LOL. If you have read the EH06 bug thread you know that I was having problems with getting Busybox to install. Well thanks to belyakov1976 finding that there wasn't enough space in system I was able to get busybox installed. So I did a fresh odin and installed busybox and all was fine right? Wait a minute I forgot to install SU. How did that work? I confirmed that Superuser was not installed. I installed Root Explorer and mounted the system RW. I had installed CWM so to rule that out I did a fresh Odin again and this time I installed Busybox without doing anything else, other than deleting Asphalt and Free Games to free up space. So for whatever reason this leak is already rooted.
That is beyond peculiar lol. Was it the tar directly from Samfirmware?

I used the first link from jUgGsY's post. Once I get done with what I am doing I will try and download it directly from samfirmware and try again. Unless somebody already has the file and is willing to test.

Wow, I just read this while I was Odining the EH06 Odex version, so when it came up I downloaded root explorer, went to system/app, mounted R/W, and deleted the asphalt 5 demo.... Worked like a charm. So I can confirm, not that anyone needs my word on over crawrj's
The ROM I used was the one with the samfirmware.com password, just the straight up leak.

because its looking for su. (superuser)
I'm not sure I really like this pre-rooted business. With SuperUser I get to approve or deny root and get a notification when an app is doing something which requires it. On EH06 I don't get any indication an app is doing something which requires root, unless like shoot me it is checking for SU first and telling me it can't find it, but those would be good apps. A bad app could take advantage of this in a malicious way :/

I hope that once we have this rooted, we will be able to flash the Desire ROM. I'm sick at my stomach knowing that we are missing the wonderful News (RSS) widget and even a few others.
The desire is not a CDMA phone.
Make more sense to just port the app you want and much more realistic.
sure. if someone can port a widget.
Could you modify the ROM to work with the Qualcomm CDMA processor?

If we had root, and if we could write to /system/, then we could push the widget to the phone and be done with it. It should not require a whole ROM port to accomplish. We already have the file (com.htc.NewsReaderWidget.apk), however we cannot install/push it to the phone.

A rooted phone might be locked out from an *official* update to 2.2, but the community would have that sorted out in a matter of hours once there was an official update to build off of. Anyways, until we do get root, that discussion is pretty much moot.
Thank you! Can't wait.

If there's an apk floating around, why couldn't it just be installed?
Also, rooted phones can run 2.2, I have no idea where you're getting that from.

Because you cannot install some .apk without permission to write to /system/app/ which we do not have. Want to try? It's attached. You will get "Application not installed" and if you try to adb push it, well, where are you going to put it? You cannot write to /system/app/ and you cannot write to /data/app/, so if you know another way...

Of course they can run it. First of all, it was another poster who said they could not -- and they didn't even really say they couldn't 'run' it, just said unambiguously that they couldn't install it -- which in hindsight was probably referring to the same manual update engadget discusses, linked below. Second, my suggestion that the upgrade *might* not be *officially* supported on a rooted phone was just a logical possibility in my mind when I said it, but may have actually turned out to be the case:

Update: Guess many others already set this comment straight. Sorry to be redundant
I one-clicked rooted my Epic and have DK28 installed. Since then I uninstalled some bloatware (amazon mp3, Nascar...) and installed Wifi Tether. So here comes the noobie question, what would happen if I just installed the OTA after the 26th (assuming this date is actually correct)?
PS. My GPS sucks right now, so, if the OTA is a horrible idea. Would using odin and going back to DI18 be possible with the root and uninstalled apps. From there I could flash back into DK28 and hope for some accurate GPSing.
Thanks for your Help

once you root, you CANNOT RECIVEVE OTA's. you will have to flash another rom that has that OTA as a base for it.
So then do you suggest using something like odin to flash back to DI18?

You wont be able to get the OTA, but I would recommend just waiting a couple hours after the first OTAs get pushed and there will be few a pre-rooted, CW-redirected basically stock builds pushed out by the developers. Then you can just flash those, and they will be basically stock but have the root goodness and you wont have to go backwards just to go forwards. When the "official unofficial DK28" dropped, it was only a couple hours before devs had them out the door.
Dont worry about the ota ,wait until its rooted and cooked up for us it will be very quickly after it is released. Besides the ota inst coming Sunday anyway. we may see it sooner who knows.

That's not true. You can as long as you don't remove any sprint apps or flash a custom rom. Rooting does nothing but given what is essentially administrator (aka superuser) privelges. You will lose root once the ota hits, but I won't do anything to harm your device. However, it will with stck apps removed.
To answer the ops question though:
Download titanium backup from the market and backup your apps and data. Odin back to di18 and then use the same oneclickroot (assuming you got it from the sticky in development) to get root and reinstall titanium (it requires root). Run a Batch reinstall of all missing apps and data. Bingo. You'll have everything back to normal on di18.

