Still no way to root successfully on new OTA?

I see people having problems with every method going. Just wanted to make sure I am not missing a thread somewhere as I can only view on phone app right now. I want to update but wont risk losing root.

If you're rooted just flash a rooted rom, there's a few out already.
And: post in the right section.

My bad on posting in the wrong place, im on my phone and figured someone in this section would be the first to know, I appologize. I flashed a rom already with the new ota but I want to update the radio and 4g too and I read that aside from the possibilites of having 4g connection issues via bad mac addresses the new radio will cause problems with my old hboot and once I go to the 2.10 version rooting is not possible. I was just looking for any info saying otherwise but its a bit hard on the phone app to scroll through everything. I'll just wait until someone gets the root working and then unroot via s-on ,ruu back to stock 3.29 and dl the ota via HTC software update. Thanks for the time.

just got this working about an hr ago so give it a shot

[Q] I'm confused, please help....

Hello everyone, I obviously have a n00b question. I've searched around but can't quite find anything specific enough.
OK, so I bought my Sprint EVO 4G a few months ago used, and only a few days ago realized that it was rooted (I'm a dummy . I do believe I have full root access judging from info on the restore menu. I don't know if I have a stock ROM or if it was flashed. I don't see anything obvious, but then again this is the only EVO I've messed with.
Here's my phone info: Android version: 2.2 / Baseband: 2.15.00.11.19 / Kernel: 2.6.32.17gee557fd HTC-kernel"at symbol"and18-2#15 / Build Number OMJ's 4.5 / Software Number: 3.70.651.1
Jeesh, a lot of info, I know, sorry. Anyway, what would I need to do to get the latest software (or ROM - gingerbread?) and keep full functionality such as wifi, 3g, 4g, tethering (i have wifi tether) etc? I'm not even sure what I could be missing now, I haven't had a chance to try 4g.
I would like to stay rooted and be able to tweak. I don't know if the phone has ever had an actual sprint update or not. I don't know what root technique was used or anything. I'm lost.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work.
Dan.

Do this: Battery pull then hold your volume down button and power button until a white screen comes up then tell me what it says there.

Looks like you're running OMJ's rom. Google "Evo OMJ Rom" and you'll see what i mean.

Yeah omj is a rooted ROM so your on a costume ROM ,to check if you have full root (s-off) go to your bootloader by either hold down power and when the menu pops up you might have the option to reboot to bootloader or download an app you can use quick boot or turn the phone off and turn it back on by holding volume down and power then look at the top and see if it says s-on or s-off . If your s-off you have full root .
Then just read up on flashing ROMs and mods check out the developer section for ROMs

Ok, I checked and it says s-off. That's cool. Do I need to do anything special since I have 2.2 or can I flash right to a gingerbread Rom? I've read conflicting stories. Thanks everyone.

It all depends on the ROM and there are steps you need to take before flashing anything like making a nandroid backup and proper wiping so make sure to read as much as you can if you need help with anything you can PM me.

if you're rooted and have the CWM or TWRP recovery installed, get the updated ATT, stock, rooted ROM from the development forum, flash to your phone and you're done.

Plus you cant update if rooted. Use that same app to unroot and try updating again. Also put ur time n date a day or two ahead before trying to manual update. And I agree you should have asked the question in one of those "other" threads or in the right section "Q&A"

You can update with root as long as you have the stock recovery. The update is 100% going to break root, but that's not hard to fix. Recovery is the important part.

What you didnt pick up on is your post is painful to read. Just like other posts you've made, you appear to ignore any sense of punctuation or structure.
This isn't texting ims to your homeboys. If you honestly want help, attempt some proper spelling and punctuation.

PC meaning Windows PC, or PC meaning computer period? I've used heimdall with success if you're lacking windows.
If you don't have a computer, a quick Google search says you're screwed. There is a thread on the international section, but you can't use the files linked there. (unless you like hard bricked devices)
Your best bet is to borrow someone's PC for 20 minutes and install a one-click rooted ROM. Don't forget to download the drivers first.

