You should beable to update. The update will unroot, and you don't have to worry about that.

I have a US WiFi that I flashed with the Canadian build. Do you think I will get the Canadian update or will my XOOM still be recognized as a US XOOM?

So that's mean I don't need to relock it back?

I'm just wondering as to the status of gaining root access on the AT&T 2.20 update. I just bought my HOX via a third party, and it came with 2.20, so right now I'm SOL.
I know ETA's don't typically exist, but will creating a bounty help move this along?

Bump
Hopefully someone finds an exploit because I want to install a custom rom so badly!
:crying:
There's nothing to report. My gut feeling is we will need to be granted sanctioned bootloader unlock to get root again.

sorry I'm not so good with rooting. Does that mean that we need htc to let us unlock our bootloader so we can install a rooted android os?

Yes or someone needs to find a new exploit for the new 2.20 to allow root.

Yes. At the very least we need unlocked bootloader in order to install a custom recovery so we can install root.
I found this just a moment ago. I have no clue if these would work though.

You need to be rooted and bootloader unlocked to flash a ROM.

Lol that rom is from one of our devs it's his website the rom is in the dev section its a rooted version of the update without the hboot. It does no good to anyone who took the ota that was locked and had no root prior to doing so.

I'm afraid I'm not as versed in Android phones as I am with Apple. It seems that Android is a bit more complex. Well, I tried to help, hehe.

If you have a retail outlet around you (i.e. Best Buy, etc.), you can do what I did. Return the new phone and buy one from old shelf stock. If they received it before August then it's guaranteed to have firmware of 1.85 or older.
This is really bad!
any news or updates about being able to root 2.20? I have a HOX on 2.20 and i'm wondering if I should just sell it or wait

As of now still no updates on when root will be achieved.
There is thread in the general section
Root 2.20 Think Tank
That is where you will find the most update info.

Nope. Currently u r sol until someone cracks that hboot. Did u just get it? Find a reason to get a replacement, and make sure if u go in to get the replacement, dont let the rep hit that update. Just tell them.......please dont accept the update if one comes up. Good luck bro.

No, unfortunately it's been 30 days and you know AT&T. Use to have an Inspire that was rooted and just decided I wanted to root my One x. Guess I'll have to wait till someone cracks it. Thanks anyway

You'll most likely be able to root and S-OFF your phone if you took it but as always it's best to do that BEFORE you take OTA's, or even better wait until someone elses does and see if anyone complains of not being able to S-OFF. Down side is you won't be able to take the OTA's at all after rooting and doing S-OFF, you could still manually flash them but not take them from the software update section of your ROM.
Thanks may I ask which OTA are you i dont heard about OTA is comming out till mid september

I'm not running stock so I can't really tell you what exactly I WAS on. I can on the other hand tell you the firmware I'm on which may or may not be the same because of the custom rom I'm running.
ROM Version (firmware version I think): 1.54.401.5
Thanks

If you're on Verizon htc one or one m8, htcdev is useless.... Big red Locked it down so it won't work on Verizon... Sunshine ($25) works up to 4.4.3, but so far afaik, not 4.4.4 yet

Hi, is there a time when we can expect an update to Sunshine for the 4.4.4? I also just purchased the Verizon HTC one m8, and it just updated to the 4.4.4
Thanks,

Exactly and we have the greedy you know whats at verizon to thank for that. All the other carriers allow htc dev but oh no not the V that should be a bad word lol.
Folks; please check the boards. This is covered in other threads. Jcase reported that he hopes to have Sunshine 3.0 out in January. Until then, unless someone else figures out an exploit for 4.4.4, or Big Red decides to permit bootloader unlock, you'll have to run stock for a bit longer.
