That is my assumption

When i rooted and flash recovery first thing i did was make a backup just in case and it contains everything before i started removing stuff.

From what I'm reading the OTA seems to delete data from the phone. Does it do this? Because I am not rooted and never have been.

Sent from my never been rooted, always stock eclair Epic.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
Usually, OTA updates do not delete your data. Where are you reading this?
[Epic 4G General] Darkk69:
I highly doubt it'll delete the data otherwise Sprint would have a large angry mobs on their hands. I would imagine it'll make a copy of the data and once the update is done convert it to the new format.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
That is correct.
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
What time does it start?

It's different for everyone, it's queued by whomever pops up in their servers by waves. There is no way to know the order of the push, but it'll just happen if anything.
[Epic 4G General] lazyart:
It's kinda silly IMHO, to Odin back to DI18 just so you can get OTA when you can just Odin to a rooted EA17 when it's available. Because the next thing you'll want to do is root it anyway.

Odin stock di18->OTA stock ea17->root

Or

Odin rooted ea17

Save yourself two steps. And if you're going ext4, you gotta wait that out too. Since this is going in waves, the .tar might be available for download before your device is picked anyway...

Nevermind. Installed asphalt. Thanks for the link. Hopefully that's it.

Sorry, i meant what time does it begin. 12 AM?
[Epic 4G General] JonandRoid:
I have di18 and I deleted bloatware and obviously rooted, can I just go into settings and do a factory reset? Or clear data cache wipe within recovery or do I HAVE to odin??
[Epic 4G General] JettMartinez:
Check the Wiki in the Sticky. I think there's links to all the bloat apps, and the All-in-One One-Click root has an un-root option.

Edit: Heh, Wiki in the Sticky. I like that. I'm so easily amused. :p
[Epic 4G General] MedicStuder:
I figured I would post this here. If I can't update my prl/profile/firmware. Will the OTA still come threw???

Your seeing so many posts about rooted phones because this is XDA. Suggest you use MyBackup from the market. The best answer is to root and do a nandroid backup in cwm.

[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
If you're completely stock and un-rooted, you don't have to do anything. You can just wait for the OTA. It will back up your data and restore it after the fact. You won't lose any game data or any other data for that matter.

Unless of course you are interested in learning about all this stuff.
[Epic 4G General] JonandRoid:
Okay thanks, I've downloaded the zip file that includes every apk that came with the phone stock. If I just put back everything that I took out and fix permissions and remove root it should ota correctly right? Just don't feel like odin'ing and completely redoing the whole phone...
[Epic 4G General] incisivekeith:
Thanks. I have reinstalled all the stock apps I had uninstalled with root access. It would be interesting to see if the OTA update recognizes my ROM as a stock ROM or not.

Is the OTA going to start at 12am eastern time?
[Epic 4G General] AproSamurai:
^^ More likely, 2ish Pacific so that all us time zones are into the next day.
[Epic 4G General] vrojas25:
so i went back to factory with odin so i can get the update will i be able use one click root cm3 after the update anybody know:confused:
[Epic 4G General] AproSamurai:
In an ideal world yes, but I'd honestly wait a little while before trying to use the current one click root method that is out. You don't want to risk any irreversible damage to your phone.
[Epic 4G General] MojoSwag:
I odin'd back to stock but used joykrims oneclick root. All the stock apps are still on the like it came out of the box. Will I get the ota or do I need to un-root?
[Epic 4G General] lazyart:
CM3 will convert the filesystem to EXT4, making your phone useless until a there is a working kernel for it. Use CM 2.5.1
[Epic 4G General] lazyart:
You'll probably get it but lose root.
[Epic 4G General] MojoSwag:
Cool. I can live without root. I just need to have a reliable email that won't get hung up in my outbox
[Epic 4G General] lazyart:
i use K-9 Mail. Much better than stock mail app.

