Im looking to pick one of these up. What I would like to know is the following if anyone knows.
1. Im planning on using this on Simple Mobile, how can I tell if the slide Im getting has the update already installed as part of it? Will the update still be sent if Im using a Simple Mobile simcard?
2. Anyway to install this update manually?
3. Whens 2.2 coming out for this phone? Looking at news stories about this phone online, looks like it was expected months ago.
4. Is there a fully functional Froyo ROM out there for this phone?
5. Can the expresso UI be changed to the normal HTC Sense UI easily or is this part of the ROM or????
Yes it will work on that network as long as its GSM (phone must be unlocked)
NO you will not get the ota pushed,
CM6 is stable
Espresso cant become standerd sense ui
U can manualy flash any new official update,
If you want standard sense install legend2slide beta

ok so im new to android, question
so the so called bootloader screen, is that normal? or is that a result of rooting your evo?
and if so can i get it off my evo?
and lastly, i tried to update to Froyo but my evo says that there is no update, that i am up to date, but im still at 2.1
Bootloader Normal ===> YES
Why Update your phone without Rooting First??? This is not recomended.. first root your phone then update with custom roms for 2.2...
ok good thank god i was lost
well dont you need stock rom to update? well i was trying to update to froyo but my phone wont find it
ive been googling what happened to froyo and i think they stopped the update fo now?
ok i did the stock rom update and the blue arrow navigation is gone, i really liked that app and i cant find it
And i noticed that my Latitude app is gone as well
SORRY
nvm the apps just magically appeared out of no wear
Dis you upgrade to 2.2?

Just received my G2 from Tmobile yesterday, turned on the phone and there was a notifaction saying there is a new version that has Wifi calling and many more fixes. My question is that will I be albe to perm root my G2 now after I updated? Thank you
Yes you will be able to perm root w/o a problem. Go to the G2 android development sections and all your answers are already there
should i get the update from tmobile after getting root
i rooted first since it was easy and now i get a notification saying i got an update is it ok to update thanks in advance
You can root and go straight to a custom rom that takes those fixes and much much more. I recommend CM or Enom's for functionality or virtuous for aesthetics.

I received a new G2 last week, applied the OTA update for wifi calling, and then successfully perma-rooted using the wiki. Took about an hour to go from stock to CM 6.1.1 and overclocked to 1.51Ghz.

But assuming that's the original T-Mo OTA (and I've seen nothing to suggest there's a new one) then it's safe to install the OTA and simply re-root.
You are correct, of course, that folks should stay clear of future OTAs if they are rooted though, till they've been checked by the devs - see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875099

Yeah, I think it just threw some people off with the idea of an ota on a new device. It's still the same ole 1st ota for the G2 unfortunately. Nothing to rip out or borrow...
weird that it didn't come with the ota already on the device but since android, ota's haven't been flashed on the device. nevermind, I thinking of the old wm devices... I'm a bit tired.
Hello everyone,
I'm pretty new to the android world.
I have rooted my HTC desire HD and am willing to fiddle around a bit more. We in Turkey just got an update for the android market, i'd like to know that if i am to update would the phone become unrooted and will i lose my chance to get a custom rom?
I'm pretty sure this topic is covered somewhere but i've been reading pages pages and couldnt find it.
If you have a custom recovery. You cant flash ota updates anyway, it will just fail

The excellent DEVs here at XDA bring you everything as soon as it is released from HTC. Do not worry. Flashing market on top of custom ROM wont work.
You loose root only if you flash the original stock ROM.
I still haven't received the OTA, and I'm not rooted or anything. Is anyone else not received it? Am I doing something wrong?

My only would download when I was on wifi, it stopped with I was in 3g.
Will this un-root me?
I'm coming from an EVO 4G to the Epic 4G Touch. I did the non-Odin root method, does anyone know if this OTA will un-root the Epic?

The update will fail if you're rooted. You have to be stock to update via OTA. Why not manual update + root?

Typically the OTA install fails on a rooted device. Undo root first if you want the update sprint's rolling out.

