Just curious to see how many people would go back to stock to update. Personally I wouldn't.

I will as I'm still stock. I will root if one of the following 2 conditions are met. We are told we won't get ICS through "official" channels, or I upgrade to the rumored Holiday when my upgrade hits in December. I'm confident we will get an official upgrade to gingerbread. HTC did say something earlier this year about it arriving sometime this summer. However, I'm not gonna get anxious about it until we see a leaked ROM for it.

I ran the Asian WWE, from about a month or more ago, then the telus update from last week. It's no big deal to manually mod the package to install like a normal update. When the official AT$T update comes out, you probably won't have to go back to stock, just wait a day or less and someone will have modded it to install cleanly from clockwork. If it takes more than 24 hours, then I'll certainly post one.
Note that if you do revert to stock just to get the update, you'll probably lose the ability to root your phone afterwards. See:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1140104
What's going to happen is people are going to go back to stock, hate it then realize that they can no longer root.
So far anything with the build number 2.37 and up cannot be downgraded and rooted/soff. There is quite a few threads of this in the dhd forum.
Plus well get alot of posts of I'm rooted why doesn't the Ota's work again.
I'm happily running gingerbeast and wont plan on going stock again

As I recall, from the same time, ATT did reiterate what HTC said regarding the update. That it will be upgraded this summer. With HTC working to unlock the bootloader on the Evo 3D and Sensation, it is possible they would they would unlock ours as well. However, I just wouldn't count on it. For those that are rooted, I would recommend staying rooted until these [email protected] devs here on XDA finally get root on the official gingerbread update.

Yeah, unfortunately these newer phones have been shipping with locked bootloaders. Still, HTC said that the bootloaders will be unlocked and that will come via those phones first OTA updates. We, on the other hand, would have to wait till the devs obtain root on the update before nonrooted users can root and those users who went back stock to obtain the update can go back to being rooted. As we all know, our bootloader was locked to begin with. The Desire HDs haven't got their bootloader officially unlocked, and I doubt they ever will. Same goes for us, since thet Inspire and Desire HD both came out before HTC said they would unlock the bootloaders on their devices.

Why would anyone unroot just to get an update you can get right now? And if you are going to lose the option to go back to root, then definitely forget it. If it's true the bootloader will be locked it should be announced so we can make a stink with HTC again.

It's not the bootloader per se; those have always been locked. HTC just plugged the holes that allowed us to get temproot which is the first step needed to do the rest.

Technically, you can't get it now, since it hasn't been released or leaked. All the current custom gingerbread roms here are actually DHD roms. I have rooted in anticipation of a leaked US Inspire gingerbread rom. Once we get that, we should start to see some more stable roms that don't require apn and gps fixes and require far less updating. Thanks to all the great devs that will make this happen.

Ask ATT as it is there call. We may see one update but that's about it.
Once it's officially released, just wait a few days and all the major ROMs will be updated. Absolutely no reason to go back to stock.

Ok I saw a lot of members having a problem with the 2.3.4 update so I thought I'd make a thread where someone can help us all out at once rather than going thread by thread.
The problem is that when it powers off and boots up when installing the update, it shows the green android next to a triangle with an exclamation mark in it. And yes I'm rooted and S-offed. So can anyone help us? Thanks.

+1. Have tried both OTA and Clockwork recovery to no avail. Guess it could be CID problem. Now the OTA has been withdrawn from my phone. I can only wait and check update later with my fingers crossed.

Does this mean that you've tried flashing Stock ROMs with 2.3.4 (in CWM)?
Yup. Have done that several times for the past 2 days and failed. Luckily it allows me to reboot back to Tmobile Stock 2.3.3 (rooted).

Ppl, if your rooted and s off u will not be able to get ota updates. There is a deoxed version of the ota in the development section already.

You need the stock recovery
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
I would wait till someone adds the update into a rom. You could loose root if you update.
If your on a custom Rom just wait for the next release, chances are it wills be in there it if isn't in there already.
If your on stock, then perhaps look for a rooted stock Rom. Someone is bound to pit the newest up with the update already installed in there.
This happened with a lot of EVO 3D users, they updated and lost root and then got stuck at hboot 1.50...
So don't just on every update you see lol.

Are you rooted and s off? If not I'm very sorry to say you can not go back. However if you are rooted yes you most certainly switch back to Gingerbread if you like. If your really hateing it you CAN root and revert back to Gingerbread after your successful in rooting. You might want to even try a Ics Rom. I've found them to be a lot more stable than stock Rom. I was having issues on stock and once I rooted and installed custom Rom the issue went away.however only do what your comfortable doing. I wish you the very best in what ever you're decisions.

The reason everything is force closing is because it needs a factory reset. My sisters SGSII did the same, i noticed when i reflashed the ota update for her it didnt wipe at all and all the apps force closed
i just received a text saying that there's a critical update for my phone (Inspire4G) is this the Android 4.0 Update? Is it safe to upgrade? Will it mess up the current ROM i'm in?
Please let me know. Thank you

Its definitely not 4.0 if you have an inspire. And yes it probably is safe to update it, but as usual, backup your stuff before you update it.
On the bright side, it's nice to see life coming back over the inspire side. Darn, I can't think of a single sci-fi line to insert here.....

So I'm s-off, unlocked bootloader, flashed roms and so on. Whenever I flash something like slimbean or cyanogenmod my wifi and mobile data speeds tank. I have flashed radios with little to no change. I believe in cleanrom it is stated to be on the latest jb software from at&t. Will using the latest 3.18 ruu actually help anything? Do I have to unlock the bootloader again or am I safe since it's s-off and can just flash twrp and a custom rom? My data speeds are fast and normal on sense based roms. Thanks in advance. I can take the abuse.