If you just need to root try exnyos abuse. I'll look for the link

Exynos Abuse will not work on FL24.

You're right i thought it wasn't fixed until the jb builds.

Nope. That's the main reason the pushed an OTA update to FL24 from FI27.

Well fart sniffers, i didn't think there was a way and ya, i had already tried exynos before this thread with no luck... O well thought I'd ask.. Thanks everyone who posted

Get your PC up already, your creating a strain in the brain.
Lol.

What you can do is download with your phone an original Rooted OTA of FI27 make sure it goes to your external SD card. Rename that zip file to "update' and make sure you keep the .zip extension and then boot into recovery. Go to install update from SD card and go through the steps. It will install the full FI27 ROM with stock recovery. It will be rooted. Then you can go to the play store and get an app called OTA Root Keeper. Use that to keep your root while you update back to FL24 and then restore root with the same app. No computer needed. Also, you can use a fully stock no root OTA of FI24 and then use exynos abuse to root with.
As always, make sure you back up all the crap you want to keep.

Or you can get a full OTA FL24 zip file that is rooted and then do what I said before in reference to downloading it on your phone, making sure it is on your external sd card, re-naming to 'update' and then going into recovery to flash it.

I can't find any ota zip that are rooted, do you have a link?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

It should be either in the stickies of the general or the development section. You can flash as is in odin without a name change.

This might help. http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.php?dir=Files/Devices/Samsung Galaxy S2 (Sprint) (SPH-D710)/
I suggest reading the stickies in the general and development threads before proceeding with any flash though. Just so you are familiar with any and all things well... Most things. If you have any questions, please do ask. I may not be able to answer, but there are many who can.
Oh... Grab mobile odin. Either through here or the market. Preferably the the market. Yeah it's a paid app, but it's worth it.
In the link, grab the ota/stock ROM you want in the '.gz' format. You will need to extract the file inside it to flash through mobile odin. It will not flash the modem. You can grab the modem from The website I linked though. Make sure you have at least 50% battery or it won't flash and your phone will just reboot.

In your case just grab a one click from the website I previously linked. They are in the 'exe' format. You will need to be in download mode to use the one clicks. Read the stickies for more info on those.

Rooting GS3

So I know how to root the device, I'm just having a few problems. First, my laptop isnt recognizing my phone in download mode. Is there a driver I need to install for the phone? Second, odin isnt opening on my laptop either. It has worked many many times before but right now when I open it, it shows this box that says "odin (little boxes next to it)" and an "okay" button. Once I click the "okay" button" It quickly opens and closes odin not allowing me to do anything.
Can someone help me out a little?

Try drivers and Odin from my signature.

It said i had those drivers installed already, but I did them again anyway. And those are the 2 versions of odin I've always used, but I'm going to download yours and try them also. Thanks, and I'll let you know if they work.
Odin is acting the same way as mine did. I'm pretty sure somethings up with my laptop. I'll try restarting it or playing with its settings to see whats going on.

He you tried all the usb ports? I know it sounds stupid but my phone is only recognized on 1 out of 3 usb ports on my desktop.
My ipod and other things work on all usb ports but my phone only gets recognized on one.

TRY THIS...
Try to uninstall to the drivers and reinstall them, then get the latest ODIN for the s3. And try to root. If that doesnt work. Use a different computer like your friends. .

I noticed your ROMs are huge. I downloaded universeS4 and its almost 1GB? thats crazy the biggest rom ive ever used was 185mb. Anyway, any other Roms you guys recommend i try? I'm looking for TW at the moment so no Cyanogen roms. And what kind of tweaks and mods are there to look for in a ROM? i need something similar to voodoo sound.

Thanks, I seen it. There is so many things.
I'm mostly interested in sound volume hacks and mods. I flashed univers4 ROM and it comes with the ACID thing for sound but I dont really know whats it doing. I'm used to having voodoo sound which is enabled from the kernel. Is there any mods that actually allow you to override the system settings for at least headphone volume? I want my phone as loud as can be lol.
