This sucks... just got a mt4gs and it updated while at work. I had no idea it was not gonna be rootable :-/
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
have you checked your HBOOT just to make sure? i'm not positive, but i thought i read that some phones can actually ship with S-OFF? if you do happen to be S-OFF, you do at least have the option of reverting back to before the recent update, to a rootable state.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] overhauling:

by any chance, did they say that they would try and get around to cracking the new update?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] pottyvick:
I tried to ask and they kept saying no ETAs on IRC... so Never found anything out :-/
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Morphine_OD:
They just told me they are already looking for new exploits since HBOOT 1.5 became available, but also they told me that I shouldn't hold my breath and most likely it's not happening any soon
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
lol, that's cool, just that they would try and do it is all i would have wanted to know. hopefully they will :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] pottyvick:
Funny thing is thats what I kept asking... if they were even looking into it... but they kept pasting the same "no eta's" message
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
Ah, gotcha. I guess they get a lot of people bugging them all the time about stuff, haha. We'll have to wait and see what happens.

Funny thing is, I am running this unrooted and not even noticing THAT much difference to when I had rooted stock before. Although there could be some extra data collection going on...

And yes, very true, Morphine.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Morphine_OD:
Surely because it's hard to estimate something that is only in research phase.

The only reason I want root is to uninstall the bloatware
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
If anyone applied the update, please extract your /system folder via ADB, zip it up, and post it online somewhere and let us know where it is so we can get this problem patched up.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
Is there any improvement to this update? Like, say, better battery life?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jonnycat26:
Better battery life and better benchmark scores (all mentioned earlier in the thread).

Upgrade does wonders for the battery

On Tuesday I was having battery issues where my MT4GS was just shutting off when I had well over 1/4 battery left, so I ordered a new Anker battery. Low and behold HTC/T-Mobile release an update and the battery issues are completely gone and it seems like the phone is running faster.

Here are some screen shots of the new kernel and software version numbers.

Thanks HTC! Glad to see that they're continuing support for this phone.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:

Yeah, several of us have made it all the way to fastboot flashing the unlock code successfully, but the unlock screen doesn't show up on the phone like it's supposed to. Possibly something needs to be fixed on HTC's end.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mikeysmith281:

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
My suggestion is this: Contact HTC, tell them to stop crippling development and subsequently screwing their consumer base, and release an AOSP ROM or you'll take your business to another manufacturer when it's time for an upgrade.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jonnycat26:
Or how about this: Contact HTC, as I've done, and tell them there's a problem with their tool. Once they fix it, flash an AOSP ROM of your choice.

Leave off the quasi-ridiculous demands (sense is their bread and butter). Making those sort of demands just turns companies off.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
No, once people's money goes to other manufacturers (I'm curious to see how Google is going to handle Motorola Mobile), HTC will realize what they did wrong.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ymmp:
My software version is 1.28.531.10 - is that the one right before the latest OTA or are there any others in between?

Also, since I still have the chance to Root, is there any reason to go with the new OTA instead? It seems like either way it's a waiting game - if I Root and use custom ROM then I have to wait for improved radio, etc of new OTA. On the other hand, if I install new OTA then I'll have to wait to root and get all its advantages.

Is that correct? Also which is more likely to happen sooner (unlock new OTA or bring new OTA pluses to already Rooted phones?)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
if you turn S-OFF now, you will give yourself the option to downgrade back if you don't wanna stay with the update. if you have S-ON and do the update, you will be at the mercy of HTC fixing the bootloader unlock tool so that it works properly. it is a waiting game either way, but putting S-OFF now gives you the most freedom.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sgtmedeiros:
Once again, htcdev method does NOT truly unlock bootloader. Try loading the cwm img manually. I have owned an evo 3d, same situation. You have to manually boot recovery every time

Fastboot boot (recovery.img)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] OmsagroSylph:
I have tried this and it fails with Main Version is Older.

I tried editing the android-info.txt but it corrupts the zip in such a way where it doesn't trigger the update, but doesn't give an error message.

