I am looking to get a new phone this weekend, and I'm leaning toward the Shift. Any advice for a new owner? I saw a thread that there is an OTA Gingerbread update, but that there is only "temp root" (not familiar with that - I guess maybe root that only lasts until you reboot??). Should I try to get them not to update my phone in the store so that I'm still on FroYo? Anything else I should know as a prospective Shift owner?
Yes temp root will only last till you reboot. Then you have to do it all over again . As to where to go to get your Shift, try to go to a place that doesn't sell a lot of them. That way you have a better chance of getting one that is on Froyo. Also make sure you have them power it up, and check for yourself that it reallly is 2.2 ( Froyo ) . Then tell them not to update it. If whatever place you choose says they have to update it, just say no thanks. They do not have to. The places so far that I've seen that you have a better chance are Wallmart, Target, Costco, and Sams Club. Hope that helps .
Well, unfortunately, I'll be going to Best Buy, since they have it for free with upgrade right now. Is the temp root complicated and involved?

I assume your talking about GB Temp Root. Haven't had occasion to try the Temp Root method for 2.3 yet. But you can try this thread.
It's not just that with 2.3 you'll only have temp root and have to reroot upon reboot. You also won't be able to flash any custom ROMs.

Don't buy it unless it has 2.2.
what version of sense does the new 2.3 ROM have on the shift?

Stock 2.3 has Sense 2.1 out the box. If your using one of the custom Sense Gingerbread ROMs, most of them are Sense 2.1 with some Sense 3.0 aspects.

Well, got two Shifts on Saturday from Best Buy. They have Gingerbread on them, unfortunately. I guess I'll see if I can get this temp root figured out. Or maybe I'll just piddle along without root until a perm solution is figured out. Thanks for the tips, all.

I don't see what was confusing about what that guy wrote. He suggested that I go to Radio Shack so I could get a Shift with 2.2, and if I wanted, I could get full root on it. He, however, went ahead and took the update to 2.3 because he is willing to wait for root on that. I'm confused by your confusion.

The confusion comes in where he says he took the ota and will wait for it to be rooted. There's absolutely no advantage to rooting Gingerbread over froyo. There are stock rooted ROMs that if flashed would be exactly like running a rooted stock Gingerbread. He's free to do whatever he wants, just seems pointless to me.

I'm new to Android - my apologies if this is an ignorant question.
If I root my Captivate will I be removing myself from OTA updates?
From what I understand rooting it does not prevent you from getting the OTA updates but if you put a custom ROM on there you will not be able to get the Samsung ROM when they release it - but then again you won't need it. Everything I've read about Samsung so far pretty much indicates that won't be anytime soon - apparently they are terrible at software updates. I don't know that first hand though, this is the first Samsung Smartphone I've owned.
If you rooted just to remove the AT&T bloat then you should have no worries about when they release Froyo.
If I'm wrong someone please correct me!
No, you'll be fine.
Edit: I agree with what the previous poster said.
Awesome, thanks guys. Looks like I'll move forward with a root this weekend. Time to remove some AT&T crapware
also you can always remove root later if its a problem
since you're new to android and this phone, i highly suggest you read the Pimp my captivate pdf provided for in a sticky on this sub forum.

Not sure what you mean by "locked by AT&T", but, AT&T will never know its been rooted unless they have it in their hands.
There is always the possibility of something going wrong, but unlikely if you follow the directions as they are written. Research is important too. I've learned TONS here, from others mistakes and experiments.

You can take it to a store tech center and have them reflash your phone with it if mini kies isn't working.
Mini kies has been a flaming hot mess more often than not with these updates, so a full reflash at the store is probably not a bad idea anyway.

Bottom line: Our developers and users have moved to Rootzwiki. Its still the same users and developers that were once here; same usernames and everything. Everyone's there. Just a new location (and new management).
Whats done is done; the mass exodus has occurred and it can't be changed. So lets quit talking about it. Get on the Rootzwiki boat or stay in ghost town. Your choice.

