Hi,
Does anyone know whether the 2/9 MT3G update pushed by TMO to improve call quality messes with root or SPL?
I thought I could not receive OTAs with my custom TheOfficial ROM by enomther, but I did...
Any info appreciated.
Thx, rev
I did not know you could either. Are you sure it's rooted? Which rom are you running?

Yup, I am sure I am rooted. Running enom's TheOfficial TMO US Donut 1.6. Turns out the OTA install failed due to signing issues. This does make sense and we need to wait for the OTA to be re-signed for root users using the testkeys. While the OTA install failed, at least the nag screens are gone now.

Can I by not going through all the other firmwares?
yes rename it to update.zip and home+power and alt+s
A related question: it may be too early but has anyone tried going from the OTA 1.5 to RC29? Any reason why that wouldn't work?

People have been upgrading and downgrading since the birth of time , there are no issues when it comes to this, im assuming by RC29 your wanting to unroot??

That's really what I'm getting at, like say a person gets the OTA 1.5 and wants to root it. They would have the stock SPL. I don't think the stock SPL is a problem as I was running the lucid JF1.42 for a while and just loaded the hard SPL recently before I upgraded to the JF1.5 ADP. Just wondering if new customers and/or unrooted 1.5's will still be able to root their phones by flashing to RC29.
I know some people have unrooted their phones and loaded the OTA 1.5 just to check it out. No one has said if they were able to revert it back to a rooted build yet.

I'm thinking ahead when most owners will have the OTA 1.5, wondering if they'll still be able to root by flashing to RC29.

I have to agree. Shouldn't be a problem to upgrade or downgrade no matter what build its on.

The only thing I can think of is the radio. I know it was causing some problems with one of the SPL's, and reflashing to RC29 has nothing to do with that. But I also read that reverting back to the old radio had caused problems, and I don't know if RC29 will boot with the new radio. This is assuming RC29 doesn't have a radio update of its own, I honestly don't know.
Yes you can. I had the RC33 and updated to the CRB17 the UK1.5 cupcake.
I lost myfaves and amazon. I gained a program called "web n walk"(T-Mobile's UK mobile store). Well, after that I received the 1.5 OTA CRB43 update I didn't get myfaves back or amazon. So...I downgraded to the RC29 then to a file called RC29 to RC33 update, finally to the US 1.5 CRB43. Now everything is the way it should be. No problem with the downgrade to RC29. From what I understand if you can get to RC29, everything from there is as it was.
Here's the link. It's about half way down the page in blue.

If you have UK 1.5 and want to update to US 1.5,
you can simply install US 1.5.
No inbetween steps required!

I was able to revert back. I my phone was rooted and before jf made the us 1.5 rom I went back to original spl and rc29 just to install the US Tmo OTA update. And earlier this morning I just went back to rc29 to reroot so I could update to jf's 1.51us.
I didn't go straight from rc29, I at least flashed JF's rc33 before going to JF's 1.51-US.

Yes you are correct... but you get the US cupcake with the UK web n walk and no amazon. The other needs to be done to change it all back.

Whats the point of rooting? (i don't tether)
When will telus htc hero 2.1 rooted be released?
Will the rooted 2.1 be as stable as htc?
I used to have my hero rooted, but then did nandroid and brought it back to normal. However, i forgot to get rid of everything completely. Therefore, i have the system boot thing still left which stops me from updating. I get this error
E:No signature (218 files)
E:Verification failed
Installation aborted
That said, how do i bring everything as it used to be when i got it? ANy great risk of phone bricking?
You can unroot completey using an ruu.
The rooted 2.1 Roms are just as stable as the HTC ones as they just have one extra file in to make it rooted.
IF YOU FLASH THE OFFICIAL HTC 2.1 YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ROOT EVER AGAIN!

That's incorrect. You might not be able to root the official 2.1 EU now (as its not released) but the other release of 2.1 to china or where has already been rooted, they will never be able to make a root proof phone.
I'm running Fresh 0.5.3. If I understand correctly, it is working off of the version of code that does not include the latest OTA update.
So that means that my OS is kind of out of date, right? And since none of the rooted ROMs really have access to the latest OTA, then they are kind of out of date, right?
This is not meant to be a troll thread. Honest question from a n00b.
Not all of us are running Fresh.
My phone is rooted, and up to date.
^^ Which ROM incorporates the latest OTA?