Any suggestions?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
so you are S-OFF on the newest update and getting an error? have you made sure that you got the full file downloaded(432.4 MB), and that the file fully transferred onto your sdcard? the first time i tried the PG59IMG.zip, i was also getting an error and i thought something was wrong with it, but it turned out i had gotten an incomplete download of the file.

other than that, i'm not sure... it did work for me.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] OmsagroSylph:
It is a warranty replacement that I wanted to play with before modifying.

I turned it on, applied the OTA. Grabbed the stock and tried to roll back. No go.

I found a thread that someone started with the same error, which is where I saw to try changing the version in the txt file. I'm gonna read it over again, and try a new download, I just thought I'd ask you since you have done it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
ah ok, that's cool. is the phone S-OFF? if so it oughta work eventually, i would think. but if you did the update with S-ON then you are stuck, unfortunately.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] OmsagroSylph:
That could perhaps be the problem. Huzzah for experimentation.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ptizzle:
I just flash the zip without problems.

Did the check update thing and updated it also.

But my version still say 1.28.531.10

They didn't give me latest update yet?

How I update to latest?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
Are you rooted at all? It's possible that the update you flashed was the first little OTA update that came out a few months back.

Anyway, if you aren't rooted and you are currently on 1.28.531.10, try going into settings and checking for another HTC software update. If it pops up, then just DL and install it. If not, it is also easy to DL the update from my post early in this thread and install it manually, if you don't feel like waiting for it.

cool, are you on software version 1.55.531.3? i didn't really know you could flash the update when you are rooted..... are you now on HBOOT version 1.45.0013?

i was rooted wit rev and hboot1.44 s-off

i then put 430mb flash and no more root.

did htc update and got old update

how do i install the latest ota wit that 40mb file?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
ah ok, i see. rename the 43.2 MB file to 'update.zip' and put it on the root of your sdcard. then boot into the bootloader and then into 'recovery'(or straight into recovery with 'adb reboot recovery'). once in recovery, press the volume up + power buttons at the same time to get the options to show up. choose Install Update from Sdcard, and then choose the update.zip.

edit: i'm not positive if you have to rename the file to update.zip. i did it that way and it worked, but it might also work just keeping the same name, and choosing to install that zip. also, did you check to see if the new update is also there in settings, in HTC Software updates?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mattlowry:
could you not rename a rooted rom to update.zip and flash it that way as well?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
unfortunately not, because a custom ROM wouldn't have the official manufacturer's signature required to install thru stock recovery.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Litesorrows:
Very Long Thread, but HTC Tools v3 may be able to temp root.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mattlowry:
the reason i mentioned it was because on the mt3gs that is the only way to load a rom is by update.zip. now i did root the phone but could not get s-off because of new bootloader but update.zip for cm7 worked just fine
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] pcmp:
According to this stoopid page http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-3045 you will have to wait until they fix some unknown problem with the update.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AgentCherryColla:
That's so stoooopid, so they release an update that kills Root, and S-Offf. Even tho' HTC allows us to have S-Off. That's a Carrier, and Maker deal. Why would they Release a Hboot that can't be unlocked. This is really pissing me off.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
Has anyone had a problem synching Twitter friends after the update. This is pretty small, but if I enable this in Accounts and Sync, the phone kind of freezes and lags horribly, and Accounts and Sync will force close. Can't remember if this was happening before, but I don't think so. I also am wondering if it could be a ROM thing or maybe a server issue.... or just me, haha.

Well I just got a new GS2 from Vodafone in Australia, I havent really used it much since I got it a few days ago because it wasnt activated yet, but now it has and I put it on charger and it gets extremely hot, I downloaded battery monitor and the temperature was in the 50s (Celsius)!

I just put it down for a while and it cooled right off so maybe it only gets extremely hot while charging and being used?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jzmtl:
Mine has gotten pretty warm playing games while charging in the summer, although not too hot to hold comfortably. Now it's winter and it barely gets warm doing the same.

So unless yours gets too hot to hold I'd say it's within the norm, but just to clarify, does it get hot just from charging or are you using CPU intensive apps at the same time?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CheckROM:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Repsys7:
While charging and just basic use like Facebook and stuff it got up to 51 but as soon as I put it down within 5-10 minutes it was back under 40. Is the problem most likely the battery or phone?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Repsys7:
Im not rooted, just on stock still.

