So Monday I guess there is like a bug fix update to fix the netflix and phantom voice mail that most of us got with the gingerbread update. It annoyed me so much that I switched Roms and am loving my MikG 1.03 Rom. So I do want the netflix back. Will it show up as an ota update on custom Rom or do I wait and get it after someone has posted it as a zip or something.

I'm sure it'll be an OTA but you might as well wait for the rooted version to prevent an un-rootable situation.

I second that...avoid the OTA and the bloatware that comes with it
Those of us who remember the 2.2 OTA fiasco and the days of waiting some users had to do before it could be rooted will know that taking an OTA is, potentially, a trap. Most of the time, not so much, and maybe not even intentionally, but we all know it's possible.
Don't be a lemming. And certainly don't be the first lemming off the cliff.

2.2? The 2.3 update was just as bad, perhaps worse.
And yes, don't take the official OTA, wait for a rooted version of it.

Unlikely. Their announcement was for all newly released devices from that point forward.
I just didn't know if it was going to be a simple tweak or if it would replace the whole operating system. I avoided the gingerbread OTA update so will be doing the same on Monday. Hopefully Tuesday I will be running netflix again.

people are so stupid, when they say this weekend, they dont mean 0.00 on saturday morning, just wait its gonna be within the next two days.
What's the differences between official froyo and the custom versions? Better battery life? Have been on sense froyo for ages.. Unless it increase the battery life otherwise can't see any point of being excited..

Official release of the OS is better simply because everything is working just fine... Or at least on 99% ...
The versions of Froyo for Desire are a leaked ones and even they work fine they have lots of issues to be fixed...
I'm not so experienced in Android OS but these are my visions on that problem. That's why I didn't root and install some of the cooked versions of Froyo for Desire and waited (... and still waiting) for the official release of 2.2 Froyo
Even though I'm a little bit reserved about that the Froyo will be rolled out this weekend I have some hope that it would become true and we, the Desire users, will taste the flavor of the frozen yogurt soon!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076150 Download this apk. Worked perfectly fine on my device.
Hello I'm new here and I would like to ask if I should wait for someone to root the 4.22.651.2 or I should just download the new its the 4.24 and forget about rooting my EVO
So the golden rule is of course never take OTA updates. However, I look at it this way. Your already unrooted, and if they find an exploit were still looking at several weeks before it's released so why not see what the new firmware brings.
Im guessin now that this latest OTA is released things may progress, but what the heck do I know.
I got the update this morning.
So what happened? Is this a whole new ROM or just a patch?
i SAW, AND AS SURE AS SNOT IS SLIPPERY, DID NOT INSTALL TILL I KNOW WHAT IT DOES
way to thread necro mate!
I heard from somewhere (but don't remember where) that T-Mobile will be issuing an OTA update some time November to open up the wifi calling feature, is that right? Can someone confirm that?
Also, will that OTA be making an update to the existing firmware or will it be completely wiping out the existing system and flashing a brand new one?
Reason I ask is because I'd very much like to keep the root that I have right now with the "Voodoo OTA RootKeeper" app written by supercurio, but that app is only going to work if the OTA is an update, not a complete override.
a bit early, considering the phone just came out less than a month ago...
the next OTA will most likely be ICE 4.0
my guess Feb 2012
There is an update coming I think Nov 16 or something like that to bring us WIFI calling, but that's it for now.
This phone is a Beast..
i thought it was november 11
The 13th was what was quoted in earlier post as far as I can remember. Who really knows though. Should be coming soon though.
i don't count that OTA as an actual update, it's rather an OTA app install
similar to what we can do from Android Market web to install apps to our phones
just this is Tmo sending the app to our phones via OTA

I also read that its the 13th. I at least hope that Samsung would fix the lockscreen issue that a few user are facing. Luckily since I've been rooted on custom roms this hasn't happened to me. Although it did on the stock unrooted rom.

the update on the 13 is only for the WiFi calling app AFAIK
they might include some other bug fix, but i doubt they will have anything for the screen optimization

I'm a little concerned. With everyone here rooted and on custom roms, noone will get the OTA update. That means we have to rely on outside sources for the availability of that update. That also means we will have to unroot/go back to stock to get the update. That just seams like a lot of wasted time. I'm going back to stock right know so I don't waste any time.
Then again, maybe it would be better to get it a couple hours after it is released. I mean with sprints network pushing all those updates at once.... waiting might even be faster.
From what i've seen most of the time the ota is leaked here before its released.

