I'm still waiting on the update. Dose it matter if I'm rooted or not and wll I lose root when the update hits?
I have had no update to my firmware as of yet.

2 things. Did I miss the update being released? And I have yet to load a leak because I need infrastructure wifi. The update will remove your root and you will need to re root after you get it. Also, the update probably won't install ota if you aren't running stock rom/kernel. At least the other updates haven't installed with modified stuff.

I thought 2.2 was suppose to b pushed nov 11 if I'm not mistaken. And I'm still running everything stock just rooted.
Could any one reccomend a good coustom 2.2 kernal to flash to? I don't think I wanna wait too long for 2.2
2.2 source is not out yet. No custom kernels until it's released.

I've been using the quantum rom for a couple days now and the only problem I've had so far is it force closes when I try to use my flashlight program. Other than that everything works great so maybe you should flash it if you want 2.2 right now.

the OTA hasnt been pushed yet. if you are rooted already, you will lose root.
if you're not running custom ROM/kernel you won't get the OTA.

You mean if you are running a custom rom. What about clock work? Will that cause any ota problems?

I stand corrected.. oversight on my part. Custom ROM/kernel will not get the OTA notification.
If you have the stock ROM/kernel, you'll get the OTA notification.
If you're rooted and using stock ROM, you'll lose root. Might lose custom recovery as well, but I'm not sure on that.
What I'd recommend, if you ARE rooted and you have custom recovery (clockwork), then wait for the release (like we all are) and it WILL show up here.
The Devs/chefs are all over this and waitng just like everyone else.
Patience is the key.
I flashed back to 2.1 stock last night. I'm going to wait for 2.2 OTA before I root again. Then I will wait a couple weeks until some nice stuff gets cooked up here on xda and is nice and stable before I flash any custom 2.2 items. I can wait.
I'm pretty sure everyone is waiting..
Yeh I guess ill just wait...guy at the sprint store promised 2.2 by the end of october and 4g by the end of november. I guess they will say any thing to sell a phone -__-

I have been twiddling my thumbs for weeks waiting for the 2.2 OTA update. I got so impatient one night that I started downloading the necessary tools to root and install a leaked 2.2 version, but quickly settled down and decided to wait it out.
I also downloaded Samsung Kies; I am running Windows 7 64-bit, and the program will not boot from the .exe under any conditions (as administrator, under XP compatabilities, etc)... I have yet to even be able to see the program's interface or find any legitimate documentation for troubleshooting the software.
No complaints with the phone yet, but I am seriously disappointed that I have had to wait so long for 2.2... Samsung claims that this update will allow for quicker future Android updates, but I am taking that with a grain of salt considering the false announcements that have been made so far regarding its official release.

The only thing I dont like about the leaks is the lock screen lag.... If it wasn't for that I would be using it everyday!
Sorry if this has been answered before (I didn't mess with any leaked GB and scanned the other threads). Is z4root compatible with GB or does some other rooting method exists for GB? I'm going to hold off on doing the GB OTA update on my X if rooting it is not yet possible. Thanks.
We can use Gingerbreak to root gingerbread, but I'm not positive that it will work on the .596 update.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Gingerbreak roots gingerbread, however it will not work on the OTA
Fair warning from P3Droid, you might permanently lose root if you accept the GB OTA. They haven't found a way to root it yet. Excellent chance that they will, but no guarantees.

Not all HTC devices. Just the upcoming ones and not any that were already coming out
For those of you who unrooted and installed the Gingerbread OTA update, here's how to root it by unrooting to 2.2 then using the regular 2.2 root method.
You need to go back to 2.2 for now which isn't a big deal and takes 5 minutes.

The same thing happened when OTA 3.70 came out. Then people *****ed until a root method became available. Couldn't wait the couple of hours until a Dev posted a rooted ROM. No sympathy here.

Who said that would happen. Consensus was that it was going to be sense 1.0 since we got the april leak. And htc never said anything about a sense ui upgrade. Why dont you pick one of the many sense 2.1 roms availible. All are smooth and great bases for future roms.

well since the sense sdk is coming, hopefully itll make the newer sense roms more stable
ok, so if the bootloader is still locked(which was predicted that htc's policy wasnt retro active). Did they at least "not" patch the rageagainstthecage exploit? If they did that sucks(well, it sucks for the noobs that unrooted to get it at least, instead of waiting an hour later).Hopefully the exploit still works for GB.

Gingerbreak
I've already tried every method on 2.3, Z4root doesn't work, Vision root doesn't work, Gingerbreak doesn't work, hence why you can still root it by going back to 2.2 RUU. For now, this will get most people rooted. not sure about the errors some people are getting yet.
I am getting the error as well.

Nobody is asking for your sympathy, fag stick! Why don't you hold down the button on the top of your EVO. When the screen turns black, just walk away so the actual professionals do what no one has ever accomplished. Innovation is what pays the rent and the rent is just too damn high. Stain me.

Most likely a rooted 2.2 evo running a rooted stock 2.3 gingerbread rom; this has to be the case as there is no root for gingerbread.
Obviously.

what is a 2.2 rooted gingerbread rom? That doesnt even make sense.
There is absolutely root for stock gingerbread, just not if you accepted the OTA.
This guy probably just updated the phone to a pre-rooted Sprint EVO gingerbread rom obtained from right here on XDA.

Maybe so, but it got more attention than it should have, so it had to be fixed.
Though on the point, its people like him that scam everyone into buying something its not, then let someone new to xda buy it then start a thread of 'I HAVE S-OFF GINGERBREAD ROOT!'
Just calling it now.
I got mine at Best Buy even. First thing I did was CANCEL the firmware check it tried to do. Figured if it was already at 2.3 no harm would be done. Checked the firmware version and sure enough, it says 2.2. Gonna keep it there till a perm root for 2.3 comes around.
Root it right now you idiot.

Just install one of the many custom gingerbread roms once its rooted, you never have to take on ota to update your phone, thats the best part of rooting, once its rooted upgrade or downgrade your os when ever you want, i rooted on 2.2 still have the eng bootloader and im running the most packed sense gingerbread roms for the shift its almost 3.0

Yeah I will probably keep the stock ROM for a while with only a very basic root. I can ignore the OTA as long as I want, right? I won't wake up one day with 2.3 installed without my permission will I?

No, you'll have to manually accept the update. There's actually a way to turn off the ota notification, its just been so long since I've used a Sense ROM I don't remember exactly where it is in settings.

Well I'm sure I will decide to flash a ROM but for now I think I'll just get used to the phone as close to stock as I can. Thanks for the info about the OTA. I think I figured out how to keep it from checking for updates.

Just go to settings/system updates/ htc software update/ turn off automatic system check
Just root, then flash a rooted version of the stock 2.3.3 ROM. Then you have the latest stock and perm root.

With all the support here at xda, as long as you have recovery your probably not going to break anything... but do what your comfortable with. Enjoy your rooted Shift.
Yeah I'll get around to putting a new ROM on sooner or later. Root first though. I really like Sense though so I'll probably go with one of those ROMs.
