2.2 froyo question

Hey guys, just curious since I havent gotten a chance to use a rooted phone yet.
-When google comes out with 2.2 froyo update, are we able to update it from a rooted rom or does it have to be under stock condition?

+1. will be going from cyan to stock again when froyo comes out. but how?

You'd probably have to wait until someone post the stock rom of froyo, and then flash that.

Or flash on of the numerous stock ROMs that already exist, and get OTA like the rest of us.

Or wait for cyan for his release which I believe will be soon after the official release.

You will have to wait until either someone posts a stock 2.2 ROM that world with rooted phones or someone like cyanogen updates.
Once a different recovery is installed on the phone, the OTA system will never work again. Not even if you go back to stock.

This is a complete non issue. The stock 2.2 rom may very well be available to flash here before you recieve the ota if its a rolling release. If not it will be a close race. BTW, The ota looks for a stock officially signed recovery to install itself with, if you do not have one the ota will fail.

Just out of interest (I am not making any judgements), why do you want to go from CM to stock as opposed to a CM modded version of 2.2?
Or are you just assuming 2.2 will drop before CM has time to mod it so want to get on it asap?

ill just wait for cyano to release its froyo version...

I'd be willing to bet that the features present in 2.2 will reach a version of CM before they reach any non-rooted N1. I'm just saying... we already have some of the features currently, i.e. customizable trackball notifications.

that really just depends on when google pushes the sources of 2.2 into AOSP. so chances are that a stock 2.2 will be available sooner than a cyanogen 2.2, but it will be worth the wait

That's not true. I did a warranty replacement a while back and restored the phone to stock before sending it back. I used the SAPPIMG.zip method to restore the shipping ROM, recovery, and radio. After rebooting and setting up the phone, I was offered the OTA update and the OTA completed successfully. Being bootloader unlocked did not affect my ability to get OTA updates.

A little confusion here it seems and I will throw out my understanding. An ota will work if it does not have to access an officially signed recovery, if it does and does not find one it will fail. Once you have installed a custom recovery going back to the stock one will not help in this regard because it is no longer officially signed. 2.2 will require an officially signed recovery to install and everything I read says it will be seen, it will download, then it will fail to install. If this is incorrect than I look forward to learning more about this question as it keeps popping up over and over. I have yet to hear from any owner who was able to update from 2.0 to 2.1 after having installed a custom recovery, seems like there would have been many....

Finally got dust under my screen

Just noticed it this morning. Sux. I took it to sprint repair and they said they'd give me a new hero. I think she said, shes pretty sure they come with 1.5 on them but wasnt 100 percent sure. I'm not ready to give up my phone cuz its rooted running DC 2.0.8 and I'm happy with it.
Official 2.1 isn't even rootable yet right? So if I get another hero, it has to be with 1.5 on it correct?
I was mentioning this to her, and she was curious why I wanted 1.5. I told her I did things with my phone, but didn't wanna go into detail about how I ROOT it. Not sure if they care or should know that I'm rooting the phone. Cuz I'm guessing it would void the warranty right? So I didn't tell her my reasoning for wanting 1.5...

2.1 official has been rooted, but to the best of my knowledge the post-release .6 OTA update has not been worked around.

yes, it is rooted also. basically you use the .5 ruu then root that.

ya but how would I know if the new phone had .5 or .6, it would show that in the about screen? So I'd have to look at the phone before they officially gave it to me?

Both of them can be rooted. If you get a .6 phone, just run the .5 RUU as stated above then root.

It shouldn't matter which version of 2.1 it has Chugger. Regaw has posted step by step instructions on how to root a Hero with stock 2.1 and if your new one comes with version .6, Regaw has a link to download the RUU (version .5) and you can run that then follow his instructions to root it.
You can find all the instructions here

I'm pretty new around here so I can't post links yet, but you can cut and paste the above address without the quotes in the address bar, you just need to put the http tag in front.

How did you even manage that?.... Didn't read?

Does this mean we will lose root? I love all the options and features of root but it would be nice to have a solid froyo rom.

nevermind. i think i have to unroot before i can do the update.

lol, I just nandroided back to CM6 this morning.
How do you guys think FroYo will run on the MT3G? I predict not well! I'm almost thinking I'd rather stay rooted on Donut or CM6 so I can at least overclock it.

Too bad I've got the 1.2.

CM6 = Froyo and it flys and works great. Why wouldn't the tmo froyo release run well? And what rom were you using that you had to nandroid to CM6? I'm confused by your post.

I predict we won't get the OTA update if we're rooted, and if we are it will most likely wipe out root access. I'm gonna need to reinstall that stupid amazonmp3 apk and unroot so I can get this stupid update.
If I don't like it I'm gonna SAPPIMG.nbh back to 1.5 so I can use flashrec to get amon_ra back and then nandroid back to 1.6.
Jebus, I feel like I'm speaking in tongues, lol.

most ROMs disable OTA updates.
and no way would I revert back to stock until it's confirmed that the official 2.2 doesn't somehow break root access.

Give the Devs until Thursday. and they will have the OTA with root to flash on our phones (if you want it). I, personally, won't go back to stock after tasting CM goodness!

Does anyone know where I can get the nbh file , and radio link to unroot? I have tried all the links on this site and none works anymore!

No radio update needed, the nbh file will take care of all of that.
Just copy this to the root of your SD card, boot into the bootloader (vol down + power), hit apply update and let it do it's thing.
DON'T restore anything through TiBa or mybackup until AFTER you've received the ota update. Should take about a day or two of the phone being on and connected to 3G.

