I just received an notification for my phone saying I have a system update available. Should I just ignore it, or it is save to do so? Since my phone is rooted and unlocked and I might perform an eng-off, radio and custom rom flash this weekend.
Please advice.

Don't really understand what your trying to say! I would recommend, as Kali himself does, flashing one of the newer radios as they all seem to improve battery life, the most recommended one is Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF although I am currently running Radio_12.28g.60.140f_26.05.05.27_M3
which seems fine to me.

You'll need ENG h-boot if something goes awry in the flashing as it allows you to issue fastboot commands which can save a potentially bricked phone, plus it is the only way you can currently flash the new radio

thanks for your advice
would the efficiency of the radio varies from phone to phone or network to network?
since I am doing this whole process slate clean, which order would u recommend I install them in? roms, radio, kernel?
well, i'd definately do the rom last, as you would probably have to reinstall it after patching a new radio anyway.
Just flashed Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF.
So it doesn't matter if I flash the kernel or the rom first right?

Do any of you guys know whats in the new rom RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.1_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_142189_signed.exe up on shipped-roms ?
If its the 2.2 update would it be possible to extract the rom and intall it with custom recovery ?
I don't know but I don't think its an update to Froyo...
Because when the Desire get the 2.2 update, the build number became 2.XX.XXX
But nothing's sure until someone install it
I'm scared of installing it because I don't want to loose the Clockwork recovery (I don't know if it could delete it or not) and because I didn't reveive any OTA notification.
PS: Sorry for my english I'm Belgian.

You're correct in saying this is not 2.2. However you can run the RUU and re-root using unrevoked3.
The updated rom feels very snappy, and scrolling seems smoother.
Yeah i just realised my stupidity , obviously it would be 2.2xxxxxx if it had been the froyo update .
Oh well at least thats my phone debranded from 3uk and my phone definitely seems to be running much faster .
Or.. just flash latest WildPuzzleROM
its based that RUU

I have a question, if i de-brand my 3 Wildfire, would the free skype/messenger still work, because as far as i know unless your using a branded 3 phone, skype/messenger wont work, even if your using a 3 sim.

Well i can confirm that if you're in the UK both msn and skype will still work perfectly once you have debranded from 3 . I'd imagine the same would be true outside of the UK too , as long as your using a 3 sim card i really cant see a problem .

Just check what software version it's running. 99% positive it'll be 2.1, in which case it can be rooted, incredibly easily, by following here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788776
Then if you want Froyo, flash either WildFire or Puzzle. Or wait a bit for CyanogenMod.

Hi everyone,

Just flash a Froyo RUU (Starting with 2.x) from the Shipped ROMs site:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=windows mobile&model=Buzz
i already did that but i will try it again. It wont harm my phone
You are already updated then. There is no official release after Android 2.2.1
I did that with android 2.1 not with 2.2

I hope u know that (froyo = android 2.2.1) and (eclair = android 2.1)
BTW, I saw only one froyo RUU in the buzz shipped roms website till date (excluding cn one). It is named like RUU_BUZZ_FROYO_HTC_WWE . It applies to u if ur device is debranded one. No matter what ur device is it even applies to u on making a gold card.
Then if ur device is carrier specific or regional specific then u can also do ota update manually. Download OTA_BUZZ_FROYO.zip of ur region . Rename it to update.zip and put it in the root of memory card (fat32). Then power off the device. Then hold volume down + power key. U will see hboot menu. After 10sec, then select recovery (power button for selection and vol keys for navigation) . Then u will see a red triangle. Now press vol up + power. Then it shows the option something like "apply sdcard update". Go with that. Make sure u have enough battery before doing this.
And ur phone can also be sold without updating I think. As the eclair one is also stock.
Hey If I want to install the ROM that came with the phone which one of the two should I use

OR
OTA_Buzz_Froyo_hTC_Asia_India_2.25.720.1-1.25.720.1_release_161546bwou4mclajggz2mu.zip which is only 58.3 MB
My phone is still unrooted. I would like to have a backup of the Original ROM ready just in case since my phone is still under warranty. Btw why is there a huge diff in size between the two ROMS?? Thanks a lot!!

The second is a ZIP which only contains the Froyo Update. It is not an RUU. So, your choice is limited to the first one.
My phone specs currently are :
Android version : 2.2.1
Baseband Version : 13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10
Kernel version : 2.6.32.21
Build Version : 2.25.720.1
Software number : 2.25.720.1
So can I use the RUU first to install the Android OS and then use the OTA to update???