Also with the update it seems to be getting a bit better, I was playing Minecraft while charging to see if it got hot, as well as some other games and it stayed at around 36 which isnt too bad is it?

Also dont know if it is just my new Sammy or all S2s but my screen isnt very bright at full brightness, and it is sort of dark like contrasted, again it might just be how its meant to look I'm not sure, just want to make sure theres nothing wrong while Its still new on warranty!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooza:
Dude people telling you that a boiling hot phone with stock are freaking nuts.No stock kernel should reach 50 DEG. ever althought 2.3.4 was well known for over heating problems and thats why with 2.3.5 you have noticed a drop to 36 which is quite acceptable but keep and eye on it cos the more apps you download the more it could rise cos the more apps there will be open in the back ground.As for the screen in my opinion,no its not normal.Ive flashed various kernels and when Ive flashed a bad one my screen has lost brightness and the whites have gone from white to almost a light brown or light grey and when I reflashed a new kernel to fix the problem my screen became bright and the whites glowed like super bright white.I beleive you have a kernel problem and if you can handle being without your phone a while then make use of your warranty and try to get it changed using this info to convince the service centre you have a faulty kernel.Its the best thing you can do if you want to stay on stock.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Repsys7:
Thanks for that mate yeah I remember hearing about the awesome s2 screen and then i wasn't that impressed but i think it might be mine!

Problem is i don't know if i have enough evidence for warranty.

Maybe i should just go root, but then if the overheating gets worst is it easy to go back to stock for warranty?

One last thing, so you think its a kernel problem? Will changing kernels completely fix the issue if it is a kernel problem?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooza:
If you want to root and give it a try`Id recommend a CF-Root kernel as they are basically stock rooted kernels just pimped up a bit and very simple to install and easy on your phone and battery.If you want to unroot you just reflash the stock kernel.Always advisable to buy a USB jig from ebay if you are going to start flashing.They cost around 2 to 5 bucks depending on where you live and it will clear your bin counter which counts the number of times you flash your phone.If you send it of under warranty and the counter is not at zero then the warranty is void.Good trick to know.

EDIT:Then again you could say that your phone reboots itself once a day so you think it might have a problem.They will send it of and most probably reflash the firmware and therefore the kernel also.Only problem is its a long time without your phone when you could do it at home yourself.But then again thats what a warranty is for if you want to stay stock.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] russ18uk:
Max brightness, charging, and playing a stressful game like gta 3 would put the phone at its hottest; in fact the firmware inn running disallows max brightness whilst on charge. I'd check Kies for an update; if it continues, go straight back and replace.

Also a case can help dissipate heat, or opposite, depending on material.

if you dont want to wait just get the rom from here http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html

and flash with fastboot you can do it with out wiping the phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qreffie:
If your phone is yakju and you have an unlocked bootloader you can just manually apply the update yourself. That's what I did and it works great. Here's a step by step: http://www.androidcentral.com/how-manually-update-your-gsm-galaxy-nexus-android-402-ota

Also having root or an unlocked bootloader won't stop you from getting OTA updates. You will lose root if you update OTA but the bootloader will remain unlocked until you lock it again yourself. Some custom roms have OTA's turned off but if you're still stock, you'll get the update if you wait. Give them some time, they're pushing this to all the Gal Nex phones plus 4.0.3 to the Nexus S. That's a lot of data floating around out there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lurchie85:
no problem to wait.so far everything works with 4.0.1. but it makes me a little bit angry that the nexus s get 4.0.3 earlier as my super new Smartphone galaxy nexus which is titled as new superphone by google and for ics.

and that i wait 5 or 6 days maybe longer to geht a update to a old version!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qreffie:
I'm pretty sure installing CWM doesn't break OTAs because the OTA would just write over the custom recovery. That's happened to me before on my Nexus S when I had it rooted with CWM recovery. After receiving an OTA it overwrote everything and I just chose to keep it that way.