[Epic 4G General] ThrasherJKL:
ok guys, im sorry for the n00b post but have searched on this thread for a few pages and briefly searched through the forms but my ADD gets the best of me...

first question related to thread,

is skeeterslint officially sure that if bloatware is unistalled that the OTA will fail?

not questioning authority or powers, just curious.

i have used z4root mod to temporarily root my phone and get rid of stock sprint crap, aside from that, nothing has been touched.

now for the n00b question

what is the difference between rfs and ext4?

if i switch over, do i need to alter my sd card any?
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
I forgot I had used sdx remover and i had it make a backup on sd card. I just restored them and they are back I am ready for OTA
[Epic 4G General] skeeterslint:
If the 2.2 OTA is like any of the other OTA's we have had yes if bloatware is removed the OTA will fail to install.
[Epic 4G General] raymond4:
I have a question would the stock youtube app and the stock music app be considered sprint bloatware apps.
[Epic 4G General] djbacon06:
anything installed on your phone when you took it out of the box and powered it on for the first time is considered "sprint bloatware"
[Epic 4G General] pimpin oh boy:
I'm running the 2.2 update from january is the and reason to download this ota when it comes out
[Epic 4G General] ThrasherJKL:
ty for the info, trying to find out how to go back to stock now =)
[Epic 4G General] djbacon06:
don't bother going back to stock. there will be a update.zip you can run from your phone within hours of the roll out.
[Epic 4G General] lazyart:
Plenty

/10char
[Epic 4G General] djbacon06:
what???:confused:

edit: oh, think you meant is there any reason.....if so, ABSOLUTELY
[Epic 4G General] ThrasherJKL:
is this "official" from sung/sprint or is the from the chefs/devs?
[Epic 4G General] djbacon06:
it will be compiled by a developer but it will be an "official" copy of the update, so to speak. Only difference is that it will allow those on dk28 to update without flashing back to 2.1
[Epic 4G General] vrojas25:
does anybody know who or where will get the update 1st cant wait i hope they remove the stupid auto mobile browser
[Epic 4G General] djbacon06:
probably the larger cities, especially those with 4g coverage. Just a hunch though.

And you can enable desktop browser mode by the way. I read this is another thread but type "about:debug" (without quotes) in the address bar. then go to menu --> more--> settings--> UAString--> desktop.

kind of a pain, but worth it imo
[Epic 4G General] yogi2010:
sorry if this has been asked before, but I assume the official stock Froyo will be root-able with one-click 2.5 and 3....
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
I see no reason why it wouldn't work.
[Epic 4G General] vrojas25:
im in chicago with good 4G hopefully we get it first. i did that (about:debug) dint work for me before but now it did is this permanent. cuz a sprint rep showed me another faster if you have to do it every time (about:useragent) and a screen pops out with more options.now i try about:useragent and it dont pop nothing out maybe cuz i did the original 1 i was also rooted i did odin to get back to factory so i can get update. thanx
[Epic 4G General] yogi2010:
yeah, same here.
[Epic 4G General] djbacon06:
unfortunately not permanent, it reverts to mobile if you end the application :(

[Epic 4G General] tclarkey:
After reading the notes in this thread, I am still not sure if I will receive the OTA update (pls forgive me). I have a rooted phone and tried to do the DK28 update back in January but when GPS didn't work, I tried to revert back to DI18. Here are my phone builds:

Firmware version: 2.1 update1

Baseband version: S:D700.0.55.DK28 <== this one concerns me

Kernel version: 2.6.29

Build number: SPH-D700 ECLAIR.DI18

Hardware version: D700.0.5

This is my first android phone I have ever owned, so I am not up on all the ROM, kernel, etc. "lingo". Just a gadget guy trying to figure this stuff out as I go.

TIA
[Epic 4G General] nebrando:
I won't be getting the OTA, but if my wife does before it is up, I will let you know.
[Epic 4G General] SubnetMask:
The update.zip will be in the root of the SD card, won't it?
[Epic 4G General] adamw1101:
correction you will get the ota but it will fail every time you try to install it. you can pull it out of your system cache with a program like root explorer.
[Epic 4G General] skeeterslint:
You will need to odin back to stock or wait for someone to tweak the OTA update.zip becuase of the DK28 modem that you have.
[Epic 4G General] tclarkey:
Thanks. Guess I will wait for the rooted update.zip. No sense in doing double work.
[Epic 4G General] vrojas25:
i did odin and im back to factory it aint hard it only takes 2minutes & half to odin . ithink its better so you would know for sure when you recive the update . thats just what i think thoe
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
No, it will be in the system cache.
[Epic 4G General] bkolodny:
Which folder is the system cache? /cache/?

