Hey guys,
This probably isn't just for DHD users but seeing as thats what im using i'll post it here!
So a while back i went through the custom ROM phase. I am by no means an expert in this area, im just able to follow instructions!
I rooted with visionary and went radio-off with the one click method (My phone was on 1.32). I gave a few ROMS a go and just preferred stock battery life etc so restored the stock ROM from my clockwork recovery back-up.
My question is how do i get my phone back to the state where it will receive official OTA updates from HTC (I've read that they wont work once you've done the S-off/radio-off procedure).
If its not possible to get it back to this state then what options do i have for getting official updates (say whenever HTC push the 2.3.3 ROM!)
Thanks Guys
easy way , run ruu updater utility for your phone but you loose all data and settings
Unroot it and install stock rom. You should be able to get total updates then

Yep, that's the guide to follow
That's the one. Use 1.32.405.6 RUU. Then you must turn your phone S-ON, you can follow the instructions in my radio s-off tool thread to do that.
Is this correct that if you root and have S-OFF you won't receive updates? I asked that question at the time of rooting and was told that I would still get updates?
The only reason I rooted was to get Adfree working and get other such apps for rooted devices.
My Rom is the 1.32.405.6 as I bought the DHD all I have done is root with Visionary and got S-OFF.

im in the same boat. wouldn't mind leaving my phone as is if id still recieve updates despite the root and s-off!
S-OFF does not disable OTA updates, but root does.

Oh so whenever there's an OTA available I can just unroot the phone? Or is it a little more complicated?!

I used the S-OFF tool and Visionary temp root then perm root. How would we go about restoring everything when it comes to being able to get the 2.3 update?
Kind of wish I didn't root now as I was told the oppisite that S-OFF and rooting wouldn't effect getting updates.
Edit: I just used attempt unroot with Visionary, the DHD rebooted and I used root checker from the market and it says I don't have root now. Would this be sufficient to get updates now do you think?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Yep, that should be alright. If the OTA does not want to install, you can just flash HTC RUU and the issue will be fixed. You will get a notification about the OTA anyway, so you do not have to guess whether it works or not.
Thanks that's good to know that the update notification will come and that by unrooting fixes any problems. In the meantime until 2.3 comes I think I'll reroot
I only rooted in the first place to get things like Adfree and Drocap2 working.

Ok I have a rooted hero and my boss has the evo so I don't get to updating it much. I used unrevoked to root the phone when they first came out and have installed no updates so far. I saw I missed unrevoked2 and 3 and reading the notes on the website leaves me with more questions then answers. I tried running the recovery console from hboot but it gave me a red triangle with !.
So now I am trying to figure out how to update since I can't access the recovery screen. Can I just update to 1.42 and then run the unrevoked3 and have full root access? Any suggestions. Thanks
that sounds like it should work, do it quick though because when froyo 2.2 comes out, u might not be able to root.
and btw unrevoked 3 is not a full root, if u use simple root it is, and just as easy, might take 15 min. though
When you are at that screen with the red triangle hold volume up and press power that should get you into the boot screen.

What is the difference between full root and what unrevoked 3 get you?

You unlock NAND which means you can make changes to the file system. If you want to remove stock apps, make any file changes or want to install custom ROMs, then you need NAND unlocked. Careful though, it downgrades your PRI and there is NO way to upgrade it again, even if you return to stock. If you are able to do what you need with what unrevoked provides, you are better off sticking with it.

so if I don't care about running custom roms (only really interested in wireless tether) then upgrading the phone...breaking root...and then just running unrevoked3 would be my best option?
Can I just install the deodexed version of froyo released today?
Yes but you have to be fully rooted...nand unlocked...and have a recovery flashed to download that.

Dont do update 1.42....
My advise, don't update to 1.42, unistall unrevoked and do Toast root 1 and 2 method, then you'll have nand unlocked so you can flash a 1.42 rom already rooted, after that you can flash any Froyo flavor you want.

Do not upgrade manually, i repeat, DO NOT UPGRADE, it would be difficult later to get the full root
I just rooted/nand yesterday on 1.47 w/ 1 click simpleroot ota. it was super easy and painless.

The only way you can update to 2.2 AND have root is to go to full root/nand unlock...
Use simpleroot imo and then flash the ROOTED stock froyo rom.

I rooted my EVO using unrevoked and I received a notification from Sprint that there are new updates. Is it ok to update after my phone is rooted?

You will lose root, just like it says in their instructions.

Yes you will lose your root, but its not as bad as everyone makes it sound now. With Unrevoked out it is easy to root so just run it then re root with unrevoked. I did the exact same thing on purpose knowing it would unroot me but it was fast and easy to root again and I felt better knowing I was up to date with Sprint's official stuff.
So with UnrEVOked, future OTA updates still work? I'm also thinking about updating the radio, WiMax, etc. (link)

The latest update wouldn't work for me. I had to download the update to my pc, transfer the update to he root of my SD card and run the update from recovery and when it was done I lost root, but I just ran unrevoked again and was rooted once more.
BTW the update isn't exactly a quick process, maybe 20 minutes or so. In fact it was taking so long that I thought it locked up, but it didn't and it worked.

I cannot connect to the network and want to install the OTA to loose root, and then root again later. I installed the OTA via wi-fi but get an error when installing.

so its really possible to update Android 2.3 OTA on rooted DHD, right?
Means rooted phone cannot update Android 2.3 OTA.

To do manually follow any of the threads in development forum.

but remember, you wont be able to use any apps that require root access, as the latest GB rom from HTC hasn't been rooted, so BEWARE!!!!!!!
if you need, you can go for any GB ROM from here, which provide you full access to root & superuser, etc.
Try using visionary
I know there's a unroot function on it, but never used it. Probarly someone else did, maybe search the forum
hey i hav desire...
s-off , rooted
hboot 0.93
will i be getting official update to 2.3...
You need to unroot and go back to stock if you want to receive update.
Just run the appropriate RUU for your phone if you want so.

When one is using stock rom, one can receive ota updates even if one is s-off and rooted. By flashing ota updates the phone gets s-on and one doesn't have root access any more.

Yeah but it's not advised to use OTA updates when rooted.

So I rooted my 2nd phone which is a g2 last week when it was v2.2.1,i used gfree to permroot it everythin went well but I left it stock cause I didnt have time to flash a rom anyway I received the ota update overnight when I woke up I had v2.3.4?? My question is that I still have s-off & could get into recovery manually but when my phone is on it doesnt reconize superuser or rom manager,it states I need root? Can some1 guide me to the right place? I searched but cnt find an answer?

Wait, what? your phone doesn't just update itself. you have to accept the OTA and approve it installing.
Well thats what I said! I guess theres a ghost in my house lol... Yeah i went to sleep with a permrooted g2 & woke up to an updated 2.3.4.. I still got s-off & can get into recovery,it shows me cwr 3.0.2.4

Just follow the guide to rooting 2.3.4.
Question is why in the hell would you run the ota update on a rooted device when you can get exact same rom but with root access usually at minimum a month early?