OK I will put this out there for everyone so we don't have a million threads going on this subject.
1 If your on DI18 stock and rooted with a simple root method you will get the OTA, you will lose root.Also having CWM installed will not break the OTA but you will lose CWM due to the stock recovery being flashed.
2 If your on a DI18 rom that you have flashed with CWM you will get the OTA but it will fail due to the rom not being stock the OTA zip will check for this and if your not on the stock rom the OTA will fail to install.
3 If you have a stock rom with any bloatware removed the OTA will also fail to install the OTA zip file will check your system to make sure its stock.
4 If you running a leaked Froyo build like DK28 or DK17 or any rom made from those leaks you will probably not get the OTA notification at all you will have to reflash back to stock DI18 to get the OTA.
The best thing to do if your running a rom is to wait on someone to make a flashable zip to convert from DI18 to EB13 or a zip to flash from a DK28 rom to EB13 it might take a day or two to get it converted but it will happen after all this time waiting for it another day or two shouldn't kill anyone.
I have stock DI18, rooted, and do have CWM installed (but never ever flashed any ROMs at all), will I be able to OTA? Sorry I'm still new at this.
Good idea to post this. I doubt it will prevent the morons from creating new threads though, there are already 3 or 4 scattered about on this board. Should probably throw something in there about being able to d/l it over Wifi as I've seen that one asked a lot recently, too.

So my question is, I have stock DI18 (Odined back from dk28 last night) and rooted using oneclick root with CWM 2.5.whatever(not CWM3). I have read that if you are rooted and want to receive the OTA update you must not have deleted any stock applications. Oneclick root deleted the stupid asphalt 5 game demo and I am wondering if this is considered a stock app that may affect the result of downloading the update.

Seems to be a conflict of criteria...is asphalt demo not considered a "stock" app? If it is, then by the OPs criteria even havin root would break the OTA since one-click removes asphalt...

I'm gonna say this one more time. SOME of us just want to have the littlest, simple satisfaction of receiving the cool little feature of an Over-The-Air upgrade.

What should someone do to prepare for the OTA
Well as someone said above, not every one has gone through a OTA update (I came to the EPIC from a true PALM when the software was really worth something) and some guidance may keep us from having major problems.
The only thing I could think of was to backup my EPIC. I used MyBackup Pro and backup to both my card and online. Anything else I should do????

Thanks for the detailed informed post. We need more like them.
I figure this is the best place to ask this.
I am stock and rooted with one click. I am not running any custom roms. Will there be a stock/rooted release that I can dl from this site or am I going to need to odin back to complete stock and take the OTA update. The majority of what I have been reading is to let your rom maker create a new one. Since I don't want a custom Rom yet, will I be able to get the stock/rooted update.
Thanks!

i have returned my phone to stock using house of moto, it is rooted, and xposed. any ideas why it failed after d/l and reboot?
do i remove root and xposed and modules? also lucky patcher.
OTA's are SUPER sensitive. You have to be running the phone at STOCK so it doesn't fail, literally everything has to be how it was when you got your phone. Thats why a lot of people are RSD'ing back to stock and then installing KK. That way you know it wont fail.
In your case, yes: remove root with OTA keeper (which sometimes doesnt work) and get rid of Xposed.
You will have to be running a completely stock ROM. To get mine to OTA, I used the 90.30.1 update from droid-developers(dot)org and House of Moto to flash. OTA went smoothly after that.

SafeRoot modifies the kernel slightly and even a full unroot will not resolve the kernel change. You must flash to 90.30.1 via House of Moto. You can do that on a locked BL, I did it yesterday to mine. You can flash to the same ROM or NEWER on a locked BL, but you cannot flash to an OLDER ROM.
I used SafeRoot on my phone, and was in the same scenario as you.

I can't seem to locate a thread/post on doing this. Could you point me in the right direction?
EDIT: I eventually found this. If anyone would like the prepared House of Moto folder (and assuming it doesn't violate any licenses; I'd better check), I'll zip it up and paste a Dropbox link.
I flashed back to stock using RSD Lite and still can't update... This is weird.

Droidrzr(dot)com has a tutorial on House of Moto. And sbf(dot)droid-developers(dot)org supplies the firmwares to use with that. I can't post links because I'm too new. MODS: sorry if I'm linking to a "competitor" website, but I couldn't find the information here!

That is weird. Did you use 90.30.1 from the link above? I did it through fastboot and did a complete wipe (absolutely all data lost).

I think I edited my post as you were writing that, so take another look.
House of Moto worked well by all appearances. I used KEEP-DATA, incidentally.
The update is flashing as I type this, so fingers are crossed!

I did read one account that someone could still not OTA with KEEP-DATA. Try universal, if you don't want to lose all of your data*. I did FULL mode when I did it, and it wiped everything but my SD card, and OTA worked flawless.
* I'm really not sure what universal keeps. Backup your stuff!
I was under the impression that if you were under the latest JB ota you couldn't return to stock. I'm actually TRYING to get back to stock.
Have I been misinformed?

I believe that you are able to flash back to the version you are currently on. So, if you were on 90.30.1 rooted/modified, you could RSD/FB back to 90.30.1 stock. You, however, cannot flash back to a version older than 90.30.1.

and now it says update check cannot be performed at this time
Where would i be able to download the 98.18.94 firmware for the razr m so i can RSD back to it? I uninstalled a lot of the verizon bloatware so the update fails. I've looked everywhere and i can't seem to find it. Suggestions?
