so i had to go back to my first original rom that i backed up when i first rooted my g2 by using visionary. as soon as i installed my back up it showed that i had a update. i have android 2.2 so im sure its the 2.3 update,
well my question is if i update it will that unroot my phone and uninstall my rooted apps?? and if it does unroot me can tmobile track that it was rooted it?
keeps asking me over and over to update it
thanks alot , sorry if this been posted before, i couldn't find it if it was
Yes it will unroot it, if it is the 2.3 update, if you removed stock apps it will attempt and fail. Just update to a pre-rooted 2.3 end of problem. If you search there is other possible alternatives.
thanks alot, one last question, so if i want to unroot my phone at some point, i just uninstall my root apps and do the 2.3.3 update? will tmobile ever know if it was rooted by doing it this way?

I read the first post, and it said when the update is released, I can get it even if I'm rooted (no custom rom). If I update and I''m rooted, and it will unroot me, can I just unroot again? Or should I just unroot beforehand and update and root again? Will anything change when I unroot or will I just lose superuser?
You can to it anyway you want. Anyway you will get the 2.2 update either from t-mo/samsung or the forum "in the near future".
Okay, thank you
Hey all,
I am trying to unroot my phone via the OTA update.
I deleted some .apk and .odex from the system/app since I did not want them.
Anyone know where I can find these again? Link?
Tried searching in the Dev section but couldn't find it...
Thanks again all!
Same here I just rooted with unrevoked 3.3 and read somewhere that you could brick your phone if you accept ota updates after deleting stock app's is this true? I know ppl say to wait for a rom but gingerbread ota will be to tempting..can you just reinstall those apps or is .odex necessary?

No that's not true. Just don't accept ota updates, there's always a rooted update you can flash so you don't lose root. And a rooted 2.3 update will be the same as a ota update, just easier for you. And if you're really concerned about those Sprint apps you can always run the official ruu
So the gingerbread update is supposed to come out tonight, and one of the suggestions from moto. Was if your rooted to flash back to to stock software, im on the stock rom and stock everything but with a few rooted apps installed. So should I flash back, or can I just unroot with z4root unroot button. Thanks for the quick reply

If you care about root, I wouldn't accept the update until they root it. No one knows for sure what exactly will keep the update from working on your phone. If you want the update, Froyo stock unrooted is the safest bet.
There is a thread on what you need in this forum
Thanks for the reply I do want the update, im on the stock froyo with stock kernals. with some rooted apps installed, so I can just hit unroot on z4root and it will uninstall rooted stuff?

Yes, did you ever flash clockworkmod or bootstrap?
If all you did was root, use z4 to unroot.

Yeah never flashed with clockwork or anything, the most I did was change the boot animation using root tools but I put it back to the stock one, been waiting for gibgerbread for awhile lol

You may not be able to get it rooted however. Be careful
Still telling me update not available .. I'm guessing its due to me deleting the bloat wares.. I've not flashed or cloaked worked anything.. Just root. Delete wares..
Before Froyo, I was rooted and stock everything. (I really just wanted wi-fi tether and titanium backup). the OTA still worked fine, obviously I lost root, but I didn't lose anything else. Assuming you haven't flashed a new rom nor deleted stock apps, you should be fine. I don't think there's a way for the OTA to differentiate phones if they have the same basebands...
Ok this explains a lot...
If people aren't able to update.. this maybe why..
Copy and past this link.. i dont have enough posts to link to it.. ±★★gottabemobile.com/2011/05/27/droid-x-gingerbread-update-rolling-out-tonight-but-not-for-everyone

Be careful. You won't be able to upgrade if you deleted bloatware as it checks for system integrity before updating.
Thanks for testing it for us! Running nice and stable on apex, going wait and see if the new "bugs" are worth updating to.
Ok a little help here guys, My DX is currently running ApeX1.4.0 Froyo and earlier today the Gingerbread update got pushed to my phone, now with my knowledge about rooted phones tells me that rooted phones DONT get official updates OTA and Im kinda freaked out that it will ruin my root or brick my phone at this point its downloaded to my phone and keeps asking me to install it, help me out here people!
If you want to stay rooted than do not install the ota! There hasn't been any method found to root the official version yet

What? No.
Op, it will just try to install, and then fail. Then you're all set. Nothing bad will happen
Thanks Jmoney47,hanone I was getting worried for a second there
Even if you did get it, you can still get back to froyo, but you don't have to worry
i just got my over the air gingerbread question is before i update should i go back to stock rom and also unroot??
will i lose my root if i update?
Yes you should, and yes you will. Good Luck!
if im already on stock rom but rooted should i unroot before update? I dont want to brick it.
nevermind
Do not apply the update, you will loose root and would be a while before it would be rerooted. Just watit for the rooted version of the update to be posted here, that will happen way before the update to be rooted if u apply the update. Be patient, wouldnt be surprised if the rooted flashable update is posted today or tomorrow.
^^ Yeah dont make that mistake like i did. LOL
