first off you should never accept an ota or even unroot and accept the ota. all you need to do is flash the stock rooted version that the devs push out. luckily if you accepted the ota you can still root your phone. most of the times the ota will usually will close the exploit used to gain root and then you will have to wait for a new exploit which could take awhile.

second we need to know where you are at right now. what is your hboot? power off then press and hold power+vol down. also do you have s-on or s-off.

Theres NOTHING in an OTA thats worth unrooting to get.

Wait a week and either 1) the developers will have it baked into their roms or 2) there will be a stock ROM with it updated you can flash.

so do you still have s-off or s-on?

 

[evorob]

S off, but super user app says I'm not rooted nor WiFi tether.

 

[ocnbrze]

so when you run the superuser app it says that you are not rooted? what is your hboot?

 

[evorob]

correct,I have no root. Hboot- 2-15.00.11.19. As you can tell i am new at this but very interested in learning.

 

[Rxpert83]

I would just go ahead and rerun revolutionary...

 

[ocnbrze]

well you have s-off, so you are partly rooted. do you have a custom recovery? go into hboot and select recovery. do you get an exclamation point with a red triangle? if so then try and run revolutionary again. if that does not work we can try a ruu to get you all the way there.

 

[evorob]

ok,I want to do it right from the beginning.Maybe their is something im doing wrong.Can you please let me know the correct steps for revo. Because when i try to install any zip into recovery it will not let me. It says instalation aborted.

 

[evorob]

I hit recovery and it says clockworkmod recovery v2.6.0.1 and the rest in a teal color.

 

[argedion]

If your trying to reflash revolutionary you need to run that from the computer and not the phone. From the phone you will flash the ROM

Read the guide 2 times and follow it. Ocn did an excellent job discussing all the steps. This is you best shot

 

[evorob]

I cant run revolutionary on my windows. ????

no worries in the guide it says that yo have to extract it to someplace on your desktop.

 

[Rxpert83]

Take it step by step.. The program does the work for you.

 

[evorob]

[evorob]

[ocnbrze]

ok done.Extracted.When I right click on the extracted file nothing says run.It says open.

once the file is extracted, just double click it to run the program.

 

[evorob]

I did that and another window poped up with sub folders.

 

[ocnbrze]

I did that and another window poped up with sub folders.

oops sorry. yeah open up the folder and select revolutionary. and this is the one you double click. it will ask you to run it.

 

[evorob]
