[ECFfighter7232]

Post instructions too for those of us who are neurotic about not messing their phones up

the OP already has instructions in it for the non rooted one. do I need to clear them up more?

I'm talking about root lol. I can wait for the actual OTA to hit my phone

@ECF do you think I will have to install pre root leaked gb first for root or if it's coming straight from the "ota"

 

[decks19]

I recently rooted and did the gb leak and after having some serious lag I sbf'd back to stock. Now will that not allow me receive the OTA? Im a noob so help

Lol wait until ECF updates his op as the method may change

My sync in taskbar won't go away. Does this mean I have to do a factory data reset for it to go away?

If you sbf back to stock the or any ota for that matter should go through , usually just deodex files, custom roms/leaks and removed system apk block ota

oh ok

while I honestly have no clue, my educated guess will be that this will be just like the last rooted gb leak, a pre-rooted .zip file we will install (possibly having to be over 2.3.340)

Yes indeed. We should thank and SUPPORT THEM, especially because they took a lot of heat last week. How 'bout we each send a few bucks their way, huh?

why i cant install it as a update.zip it says install aborted!

I'm currently running the original GB leak, also downloading the .sbf to get back to Stock and be ready for the OTA or just to flash the leaked OTA. This root should make some really exciting things happen ROM-wise in the coming weeks.

Watching this thread and TBH's twitter intently for root developments. O_O

 

[rmrlc]

yes i renamed and still wont install it!

I went to file manager and the file was update.zip.zip I removed one of the .zip and it worked.

 

[hahaha what]

if you used z4 to root and then use it to unroot can you get the ota

 

[gmenfan83]

Should have no problems

For anyone interested I just .sbf'ed back to stock Froyo and then did a System update search, "You device is up to date! No update is necessary at this time." I expected as much, now back to custom ROMs.

EDIT: Then again, with what is being reported about them "silently" pushing the OTA to phones it kind of makes the update check worthless anyway.

Yeah thats pretty much how its been all morning. But thats the same thing that happened when froyo was being pushed OTA. It took forever to show up.

Interesting, but kind of understood already at this point.