No that was not THE ota but an ota most of the leaks supported ota flash and we will know when the ICS kernel source is released and when you look at your phone and it says there is a firmware update lol

You will know. It will be posted on BGR, Brief Mobile, Android Police, etc. Sprint usually lets the world know a few days before the OTA is sent. Chances are it is that it will be the last RDF that is posted before they announce.
On the old Epic the source was usually dropped the night before the OTA started. There's always someone lurking on stock and you get a topic on the forum stating "Have OTA notification can someone help me pull it?"
So, in conclusion, there's no cause for alarm.
Plus not everyone here is rooted. There are those that prefer unrooted stock. I can't imagine why but they exist

Rooting doesn't prevent the OTA from installing. Modifying or deleting system files with your root power is what causes the OTA to fail.
If you install the pre-rooted EL29 ODIN OneClick, the OTA will install file. It will disable your root, as all official OTAs do.
Won't our phones get the OTA notification regardless what build/ROM is installed?
Depends if the app that handles the updates was disabled/removed, never present, or still active.

Makes sense.
Do you know what app handles that and how to check and see if it's still in operation?
That was my thinking before too. When I first installed custom roms with ek02. I thought how I would have get the next OTA update. I just waited until the developer of the ROM i'm using updates it to the latest build. now I don't feel the need to accept any future OTA updats. Plus it will break root anyway, if you didn't change any system files. Might as well wait a few days and get the update with the ROM of your choice. you can always download the OTA update later on and install it manually if you want too. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I think it is System Updates, but might be Smart Device Manager.
The process to check for updates is distinct from the one that bugs you to install after it is downloaded. They may or may not be in the same app.

well with everyone saying that nobody wants to release a root exploit that'll be patched by 4.3, I would guess that devs would rather root 4.3 than 4.2.2
I am not sure if it works this way with bootloader unlocking and all but I remember reading back in the Windows XP days that exploits would come out after a patch. The exploit guys would see what was patched and then exploit that knowing not everyone had applied the update. So I am going to wait a little bit if an OTA comes out just in case someone can look at what was patched and find a way in.
If you want root, never take an OTA.
End. Of. Story.
If you do not.

THIS is exactly why you DO NOT EVER take an OTA if you want root.
prime example, the SG4 just got an OTA, it literally didn't update much of anything except take root + recovery away from those foolish enough not to listen to the warnings
I'm unlocked and I usually run stock Rom's. When the first OTA came out I just took it. I lost root but all I had to do was flash my super su zip and I was back in business. Why wouldn't I just be able to do the same with this next OTA?

It makes so much sense, I am confused why people decide that an OTA is better than an OTA with root?
no patience I believe.
me wants 4.3 NOW
in all reality it'll prob be mostly security fixes and some software fixes like camera, unless VZW actually does us a solid and gets an OTA out to fix that damn bug
It's like this, most uninformed people would rather be able to say they have 4.3 while their friends may only have 4.2 still. "I'm better, my number is higher." Intel played that game with the Pentium 4 back in the day. Just because they had a 2Ghz processor didn't mean the AMD counterpart at 1.46Ghz didn't rip it a new one.
Same goes here. With the newer patches and updates come new FIXES, which is exactly what we don't want. Our wonderful devs here are doing the same things the guys who work with the Verizon updates are... Finding exploits and if Verizon finds them first and you end up patching with an OTA, well you're screwed then aren't you?
Just say no to OTA.
Is there a way to be sure OTA won't get installed? I can remember waking up in the morning to find my Rezounds sitting at the yellow triangle due to failed OTA's that I never initiated? Had the same thing happen on a friends DINC2. I recall deleting otacerts.zip from /system/etc/security to prevent this, does this still apply today?
Being Dev Unlocked worst case is I would have to reunlock using the Unlock_code.bin I have saved?
People keep asking this question for every device whenever there's an OTA on the way. Tons of people go out of their way to warn them not to take an OTA ever if they're interested in root. I say just let them learn from their mistakes.

You only take an update if already locked down. Many of these kids are noobs like YOU and don't know better, NO do not take an update unless we tell you it is safe. We can pull what is needed to make it safe.

Not sure. Been away from HTC for awhile. More than likely the code will no longer work. They are blowing Q-fuses on a lot of these devices now to permanently kill RW of the bootloader like old Moto devices. Search and find the files that allow update if on stock. The devs should have already disabled on any custom roms.
