I just had version 2.5.0.1 installed. Then I purchased and installed ROM Manager Premium. It downgraded me to 2.0.2.1.
Why isn't this the latest version? And what will happen if I just re-flash back to 2.5.0.1? Will ROM Manager have a fit? Or will it just display the new re-flashed version?
Resolved: I just used ROM Manager to upgrade back to 2.5.0.1. Piece of cake...I think I like this program!

How did you do this? I just used the Unrevoked 3 on my already rooted phone but it still shows me at the old 2.0.2.1

Rom manager can't flash a recovery.

Unrevoked 3.1 was released today, which includes version 2.5.0.1. You can always download the new version and reflash.

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

There will be custom roms with the updates long before a ota one

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.

[Q] Possible to flash CMW after OTA GB update?

Is it possible to flash Clockwork Mod Recovery after applying the 2.3.4 update?

Yes if you have s-off

How about for us people with s-off and stock 2.3.4? Are we stuck on this ROM until someone gets root?

I believe that they are working on a way to break 2.3.4 still. I haven't noticed any post confirming a successful root of the OTA update.
There has been some talk about gingerbreak doing something but it was experimental and I didn't do a whole lot of digging so I wouldn't recommend even trying.

Does anyone know if there's an updated guide to downgrading? I think the links (like to download the JAVA JDK) needs to be updated. I've spent hours reading and trying to find exactly what I need to download. I've tried installing 3 different JDK and none of them will let me install the Android SDK.
Edit: I found a fix to my problem. The Android SDK wasn't detecting JDK, all I had to do was click back then next, WTF...

[Q] Latest OTA Update

I have a question, will renaming the latest OTA update (24 MB) to PD15IMG be able to install through hboot?

If it is the original file released by tmobile (read: not modified/altered), it will work on a factory stock phone.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

My phone is rooted, clockwork recovery gives me an error (status 7) with file verification disabled. The file was downloaded to the /cache folder and moved to the sdcard root folder and renamed to update.zip. I was just wondering if naming it to PD15IMG.zip would actually make a difference or just would not even load.

PD15IMG.ZIP files should only be flashed in bootloader. Don't try and flash it in recovery. It won't work.

Do you know what the update file is called?
I loaned my phone to my wife for the day as she wanted to try it out, and she thought she would be helpful by downloading the update. She handed the phone back to me with the error screen - panicked for a moment...
Anyway, the stupid notification won't go away, and I'd love to go in and delete the update file so I can get rid of the notification, but I don't know what the filename is.
On a side note, why is my phone getting an OTA update anyway? I thought rooted phones didn't receive OTA updates?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium

The file is in /cache and has a filename OTA_GLACIER_TMOUS... can't remember the rest of the filename. What I did was just choose the ”discard” option and the phone deleted the file and no more notification. I think we get the option to update since we are using a stock rooted rom and not a custom one.

That makes sense. Thanks.
Now to look for a rooted stock rom with the update built in....
What can I say? I like stock, I just hate bloat.

There is a stock, rooted, debloated ROM in the dev section. Its a ways down, but its there.

Actually, I'm looking for just rooted stock with the update, untouched.
Bloat is open to interpretation.
Thanks though, I'll take a look and see what's available.
I'd actually consider cm in the long run, but I'm waiting for confirmation one way our the other for ICS before I make a decision.

Here is one with the latest update that is rooted. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20156306. Remember you have to be rooted already and create a backup to restore your settings afterwards.

Thanks. I have that file and and can see radio.img in it, but I am not sure how to tell what version it is. I was unable to open the img file using yaffey like I could with the main system.img file.
Any suggestions?

It's 7.15.35.16.
