Now that the slide has Root and an update, I have a question that may have been asked/answered in previous threads, forgive me in advance (I did a search and could not get an answer)...
Once rooted, will the slide still get the Froyo update?
Also if the phone has to go back for exchange/warranty, is there a way to flash it back to "Stock" as we did with the Samsung BHII?
TIA!
There is a nandroid backup of the stock rom available in the development section of the forum to revert back for warranty, not sure if froyo will goto a rooted slide, but I'm sure the devs will have a 2.2 rom out soon

Wait... There was an update?
This is the one thing keeping me from rooting.
Just back up your stock android rom before rooting so you can restore it. When you get to clockworkmod for the first time create a backup.

½anyone know where to get the RUU of the slide rom, not mixed and modified by a dev or cook?
but the origional rom or lastest version of it.
the nandroid backup will get you back to stock(ish) and if you're rooted with an aftermarket rom, you WILL NOT receive any updates from tmobile.. A couple days after release of the update, we'll have a rooted version, i can bet my right nut on it(and yes i do still have my right nut lol)
Guys... I don't play forum police or anything but the questions go in the q/a stickied thread or in general. The moderater already moved several threads like this today. Oh and when we do get an update... it will posted here after the proper mods have been made. You'll only have to wait a couple days and I'm sure that will be faster than you having to wait in line for your ota to be beamed to your handset. So go ahead and root it.. trust me! You'll be glad you did. Oh and if you get an ota... don't install it! Contact me or one of the other forum members. Or better yet post your news and we'll tell you the steps so we all can enjoy it.

I was going to take advantage of the May 7th 2.1 update. How would I go back to stock?
Don't believe the hype.

What does that have to do with my question about how to go back to stock?

Search for RUU and you will find the wisdom you seek.
This needs to be moved to the general section. Not too mention, you need to search first before asking questions that have been asked plenty of times in the past.

Try that fancy new search function.
So "searching" aside.
Why are you wanting to Unroot for 2.1? If you currently enjoy the privledges of Root, this would make no sense.
After the 2.1 update is released - it is more than likely that our asroot2 exploit along with most of the others that have been found will be patched. My guess is HTC has a team of people correcting root exploits as users find them.
Eris for example only has root because of a leaked development version of the rom that still had root in it.
besides all the good info posted above if all you want to unroot for is to move your phone to the new 2.1 official being released, supposedly, on Friday than all you need to do is nothing. The release is most likely going to be an RUU just like the leaked version and that means that when you run it everything on your phone will be wiped. So there you go, if you want official 2.1 on friday, do nothing till friday and then download the release and install it.

As far as the searching goes....since bricking my original Hero I am too afraid to go based on the information scattered in threads so I post my own question because I have in the past discovered that things change and most of the people in this forum are pretty up to date with the current scenario of things. So I ask the question. If I were to reword that question into a statement of confirmation would that have changed the interpretation of it? I have the file downloaded to go back to stock. I just wanted to see if I would have gotten a link to the same file version as me.
As far as going back to stock goes Kcarpenter I am going to be giving this phone to my lovely lady who will in turn let the kids beat on it. She is not into all the r2d2 c3po software and wanted me to put it back the way it was when I first bought it. And yeah you were the one to help me figure out how to flash my Hero. I switch at least twice a day I have no clue which version I am running. Thanks again. I will be back with a Nexus One otherwise I am taking the Samsung Moment for a spin.

I would like to get the OTA update that comes out today, but assume I cannot do that with root and the custom recovery. Are there directions somewhere on how to do this for the unrevoked3 setup? Thanks.
If you are running a rooted stock rom and all you've done is push super user, busybox, and maybe a modified host file for adfree, I don't understand why you would need to unroot to receive the OTA update. None of the core system has been modified. Am I totally off base here? To my mind, the worst that would happen is you would loose root.
need stock recovery to flash the ota properly. downgrade via the instructions posted in this forum and do the two ota. then reroot using unrevoked 3
I'd just wait for the devs to clear the new OTA. Didn't take long with the EVO.
No need to jump the gun quite yet...

