Good luck but why would you do this? There are currently at least 3 roms already available that are rooted ota (3.29) here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=653
Are you just experimenting to see if you lose root. Just curious.

Yea lol just being a dumbass but fortunately it won't let me so no biggie

Of course it takes away root, but they said unrevoked 3.21 still works.

Berkeley, CA. Unrooted, no update :-(

Being rooted does matter. Most of the Devs change you software version to whatever build their ROM is and this blocks any updates from coming in, a nice safety for people who don't know most updates will break root. So unless you are on the absolutely stock EVO or the absolutely stock rooted EVO chances are you won't see this upgrade.

Just download it, it will save the file on your SD card.

So I'm able to download the OTA IF I want to....but I'm scared I'll lose root, nand, s-off etc. I don't flash roms, just use root for nandroid back ups and tether!
HELP? Any advise?? I rooted using a nightly build of unrEVOked 3 ...worked perfectly.

Sorry..I'm so damn new. Is this something I should download on my sd card and use Rom Manager to install it? Will I have to wipe cache/data/davik etc? If so..do I lose my data?? Uggg!!

Question about root and otas

If im perm rooted and I uninstalled bloatware, remapped genius button when a new ota comes out for the mt4g would it install regularly or what would I have to do?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
im pretty sure you would need to update it manually...ie yourself
dont apply updates from OTA if rooted!
Apply a new rom yourself

It depends... if what you removed needs to be patched by the OTA then no it will not work. If the OTA does not attempt to patch those files it should go through with no problems. The workaround to that is to backup what you remove so you can put it back before the OTA applies or get on a custom rom.

[No PC] One Click Root/Unroot! VISIONary

I found this one click root app and permarooted my epic, try and see if it works for you
Note: Try at your own risk, may send you into bootloop.
People were using that for the evo shift before the perm root came out.

So this works? We have a method for rooting froyo without a pc? Sweet.
zRoot also works on the Epics in the same fashion.

Not for froyo on epic tho, or at least that didn't work for me.
I used superoneclick on a library PC. Worked like a charm.

Is there any trick to getting this to work? How long did it take on the Epic? i've stared at "rooting device, please wait" for 20 minutes now with no luck.

Hmm...no, it took less than 5 secs for me. Restart ur phone and try again. Maybe it will work...
Is this just a temporary kind of root, like w/o cwm and all?

You can permanently root and unroot, just need to flash cwm yourself.

DROID2 Gingerbread Update

Some users report that the OTA update (Android 2.3.3) is live right now.
Check your updates Settings>About phone>System updates and report issues.
It is, got it last night on the wife's D2.
Have they rooted it yet? I need to get titanium backup on there and restore her apps, she's freaking out!
Yes just use droid 3 method

Sadly, this didn't work for me. Has the droid 3 method worked for anyone else?
It didn't work for you? Did you follow the instructions correctly? No one has reported any problems with it so far
Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL running Leaked Rooted Gingerbread!
Had to try it twice, first time didn't recognize it. Worked fine.
Working great for me. I SBF'd back to stock from the gingerbread leak, downloaded and installed the update over wifi in about 10 minutes. Rooted using the D3 method and flashed the latest CM7GB. Working like a boss.

Ran it several times, I see the SU binary in the system/bin directory and busybox, but barnacle and titanium are unable to obtain root.
Well I changed the script from xbin to bin and it seems to work now. Still unable to get Barnacle going, but closer.
That figures. Day after i leave big red and get my g2x, gb goes live for the d2 lol. niiiiice

Depends which app. I use Barnacle, works great still.
I rooted using: http://www.psouza4.com/droid3/

This worked for me to root after the OTA.
How come says its rooted but when I use WiFi tether it says I'm not
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
Go to your app drawer and look for a skull and crossbones Superuser app. Click it and see if you can add wifi tether to the list. If that icon is not there, you're not rooted.
It's there but when I press to turn it on it says I'm not rooted
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
I would run one click root again, if that does not work, SBF back to stock and then re-flash GB OTA and root once more.

Gingerbreak doesn't even list Droid 2 being a supported device.