No kies on my Samsung N150 Plus netbook, just installed USCC_I500_EH09_SimpleDL from the US Cellular android upgrade section. Followed instructions (except for battery life, performed this with 81%) phone rebooted, all apps intact including acircuitboard live wallpaper, root apps, contacts, calender, etc...., EXCEPT ROOT ACCESS! Super User gone baby, verified with root check app. guess I'll give GingerBreak a try this weekend, heck I may even try SuperOneClick again to see what happens. Here's a trick for you warranty voider freaker outers, if you brick it, just tell your provider you lost the phone and pay the $50 or whatever dollar insurance claim and get a new GXS.
Obviously no root access, it's a stock official rom.

Yes, very. Don't mind your brother, he's just that mad that the Shift has CM7
I'm gonna be honest, im a idiot and never did a full wipe, i just did basic wipe, Wipe dalvik cache, cashe, and data/system once and installed the rom i wanted and off i went. That was the main reason i had soooo many damn issues with roms in the past. With doing the correct way now thanks to a few guys showing me the right post, i would say either CM7(the new one 7.1.0) or Nightlies.
I normally am a sense UI lover and refused to get rid of it. but the new update on ASOP im addicted to it. i love the new ring lock system, and everything else like battery life and amazing speed with either scary or v9.

Try THIS link out, its got pretty much everything you want to know to get started(including vids). The only things that don't work on GB currently HDMI and on some of the roms, bluetooth. If you want to get the official OTA when it drops you will have to go back to stock, easiest way is to use THIS method. Also when GB does drop, Devs most likely will make their own roms based on the official GB.
Once your rooted and have recovery installed use THIS thread to find the ROM you want...
This is just a rough overview, so make sure you READ carefully and take your time, any question you have is usually answered in the appropriate thread.
Here is a link to the latest AT&T Gingerbread leak. Use Odin to flash it, and if you stick with the included stock kernel, everything works as it should. It looks very close to being ready for release. If you want it rooted, flash Entropy's kernel and then use CWM recovery and the Superuser zip you can find on here to install su. Then, flash the stock kernel again to keep everything working (video, bluetooth, etc.).:

Edit: Nevermind my question, dman, thanks anyway for what you're doing.
To the OP, a good AOSP Gingerbread rom that I keep coming back to is Serendipity VII. I hope that MikeyMike will still come back to update that one when we get the official AT&T Gingerbread.

Disregard this post, replied to the previous poster, then realized they were talking to someone else, sorry!
I just applied this update on my wife's phone that is stock 2.3.4...don't notice anything different so far, no sense 3.0 or anything.

maybe fixes visual voicemail bug?
For about 6 weeks I've been having issues with the stock visual voicemail app force-closing every time I tried to use it. I tried going into the app's settings area and clearing its data, then re-enabling it in the caller app, all to no avail.
I just installed this update and it looks like my VVM is working again, so I'm hoping this was indeed a known issue and was fixed.
(FTR, I'm not sure that a factory reset before the update wouldn't have fixed the problem, but I didn't feel like re-installing all my apps so I let it go and just used the old-school voicemail number for a while.)
Is there anyway possible for me to get the update because i had s-off and then i wanted to unroot but i used gfree so i had to use gfree and ran into a crap load of problems leaving me right now with s-off and no root permissions . i need to get a new mytouch because this one randomly restarts and i cant send in one with s-off... can anyone help me out?

Is there anything in this radio other than a new radio and new hboot?
I'm s-off via engineering bootloader, NOT gfree. Is it worth the trouble to use gfree so I can ruu and stay s-off, accept the update, then flash clockworkmod recovery via bootloader, then go back to cm7?
That's exactly what I did with the sensation.

You might be better off downloading the rom and doing it yourself.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1384438.
If not go to T-Mobile store and yell at them. Just kidding. Go to the store they might be helpful.
