Hi all
Just unlocked my bl and rooted this awesome phone. I notice I am on 2.3.2 right now but would like to update to 2.3.3.
I have heard there is a method to manually flash this update without losing my unlock/root.
Could anyone point me in the right direction?

I've heard of people flashing it OTA and then doing Flashtool to recover it, because your Play will be bricked afterwards... I still don't know if you would still have unlock and root after that though... I'm thinking of jumping ship to CM7.
Would someone mind referring me to the steps of ota and then unbricking with flashtool please?

Hi everyone. I got a replacement phone and it still had froyo. Before I updated to 2.3.4 I unlocked the bootloader. Is there an easy way to root since I did that? I appreciate any help.

since im on 4.5.91 --- 2.3.4 updated thru the phone, do i still need to flash the sbf file in the tutorials or can i just go ahead and root my phone without flashing it?
You can root without flashing anything.

I have a droid 2 non global. I had all ota updates and now i cant root my phone. I have tried everything, even the droid 3 root and nothing. Anyone else having this issue since the latest update? I am stuck and need this bloatware gone. And i want a good ROM. Please help..

If you installed the most recent update without using Voodoo RootKeeper to back up your root, you're up the creek without a paddle because the newest update breaks root and changes the bootloader so you can't SBF.

Thanks. That explains it!

Do not update if you want to keep root. It blocks root.

If you root before you update, then you will keep the root. Just don't install Clockwork mod. I think that screws up the update, causing it to fail. Anyway, My phone is rooted and on 2.3.4 and I did just this.
I'm going to ftf back to 2.3.3 to get root

unlock your bootloader and you can root every firmware version by flashing superuser zip file in CWM, even 2.3.4
In currently running stock firmware but rooted. I'm in the 3 network in the UK. I checked the other night to see if an update was showing and nothing, and I've been checking periodically over the last few weeks.
Tonight I thought I would give it a go and I am currently downloading a 548.36mb update. Does anyone know what this is??

are you running the 4.4.2 update already?? cause if so it might be bug fixes
Nope. I'm running stock 4.2.2. I didn't think u would get it as I an rooted.
Went to install it and obviously that's where NY excitement became frustration. I've uninstalled Xposed and done what I can to unroot the device without a PC and an attempting again.
Is there a way to unroot the phone without a PC?

if you have a custom recovery than you need a pc or alot of looking around for the flashable zips of stock recovery but they have flashables of the 4.4.2 update that are pre-rooted so id say flash that when you can
This does not belong in the Development Section; moved here...Thanks.
