My son decided to flash the OTA update that he downloaded for 2.2 before it got rooted......Is there a way for me to go back and root the phone or no?

lurker... at least SEARCH!

I agree that people should pay more attention to where they post. This is a great forum. But I really wish people would quit being so RUDE!

I think you can find the .exe 1.47 file update and try to make a downgrade, then reroot. Don't know if it will work (if you can downgrade, then rerooting would be a piece of cake) but you can obviously try

are you rooted? because if you are, that shouldnt have happened. you cannot get OTA's when you are rooted. unless its to their voicemail application but not to their roms.

Are you using stock recovery for flashing? If I recall with s-off you needed to use a stock recovery to install any sprint updates?

by unrooting

u can go ahead and download the ota. itll either download to /cache or to /sdcard/downloads. if u down load it just dont apply it. once u have it downloaded just delete it from the directory it was in.

If you guys are trying to do an OTA update and it actually lets you, then you will lose ROOT, just so ya know....

You can download it without installing it.

Can someone post the update package to see what files changed?

[Q] Will 2.3.4 OTA break S-Off?

After searching the forum and reading many posts, it still is not clear to me if the 2.3.4 OTA (I'm being prompted for 4.06) will break S-Off.
When I rooted my Incredible using Unrevoked3, the custom recovery wasn't out yet or otherwise wasn't included. I believe that I am still running stock recovery (haven't flashed any ROMs).
If I do this update will I lose S-Off or lose root?
I know this topic seems redundant, but I haven't read a clear answer.
Thanks.

I'm wondering the same thing.
I just got the last issue on skyraider 4.3 working again, and I don't really want to start over.
This is answered in the q&a forum

If you are currently 's-off' the ota will NOT break root.

What if your phone is only rooted? If you update will you lose root? I don't actually own a dinc but my friends wife keeps asking me if she should update and if she will lose root if she does. Also if she has to reroot after the update do you know of any issues doing so?
I'm having enough issues trying to get everything working with rooting my htc vivid
Thanks for any help.

If the OTA actually can be accepted with your custom recovery (debatable), you would lose root IMO. I think what Stang means is that if you're s-off, you can reflash clockwork and superuser, and reaquire root easily. So it doesn't break your ability to root again.

My daughter downloaded the latest 2.3.4 and now has issues with the memory low icon. Can I downgrade to Froyo? She's finally going to let me root her phone(that I pay for).
Sorry if this isn't the correct thread for this question.

Just press install now and it will count down and not do anything

Yes root the phone then install a Rom like ruby ,or skyraider something with 2.2 froyo

This was my experience. I managed to cp it to my SD card, before it deleted itself, and now I have to rack up a 10 post count so I can let the developers in the developer forum know I have it ready to send to whomever wants to root it and re-released it.

We can't use what yo have unless you did this:

I guess it doesn't matter anyway. I deleted the file from /cache and now it stopped prompting me and reports I'm up to date.

Stang can we PB31IMG back to froyo from 4.08 with S-Off? I know we can do it running 4.06

Yes that should not be an issue at all. BTW guys, in case you all haven't seen, I got the ota rooted and uploaded finally: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347044

Awesome. Now I just need to figure out how to install it.

I can help you with that. If you check my thread again in about two minutes, I will have installation instructions posted.

Excellent! I think I need to flash a recovery though. I either am still on stock, or I don't have one at all (I assume I am on stock). I've never switched ROMs before.

[Q] OTA file OTA_M8_UL-K44

I'm living in Norway and got this OTA today: OTA_M8_UL-K44_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_2.22.401.4-1.54.401.10_release_385389.zip
I haven't installed it yeat and made a copy before I soon will install it. I'm rooted with S-off. Is it strait forward to install it without loosing root and S-off?
Anyone interested in this ZIP-file? If so just tell me where to upload it. 614.47MB

Did you install the OTA? I tried and it start the upgrade but then stops with an exclamation mark. (Rooted and S-off)
What could cause the upgrade to stop?

The phone has to be 100% stock, with all system files intact, and the stock recovery. S-OFF will stay, and being rooted shouldn't be an issue though

It's the sticky at the top of the General section

How to take OTA on rooted/TWRP watch.

What is the correct procedure to take updates on rooted with TWRP watch?
I saw where someone said it needed to be flashed in TWRP but I'm not sure how it should be done.
TIA

anyone?

Possibly adb Sideloading The OTA zip through stock recovery. Assuming no other files have been touched.

Thank you sir, I will look again. For now, I just restored a twrp backup. I was stuck at boot screen (spinning icons) for a minute after uninstalling androidwear from the watch.

negamann, I just realized I am on your rom. Is there a way to get current on your rom?