The MT3G just doesn't have enough ram to support an OS this large. CM6 is good but still way slower than oem 1.6 w/androot and overclock.
I rooted a few months back by using sappimg and flashrec, then installed CM5 with mediocre results. I got sick of the instability and unrooted. Then I rooted the stock 1.6 w/universal androot, overclocked it, and left it alone for a while.
A week or so ago I backed up my oem 1.6 w/root, then I flashed CM6. 3 or 4 days ago I backed up my CM6 and went back to my nandroid of oem1.6 w/root. This time I ditched CM due to crazy bad battery life and the phone running way hot. I suspected it would have done better with compcache disable but I got sick of screwing with it.
This morning I nandroided back to CM6 to screw around with it some more, (wanted to disable compcache and give it another shot) but just now I'm going back to the oem donut again because froyo is inherently slow on a phone with this little ram, although disabling compcache helped a bit. Also the gallery is too slow to use.
Does that make more sense? Basically I'm indecisive and keep switching back and forth, lol.

Can we all start posting like this please?

OK quick question...because I am finding conflicting information on the web
All agree that you cannot root Gingerbread 2.3.3 yet directly
…but….
…can you roll Gingerbread 2.3.3 back to Froyo 2.2?
Then root Froyo?
Most seem to say no you cannot roll back (including Sprint...I tried them)
But this guy is saying yes you can…(watch video and go pass his joking around at first) htcevohacks how-to-root-htc-evo-4g-gingerbread-2-3
I would like other opinion if this is doable? (and have done it) I want to root but took the ota 2.3.3 before I got around to it
...Im not sure I trust this guy know all that going on to try this and not end up bricking my phone....
I want more than one opinion before I and othet's get walked off a cliff if it is wrong
Again this is for a evo that has neve been rooted but bone stock that took the OTA update to gingerbread 2.3.3 can you roll back to Froyo, then root Froyo... or is there a big "gotya!" hiding?
Im a Network Engineer and don’t do jack on production gear (in this case my own phone till I know what's going on backwards and forwards
Even if this is just bad info out on the web a heads up warning will be nice

That article was dated January 19th. The current comments are all failures, getting Wrong Bootloader message.
This method won't work. Unfortunately, you will need to wait like the rest of us.

Ah trying to root my fathers phone until I got the firmware is to new message? Then found this after seeing he updated.. ha! Thank god I'm rooted. Lol

If you were previously rooted and your bootloader security is set to "s-off" then you can reinstall 2.2. Otherwise, you're SOL until an exploit for 2.3 can be found.

lame, is there anyway we can tether with this sense the hotspot app is disabled by default? does pdanet work?

So a big fat caveat that should be up front …it all about locked or unlocked NAND(S-ON/S-OFF)…
So first question: Taking Gingerbread 2.3.3 will unroot your phone but will not relock NAND (S-ON)?
And second question :If you need to service your phone and have to put back to stock you would need to relock NAND (S-ON) as a final step to be truly, truly, stock?
Reason I ask it this
Person “A” states (like guy in video) “I unrooted and went to stock Froyo 2.2 on my evo and did OTA update to Gingerbread 2.3.3” ..(but he still can roll back because its still unlocked NAND(S-OFF)...so big woop...what the hell did he prove?)….
Person “B” states (like someone return to stock for Sprint service) “I unrooted and went to stock Froyo 2.2 on my evo and am locked NAND(S-On) so Sprint will not know”
So between Person “A” and Person “B” what the different step that gives stock Froyo 2.2 unlocked NAND(S-OFF)….and stock Froyo 2.2 locked NAND(S-ON) for service return?

Noobs rule!

Friends EVO stuck on 2.1 Update 1 lol

Phone is stock as a whistle. She always denied the OTA cause she was afraid of getting charges from the warning it stated even tho shes on an unlimited plan. Any who, I updated the phone twice but its still 2.1. My question is, can I keep it stock and flash an update or do I have to root? I am familiar with the rooting process and im sure its easy since its an old version. And if I have to root I mine as well flash a ROM.... any suggestions on ROMs or flashing stock OTAs
would be looking for a GB Rom unless there is something very good and stable for ICS

Team D.I.R.T. cm9 is the most stable ics rom out in my opinion. So if ur gonna go thru the trouble of rooting it, y not throw some ice cream sandwich on there.

What version does it show? I think there were a couple of updates before 2.2, as I understand it you'd have to do each one in order.
ETA: Yeah, if you look here there is a list of the OTA's that came out for this phone, looks there were two on 2.1 before the update to 2.2. Looks like about 9 to go...

Actually, it's 7 updates (8 if the latest one has been pushed) because some of them will be skipped. OTA is the long way, and 3.26 doesn't appear to push to the phone anymore anyway, so you will be stuck on Android 2.1. The easiest way if you are just looking to update the phone is to run one of the latest Rom Utility Updates like this file.
http://goo.im/stock/supersonic/ruu/...15.00.12.19_NV_2.33_release_234563_signed.zip
Do not unzip it. Just rename it PC36IMG.zip (not PC36IMG.zip.zip, easy to do). Place the file on the SD card. Power off the phone, then hold the volume down + power buttons. If there are not any SD card issues, it should go through a process, then ask you do you want to update, which you should say yes.
And yes, you could also root the phone and then flash a custom ROM if you choose not to take the update. Since it's still on 2.1, unrevoked at www.unrevoked.com would be the easiest root method. There are at least 2 others, but they are a mess.

Thanks for the directions above man it worked like a charm... except the contact sync lol but she has Instagram! lol she wanted to stay stock
