I already installed a version of "Cupcake" manually. Will I get the update automatica
A: G1 devices that have been manually updated with an early version of Android 1.5 will not receive the Android 1.5 OTA as the device already assumes it has received the software.
T-Mobile does not support manual installations and will not assume responsibility for any device problems or failures as a result.
This was taken from the tmobile forum...
what do we ave to do to get the tmobile update...
Also..if i have JF 1.5 and wan to switch to haruyko's do i need to remove jf 1.5?
tia

Well, since you're rooted you won't receive the OTA update. If you wanted the "OEM" T-mobile update, you would have to "unroot", or the better alternative (IMO) wait for the modified version of the T-Mobile update once it gets done by one of the update guys (JF, Haykuro, Dude, etc...)
If you have JF 1.5 and you want to move to another one, you don't "remove" the ROM, but just flash the other one on, it's recommended to wipe the phone before moving on to the next one.
Very basic stuff here already covered in the update threads, just an FYI.

Thanks again, pardon me for asking such noob q's but with all the activity going on its just really hard to find answers ..plus with all the bricking going on I just wanted to ask directly.

Rooting after U.S Cupcake applied

how do i reroot it after i unrooted then applied the link found of us cupcake 1.5?

i think you should have waited for a rooted version to be released for this very same reason. you can root back to another rooted version via the method you did the first time but you have to wait until someone cracks this version if you want to stay with it.

ix ty for quick reply

Should you do a wipe before updating to the the official OTA cupcake? Or just update.

Confused by the correct order of updates: OTA, Root, Froyo?

I'm sure this is somewhere on the forum but I've made a best effort searching/reading for the past hour, and am now more confused. I rooted my incredible a few weeks ago in order to get the tethering feature to work, and this was before the OTA update from VZN came along. everything works, no complaints.
Since 1) I did not get the OTA update, and 2) I eventually would like Froyo, I have a few questions:
1) Do I need the OTA update?
2) Will I need it in order to get VZN's Froyo update whenever that becomes available?
3) If so, should I wait until that announcement is made?
4) If I unroot and get the OTA, can I simply re-root in order to get the tethering feature back?
5) Would I be able re-root by following the same instructions as when I rooted the first time (unrevoked3)?
6) If I unroot/install OTA update/re-root, how do I get VZN's Froyo when it is released? I assume I would need to un-root again, and then wait for the update?
7) Am I just as well off unrooting/installing OTA update/re-rooting and getting an unofficial version of Froyo? I am in no rush for froyo and do not want to risk messing up the phone for it.
I assume some of these questions are answered on the forums but like I said, the instructions I found on various threads seemed incomplete. Would greatly appreciate answers/links to answers for any of the questions.
Thanks

if your happy with the way the your phone is right now than just wait till the official update comes out.

You'll likely be told the update is available on your phone, but if you want root, you won't want to apply that right away.
Hopefully some magic like Evo update is done for us... the Evo update has already been rooted and pulled apart.

Thanks binny and k_flan... So I'll just wait for VZN. Can I install the VZN update (Froyo) directly or would I have to un-root first? No way to know this I suppose, but will the VZN Froyo allow wireless tether or will I have to pay extra for the feature?

My plan
My plan at this point is to wait for the OTA and then for unrEVOked to see if they can root it. If they can, I will RUU back to a stock rom, and apply the official update. This will guarantee [1] VZW to handle if I brick, and [2] that I am running the real radio and the real 2.2 (instead of the buggy beta which is making the rounds).
If they can't then the decision gets harder. I suspect that my desire for the 2.2 will outweigh my need to still be rooted.
What I know i WONT do is jump through these hoops just to install a beta radio/OS combo. If the radio wasn't at issue, it would be a different story.

np OP. You won't want to install the VZW update, it will likely not work with unrevoked's reflash tool.
I also have to correct what I said earlier, it doesn't appear it is the final build that was rooted for the Evo, but the radio was pulled from the final build and used with a rom.... Either way, it seems they've got the official radio (at least, that's how it looks for now), hopefully that happens for us, and official radio img.

Fair enough. still getting up to speed on terminology.... i assume reflash means un-root - is there any way to reset the phone to be able to get the VZ update/froyo?

[Q] Root + 2.2.1

With the upcoming 2.2.1 update, I was wondering if there was anything that had to be done to my phone before this comes out. I have 2.2 root with wifi and TB installed with some bloatware removed. Do I have to SBF 2.2 to ota without problem? I have asked several android forums with mixed results of SBF back and just update with root and reroot.

For every OTA update it is probably best to SBF back to stock because if things are removed the update could fail.

Is the answer different if you have rooted and themed but NOT removed any of the bloatware? From many posts, most allude to the absence of some functions as the problem. Does root inhibit the OTA update?? TIA.

Hello,just wait or try to find the latest rom on the forum ...

You will not receive the OTA udate on a rooted handset. You will either have to unroot and wait for the 3 software release or download the stock 2.3 rom and install.

can i not just unroot some how and leave it on the stock unbranded to be able to recieve the ota update?

I have just re installed visionary to attempt to unroot my dhd - but it says my device does not appear to be rooted!?!!
maybe i should just install the RUU
does anybody have the link?
cheers

You should instal 1.32 ruu exe then do temp root through visionary. Open the radio s-off tool which you can find somewhere on the forum and you need to do stock cid which is HTC_001 and you'll receive update
Forgot to add that I have a three branded dhd but now it's unbranded
1.32 can find here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824357
radio s-off here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537
and you'll receive update

legend!! cheers mate, its now found the update...
now just hope the install doesnt crash or anything

if you have original recovery and you didn't uninstall any system apps you'll be fine
