[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] PuvMan:
Thanks fathertomany - perhaps I will temporarily unroot - apply the udpate, then root again...... keeping my fingers crossed! Before rooting I did try checking for updates multiple times, but it told me there were none!

Another issue I'm wondering if others have seen - every few days the phone will not make/receive calls. It shows it has signal, but when attempting to make a call it immediately hangs up. Enabling/Disabling Airplane mode, or rebooting fixes it, but wondering if this is a common issue. I am also wondering if this firmware update addresses this issue.... trying to google to find out!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fathertomany:
I have had 2 different versions of firmware on the two phones that I have had. I was never offered an OTA. The people I know that were updated before we even had a way to root but your update may be different. I doubt it though. It is probably the same as others and may a dress by he calling issues. Rooting the phone would not cause anything.

Thanks again - will attempt it tomorrow after backing up the root:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] PuvMan:
So I just downloaded OTA Rootkeeper - but it is not compatible with the V768 - it doesn't recognize that the phone is rooter. What I did was go into Superuser and checked "ota survival" in the info section. Then I applied the OTA

The OTA took under 5 seconds to apply, so it def wasn't a full system update - not sure what it did update, but long story short, the phone still has root access!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fathertomany:
AWESOME TO HEAR. What is your current build?

This didnt happen to me when I rooted. I recently did the OTA update. I didnt lose root when I did it,but now it does exactyl what yours does.Its the OTA update.Im going to backup with titanium backup and see if it keeps doing it after a factory reset.

I just did a factory reset and it didnt do it,AND I lost root.So I tried going into the dialer and entering #983*57# and resetting from there. It rebooted INTO recovery and ran some sort of automated procedure involving the simlock nv file. Then it came up and I rooted it again.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fathertomany:
That was his problem with getting into recovery. He did a factory reset and was then able to get into recovery.

Build Number: V768V1.0.0B08, this is the same as before.

I wish I checked the baseband and kernel before doing the update!

Baseband: PascalIIB01.V0.0.1

Kernel: 2.6.35.7+ zte-kernel@droid #1

One thing I haven't done is remove the Tmobile "System Manager" services - I didn't because I did not know if that would break anything. I wonder if the update was related to those services.

Hi, I have a quick question before rooting. Is it unrootable? How do you unroot? Thanks! :D

Okay.. So I basically just have to uninstall the unRoot apps like superuser and such, then do a factory reset through the recovery mode, right?

Thank you very much! :D

And, I forget where, but, delete the sun file in one of the system's folder

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fathertomany:
Rooting would be safe as long as you install busy box then remove the apps that need root permissions. E.G. root file browser and such. Without root the phone sucks. You need link2sd for the memory. You can uninstall the busybox app. That will not remove the installed busy box binaries.

Sent from my 4.3 BEANSTALK Hercules using Xparent BlueTapatalk
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fathertomany:
Easiest way to keep root and safe guard program settings is to get an app locker and lock ALL apps that need root access. Apps like busy box, link2sd, root file managers and such.

This phone sucks without root.

Re: Tethering/Hotspot

To get around the tethering block download Hotspot Toggle Widget from the play store. Once you have that downloaded add the widget to your homescreen and turn on the hotspot. The stock hotspot app will give you a notification in the statusbar saying "Mobile Hotspot is active".

Here's the link directly from the play store you'll have to edit it a bit though(New User limit:

You know I think I did delete some of the bloatware at the very beginning b/c this phone was almost full after running a few updates on the original apps. Any idea how I could get this stuff back? I'm still relatively new to android. Haven't been doing much with this phone.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fathertomany:
What were you doing right before the boot loop started?

If it may be something that you deleted, Look for contingency. Bloatware is one thing and ok to delete. You may have deleted a system app that the phone needs to boot, thinking that it was ok. Something as simple as the calendar can do this. This phone is NOT deodexed. Meaning apps that can be deleted from a custom Rom CANNOT be deleted from our stock Rom.

See, my phone has been doing the random-restart thing for a few months now. Maybe once a week. It was never such a big issue that I felt I needed to go through the effort of fixing, though. All of a sudden in the past few days it's gone from a once a week (if that) problem to a 60-70 times in two days problem. So I don't remember exactly what I removed because I removed it back in April or May.
