Official 2.2

So I don't know if this is the right section if not move it but I need ur help guys i work for tmo, my boss just got an OTA and its 2.2 official I couldn't believe myself but he knows nothing about phones so I know he didn't flash a rom at all how can I pull his rom for the devs to work on it. More importantly would the same root method work for his device?

Same root method [from what I understand], so you are going to root and extract it for the developers on here?

Hold on, I'm gonna go get some popcorn...

Why not keep it quiet and just pm a few of the developers on here? Most will flame any announcement with 2.2.

Can't you just use ROM manager and create a nandroid? Send it to Sombionix.

Try asking team whiskey guys or eugen.

Assuming his boss has the same phone as he does, then we already knew the update was coming.
The Vibrant is a different phone...

Dude you would be surprised people here have no idea what a rom is there trained to help with basic problems he knows.how to use it and what froyo is and that's about it

Quotes are nice; they let us know who you're talking to. Feel like letting us know who that was directed at?

this guy is trollin'
no way he got an OTA on a Vibrant without us knowing anything about it.

Go to www.akaskriller.com try his method.

And he uses I9000.....

Confirming my TMO US able to use as phone and 3g

I don't get why there are all these threads about getting voice calls to work when this method already works
So I installed the apk skype file from this website and install through the my files file manager already installed on the tab!!!

It's so amazing what you developers do with even getting paid! Thanks so much.
Next there will be a way to get incoming calls through landlines.

Obvious troll is obvious.

PS. In the rare case you aren't trolling, skype isn't the same as phone service. You should know this already if you spend any time on this site.

The deal was to use the phone on the cellular network rather than the internet.

System update

I just got a message just a few momenta ago on my phone to download a update. I didn't take it but wanted to ask, it says it was an update for 2.3 gingerbread and said it was for 4.22.651.1
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
Or am I?

yeah, you are updated. uncheck the "check for updates" in the settings. If you take it, you will lose root.

I never take any updates ever. Updates are plots to make you hate your phone ie NO ROOT

Can't stress this enough so I'll say it again. If you are rooted never ever take any OTA updates.. Ever!

I'm not rooted and I didn't take it.

Yeah, thats what it is for. I am looking at it right now.
Quick question, if I am already on the previous OTA Update without root, I might as well update right?

Why not? You going to stay on the same version forever?

I was rooted and accepted the ota... And I'm still rooted. Just flash recovery and then superuser and you'll be set.
Sent from my OTA accepted, fully rooted EVO.

I've never accept an OTA, but want to. I unrooted to go to Sprint, the phone is being swapped, but would rather have Gingerbread until then. When I check for updates it finds none even though it has 2.2 on it now. Any idea why?

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.
Any thoughts?

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.

Thanks the info! I'm gonna go download it right now. You've been a great help.

Yes there is but I don't know what it is. Some themes in the past have removed it completely.

Its in system/framework-res.apk/res/eri.xml
Btw, to get there, u have to open the apk as an archive. When you get there, open the file with a text editor (notepad++ is best) and press ctrl-f or apple-f if on a mac and search for every mention of the word, sprint, and change those to cricket or whatever you want.

Thanks I will try that now.and no I won't flash miui, I tried it and I don't really like it, I prefer cyanogen, which I'm using now

Rom toolbox has an option for that, if I remember correctly.

It's funny, I change this on all of my roms and that's not how I do it. If that works, then I've been doing it the hard way, but the way I do it is to decompile /system/framework-res.apk and edit /res/values/strings.xml. Changing the word "Sprint" to whatever I want with Notepad++.
