Anyone Receive a 12.8MB OTA Update Today?

[thenestor]

I wonder if people on Leak v.2 and under will get this OTA. I dont remember the differences, but I am going to assume that ANY version of the Leak or people using RUU w2ill get the OTA.

I wouldn't be too sure. All of the previous OTA's have checked the build number, and have only executed if they find that exact number. For instance, the last OTA checked for "1.17.605.1 CL104882" as the build number. Theoretically this one will be checking for 2.36.605.1.

Looks like the wifes phone will be getting the RUU tonight then. Either that, or after I get the OTA I will get it to her. Thanks brother.

Nope, we have to wait until someone follows these directions and gives us all the URL for the OTA update file:

I would imagine if VZW was going to push it OTA, you would need to have your service (Mobile Network) on.

^ When I got my original 2.1 update, I was on wifi only.

In that case, it would come mobile network only, WiFi only, or both activated. Thanks for the correction. Probably the WiFi would even be a faster download.

Don't update if you got a recent OTA update. You will not be able to root anymore with HBoot 1.49

...or rather, it won't be as easy to root : [Tutorial] Root for LEAKERS 6/25/10 - xda-developers

Do we know that the recent OTA changes the hboot? I thought the posts were by folks who had the v3 leak or the RUU update (from v3).

Was there anyone in this thread who updated from the 2.1 OTA, had HBoot 1.47 and now has 1.49?

 

[RS36]

I can't give specific details as to which version of hboot I was running or anything else, but here is what I can tell you.

I bought the Eris stock with 1.5. I upgraded to 2.1 with the OTA update from Verizon. I did the latest OTA update yesterday morning. I rooted this morning.

I didn't see anything in this last update that would've made it more difficult, granted I had never messed around with rooting prior to that.

When you do the OTA's they dont change your HBoot, which is why you were still able to root

 

[MrDangerous]

Yeah if a bad flash comes OTA, Verizon can still reload your phone with the RUU. If the bootloader is damaged, you're probably stuck.

Ah ok. I only mentioned it because I was getting the impression from some people that if you did the latest OTA update, you wouldn't be able to root anymore. Maybe I misunderstood them. Either way, I'm good!

It's a common worry with updates and legitimately so if you don't know about how updates work. The leaked version messed everyone up (for easy root), but the difference between the leaked version and an OTA update is that the leaked update fully wiped out your phone and installed its own bootloader along with all files. The OTA update was a patch file that only updated phones with the latest files without touching the bootloader. Pretty much any OTA update is going to do this, because Verizon doesn't have the time to help everyone out who calls to complain that their phone was just wiped out. Can you imagine?

If you flashed the RUU or went with the leak 3 and decided to go with this new OTA update Verizon is sending then you will not be able to root. But since you never flashed any of those and only did OTA's this whole time then your good to root

Same here. Seems like people are getting it but no one is capturing it. I can tell you that if I get it, I will get it up within 30 mins.

 

[jayochs]

sooo.......nobody checked yet but, are any of you guys who got the new update getting silent bug?

 

[roirraW "edor" ehT]

The only thing I regret about rooting is the fact that now i spend so much time playing with my phone changing things.

YEAH! Darn rooting! Grumble, grumble... lol j/k!

 

[hlaalu]

So if us leakers get and install the update, does this mean we aren't leakers anymore?
