Right now I an running stock 2.2 Tom rooted. I can't get over the air updates and was wondering if I unrooted with an ruu and turned the security on my phone on if it would then be able to receive OTA updates. Answers are greatly appreciated.
I meant stock 2.2 rom not Tom.

Ok, so I have a samsung captivate, and with the captivate i do not have to root to flash recovery and then a custom ROM.
But, my friend has an EVO and wants a ROM. Only problem is he's running 2.2, which as I've read hasn't been rooted for evo yet.
So, can I bypass needing root by simply flashing recovery and flashing custom ROM?
Regards
Smith

Yes, you can root 2.2 and no you can not bypass it

You need to provide more details...
1. By what means did you get it?
2. Did you root the phone?
3. Do you have a warranty?
4. What kind of error?
5. A screenshot perhaps?
Explain your problem more in detail, also I think this is the wrong section for that. check the general questions section.
cant downgrade 2.3, you are stuck on there till there is a new root for it sorry
You tried using a gold card to downgrade it?
When did T-Mobile send the upgrade
Also I think this is in the wrong section

Wrong section. You should either be posting in the QA section, or one of the root threads with the error you get.
When was gb released? My sister hasn't gotten it yet.

but is the OTA for gingerbread being pushed to those who arent rooted yet?
Got the phone on craigs list the previous owner sent it in for repair for hinge issue and got it back with 2.3. The phone isn't rooted. I like 2.3 but prefer my freedom. I'm at work and can't recall the error but I can push the files with adb but get the error when I run adb shell p.... I did the goldcard. I'm thinking I'm stuck, but ill give it another shot later

Meanwhile, those of us with root have had Gingerbread for a couple months now. If it's not available OTA, it's not officially available.

yup i have it too as well not a big deal, no its not OFFICIAILY OUT, but the Official stock rom is here to flash for those that want to try, this is the latest one and most likely gonna be pushed out.
as my sig shows i have one g2 rooted running cm7 and my other on stock gingerbread no root or s-off
as well this Leaked officail rom was able to fix those that had soft bricks and could not unbrick
and everyone knows to do that the roms have to be signed officialy by htc/tmobile
Currently on the cm7.0 with whatever kernal. i was wondering if updating to the new ota via manual upgrade, do i lose root s-off? if so what is the best and safest way to regain root nand unlock?
sorry its been a couple months since ive been able to get on here and what not. rom manager has been so helpful

If you update via sense you will lose root and get a locked bootloader

Still kind of up in the air as to what's going on. It is locked, without a doubt. I personally believe they will push out an update or a way to unlock it. Like they said they would. I just think they already had it together before it got pushed out.

Don't be a tool and download the OTA Update!
If you like HTC Sense, there is a Rooted Stock GB Rom in the Development Section.
If you want the OTA GB, I'll trade you my phone for yours AS IS. That way I can still do ROM's.

NEVER DOWNLOAD AN OTA! EVER! Not if u like root & running new roms & free tether that is....if not, go head, have a blast! lol But seriously, they usually have things in them that prevent & block root if u update. ALWAYS get roms & updates from the forums or other creditable forums/sources...
Or if you want 100% stock, just don't flash S-On zip file and you can take the OTA update and go back and forth if desired, just make sure it shows S-Off in bootloader and you're all good.

IM sorry i had to do it
Are you rooted? Because the stock 2.3.3 has a weird, more restrictive EPST.
If you are rooted, flash a 2.2 ROM
or one with an older EPST. If not... I've never flashed a phone to another carrier, but what all do you need for activation?
