[Q] run ota while rooted

Any consequences other than losing root? I'm not too concerned about getting it right this second since I know these devs at xda will cook somethin nice up in a few days. Just want to know my options. THanks
EDIT: im running dc 3.2.3 (2.1)

It should just flash the new ROM. Yes, you'll lose root and it probably replaces the bootloader so you can't boot into recovery either, but it should be just another stock phone after that.

So I am rooted and go to load up the update and it puts me in the spot with the android guy and the /!\ what gives...

hmmm yup I have the same root method - great I thought it would just write over...

Well we all know by now once your phone is rooted you cannot do any ota, you are much better of waiting a day or two to get the rooted version from one of the dev.

some of us dont care about loosing root, and as far as i knew i could at anytime upgrade to something sprint put out and all that would happen is i would loose root.

I'm pretty pissed...I thought that an OTA would override the unrEVOked 3 since it's not even full root. Now I gotta figure out what to do next. There is another thread here that describes a method to UNROOT. But I'm not sure if it works with UNREVOKED 3

It doesn't matter what you did to root it, you can un-root the same way

I don't want to ruu and erase everything either...

This is my position aswell. Im sure i read pleanty of people saying unrevoked would have no effect on future updates, and the worst that would happen was loosing root.

eventually all the developers will migrate to froyo as a base so you can wait or you can unroot like me and install the OTA with no prob. When I installed the OTA it kinda installed like a regular app...did not go to bootloader or nothing like that. Then it just rebooted into froyo...did not lose anything such as installed apps or user data etc. It's all good eitherway you choose in my opinion. Keep root and wait...Unroot/OTA and wait...it will only be a short time like almost already and full froyo with root is a done deal...

Can you please list your steps for unrooting? I want to add the ota and reroot later.

I had the june update so i was 1.47 but either way this is the program to use...
http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g-roms-hacks/19278-how-unroot-return-stock.html
This in my opinion is the way to go...make sure you use the 1.47 one and you are good to go...then get the OTA FROYO...I did it this way.

I had Unrevoked3 on mine for wifi tethering..and did the manual leaked update (update.zip on sd card etc) and it worked just peachy, if you wanted to go that route. I did lost my root but none of my data (even superusers is still installed lol)
From what I read there isnt much of a difference between the .3 and .6 versions anyway
Maybe if you did that, then waited to see what HTC comes up with for us "early adopters" to get us up to speed lol

[Q] anyone got an update on unrevoked

anyone got an up date on the unrevoked update?
im itching to root
rob

nope still waiting.lol
Im still waiting also. But also know it will be done when its done.. Just sit back and wait it out like the rest of us.. and enjoy what i consider to be the best phone out there atm..

I returned my Incredible after the first week due to this stupid OTA update, and got a new incredible. Rooted it soon as I got home. Screw that update and waiting for a fix!

what did u tell them to get a new one?

First I called tech support and said it rebooted and was force closing. They had me do a factory reset.
Next day I went to store and told them about previous tech support, but told them it hadn't force closed anymore, but it continued to randomly reboot.
The tech guy asked if I had accepted the update, and I stated I had. He immediately said that was the cause of my problems, and swapped out the phone.
He said his girlfriend had an Incredible from day one, and when she accepted the update the other day, it would reboot at least once a day!

Sooo current new dincs can't be rooted yet? I've had mine since day one and rooted. Is there no root for the latest ota? Asking for my friend who just got one.

The NOV OTA can't be rooted yet. The Unrevoked3 tool doesn't work on it yet, they are working on an update for their tool, but no eta yet.
There are instructions to downgrade, use Unrevoked3 to root and install ClockworkMod, then use UnrevokedForever to get S-OFF, update to the OTA, and re-install CWM Recovery and SU to gain root.
Take a look at the discussion in -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=776481&page=13

Check out my thread, its being packed now, confirmed on the unrevoked twitter.

Exactly! It was force closing, but no rebooting More like stretching the truth.

i just got a brand new inc thru insurance (cracked my old one) and i activated it, booted up, and it i know it said 2.2 was installed. i said what the hell, tried to root it, and it worked. it must be an SLCD, becuase i got white bars, so im installing the modded recovery for SLCD now.

Exactly what I did when I got my new one. You just have to do it before you, or a vzw rep, accepts the update right after activating.

that must be why, the update did keep popping up lol. i guess it works on 2.2, but not if you go the Nov OTA. there is a guide to downgrade though so all phones can be rooted currently (not sure about SLCD that got the Nov. OTA though)

Yes all phones can be downgraded even if they are completely stock..you can re-flash signed RUUs no problem from within HBOOT.
This really isn't that big of a deal that everyone is making it out to be, but it would be a "nice" feature once you are able to root the latest OTA directly especially for the very few who just leave their phones completely stock and do nothing but root it.
If you use custom ROMs none of this matters.

Just thought I'd mention that the 3.22 update was just posted on their site.

good to go!

Really wish people would read how to return to stock at the same time they read how to custom ROM their device.
Don't know why you'd ever get so deep into customizing your phone not at all knowing how to go back...

