It was bought brand new. Some rumors say Cincinnati bell have something to stop the ota from successfully happening. If true or not I'm trying to find a way to do it without rooting etc..

I'm running the latest refuse 1.4 so I think this is a different update than the one we had before. Did anyone else get it? How can I download and save it so I can post or see what it is first???

You got it too? Idk I postponed for 30 min. I don't want to update until I know what it is. I wanted to try to download it somehow so I can post for those who need it. I saw this yesterday but I'm not holding my breath until I know for sure... I would think gingerbread would be a rather large update tho

Oh well. Let's find out.

Lol I still postponed it another 30 min. If its taking long and freezing it must be a major update.... I would think you just update directly from 1.3.2.

Yes. But after OTA root & custom recovery is out.
Have the Stock, Rooted AT&T version they just were selling at Best Buy. Don't attempt the OTA update. when I did this morning, the phone rebooted to the exclamation/android screen. thankfully pulling the battery let it boot back to normal. I may have to un-root in order to install 2.3.6.

That is called recovery, and it is how updates get installed.

Unrooted?????

I was rooted....then I did the LG update and flashed Stock 2.3.3 Gingerbread. I wanna go back to Weapon, but RomManager is not opening. Did the update unroot my phone??

LG and almost every other phone manufacturer or service provide don't send out rooted updates. So yes, your phone is no longer rooted.

Superoneclick doesn't work on Gingerbread, I believe. Try flashing a custom recovery from NVFlash.

I've been doing a little bit of reading, and I keep seeing that the G2x Gingerbread 2.3.3 can't be rooted yet? Is this true?

No that's false. Nvflash clockwork and flash the root zip. It will root gingerbread

Hey guys I keep reading of others getting prompted to update. What update is this I haven't gotten prompted, I'm just rooted and unlocked? If I get prompted and dont catch it before it flashes is it gonna brick me?

Just flash a custom recovery and you'll be fine.
We need more threads about this.

Yes. It will also kill your family and steal your lunch money. Fear it.
A simple (check the general thread) would have sufficed! But glad to see that there's still dicks handing out the same b.s. lectures! Or making fun of people!