Should we un-root or can we keep our root and still get the update without any problems? I need confirmation please!!! I used the one click root version 2.5 (something like that) to root. I need my WiFi Tether in the meantime. I need a concrete answer not speculation please!

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
WTH?

Check the "current page path" at the top of this page.

XDA sez our 16-month-old Eris is now a "legacy" device.

Harumph. The HTC Dream (G1) is twice as old, and nobody's calling it "legacy".

:(

Wrote this before I saw workshed mention the same thing in his GSB thread. Oops.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
We're like... the definition of Legacy lol
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pokelover980:
Yeah, pretty much. We may have Gingerbread (and be one of the first to have gotten it), but they're all unofficial ROMs and the Eris itself is an aged and old device. Most people are reaching the end of their contract with it (except me. I have until February 16th of next year D: ) and so will probably getting a new phone soon, making the Eris very fitting of the Legacy name.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
The HTC Dream (aka T-Mobile G1) was released in the US in October 2008 - 2 years and 4 months ago.

iirc the last "official" software release for it (on T-Mobile) was Donut (Android 1.6).

So, clearly the XDA mods are not using initial handset release date as criteria for judging what is "Legacy" - otherwise it would be in there, too.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skrip037:
Oh...damn. :/
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pokelover980:
Maybe it's just so old that they've forgotten about it :P

So does EVERYONE has this problem? Is it a software problem?

I'm running on CM7 RC1 with Netarchy 1.2.4, reboots quite frequently, and it's annoying. Just had another odd bug, phone froze and wouldn't turn on and vibrated non stop for 30 seconds. Phone is buggy when ending a call, it freezes a lot at that point too, anyone else having these problems?
[Nexus S General] liquelt:
I called today the customer service of my carrier "oi" and I spent kinda 30 minutes talking, trying to solve a problem.

When I saw, my phone was in a bootloop with the cyanogenmod boot and I was continuing to talk, without any interrumption.

The only difference was thet the phone was hot!

Running at 1.4 with the last netarchy kernel my max was 38!!! (low):eek:
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
Random reboots are a S/W problem, Google is aware of the issue and will be pushing out an update that fixes the problem.

there is nothing your carriers can do about the issue
[Nexus S General] liquelt:
I hope so!:D
[Nexus S General] jerrycycle:
Just a couple of questions. Are you using a frequency changer app example, setcpu cpu tuner? Do you have the set on boot checked for main profile? I have found if the set on boot is check to have random reboots on calls. I uncheck and no longer have the reboots on calls. That was the only time I ever had the reboots happen. Just a question and something to check in your settings.
[Nexus S General] ruben8448:
Your running netarchy 1.2.4 which is still in its test phase. That's where your issue is. If you switch to a more stable one then you should be fine
[Nexus S General] Zardos66:
No random reboots here, got it on the 3rd. Phone runs smooth as silk. I'm on stock 2.3.2. Out of all the phones I've owned this has been the most stable.

Could my phone possibly be from a different batch? I'm not experiencing any of the issues alot of other people are besides 100% init process, which I solved with keeping USB debugging on.
[Nexus S General] iKitsunee:
I don't think it's the kernel, even stock users have the reboot problems.
[Nexus S General] iDroidFan:
I don't have any such problem on Cyanogenmod 7 rc1...
[Nexus S General] ruben8448:
We get random reboots from time to time but with the freezing and all the other issues it sounds like the kernel. I tried that kernel and I had the same issues. I just switched to 1.2.2 and I was good to go
[Nexus S General] iKitsunee:
Ah, I'm actually using that kernel as well, hasn't happened to me but I suppose it might vary from phone to phone.
[Nexus S General] Serious_Beans:
I have it set on boot,but I'm running at stock speeds. I am not overclocking and still having these problems. I'm going to try a bunch of other roms and kernels and see what my results are, it COULD be the phone it self, but I doubt it.

And thanks everyone for all the responses.
[Nexus S General] jerrycycle:
The kernel is set to default at stock setting so no need to have it set on boot. It isn't going to overclock unless you raise the cpu past 1g
[Nexus S General] liquelt:
google have already said that the problem its just s/w and they are going to fix it with an update and it's not the new 2.3.3! Hope it don't take much longer!!
