wifi tether.
Do I need revolutionary and do I need to run each update in order or can I simply update via the most recent OTA (rooted OTA of course) and it be all inclusive of the changes throughout the preceeding updates?
Thanks for any help with my basics!

Yeah never except an official ota.
You run the risk of losing root or bricking your precious evo. Its fine to flash an updated rooted ota over your 2.2. Also the official latest updates are apparently a pain in the ass to root (so I'm told).
There a couple devs that are pretty quick at pushing out the rooted ota's in the dev section. Just flash those to keep your control of your sprint bloat and not have the worries of rooting again.

First, do NOT take an OTA if you are rooted, never.
Second, since you are rooted, there is no need to re-root, as long as you update the correct way. Just download a stock rooted rom for the latest ota in the dev section, and flash it like any other rom. That way you stay rooted, and are updated.
that im not sure about that, this will def work just bare with me ill get ya hooked up. put this file (evorec)in your c:
http://db.tt/RFKLNzlS
make sure its not zipped after you dl... open cdm type this in order.
cd\evorec you will get this evorec> then type in this.....
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-supersonic-v3.11.img
it will force install recovery .i just tested this 3 times so i know it will work. inside the folder is ra 2.3 and 3.11 img. also the flash command i posted (you must be in fastboot for it to work). if you want to use 2.3 just change the numbers only in the flash command. if for some reason you cant dl the whole evorec file. copy all the contents make a evorec folder yourself and place it in c: follow the steps after that.

Okay, a little late for me as well...in same boat as OP. I currently have it downloaded, when I try to install I get an exclamation in a triangle and a blue android. But, fortunately I can reboot and get back to my set-up. Is there a way to clear the download from my system/status bar?
I am not new to the android / xda community by any means, but I can say that I am either missing something or information is incredibly dis-contiguous. That said, on my older HTC phones I pretty much went through hastle to get them rooted and then just flashed whatever Via recovery.
I have managed to figure out how to get root and flash custom recovery and all that jazz. I also had a custom rom at one point, but I like stock rooted better.
ANYWAY I am on Baseband L900PALJC and Build JRO03C. I keep getting those stupid update notifications and I would like to get updated to the correct Profile / Baseband / Radio / Stock Rom ETC. can someone briefly explain what all needs to be done or point me to a somewhat organized set of valid instructions ? I am currently downloading the newest toolkit.
You're already rooted so you don't need that toolkit. Go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2148604 and download the odex ROM and the All in One firmware. Flash the firmware which will upgrade that from LJC to MA7. Then flash the odexed ROM. You will be rooted, upgraded to the latest firmware and the latest stock ROM (MA7).
