[Q] about unrooting - Wildfire General

will updating OTA from a rooted phone will unroot my phone automatically ?if yes will it delete everything ?
now i have stock 2.1 update 1 and root

If flashing v2.2 RUU will unroot your phone.
Be aware that 2.2 can not be rooted, so this will be a one way ticket. Ofcorse unrevoked is working to root 2.2 also.

So IF this 2.1 update ever comes...

Will I lose root by installing it? At the moment I have RA-Hero 1.6.2 and the rooted HTC 1.5 ROM
Yes, you must wait for someone who root it so don't update but you can flash some roms like VillainRoms or Cronos or Modaco which are based on the 2.1 update !

Unroot for official or install a copy from the dev threads

Short answer; no. You don't need to unroot to update OTA if you're running a stock build. The update will cause you to loose root though.
Just to clarify for the sake of caution, I installed the leaked 2.2 update. Can I install the official build OTA or do I need to read up on Odin and manually update it? Thanks.

From what I've read, in order to flash the ota you have to have the stock recovery, so your options are to odin the modem and flash one of the roms through cwm -or- odin the entire .tar and then run the one-click-root.

Thanks. But I can use the one-click-root to root my phone again, right?

you could and it will work but why go through the extra work ??
use odin to update the modem (very easy) then go grab the ACS DK28 ROM. it's already rooted for you and it can be flashed via Clockwork .. very easy to do IMO.

[Q] How to go back to S-ON?

Hi everyone,
I have a htc desire z and have it perm rooted and S-OFF.
Now i want to go back to stock with my Nandroid backup i've made before flashing other roms.
I can go back to my nadroid backup but then i want to update my stock rom with the update that came out some time ago. But for that you have to Unroot and S-On again... HOWWWWW CAN I DO THIS???
Which update do you want to apply to the stock ROM ? You don't have to unroot and S-ON to apply an OTA update, and currently all the known OTAs are rootable (you will lose root but keep S-OFF if you got it via gfree).

Well, i was trying to install the OTA update but it didn't work.
Couldn't install the update.
So i thought it was becouse the S-OFF...

If you have custom recovery (CWM) then I think the OTA won't work. But you can always just flash the stock recovery back on (e.g. via fastboot or flash_image) then you should be ok.
Or you can just flash the 1.72 ROM complete, though you will lose all your data/settings.
Sent from my HTC Desire Z
So... if i flash stock nandroid back.. and uninstall custom recovery what is ROM manager i guess, i can update stock with the OTA update?
Or how do i get rid of the cwm otherwise?
Sorry if i'm asking stupid questions thnxx for your help!

Yeah just flash the stock recovery back on via fastboot or flash_image, then you should be able to apply the OTA, assuming you haven't done other stuff that might break the update (e.g. removing stock apps).

Ok, i'm gonna try it now. First uninstall rom manager and then try then ota update.
But i'll loose my root you're saying... is it rootable again for now? Couse i understand that otherwise i can't flash another rom for a while...?

The 1.72 DZ OTA ? Yes, that is rootable via the psneuter method now, it's just you cannot use gfree to get S-OFF at 1.72, that's why a downgrade may be necessary for some (i.e. if you are at 1.72 and S-ON).

similar question here. I didn't made a backup for the stock recovery module. If so how can i restore the stock recovery? Are there any available on xda?

Root Official Desire HD 2.3.3?

Is it possible to root the official Desire HD OTA build?
Im almost certain that it isnt. If you want to root your phone you will need to downgrade first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003

Hi.
I just installed the official update by RUU and didn't wait for the OTA.
My phone was rooted and S-off. After the install I installed gingerbreak and my phone is rooted again.

And gingerbreak is available here...

[Q] How to downgrade to 2.2

I upgraded my wife's g2 to the official tmobile gingerbread release (used the pre rooted deodexed gingerbread rom) and need to return the phone to tmobile for an exchange. Before the upgrade to gingerbread I rooted and enabled permanent s-off.
1. Will I have any issues just flashing the stock tmobile 2.2 rom through clockwork recovery?
2. Once downgraded will I have to root again to go back and undo the permanent s-off
3. Is there a rooted stock rom available to flash? Want to be able to restore apps + settings while awaiting a replacement?
dig around the forums for an original PC10IMG.zip of the shipped rom and flash that through bootloader
Any issues using the rom in this thread. Looks like its a flashable .zip file.

Can I flash the above rom through the bootloader? Want to make sure I don't brick the phone before I do this.

Hi !
You can not downgrade at all because the install of an older PC10IMG.zip will give you a "main version too old" error.
Normally you solve this by using misc_version to change the main version string in the misc partition.
But to do this you need (temporary) root access.
All published temp-root methods (rage and it's derivatives like visionary, z4root, ... - psneuter - gingerbreak) have been patched in the official T-Mobile G2 Gingerbread release.
So enough background info for now - This firmware version is not rootable and can not be downgraded (for now).
Have fun - Guhl
Of course we will post and update if the situation changes
I have this gingerbread rom installed. Can anyone confirm that this version cannot be downgraded.

Wait, you got a rooted version of it installed?
If yes, you can use misc_version to set the main version back to a lower or equal value of the rom you want to install and then install the PC10IMG.zip through hboot.

how i thought you need temproot for that
So I flashed the rooted gb rom above through clockwork. Will I brick my phone if I flash the stock rom I linked above through clockwork? Is it really this hard to go back to stock?
I think there is a lot of miscommunication going on here. I think the problem is that users are having a hard time differentiating between the unrootable leak and the rooted leak.
I'm having to send my g2 back also, I'm rooted, s-off'd, and using the rooted version of the tmob gb leak. ive got cwm installed too, should I be able to use the pc10img to completely wipe, set s-on and go back to 2.2?
