So I don't know if this is the right section if not move it but I need ur help guys i work for tmo, my boss just got an OTA and its 2.2 official I couldn't believe myself but he knows nothing about phones so I know he didn't flash a rom at all how can I pull his rom for the devs to work on it. More importantly would the same root method work for his device?

Same root method [from what I understand], so you are going to root and extract it for the developers on here?

Hold on, I'm gonna go get some popcorn...
Why not keep it quiet and just pm a few of the developers on here? Most will flame any announcement with 2.2.

Can't you just use ROM manager and create a nandroid? Send it to Sombionix.
Try asking team whiskey guys or eugen.

Assuming his boss has the same phone as he does, then we already knew the update was coming.
The Vibrant is a different phone...
Dude you would be surprised people here have no idea what a rom is there trained to help with basic problems he knows.how to use it and what froyo is and that's about it

Quotes are nice; they let us know who you're talking to. Feel like letting us know who that was directed at?
this guy is trollin'
no way he got an OTA on a Vibrant without us knowing anything about it.

Legit or not, this is not a public OTA. Unless you or someone you know is a TMO employee, you're not getting it.
Anyone care to share what it is you are talking about? Sounds like a 2.2 OTA. I wanna be excited too!

Considering it took devs, unrevoked etc about 2 or 3 months to fully root froyo I'd say a while lol.

I don't think so...depends on the update file that htc released. Just do a file comparison from the last ota. I don't think much has changed. Hopefully they do a smaller update than a full ota.

Maybe they'll realize too that they forgot to push out approximately the other 75% of gb on the 6/3 ota....wishfull thinking maybe.

I just got a message just a few momenta ago on my phone to download a update. I didn't take it but wanted to ask, it says it was an update for 2.3 gingerbread and said it was for 4.22.651.1
I'm puzzled because my phone says I'm running 4.22.651.2 and thought I was screwed out of being able to root.
Can any one help me understand this, and let me know if I'm capable of rooting cause I've done my homework and realized that I'm just S.O.L. for now
Or am I?

yeah, you are updated. uncheck the "check for updates" in the settings. If you take it, you will lose root.
I never take any updates ever. Updates are plots to make you hate your phone ie NO ROOT

I've never accept an OTA, but want to. I unrooted to go to Sprint, the phone is being swapped, but would rather have Gingerbread until then. When I check for updates it finds none even though it has 2.2 on it now. Any idea why?

The reason I ask is WHEN they finally find a way to root 2.3.3 I don't want to be kicking myself in the butt for taking the OTA. I don't know if the update has anything that would make it harder for me in the future.
Any thoughts?

No, all they did basically was update the kernel. If you don't take it, your battery is gonna be draining way too fast. There is nothing in 4.24 that isn't in 4.22 as far as being able to root it goes.
Plus if you don't take it you won't be able to use netflix either... I dunno if you use such things lol.
Thanks the info! I'm gonna go download it right now. You've been a great help.

I just got this 2.76.651.5 update OTA and so far it seems to have fixed the Sense UI reloading issue from the last OTA update. Here to hoping it's finally fixed.

I guess it depends on what all was changed, but i have always "thought" any ota closed a exploit, but this one hasnt been found by any dev for them to need to close it, so thats up in the air

I screwed myself by accepting the last OTA update. I'm certainly not accepting this one until know for sure it won't screw me further.
I'm personally not going to take that update atm. Still not happy with my current phone situation anyway... Had an Epic 4G but my fiancee wanted to upgrade from her dated Samsung Moment. So i looked around on Craigs and bought a Shift 4G. She didn't want the shift though, because she got so attached to her game-gripper on the Moment. So I gave her my Epic and took the Shift. Too bad it already had 2.3.3 on it =/
I'm just waiting on a new root exploit and I'm afraid to update anything on this sucker until then lol
I would never accept any OTA update. If root is ever discovered again and it requires the update you can always get it...can't really go back once you have it. On the other hand development for this phone is really slow and I believe root will only be found if it happens to be the same exploit as the newer phones so you may be without it for quite awhile and if the sms/mms issue affects you then you may want to take it. I know it is tempting but think about how it feels not having root just because you wanted the newest update.