Yeah, this is what I'm waiting for. A similiar EVO solution to the OTA
seriously, you open a thread to answer your other thread? while the answer you looking for is right in the 1st page.
I've reported both threads and suggested a temp ban. **** on the first page there is a huge orange font telling me how to install the ota. I wish this phone woulda came out on anything but verizon. To many kids on verizon....and idiots.
Lol

I'm not issuing warnings yet for questions posted in development which may fall under that scope. I have requested a Q&A sub-forum be created for DI. We'll see how that pans out. Until then, please post questions in the thread where you believe your issue is arises. Otherwise, please post questions in the DI/General sub-forum until a Q&A forum is created. Thanks!
Did a search, only thread i found was one that didn't have the question answered either.
So the million $ question! Will having a rooted vibrant not get OTA updates?
The stickied "tips and tricks" thread says yes, you can still get OTA updates, but some people seem to say yes, others no, and even others say "no idea"
Can we have the questions answered?

This is answered in the very first post on this page (it's the Sticky with Tips/Tricks in the title).
Yes. You can receive OTA as long as you're on stock JFD/JI2-3-4 ROM (i.e. not bionix/FTW/etc.). If you updated to JI5 via Kies it appears to be hit/miss.
Yes you can but I got tired of waiting for the update so I just installed it through ODIN.

How hard did you search?
20 mentions of rooted users getting ****ed by their OTA in the threads listed after 30 seconds of looking.
Quite a few also list no issues. You'll get it, but there's no guarantee it'll work.
Im rooted and I got the notification. But with the hit or miss of bricking my phone. Ill stay on JFD till 2.2 comes out. I have no issues with my phone. And for those who like me just want to stay on stock root JFD and got the notification and want to get rid of the little icon of postponing the update. Just use a task killer and its gone.

i will wait as well as its not worth it thanx on the task Kill
So earlier today I posted asking if i was able to get OTA updates even though i have bionix fusion 1.0. I was told by two users the answer is no or i would brick my vibrant. Then i looked at the sticky and saw that the OP says I can but only if the ROM doesnt block OTA's. I am not sure if mine does and all i need is to know whether i need to revert back to stock in order to get OTA's or if i can get them while rooted. I dont care if I loose my root by updating, btw. I can re-root very easily.
thanks to anyone who can give me a 100% correct answer!!!!

and their replies were pretty much the same thing I told you. but I guess my answer about flashing a froyo rom didnt make sense.
Hi! All. i'm looking for stock rom for iconia a500 for Singapore. Need to unroot it & install stock rom & receive OTA updates from Acer. Can anyone tell me how to determine which stock rom is for the Singapore market? I have Acer Recovery Installer installed with ClockworkMod Recovery rev1.3.4 by thor2002ro. I did not do a backup of my stock rom previously therefore now at a lost as to how i can revert back to official rom to receive OTA updates.
oh no. you'll definitely have some bricks coming your way. Watch out.

Well, folks, don't throw any bricks at him.
@wolvie77, you are posting this question in the wrong forum. This is for Development threads. It "should" have been posted in Q&A.
Secondly, you have posted the same question in 3 different threads. A big "no-no"
Thirdly, I already answered your question as best as I could in one of your other posts.
Finally, if you root and install a custom rom, you should already know how to roll back to an original rom, before you did it. If you didn't learn this, well, call it a lesson learned.
I'll help you a little, install a com gen 1 rom. Will it be be exactly like you had before? Probably not, because you didn't write down what you had before you installed a custom rom!
However, when Acer pushes OTA's, you will be able to receive them.
To roll back to stock, read the threads, or post the question in the correct forum... Q&A. (Questions and answers). Hell, you can post it General also.
