I hope you take the update and lose the ability to root forever.
You could just be patient and wait for someone to post a rooted version only hours after release.

In real companies, the network guys don't work 9-5. 12:01am they should have had it up.

currently rooted via unrevoked forever and running build 3.29.651.5 htc stock.
Possible for my setup to OTA update or would I have to wait for a stock htc build on xda? I thought unrevoked forever made sure you were rooted/able to root for good.

Wait until someone has it posted then flash it... or see what happens when everyone else does it. You may remain s-off, but lose root - I know, weird. In that case I'd think it would be easiest to flash a recovery and then flash the rooted version anyway, so just wait.

That should help you out, if you haven't seen it already. I may or may not hold off on the OTA because it may help with the Droid X rooting efforts. Chances are I'll get it though :-/
This is my first android phone so I'm just wondering...what's the procedure for an OTA update? Will the Droid X automatically prompt us when it becomes available or is there a manual action required?

automatic, so yes something will prompt you and if you don't click for it yourself in 3 minutes is the time frame i believe, it will automatically just do it. it will restart your phone after it downloads and then install and start up again.

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.

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

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.

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.

Hi there, RFS is the stock file system that comes on the Epic from the Manufacturer... the other file system is called ext4 which is a faster than RFS is. QBKing77 has made some amazing videos that are step by step and easy to follow....

So I've been talking to someone from yeaterday (the past) for the last 2 hours o.0 lol time is weird and im off topic and its late...... 2:13am here in NC
Great Im now updated to EF02 w/ EF10 Modem, I rooted and also applied the SU.zip all good.
I just got really confused, lol, thought I was originally doing the right thing going to the Wiki link and went to Official ROMs to do the update. Then got extremely lost what to do.
Doing this update tonight to EF02 was just as easy as In the past going to DI18 to EC05. Kinda wish every method was this easy. It seems there are more advanced methods and Im totally clueless about Linux.
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.
Will there be any issues when this comes to achieving root? The last ota i got totally screwed me. Can anyone confirm whether or not this will inpead root ability?

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.
