[G2 and Desire Z General] mr_roboto:
Hey everyone, does anyone know how to go from pre-OTA perm root to OTA perm root?

I'm assuming I need to fastboot flash the original recovery to get rid of clockwork, then OTA and perm root again?

All I really want is the new radio version. Can anyone confirm the right set of instructions to do this? Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z General] tasty-xda:
Have you considered pulling the OTA off manually and flashing it yourself instead of tinkering with your recovery image to let the system apply the update itself?

If you flash it yourself, then it should just be a matter of seeing if the Superuser apk is still there afterward, and if not, re-run Visionary or flash baconbits (which has it as well).
[G2 and Desire Z General] jaroque:
I'm having the same problem. Maybe I have to reflash the stock rooted kernel, but i'm getting an assert failed at the bcm4329.ko or whatever it is.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mr_roboto:
Are you saying to just flash the OTA with clockwork and S-OFF perm root? I will give this a try when I get home tonight.

I am also on baconbits 0.3, hmmm maybe we should try the guide going back to complete stock and starting over?
[G2 and Desire Z General] MARINERMOOSE241:
Anyone figure this out.... how to go from perm rooted to OTA perm rooted?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Andrew_Wiggin:
If I read the other threads correctly, you have to either 1) tinker with the OTA and remove its hboot or 2) OTA and then just perm root again
[G2 and Desire Z General] HomerSp:
I did 1) and it worked fine. If anyone wants I'll upload the changed OTA zip.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Andrew_Wiggin:
I won't stop you. I still think its easier to ota and perm root again...
[G2 and Desire Z General] mr_roboto:
jaroque helped me out big time on IRC but this is what I did with his help.

I started out pre-OTA with bacon bits 0.3

1. replace the bcm4239.ko in /system/lib/modules with the one in the stock rom. This is due to bacon bits replacing it . Also this will be a problem if you removed google goggles from /system/app

2. Reboot into clockwork, disable signature check, flash OTA.

At this point I got a E:command failure[firmware] or something like that, don't worry.

3. Now reboot back into OS, verify the new version number in About. Notice that the OS updated but the radio stayed the same. This is because of the firmware error.

4.http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=836081

Follow that guide to essentially flash the firmware part that was not flashed on the OTA.

5. Now I verified that I was on the OTA version and new radio.

6. Follow temp to perm root guide using rage, since VISIONary will not work.

EDIT: At this point flashing the firmware part restored original recovery, just get rom manager and restore clockwork

7. Flash bacon bits to restore wifi.

I really hope I did not miss any steps, so please do so with caution!

Also if you can follow the guide back to 100% stock, I would rather do that and go with the easy way with official OTA and then perm root.
[G2 and Desire Z General] AreOh:
Question: If I did the manual OTA can I go on the sd card and delete the update.zip? That wont take away the update will it or cause any other issues, will it?
[G2 and Desire Z General] johnbibbs:
You can delete it from your SD card without causing any problems.

[G2 and Desire Z General] ~~Tito~~:
I just want it so I can forward it to paul so he can take a crack at it and see if he can push root from a potential exploit in it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
It would be nice to share it too for all the potential add-ons like UMA/tethering/newer radio/etc. Of course, we need to find out if it is safe enough and doesn't patch our temp root access. Sheesh, I really need that newer radio version. The current build is crap just like the original one in the MTS before the OTA. Once its confirmed safe or patched, it will be nice to have because from what I remember... the OTAs come out in waves so everyone won't get it at once. Some may wait a couple of hours while others wait several days. But yeah... it'll be nice to see if Paul/G2ROOT IRC can find an exploit but it seems doubtful. Paul might already be pretty close anyways with the new ability to delete files permanently. Something still might evolve from that method... Things are looking up for the G2 this week, for sure;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] theratdude64:
So, to see if I understand it right... Once the URL is captured, and analyzed if it does patch temp root access, can it be modified and then released to us for manual updates minus the negative effects that are on the original update?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Ties0:
Looks like a good time I got my g2. :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
Yup... or hopefully, it'll be deemed safe for install directly. Either/or (the or being it will have to be patched first and manually flashed)... we'll get it and all its juicy benefits.

and its 9:45AM and if your post ID isnt set for your timezone it wont reflect the correct time.

OTOH i am exchanging my g2 because there is something clearly wrong with package manager. I have to do a hard reset 5 times successively to be able to install any apps. Nothing to do with market or downloading its purely stuck in packageinstaller.apk and when i go to app manager in settings, the size of all apps is stuck on "Computing" Only way out of there is to reset.

Had a very lively back and forth convo with tmobile CSR and tech support where I basically walked them through their whole troubleshooting scheme. I told them I would get out of their hair if they just give me root and fix it myself but since "tmobile knows whats best for me, i guess i need to make you spend more money to fix your phones"
[G2 and Desire Z General] reddragon72:
And is anyone going to pull the update location or upload the update.zip file for everyone? I would like to get my hands on it to see if we can figure out the WIFI calling feature and how it installs. There is something missing as the app itself will not work on the G2 without some other part in the update. So someone please snag the zip or the addy for the zip.

Would everyone quit posting that you *don't* have the OTA...no one cares and you just add to the number of posts we have to scroll through.

Post when you *have* the OTA and not until.

You all are part of the ongoing problem with forums and the lack of read-before-ask: no one wants to scroll through 40 pages of "me too!" And "no OTA here!".

[G2 and Desire Z General] davidhoude:
I honestly don't get why people are so incredibly butt hurt over the internet. This is the general forum, not the development forum. There is ONE (1) thread about the OTA update being official, and taking place between 11/3 (NOW) to 11/8. With a new phone that cost half a grand, that is scattered with bugs, not to mention no NAND unlock in sight... I think most G2 users on this forum are a little excited to see _something_ coming from tmobile.

If you don't want to read this thread, please, it's not that hard. Don't click on it. There is absolutely no reason to be calling people names, and disrespecting the general community here because they made a post that "didnt contribute." Your name calling doesn't contribute, it causes hostilities, and is not really welcomed.

While I agree with some of the nonsense in the development forum, again, this is the general forum and I see no reason to attack other members for nothing more than giving status & location.

Grow up, stop trying to flex your e-muscle. No one cares.

Just installed it. My hspa speeds are worse, and the phone is waffling between gprs/edge/hspa. During a good stretch of hspa I got 1.4mbps up/dn. Used to get 2-2.5 or so and hspa was stable. Could be some other factor or a symptom of current network conditions or cell tower jankiness. I'll just keep using for a few days to get a better picture but the knee-jerk is worse radio performance. In midtown manhattan.

The general consensus on reinstalling the orignal GG or factory resetting is that both methods are bunk. Unless someone can edit out the GG patch (if it's even applicable) looks like the current fix is reflashing with the shipped firmware. It's in the dev section somewhere I think.
