http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1128728 -optimized rom, I'm not sure what it has or doesn't have...

And here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127169 STOCK Rooted

*DO NOT INSTALL THE OTA UPDATE* You will lose root, and it may molest your phone....


If you have updated, the devs have not found the root exploit for 2.3 *YET*
I am sure that they will soon, and once I find a link for a rooting guide, or good instructions I will add them to this thread or start a new sticky.... Thanks for reading!

Keep us updated, I'm using the leaked version, and i'm wondering if there is any difference before switching.

From the little I've read, sounds like it's a vast improvement. (how is that possible? Downloading now, hopefully I will have a chance to flash it later. I will get back to you with my experience.....

Good thing I came to these forums before I updated!! I was given the option to update (manually) and during the update is when I read the post about not updating if you are rooted.. dodged a bullet!!

So I will update via the rooted rom download. My question is, if I want to keep all of my apps and data to the apps, I just use Titanium backup correct? Then restore them after the update?

I did, and it worked fine until I rebooted. If you do restore using Tibackup, don't restore data. Just do a batch restore to the apps.

Why not data? I've never done it before so can you list the steps I have to do to save all of my apps + data & restore all of them successfully after I update?

 

[330D]

Data messed with all my widgets when carried over to the update.


Open ti backup, click on the backup/restore button, then click menu. An option for batch will be there. choose it, and then there will be a list of options you can backup or restore. choose backup user apps. wait to finish.

Next do a nandroid backup, and flash the rom. once it boots up, log in to your google/facebook whatever you need to log into. Wait until it gets to the home screen, then go to the market and download tibackup, and do the same as above, but restore user apps instead of backup user apps. it should be good to go. (I use the paid version, never had any luck with the free one)

I'm going to bed, but you should have everything you need there to get you updated...


And, FWIW, we should be talking about the root stuff in the all things root section. I will move the post once you are all set....

Worked like a charm!!

Glad I could help.

Titanium backup was frustrating for me way back when I started to use it, It has been updated umpteen times since then, and it is much easier to figure out now. I still don't know everything that it can do. It is one of my must have apps.

I've read through countless threads from different forums so I can't recall if I read over anyone have FC problems with maps...

Try uninstalling the maps update.

Try uninstalling the maps update.

Thanks...I actually just cleared data and it seems to be alright for now...I may have another hmm issue that maybe you could help me with. After I flashed the update I accidentally restored apps+data from TB (doh!) is there a way to perhaps reverse that?

 

[Abird!]

could i just reflash the rom and go from there?

 

[330D]

It's not a big deal... You can just set your phone up the way you want, then backup apps and data, and you will be set. 2.2 and 2.3 are different enough that the data gets a little messed when you attempt a restore. It really is only good for apps in this situation.

Just so I am clear, I haved an unrooted Stock EVO Shift that I did the OTA update to GB 2.3. As of right now, if I am FINALLY ready to root, with the expectation of ONLY rooting so that I can use applications that work with rooted phones, and NOT to flash new ROMS (as of right now) there does not exist a "one click" method of rooting right? I checked out Unrevoked 3 and it failed to root based on my "speedy" model phone/OS.

So far there is NOT a rooted version of the update to Gingerbread. I will post a link as soon as I find A link, or if one of you guys catches it before me, feel free to post one up.

I am sure the devs will have something brewed up for us soon....

 

[330D]

I need to update this. There is a rooted rom to flash, but there is no root exploit for gingerbread yet. If you updated, you cannot root as of right now.

 

[toddpedersen]

Thank you so much! I was pulling out my hair trying to figure out on these threads if I could root or not. You have cleared that up for me!

Hey so I have been reading up on the htc bootloader and roots etc. I read somewhere the newer HTC phones have a root that is impossible to crack because they use encryption or something that makes it alot more harder than in the past like on the evo etc that could be rooted with brute force. I am wondering if the OTA Sprint update moved our rom to this impossible type to root of if their is still hope for those who did the 2.3 update OTA?

thanks

 

[330D]

It is hard to say, really. I am NOT a dev, and have no idea what finding the root exploit entails. I know that there has been talk of them locking the bootloaders down, but there was massive backlash via HTC's facebook page, so they know that people want them to leave well enough alone. Hopefully they heed what their customers want and don't (haven't) locked down the bootloaders. Time will tell....

I hope so too. I am not a developer either. I just want to root to get rid of all the sprint junk, and redundant HTC apps "News" and "News and Weather" and Quick Office. They really need to consider some people might already own other Office apps like Doc2Go.

Hi everyone! I just got the option to update to 2.3 over the air. Before I do so, I wanted to find out what I need to do since I've been happily temp rooted with Visionary. Do I need to untemp root before I get the update and will I then be able to re-temp root with Visionary?

Thanks!

 

[330D]

You will not be able to root if you do the update.
