Which version of the rooted ota do you have installed?

Or is it more like "was rooted before upgrading"?
Yeah my bad, I waited til they released a rom with the official upgrade, hope that makes sense
If your rooted and just running a rooted "official update" ROM then you can flash whatever you want. As long as you didn't accept the Gingerbread upgrade pushed out from Sprint and still have s-off your good to go.

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 !

Hello, I would like to upgrade to the Hero stock 2.1, but I am rooted from Android 1.5. Is there a way to upgrade to stock 2.1 and stay rooted? Or do I have to upgrade and then re-root?

Well, you can downgrade to 2.1 but you won't downgrade the hboot, so you won't be able to root neither or install another ROM. You will have stock 2.1 unrootable.
Be aware of that.
Essentially, you are now stuck with your official 2.2 update. There is nothing you can do now. (Except maybe find someone with an XTC Clip)
The title pretty much says it all. Once you downgrade to root can you reapply the 8.2.3.13 firmware?

Once you're rooted, you can flash any ROM that has root.
If you update using a non rooted ROM you will loose root.
At this point however if you downgrade to root, flash a 3.1 ROM instead of just going back to .13

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?
