OTA yes or no..........?

ok just a simple question.......Can we apply the OTA update from HTC or not?
I am not ready to root yet but also do not want the ability taken away, I know that people are reporting that the unrevoked method still works but is this really where the rooting method is going to stay since it seems to me its really not complete yet.
I could be missing something so please let me know what you think as coming from the Hero I am a bit confused

wow, not 1 opinion.........this is weird for this forum

There is already answers in this very forum page, you didn't even looked once before posting the question. Yes, you can do the OTA Update.

man oh man, I post a question in Q&A, and this guy wants to talk trash on his second post since 09' you are truly an asset to this community

If you do update you are going to want to get ready to install atk to kill the calendar app. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695515
I did not use the phone pre update so I have to say the update is actually good beyond the calendar issue. The other sprint bloatware that people are saying are running and draining battery aren't running on their own in the ota.

He is trying to help....We dont need multiple threads with the same questions. Please use the search function.
I would think that a member with your number of posts would know to do so without being asked.

No problem with the Calendar here and I updated, it is something else that is causing the problem. Are you guys that are having that problem rooted?

Many can, but for best purposes, why? You can have a lovely rooted, stock version that I believe they just updated. Otherwise look at qbking's vidoes on Odin/Heimdall to stock. No real reason to, unless you plan to sell or repair it.

When was this update?
And lately i havent been receiving any texts and was worried that it may have something to do with being rooted? idk..
and i know nothing about rooting/unrooting so when the day comes and i have to use my warrenty, id like to know how to unroot it.

Check the dev section, but not receiving texts may be an issue way easier than going back to stock. Also, be sure to state anything you've played with that makes you think it could be attached to s/u status. Lots of people will be happy to walk you through a variety of things that won't make you lose all your data.

honestly i love the whole rooted idea. I rooted my phone to use a screenshot app..but i feel like i can do more with it...the thing is..idk how. I wish i can get themes on my phone but everything seems so complicated. I probably wont unroot now...but since we're both here, any ideas on how to add themes to my phone? and maybe even reset to the default theme.

Did you flash a Rom after you rooted? What instructions did you go by? Be aware, it's 12:33 here and your questions may get differred to everyone else until morning. If you're on certain main Roms, you might be able to easily flash to either a new Rom or theme with little effort. This is where it can get tricky though and retracing your steps out loud will help people walk you to what you need until you get more acclimated to searching and "shopping" for what you what in here. remember your thanks, donations and verbal support, people like to help here

i did nothing after rooting. All i did was use 1 click root and enjoy the apps. I also know nothing about ROM or any other terms :/

Here is a link with instructions on how to unroot:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773032
but I don't think you should. There are plenty of good roms that you can use to make your phone better than a stock phone.

Nothing is complicated about putting ROMs or Themes on your phone Its developing them that is Complicated!
Follow the link in my sig to qbkings videos and you will be wondering why you thought it was complicated to begin with!
And here is a good link to read about all the terms and what not that you have no idea about

As long as you have a backup of your data on your card, your phone will live on as it did when you last clicked the wrong button. Bricking is everyone's biggest fear, but mostly because it's an inconvenience not a sentence.

The Root is right. The word "brick" is used too much. I can only remember a couple of people actually bricking a phone thus making it useless. 95% of the problems can be fixed with Odin. I didn't know a damn thing 6 months ago. I had to Google "rooting your phone." Now I test ROMs,themes, and kernels for developers. I could never go back to stock now. Rooting really frees the phone to make it your own. Flashing ROM's, themes, and kernels is easy and if you have any questions, there are people like me that are glad to help. Also, qbking makes great videos if you are a visual learner or want to see the process before you do it.

I agree with JohnCorleone, there have been many times where I thought I had bricked my phone, but there is usually a way to fix any problem. This site is great for finding out answers to your questions. And if you need help with a rom or rooting you can PM me. I'll try to help if I can.

Yeah I actaully bricked.... from vision kernel it sucked but I got a new phone for free haha

[Q] Can't access CWD

So I phoned my mother telling her she was right and that I was special...
Anywho.
I have Syndicate ROM Frozen 1.2 on my Epic. Well, I took out the battery because I thought my phone had frozen a while back and now I can't see the boot logo, but once it's done turning on all I had to do is to slide out the keyboard and the phone shows the home screen and all is well. Well because of this "blackout" during inital boot, I can't access CWD since I can't see the options (I want to install a theme). The closest related thing I did find was here, but it's solved in a way that I currently can't afford (that's right, I'm poor). So the question is:
What can I do to try and fix this?
Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

Best bet would be to Odin or Heimdall in stock and start from there. Sounds like either the param.ifs or bootloaders are damaged. The 2nd post tells you about Heimdall and doing just param.ifs, boot.bin and sbl.bin if you choose:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052813
But not knowing what else is damaged maybe a full Odin tar would be best.

Awesome, thank you. It did the trick

Boot Looping Problems

First of all, I know I am in the general section when I should be posting in the thread of the current rom I am running. But the forum will not let me, it says I have an insufficient post count to post in a development section which is where thread is located. (I think this is a pretty stupid rule, especially when a person like me who lurks these forums and uses it to find roms to use, and when that lurker needs to find help they cannot post in the appropriate section ; end rant).
Anyway, onto the boot loop problem. My current phone setup is : ParanoidAndroid 1.9.7 for the ROM and Trinity kerenl with 1344Ghz cpu clock and 304Ghz gpu clock.
What is happening is a boot loop at the Google screen. The first time this happened, my on screen navigation keys disappeared and when I tried to reboot my phone it boot looped. To fix it i had to do a clean install (I still have access to recovery when this happens). That was about 4 or 5 days ago, and I was fine up until now. This time the navigation keys didn't disappear, it was just a normal reboot that I did because when i plugged my phone in for the night it didn't display that it was charging, this is a normal thing for me and all it takes is a reboot and it will display charging status. Except this time when I went to reboot it, it boot looped at the Google screen again. I heard that a dirty flash of the rom may help, but I am not sure about this, and I don't want to screw my phone up anymore than it is, other than that I am pretty stuck as far what to do to fix the problem goes.
If more information is needed or if my explanation is unclear just post.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I was actually downloading 1.99 as I was typing that, and I was not aware of a fix for 1.97. What was the fix exactly? If it was for a boot loop problem I will feel like a total moron and sorry for wasting everyone's time.
Its CDMA.
