Yes, OTAs will soft brick your phone if you've removed system apps. Either freeze them rather than deleting them, then unfreeze before you update, or you can use FlashTool to update

Just uninstall anything you want (personally I've got rid of loads) then when the update comes, flash one of the ft files ( u can get them on here) and update... then wait for root lol dunno if we will have it for ics?

As far as i know, if you remove system apps and try to OTA, it will not soft brick your phone, but the update will fail, i think it's only devices with officialy unlocked bootloaders that get bricked (I may be wrong though so don't take my word for it).
I think you can update with SEUS after removing System apps though. And like that other chap says, you can just take a backup of the apps you remove, and push them back to system before you OTA.

Hello people, I have read this thread and I also have r800i with 2.3.4, just brought recently and am new to rooting. I would like to root and was just wondering is there a step by step guide how to do this using super one click and a link for where to download super one click, or the other method mentioned? Kernel is 2.6.32.9 perf build is 4.0.2.A.0.42 if thats any good to know. Thank you in advance.
Enable USB debugging (settings - application- development and then tick USB debugging box), then press home, plug in to USB to pc, and click "root" on the super one click... wait a min and done!! Hope I helped .
If you need help feel free to pm

I think you can not root without a computer (because of all the ODIN stuff), but I guess ROMs can be installed using ROM manager. But using clockworkmod recovery seems easier.
You can't root without PC. Odin is the only way, my adhd girl can do this!

trolling?? or... just plain... nevermind
Rooting without a computer is the DUMBEST idea in the entire world. IF you screw up your phone, like most n00bs these days do, you will have NO WAY to recover your device without sending it in... not to mention no way to read XDA to discover what went wrong.

No need to install CWM from PC.
For this method you have to download 2 files (CWM.zip & SU-Busybox-Installer.zip) to you phone and you are ready to go.

This is to give root access, but to gain the abilty to flash SU to gain root access, you need ODIN and a PC. On the T989, it the only way to flash CWM. To summarize, SU is the saddle, but whats really important is the horse, CWM

Yeah thats right, even you can get a horse without PC. There is app called mobile odin which makes this possible. You can flash firmware with cwm using that, mobile odin requires rooted phone, which we did using prev posts.
I have su access with cwm installed on my phone without imcrease in flash counter and yellow exclaimation at boot.
I am planning to install good rom on this. Once I do it successfully I will try to put small tut on it.

Isn't half the point of the ROM Manager app to install a custom recovery? If you have root access, you can flash CWM through it. It's literally the first action listed when you open it.

If you backup everything with titanium backup you lose nothing.... Be sure to save your contacts in your SIM.

Well doom kernel from what I have herd is about the best GB kernel but I may be wrong... it also has pretty simple step by step that you can follow and lupus GB is also pretty good but when you flash make sure that they are for GINGERBREAD devices not ICS or JB.
