Hi! I'm new to these forums as a poster, but have often come here to learn new things or solve questions. But Now I have one that I cannot seem to find the answer to!
A few months ago, I rooted my phone and upgraded it to 2.1. There were many bugs with this release (the most annoying is the one where the alarm clock can't be shut off unless one resets the phone!), but overall I was very pleased. Of course, I read that it would be my responsibility to update my phone manually, which I was fine with. Now that the official OTA update has come out, I can't seem to find any information on how I am supposed to update manually. Some places I read have even said that people who installed 2.1 before the OTA will never be able to able to update their phone. Of course, 2.1v3 was recently leaked (I hear it is practically no different than the OTA), but another update is looming. The way I had understood it, I would be able to downgrade and "unroot" my phone at any time, essentially restoring it back to factory condition and allowing me to receive OTA updates. Now, it seems this is not the case?
If someone would be so kind to help me understand what my options are, why they are my options, I'd be very much obliged. I'm not going to whine about not being able to receive OTA updates from "big red" or anything, I just want to have a clear understanding of what joining the "underground society of leak users" means to me.
Thanks a lot everyone! You've helped me many times before, hopefully there's an answer to some of my questions this time too!
