first time using this site so i apologize in advance if this question has already been answered. I am currently running leaked build .588 GB and would like to get the new OTA installed without whiping the whole phone.
What would be the best way of installing the latest update without having to lose everything?
Thanks

I already installed a version of "Cupcake" manually. Will I get the update automatica
A: G1 devices that have been manually updated with an early version of Android 1.5 will not receive the Android 1.5 OTA as the device already assumes it has received the software.
T-Mobile does not support manual installations and will not assume responsibility for any device problems or failures as a result.
This was taken from the tmobile forum...
what do we ave to do to get the tmobile update...
Also..if i have JF 1.5 and wan to switch to haruyko's do i need to remove jf 1.5?

Well, since you're rooted you won't receive the OTA update. If you wanted the "OEM" T-mobile update, you would have to "unroot", or the better alternative (IMO) wait for the modified version of the T-Mobile update once it gets done by one of the update guys (JF, Haykuro, Dude, etc...)
If you have JF 1.5 and you want to move to another one, you don't "remove" the ROM, but just flash the other one on, it's recommended to wipe the phone before moving on to the next one.
Very basic stuff here already covered in the update threads, just an FYI.
Thanks again, pardon me for asking such noob q's but with all the activity going on its just really hard to find answers ..plus with all the bricking going on I just wanted to ask directly.
Hello,
So everybody is bummed about not getting the 2.1 update from htc. And also for me waiting untill june is to long. So i've desided to root my Hero and instal the legend-ROM. So far it's clear.
I've done some reading before rooting, so I do not have a question about that. But some hing's are not that clear to me. SO if I root my Hero, i will loose the possibility to accept the OTA update. But is is possible to get the official update anyway, when it comes in June?
And will i lose my rooting indefinitely, or is it possible to get the rooting again after getting the official ROM?
These are the last thing i would like to know before rooting.
Thanks in advance!
You will be able to install the official Rom if not by OTA there will be an RUU on the HTC website.
If you install that you will lose root and chances are never be able to root again.
If you wait like 10 minutes or so after its release there will be pre-rooted version available on this website, so just install one of those.
Awsome! Fast and great reply.
Didn't think of that.
Everyone working on developing here are getting my thanks!
I wil start rooting my hero imidiately!
This is obviously a noob question. I have rooted my vibrant and wonder what happens when Samsung releases 2.1 fixes or better yet when Froyo comes out. Will this process rewrite the ROM and re-rooting will be necessary again ? will this be an automatic download?
as long as you are using the original rom you should be notified for the upgrade. im sure you will have to re root after the upgrade. When they release it, read the forums first about losing root or not.
Not to mention people with rooted phone usually get the fixes/patches/updates before they are released by t-mobile. The modding community is way better than waiting on the official release from the cell phone provider. So you might there is a good chance you will receive updates faster by having a rooted phone.
I've moved this thread to the general section.
Ok
I have spent about an hour searching the threads and am still not sure what to do.
I am running a 32gig unit with build number 4.010.02_com_gen1
I originally rooted then installed cwm. I upgraded with a ROM of the 3.1 upgrade (how I got to 4.010.02..)
I am now getting prompted for an update to 4.010.10 that is 47.69meg
Based on what I am reading, I will either be FINE or the update will fail because I am rooted.
Can anyone tell me the correct process to get up to date. I dont have an issue with loading a custom STOCK rom if there is one one there that will get me to 4.010.10 or even 4.010.13 (?)
Also this is a US version (or at least if was before my custom upgrade to 3.1)
Will I be able to roll back to a cw backup if this goes bad? If that is doable, I am not worried about doing the update and seeing what happens. The tab world seems just a little less safe than the rooted EVO world...or is it just that the thought of a bricked tab scares me more
Thanks for the help
Unrooted my tab and trying to get it back to the latest official version, but I'm having loads of trouble. Please help. Thanks!
My model number is A500, Android version is 3.0.1, kernel version is 2.6.36.3-00001-g44a8bac and build number is Acer_A500_1.145.01_COM_GEN2
This is the tab that best buy had on sale a few weeks/months on sale. Only 8GB of on board storage.
I have found threads with official updates, but don't know which is safe to install. They are all the same version but have different build numbers so I don't know which build number corresponds with my tab
I think I know the answer to this already, but can I jump from 3.0.1 to 3.2.1?
Anyways please help. I do appreciate it.
Thanks!
EDIT: 99 views and no replys? Do you guys not know the answer or are just being jerky? This is seriously my first post let alone question on the acer threads. I usually get things pretty easily, but I am having trouble on this one so it's not like I'm being lazy or asking a stupid question. Can someone help either by providing some answers or let me they don't know how to fix this??
Thanks

Not sure if you're still with us -
interested in knowing why you have not rec'd any OTA before now -unless you've been rooted from the start like i was when i got mine!!!
you also have to be stock, as in factory stock! the update checks a whole lotta stuff before it will install . If the system doesnt stack up the update will fail. So if you have deleted or frozen bloatware apps they will need to be restored, along with modded build props etc. factory data reset and full wipe fixes that problem, but Most people want to keep their data if they can and isn't an option. The update itself should leave everything in place. Mine did.
u need a Gen_2 build. I'm not familiar with your build number or upgrade path for 1.145, but you should receive an OTA for 3.1, 3.2 and the latest 2 for 3.2.1.
if u just wanna install one of the updated custom stock roms with root or cwm, you should be fine with any build and yes you can go straight to 3.2.1 from 3.0.1, but no OTA with these roms

This is a known issue and too many reasons to list. But, basically you are not 100% or it thinks that (checksums different) etc.
So, just flash directly to 3.2.1 GEN2
Mods please close. I was able to fix the issue
I was rooted and had to flash to 3.0.1 or 3.1 before unrooting with the iconia apk. Then I used the acer recovery tool to flash stock recovery. But after flashing stock recovery and unrooting I couldn't get any OTA updates. I re-read some the posts and manually updated to 3.2 after decrypting the zip. After updating I checked for new OTA updates and sure enough found both. Now I'm back to stock 3.2.1. Patiently waiting for ICS
Glad you got it working.