The rooted latest OTA rom, i would give u the link but it's on the wiki which is down
I don't understand, I guess. I know that you can root your phone and install a custom ROM. You can root it whether or not your phone initially had the OTA applied or not. Once it is rooted, your have a finite number of choices. There is Fresh, DamageControl, whatever. But I thought that none of these had the OTA applied to their code? Since HTC hasn't released it. Am I wrong?
If so, could you please, even though I know it's annoying of me to ask, point me in the direction of the ROM that you are using?
Thanks.

I use the whitslack stock rom. Only real diff between mine and Sprint, is I have custom recovery & SU.
If you're running Fresh now just wait a little bit. Version 4 is about to be released according to Filpz' tweets.
most are based on the latest OTA, im runing OMJ 1.6
Would version 4 be going one step back since fresh is on version .53 I thought version 4 got skipped

I rooted my phone a while back using the Unlockr guide, but decided I just wanted to go back to unrooted for whatever reason.
I doubt I'm able to get any updates OTA now, though. Is there a way to get my Legend back to just vanilla stock, as if it were delivered to me straight from HTC themselves?
Thanks,
Steve
Whether or not you are able to get OTA updates depends on the ROM you are running. If you check for OTA updates through ROM Manager on a stock ROM it will tell you the ROM doesn't support OTA for example (in most cases).
Going back to a stock ROM is easy. Get a hold of one and just run the RUU with your device connected to USB and everything will go smooth.
Hmm... just tried the RUU.
I kept getting a USB 171 error :-(
Ah, okay, managed to flash the 1.31.405.5 ROM from the RUU... but why can't my phone see any updates to the 2.03 ROM version, at least? :-\

There is no available OTA update path from 1.31.405.5. You could just flash the 2.03.405.3 WWE RUU from here...
Oh, really?
Why's that then :-\
Anyway, RUU'd to 2.03. Everything is fine again
Thanks

I believe HTC pulled the original OTA update from 1.31.405.5 to 2.05.405.2 as it caused numerous problems... This was before I had a Legend, but there is currently no way to get to 2.05.405.2 at all - so they must have pulled it for a reason! Not sure when the 2.03.405.3 RUU was made available, but I'm also running that one - no idea why there is no OTA for it
Really not sure which WWE ROMS are going to get OTA updates at this point - many people never got an OTA update from 1.31.405.5 because they didn't release 2.05.405.2 everywhere. So we've got many unbranded users all over the world - some are on 1.31.405.5, some on 2.03.405.3 and some on 2.05.405.2
ii want to unroot my htc wildfire. I want to unroot it using a Debranded RUU.
however, when i try using an unbranded RUU i recieve an error
ERROR [131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR
my phone was originally on 3g.
is thier a way i can unroot the device and have it debranded?
thnks
What version of Android has it got? Also use Unrevoked 3 first!
Its currently Rooted and has a custom rom on it 2.2.1.
i thought you have to revoke it when you want to root the phone?

Oops! Misread your question, thought you said root not unroot!
Do you know what radio it had originally? You should be able to find one on the shipped ROMS site.
Sorry
EDIT: By the way, did you make a goldcard? Did it decline it?
i dont remember what radio it had on thier. However, i updated the radio from a link i seen on the Wildpuzzle rom thread.
it oringnally had 3 software on there.
i want to unroot it with debranded firmware.
ive tried this
RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.1_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.3
1_release_142189_signed.exe...
and im recieving the error mentioned above
thnk
I assume you have looked here? http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Buzz
Hi, yes thats were i downloaded the firmware.
but im recieving errors when using the update
Do you want Froyo? If you do then this "should" work. HERE
You will NOT be able to re-root on that ROM.
Or if you don't want it then try this Eclair ROM HERE
Give them a try and tell me what happens!
Hope that helps you
Hi, i want to reroot in the future so i wont go for the froyo update.
just to be sure, if i update using the eclair update will i be able to still root in the future?
im still recieving the same error it goes all the way to writing signiture and then just shows the error.

Really sorry, I don't know what it is if that didn't work
I'm assuming the 3 you're on is 3UK? You could try to install it as a gold card if you know how.
