Root ***YOU CAN SBF back to Froyo (.340) after taking .596 OTA***

[Metfanant]

YESSSSS, Thank you @Motorola for not screwing us over **** YOU CAN SBF BACK TO 2.3.340 IF YOU TAKE THE UPDATE. **** just wipe when finished

this is GREAT news...

 

[Bugly]

It would make sense, I had a feeling a lot of the fear was hype. At least now my testing has been cut in half... lol

 

[bouchigo]

this is GREAT news...

Nice! Glad they're not complete pricks after all

But I will wait for someone to do the OTA and sbf to 2.3.340 before I do the OTA

well to me actually it DOESN'T make sense...because previous OTA's took away the ability to SBF back

 

[Steven58]

I'm going to try it now.. see if I can get the ota. Take a look around and go from there. If I have to sbf back.. who cares? I don't.

Yup, that's a first, and not expected.

is it possible they are finally getting the hint that we're going to find a way to modify their devices no matter what they do, or buy someone else's stuff?
Nah, they're corporate drones, they can't be intelligent. What was I thinking?

 

[Steven58]

Title changed and thread stuck for a day or so. Yay, huh?

Let us know how it goes.

Also, if you can, upload the update for us, if you are even able to download it. That way we can use it ourselves if it works out for you

I'd be willing to give it a try. But I'm super new and have no idea. OTA Gingerbread is running great, doing some tweaks now.

cough *cowards* cough.

If someone tells me how to get the zip file and where/how to upload it, I'll do it. Just so you know, I have no megaupload-type accounts anywhere.

 

[Bugly]

^what he said^ I'd be happy to upload a zip if I were pointed toward an upgrade file.

 

[Steven58]

I think I'm too tired. May wait until morning to do this. it's 2:30 and I just finished my nandroid.

 

[JrzDroid]

Im staying up and waiting to see if P3 releases anything
Will be updating the Official Rom and Theme thread accordingly.

he says he is putting together the files now...so we shall see...

 

[goldz28]

Are people rooting the OTA already?

 

[bouchigo]

Might as well just wait until P3 releases the deodexed and rooted zip tomorrow.

 

[Bugly]

That would be a little too cool, but, one can hope...

 

[Metfanant]

That would be a little too cool, but, one can hope...

as of about a half hour ago he was already putting together the files...so its not out of the question

 

[cougar214]

Does anyone else feel like its christmas? How the excitement is brewing!!!!!.......lol....hey when someone gets this update, upload some screenshots so we can compare. 595 to the ota and look for the small changes (if any).

 

[Metfanant]

i don't want to lose my CRT off and 10% battery icons....

where is bouchy!?

 

[cougar214]

He either went to bed or he's playing with some little japanese creature. One can never be too sure.

EDIT: I know what you meen Met. One thing is for sure. Our devs are gonne be plenty busy over the next few weeks porting roms and themes over to the ota once a working root and sbf system is in place.

 

[lexluthor]

Subject of original thread says .396, please correct the error.

 

[Metfanant]

P3 should have all the files uploaded in less than a half hour...

chances are...us rooted users are going to have the OTA before it would have even been pushed to our phones lol
