I'm very sorry for what is probably the 1000th post about this but I have searched and searched and haven't found a conclusive answer. I have two questions.
Question #1: Does rooting possibly mess up the OTA update system?
Question #2: Is gingerbread out yet from Bell? I have even called them and they don't know what gingerbread is. (great)
Thanks guys.
1. I don't think so. I was rooted and got a Bell OTA update without issue.
2. Not yet. In the next month or two we should get something according to a leaked internal e-mail.

1: No, after rooting, you can still do OTA Updates. But after doing an OTA Update, you will have to root again.
2: Not officially released on Bell yet. No word on when the official release date will be.

Was wondering..
I seen once you update to the early 2.1 update floating around there's no going back to 1.5, which is fine.. I've done the update and have no problems.
However, if they were to tweak more and make the 2.1 update better by the time the official one releases, will our phones still receive the update? Or will it register as already having 2.1 and not pick up on it?
First off please search the Forum and the entire internet before asking questions. I am not trying to be a jerk it is just that if everyone started a new thread for a question this place would be horrible.
Second of all if you have a question related to something you already see a thread started about feel free to drop in and post the question after you have used the search function. Again not trying to be a jerk but about half of the 70+ pages in the 2.1 Leak thread are repetitive questions.
So use the search function and if you still don't find the answer ask it in the 2.1 Leak thread.
Thank you and good luck on the search!

Well, for one, I'm okay answering questions again. IF HTC releases another 2.1 ROM, we can update if we recieve the PB00IMG.ZIP. From what I"ve heard, most of the 2.1 upates won't be OTA, they'll be a process you have to do with a rom update utility from your computer. So we'll recieve that PB00IMG.zip and be able to update just like we did here.
If they release an OTA, they'll have to put two out. One for the 1.5 users, and one for the hacked 2.1. OTA's are designed to update from a certain version to the next, they contain files that are overwritten, not a complete new firmware. That is why the last two OTA updates were 11mb, and the leaked rom was 103MB.
Simply put. If we get an RUU (Rom Update Utility), we will be able to update. If not, I'll give verizon a call and tell them the update failed, I contacted HTC, and they told me to get the Rom Update Utility from them. If we get it, we'll have the newest update
Enjoy!

and you realize upping my new thread and yet not answering does no help to the forum being clogged either right? lol you may as well have answered it or not responded at all
anyways thanks zifna appreciated was just curious
Hi. I am a dev who is fairly new to the Android platform. I recently acquired a droid eris running 2.1 leak v3. I am interested in upgrading to root. I was wondering if anyone had achieved root in any of the leaks? If not, is anyone working on it? If so I may be able to help.
Thanks in advance and I apologize if any of these questions had already been answered. I have searched all over this forum and other forums and could not find a recent answer to these questions.
Also, I hear the OTA is right around the corner and might be the exact same as the third leak. Should I just wait until that comes out to attempt to achieve root? I do not want to spend hours of my time working on this only to have the OTA come out the next day and have done this for nothing.

There are versions of 2.1 rooted, but there is no current way to go from the leaks TO root. There are rooted roms based on 2.1 though.

They usually release only to a few thousand at a time the first few days, then up to 10,000 a day a few days later or something like that, so you might not get it till next week if its truly coming out.
They also have typically announced the update in the Verizonwireless.com forums under the android\incredible section. Until you see it there I would consider it a rumor.
Im just wondering if we will even get the ota if we're rooted or if we will have to unroot first.
According to this, the update is for real:
w ww.droid-life.com/2010/07/16/breaking-droid-incredible-ota-update-is-go/
Oops...can't post a link yet.
hey OP, make this a poll
I've been seeing it everywhere, but haven't gotten it yet.

gonna have to unroot to get updates.
EDIT: I take this back. It depends on your version. If you have an older version of software and you have not turned off notifications you will get the notification to update. If, however you're running a froyo ROM then my understanding is that you won't see the update.
Been on all the android forums today , so far nobody has gotten the update OTA.
If it was out today vzw would confirm it like they did when we got the first update.
All I heard today was a friend of a friend got the update , RIGHT !
Verizon hasn't released the "official" OTA, but there is a leaked version that people are downloading and installing. It appears to be authentic, but since not an OTA may affect future Radio updates if you install it. Plenty of info over at the Droid Forum.

Which Droid forum?
this droid forum for one thing. Check in the development section and you will see several threads with leaked ota discussing this
.
I'm really anxious to get the update, but I'm going to wait for the OTA. I updated my Eris with a leaked OTA, and I ended up regretting it. It made rooting much more difficult, and stopped me from getting the final OTA.

Do you know how it stopped you from getting the final OTA? i would think if you wiped and went back to a stock ROM the network wouldn't know the difference.

Nope. Known issue with the Eris leak.
Well, I'm not sure if if I have the OTA or not, or just part of it.
I rooted with the original instructions, then updated everything with Unrevoked 3.1. Stock ROM installed, have working WIFI tether.
Yesterday, got a message in my notification bar that a Verizon widget was available. I can now add a new Data Usage widget to my desktop, which says "Data Usage 0.0/0 MB Estimate as of N/A". Not sure why it isn't updating, but it's possible that it's related to me having a corporate rather than a personal account.
Never got a prompt to install any OTA. Tethering still works.
Hardware version 0002, Firmware version 2.1-update1
So maybe the Verizon widget was pushed by itself without the full OTA since I don't have the standard recovery?
FYI, the OTA has been halted in favor of packaging it up with the official Android FroYo v2.2 update. So instead up two OTA's we will have one OTA to rule them all!

Even better! I assume the recommendation then is to unroot?

No, the recommendation would probably be to hold your horses and wait till the OTA get's patched so we can simply upgrade without any hassle.
Hi guys,
I have checked/searched for similar threads but I didn't get a definitive answer to my query (I thought I would mention that before the usual suspects have a go at me ).
Nevertheless, my question relates to the OTA. I gave in and updated using the RUU two weeks ago but the OTA has been pushed since. My question is.. will I be pushed the OTA to flash over the RUU?
I know the RUU and OTA are most probably the same but I am hoping the later released OTA may have the WIFI issue fixed so I am keen to try it.
Many thanks.. I will look forward to responses.

Just let you know, I done research too, and find out, ruu and ota for unbranded dhd are same, there is no any different, if wifi issue is there try factory reset, I have RUU, no wifi problem at all, using ruu nearly month..., hope this help...
So it seems you cant update the official gingerbread while having the 2.3.3 leaked version. What can you do from here? is there anyway to downgrade? i saw a guide but seriously, it was too confusing and it was his first guide so i can understand. Is there any other way? or just go to the store when ever its available?
I wonder if the store update will go over the leaked version. If you do it this weekend let us know of if anyone does for that matter. If it works the only time I will have available to do it is on Sunday.
for sure! ill let everyone know. is it the 6? or the 13 that the stores are getting the sd card update?
Best thing to do i guess is to wait until someone post the link for this version..
in other posts looks like the official link is already being posted. Maybe it isn't??? It comes out the 5th.
do you mean the update that someone kindly posted when they got their ota update? if thats the one your saying its not working for the 2.3.3 version. and thank you!
you could go to www.shipped-roms.com
Most/all of the official updates are there.

Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision for information on downgrading and getting back to stock 2.2 so that you can get the latest OTA of 2.3.4.