Ok.
But presently there is no option to revert back to stock if u use alpharevX. Reverting back requires "hboot downgrader" which is yet to be released by alharevX. But I think it will not take much time .
Ok. Think again before going with alharevX. And if u make s-off do not make hard reset untill u make a nandroid backup.

He didn't have S-OFF. As for whether you want to root, it's totally your decision. BTW, pretty much everyone's Wildfire's here are still under warranty atleast officially, because if I am not mistaken it was launched in July 2010.

Yeah that's what I figured too. Thanks a lot for giving me the info. And yeah your right it was released in July 2010, so most of the phone have been rooted whilst they were under warranty.
One more question, If I do plan to root my phone using the alpharevX method, is there any way of recovery if something does go wrong???
I'm planning to use the CM 7.0.3 stable version. Any idea of how good it is??
I really appreciate your help!
I cannot say that with 100.00% certainty, because, its writes your HBoot, which is an extremely sensitive process, but, seeing how no one has got a bricked phone so far (If there are issues, all of them are resolvable, and, in all cases, the process fails, leaving the phone as it was before), you should be safe, if you do decide to go for it.

If u have issues with hboot 1.01.0002 then u can downgrade it to hboot 1.01.0001 by the process given by ieftm which will be in the wildfire dev section. But I haven't heard issues with Indian hboot 1.01.0002 if I'm correct.

As far as I know, so far Sense 3.0 only ships with the HTC Sensation. Sense 2.1 is the correct version for your stock HTC DHD Rom, you shouldn't worry
So this back to stock ROM, does this return everything back to normle so un roots, radio on. All that?

Can anyone confirm that it is safe to take your phone to Tmobile and have them update the software on a rooted mytouch 4g? I just want to make sure I am not going to brick my phone...

you should be good to update but you will lose your root and there is no way to root 2.3.4 right now
It's safe I took mine in and did it

I agree but i guess thats the price you pay to get the stock 2.3.4 right now
I spent most of the weekend researching what to do about this very thing. I was rooted but stock rom. I figured I needed a decision on what I was going to do before the OTA arrived.
After a lot of research I decided to go full S=off and install the Virtuous Unity ROM. I like Sense and it is a 3.0 ROM. If you wait for TMOB you'll only get 2.1.
EVERYTHING in this ROM works. None of the
"YOU GET THREADED TEXT MESSAGES!!! but the camera doesn't work"
Like in the bad old days of windows rooting.
I only wish I'd done this 6 months ago.
Yea every thing works but im wondering wit s off no root what can u do ?

Is it your intention to return to stock and run the phone unrooted with the 2.3.4 update or are you just concerned about having 2.3.4 on your phone? If you are looking for the most recent version of of Android OS, then MIUI is currently running 2.3.5... If you havent tried GenerationX mysense ROM, it is the newest update with bloat removed and i think there isnt anything broken with the faux's .7 kernel. Try it if you like stock, I bet you will like it.
I just want to get this straight, if someone can give an answer. My wife's phone currently has iced glacier and I want to go stock GB. If I take the phone to a Tmo store and ask for the update, it will take the phone back to stock and unroot? If so should I at least uninstall super user?

You could go to the store or you can download the same T Mobile sdcard update that Gr33nF0x posted http://megaupload.com/?d=N8XGHXJC (IF YOU ARE ROOTED YOU WILL LOSE IT)
1. Download the PD15IMG.zip file posted
2. Put file on the root of your sdcard (don't put it in any folder)
3. go to settings/applications make sure fastboot is unchecked (on 2.2.1)
4.power off
5. push and hold volume down and power till you get into hboot
6. it will scan file when its done it should ask you to update push volume up

The answer is yes. If you load the update, whether download the one on the forums here or update at T-mo you will lose root. No need to uninstall superuser, because the update will wipe all data.
Thanks guys for the quick response.

Why do you wanna go to being unrooted? There's rooted versions of the OTA here.

Its my wifes phone and dosent need to mod it just needs to work properly. If I was to go the route of updating it with the rooted update, would I just need to flash through CW? To be honest I don't have much expreince with this phone as you can tell by how old her current rom is. Atleast with my phone its pretty much unbrickable, on this phone I wouldn't know how to recover if it did. I figure if tmobile does the update they are responsible for it. Is someone willing to post the steps for me?

If you want T Mobile to do it go to your local store let them do the sdcard update witch is the same as the one I posted one page back (Thanks goes to Gr33nF0x for uploading it) or wait for the OTA