How did you do the manual update, I really want to do it.
Sent from my Epic Touch using xda premium
I used the zerg rush method that's been listed here to root my phone so I can use TitaniumBackup for my work apps (Good/RSA). I tried other ROMs/Kernels but I got horrible LOS unless I was on stock. I haven't tried since EK02 though but will soon.
I applied the patch with root and it applied successfully. I manually downloaded the leaked zip to my desktop, renamed to update.zip, placed on the root of my SDCARD, booted the phone in to download mode and applied the update.
Update applied without issue but my root WAS removed. I re-ran the auto root using that zerg rush method and my root was back. This was last week and so far no issues.
Pick a ROM...there's lots to choose from...Calk's, StrongSteve, Crawrj, Chris41g...(just to name a few) we've got a slew of brilliant dev's who have cooked up some great ones. Make sure you're on an EG30 modem first before a full EK02 update/flash though. Most of us flashed the EG31 when it leaked and were stuck for a bit.
The one...The only...E4GT
got the update this morning
I got the update this morning, and for the record, I was and remained rooted before and after the update (sfhub ez-root)...Maybe it worked since my system was completely stock, only rooted.

That is correct, if you only ROOTED using the auto root sticky, that will not impede you from successfully installing the EK02 OTA update. If you also installed EG30+CWM, then all you would need to do is install EG30 before accepting the EK02 OTA update.
BTW after the OTA update installed, you would still have Superuser in your app drawer, but the functionality would have been disabled. To re-enable, just run the auto root and choose Option A.
Still haven't gotten the update...on complete stock with no root or anything and EG30
For some reason LoS has gotten really bad the past few days...I guess I only have to wait a few more though so it's not too bad

I got the update this morning (out of no where). Yesterday, I tried putting my phone on airplane mode, turn it off, then pull the battery - nothing. Tried putting phone on airplane mode, pull the battery, then turn airplane mode off - nothing. (This worked for somebody on some ET4G forum out there) Lol, I just think it's ironic!
Just be patient.
Anyone know of a way to disable the update notification?
I don't want it popping up every 10 minutes.

I woke up to the "your update is ready to install message" message. I'm rooted on blazer 1.2, if i want to stay where I'm at, can I just reboot to clear the update? I just don't feel like reinstalling apps and restoring sms.
The leaked ODIN package is 2.3.6. But numerous news said the update is 2.3.5. People have been having doubts whether the ODIN package is "official" or not.
So whoever updated through the "official" channels (Kies, OTA), could you please confirm whether you got a 2.3.5 or 2.3.6?
I updated through Kies.
I updated through odin. Its official as it gets.

Everytime I go into my local T-Mo store, I always end up educating them on a thing or two
It's pretty funny actually. They always look at me like I'm some super-geek freak of nature

Kies Update lost Root
Called TMobile and they sent me an update Kies file to install on my PC to have wifi calling enabled. They turned it on at their servers, so I would be enabled, but I told them I was not running stock rom so they sent an update. Installed the update. PC ran and said new firmware upgrade for my phone. It stated Ver 11.12.16.02 during the install.
Anyways, I now have the WiFi calling familiar icon top left notification area, but root is lost. Just want to know if anyone else has the WiFi calling enabled or not without issues. This is or was on Juggernaut 3.7. Can't boot to recovery now. I will wait to hear back from others.
You are brave for tellig them you rooted your phobe. Yes it removes root and gives you stock recovery. Youll have to reroot and install custom recovery again.

The new baseband does improve my data speed, before 8- 10 mbps, now 15 - 18 mbps. Home button responses quicker, no more accidentally launch voice search. Overall the ROM is more snappy than before. I still try to see if improve the battery life.

Is there anyway to update without losing root? Can the 2.3.6 ota update still be routed?

Too many users worry they will not have any support if their phones are rooted. I have a rooted Nexus one. It had bad hardware Nand. Bad memory blocks in my system and Data and cache partitions. I sent it back rooted, but with stock ROM stuff, to HTC. HTC RMA's my rooted phone. They have to show cause and effect that rooting did any damage etc. TMobile techs were nice. They were happy to send me the info to grab this stuff manually. And by stating I was rooted, that pushed me up the chain to higher level tech support instead of dealing with robots reading scripts, telling you to reboot your phone, or to try such and such etc.

I actually had 18.2 with Speedtest this morning using Beastmod 4.1, before I ran into my manually upgrading the firmware and losing root. All is fine now with a 5 minute re-root process using Odin and PDA option with CWM. Not a big deal but yes, using those XDA individual files could have save me some grief on this
So depending on how good of a signal you have, and the ROM itself, I did show fantastic PRE-Updateing the firmware. These were consistent 15.5-18.2 reading BTW, here in Downtown Las Vegas this morning. Not just a one time anomaly.
2.3.6 via kies working well.