This is why I think my rant should be a sticky.
EDIT: It probably wouldn't matter. Nobody reads stickies anyway.

thanks for all ur replies guys, i managed to do it in the end, i used wugfresh toolkit.
honestly im used to romming and rooting and stuff, with my desire hd, sensation, galaxy s2 so im not an exact newbie.
but this was just at a whole new level looool, i read that this is one of the easiest devices to root and whatnot but it was honestly just mind baffling to get it back to stock.
ive finally gone back to 4.0.1 just like i had out the box but im not recieving the ota to 4.0.2 which i was previously on before i rooted and stuff???
do i just wait??? will it ever show up??? if so how long roughly??
i did manually go to 4.0.4 yesterday but my download speeds were just rubbish, like this morning i used speed test from market and i clocked up 5kbps download speed???
was wondering if anyone in the uk had done the same? and how there device was running after??

are you serious... I've done a G1, N1, some LTE tablet, Wildfire, Sensation and GS2. The nexus phones are the easiest to lock, unlock, stock-ify and what not. sure you might need somme adb codes and fastboot codes, but they're really simple if you put some heart into it. After my sensation and Gal Nex, I've told myself to never get any other phone other than a nexus.

Just manually flash 4.0.2 if that's the version you want. There's images on the official Google website for stock versions of 4.0.1, 4.0.2, and if on GSM, 4.0.4.

about rooting. please help!

hi all I'm trying to root my phone but there is so many different ways to tour. I would like the simplest way to root but I want it to do everything that all rooting software would do. I've come across one click options and would like to do those since I don't have to use my computer. Please help! Thanks

you are so going to get bashed in here for asking that question. The expectation is that everybody reads everything they can and then if they are hung up on something they can post a question. I am a relative noob although I have lurked on this site for a few years. I don't bash anybody though.
I understand your frustration.
I simply flashed a single .tar file to my phone while my phone was in download mode. I felt it was very simple using windows on my Mac. There is the very simple Exynos exploit file somewhere here where you download it and basically install it. I thought that this Exynos installation did something to the camera app.
Hopefully, somebody here will help you determine what is best for you. I really haven't tried many methods of root. I like to stick with one I am familiar with since a lot things might go wrong if not done right.
I am not sure what you mean by having the root method do everything that all rooting software would do. When you root you are just gaining access to portions of your phones files that are locked when you buy it. If you want more 'stuff' then you would flash a custom rom after rooting

Thanks for not bashing me. I'm def a noob and I'm new to the android community. I moved from an iPhone to galaxy n2 so I'm learning as I go. Thanks for your help!

Check out Chainfire's method for rooting. It's very simple, there is even a video instruction going step by step. It took me 5 minutes and I came from an Iphone. Head on over to the Original android development subforum, you'll see it there. Good luck!

Google "exynos abuse" if you have not already taken the ota update.

I used the exynos abuse because I didn't need to use my computer to do it and it worked fine. But once I did the latest OTA update from AT&T, I lost root. So I did the Chainfire method. (See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980644 )
t's really easy and took about 5 min.

You might find a few helpful things on the page I made here.. Samsung Galaxy Note 2 ROMs & Community Links

Just got my Note 2 about 3 weeks ago and haven't ventured into rooting it yet, BUT I did research here on XDA about rooting before doing it to my Galaxy S2 (AT&T) and the one thing I want to mention is to take your time are read to confirm whether or not the procedures you're looking at are for the Note 2 AND for the variant you have. Using the wrong process (rooting, kerneling, installing custom rom) can cause all sorts of problems, so don't be impatient if you don't know what you're doing. And by all means DO A COMPLETE BACKUP before you do any rooting.
That said, when I did root my S2, it was a very easy process...took all of about 15 minutes to backup, root, install custom rom, etc.
Good luck...and let us know how you do!

US Cellular GS3 (SCH-R530U) 4.1.2 Rooting??

Hey everyone,
I have rooted my GS3 prior to US Cellular's update to android 4.1.2, but after the update, every rooting method I have tried has failed. I almost bricked my phone the other day attempting to use a toolkit.... It tripped teh flash counter apparently and my device status was "Modified" instead of normal. I downloaded the Samsung update tool for the USCC GS3, and did a manual update after i discovered that my prior rooting attempt tripped the flash counter, disabled my Wifi, and caused me to be unable to download an OTA update.
The question is this...... what rooting method shoudl I be using for the USCC Galaxy S3, running 4.1.2? I'd love to be able to block ads again....... and I'd like to stay with the base OS if possible (not flashing it atm)'
Thanks in advance!

Questions and help issues go in Q&A

Using that method should would, oldest method and always proves true. Like always, you're responsible for everything.

Tripping the flash counter doesn't matter... I have never had USC reject warranty service, and I don't use any counter reset tools.
Unfortunately, XDA isn't the best place to find support for USC phones... Do a Google search for TeamUSCellular and go there for detailed step by step guides.
Then, look carefully at some of the ROMs here on XDA... Several of the ones that use Aroma support multiple carriers.

No I didn't 'ready' it but I did read it and that post was from a week ago. So I am following up as a lot can happen in 1 week. Either way, TeamUSCellular does not have anything on it at all.

I think you need to look a little closer.
Go to Forum, go to the SG3 Development forum, go to SG3 Guides & Tutorials, then the 5th topic down is what you want (How To Root Jelly Bean LK5 & MB1).
It takes you step by step and even provides links to the files you need.
I just used this last week on a friend phone and it worked fine.
