If I want root. I can't apply the update, right?

Do not apply it until there is a confirmed rooted zip. Which we will need a recovery image for. I assume koush could get us something soon.

The update DOES NOT hurt the root. I am rooted and have the update installed

confirmed, same here, rooted with update.
Now, i do not know if the root just stuck after the update, or if you can root after you update, that hasnt been confirmed as i rooted before the update.

Heh. Yup. I really wanted it. All I can say it surpassed my expectations.

There is a rumor that is also takes away tv out. BUt I think it only takes it off a menu. Waiting for confirmation that it still works.

What are the Samsung code names of the firmwares, before the update and after?

Root works after update too!

Cellular South HTC Hero 2.1 Update (NEXT WEEK!!!!!)

Quote from Cellular South
"We have approved the Hero 2.1 Android update and it has now been handed over to Google and HTC for their final approval. When this occurs, the software will be available to download from the online Discover Center. We will provide more details here next week as soon as it’s available."
Right off their facebook page! YES!!!!
Note: If you want to root your phone later, Do NOT apply this update!!! IF YOU ARE ROOTED, DO NOT APPLY THIS UPDATE EITHER!!! This WILL wipe your phone and root! I will be making a stripped down flashable version once it is released!
Wow sorry to hear you had to wait what, an extra month and a half? That's nuts.

Yeah the wait has been way too long.. I'm not even worried about the update that much since the xda community gives me more(and better!!) options than CS ever could lol I just want my picture messaging already...

ok cool i had 1 more question tho i have the vibrant 2.1 flashed which means i should get the update. and after update i am going to loose the root but i can root it again right?
"vibrant 2.1"
you mean you are stock? Or did you flash a custom rom?
You should be able to root it once you have stock froyo (once a developer figures out how to exploit it)... but I would not do the OTA update. Just keep your eye on XDA and you will have froyo + root, and it will be stock.
In the near future there will be custom ROMs that take froyo to the next level.
Wait wait wait...a T-Mobile representative said the first week in September? That goes against the opinion of several members of this forum. Are you sure that was said?

I personally will update ota then root when its available ....

so does that mean even with 2.2 our phones will still lag?????? this is lame...too many issues with that lag fix people are reporting. and then im wondering if people who report "perfect, love it" ever come back to report issues when something goes wrong, or do they just quietly flash back without letting anyone know.

We have no idea what the 2.2 update will change, so there's no way to tell whether or not the perceived lag issues will still exist. Let's not spread speculation...it tends to end up being interpreted as fact by some people.

I tried RyanZA's 2-3 lag fix and had major problems with Google Maps after a while. I'm going to wait and see how the stock 2.2 performs before I do any more tweaking. Even then I'll probably wait for a stable custom ROM with a lag fix cooked-in...there are too many variables involved with re-partitioning the phone for me to trust a scripted installer 100% of the time.
I just called T-Mobile, and the rep I was given said she had no idea, but logging into your MyT-Mobile account might show some more information.
Just curious?

Can you clarify why when FroYo comes out it will require a different root procedure? I did not realize rooting was in any way related to the particular Android version. Going back to G1/MT3G days, once it was rooted, it was rooted, and then I flashed ROMS from Cupcake to FroYo as they came and never had to do any re-roots, that I can recall? I'm actually thinking the opposite of your thoughts. I've never had any lag with Eugene's V6, so I'm inclined not to update what works well (assuming what you said is correct) until "root for FroYo" is available. Being rooted allows you to do too many things, so I ain't gonna fix something that ain't broken now.

Yes, google has no control on this flash update. Except it was actually adobe who said that flash will be available today. I'm sure it'll be on the market before the end of the day though, or else they (adobe) would've said something about it ( I hope) ..

Its a market update not part of the system and not supported by OTA.
OTAS are for os and firmware updates only. Not for optional buggy programs
www.redcardgreencard.com
i don't see it in the market yet. What are you all searching for that you're finding it?
Flash does neither appear in the MyApps on my Xoom nor in the Market itself. Where would I then see the option to update? FYI - I used the Flash.apk that was published here in another thread....

Why then is it not in the market. Unless you're full of it, given your track record...
I am waiting to see if the leaked copy allows for auto update on market. I downloaded Dish Remote (Slingbox Player for DishDVR), which is free and originally available on my Droid X, but it did not allow it on the Xoom. It has now since migrated to be available in marketplace for Xoom.
I got the original apk from another site a few days ago, from the initial release not available for the Xoom. Yesterday my apk I download and installed out of market with no listing in the "my apps" popped up in "myapps" area to update it to the latest version. Updated like I had downloaded the original from the market.
It appeared it populated in the myapps area once the unapproved version for Xoom moved over to the available side of the tablet market.

[Q] can you still perm root your shift?? after the new update

some ask me and i dont know my self but can you still perm root your shift after the new update GB 2.3.3.??
and if so can anyone shared the easy way to do it ?
Nope, nobody has found the exploit in it yet. if you do the update, you are stuck without root for now...neither perm nor temp work. I totally screwed myself.

The only thing I really NEEDED to be rooted for was tethering. So, for now I'm using PDAnet. It's only USB and Bluetooth, but good enough until somebody fixes the rooting problem. Otherwise i actually LIKE Gingerbread.

I just got a new one due to a bad speaker, and it's a refurb. Doesn't have the update installed, so if I get the ambition I'm going to have to root the new one today, and run the RUU on the old one later tonight lol.

Pay for the wifi hotspot?
i already pay 90 a month.. sprint gets enough. i tried tethering with usb using pdanet and then once it was connected i set up my computer as a router.. unfortunately pdanet's mtu setting is inadequate. wish i could revert to 2.2. but don't know how. just hope someone can break 2.3.3. i can still access bootloader. just remove the battery and volume down and power and that loads it but i can revert.and suggestions?
i did. im friends with the tech at mine and he said it wasnt a good idea.
You are going to have to be patient and wait for an exploit to be found like the rest of us. I'm about ready to re-activate my old Palm Pre and use it until this gets figured out...the wifi tethering works GREAT on it and it was EASY to hack/install and OTA updates don't kill it.
