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.

Not really from what I understand. We have way more flexibility with our odin utility than you do with your ruu. We can flash any version of software and with any mods through our utility. I believe you need to follow either your un root method or something else also you need to turn security off or they will know you have rooted

HTC EVO Shift Release - 2.76.651.5 (3.92MB) OTA

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 guess it depends on what all was changed, but i have always "thought" any ota closed a exploit, but this one hasnt been found by any dev for them to need to close it, so thats up in the air

Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App

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.

So for anyone taking this ota, we need a favor before you flash it, atleast hook up to your pc find the update and throw it on dropbox,multiupload,megaupload,mediafire, somewhere so a dev can get their hands on it

+1 Be careful. If anything, just see if you can DL it without loading to phone. That way we can take a look at it.

is there anything in the download that might give away any of my personal information?

Just saying Hi

I'm one of the new guys on the block. Wanted to say hi. I can't post in teh DEV section yet, which I guess is okay as I'm a noob. I want to first off extend a huge "Atta Boy" to GruesomeWolf and his crew. The SHOOTER RLS1 ROM is fantastic.
I also wanted to say thank you to the DEV's who actually broke the corporate choke hold and found the root exploit for our EVO 4G's. I just changed to sprint from Verizon. I hate big Red. They suck much ass.
I previously had a Moto Droid2 that I broke the bootloader on and flashed to Android 2.3.3 early. It was rooted, and it still sucked. I'm so much happier on my EVO.
So that was a little about me, just wanted to say hi and give thanks.

I switched from big red too a year ago. Was on that lg dare "iphone.killer".lmao

Welcome!!!
Now go enjoy your new rooted Evo 4g. Been happy with mine for over a year now and will be a little longer until something worth upgrading to come along.

Welcome to the forums! I took my evo in to sprint due to the charging port not working, had to unroot it to take it in, and then the guy updated it to 2.3.3 for me without me knowing. They just gave me a new charger for the charging issue and it started happening again a week later

Hi! Welcome. I'm new myself but have been lurking for a bit. Running MikG myself. It's great so far. When I first got my EVO I wasn't sure if I would root or not. Of course then the exploit came out and I couldn't resist.

Welcomes!! I'm new here too and there's so much great info here!!

Thanks for the warm welcome. Don't want to turn this into a support thread, but I have a few questions.
How do I give "Thanks" to someone? I really want to extend a thanks to GW for this SHOOTER ROM. Its a little bugy, but none the less its so sweet its diabetic.
I'm loving my EVO 4G. Its the best phoen I have ever had.

Well I'm on my laptop and I don't see any thanks link. Does this have to be mobile from my phone?
Also, I can't post in the dev section, but I'm having some bugs with this ROM and wanted to discuss them. Where would the appropriate place be in this case?

Try to choose XDA 2010 mode instead of Classic. Should located at the very bottom on the left hand side.

I found it. I swear it was never there before but it is now.
Thanks all. Happy Droiding

Can someone please go to stock EC05 and follow my video "how to root and clockwork ef02 and eh06 with odin and see if it gives root and cwm? It should... just don't have another epic yet to test it on. (Anyone know anyone selling an epic let me know!)
Ill post a link to the video when I get to a pc. Thanks in advance and ill be sure to press that thanks button. Also if you could test the android wifi tether app after you go through this process it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone.
