So far all is well. I don't wanna be reasonable for you messing up your phone so do at your own risk.
Using titanium back up I un installed system updater 1.0.0. Its been a couple hours and i haven't received a single pop up telling me there's an update. So far the only downside I see is when you goto menu> settings> about phone there isn't a system update tab anymore. This I can not update my software, profile, prl, android manually.
I suggest you make a back up of your current set up before doing so put freezing it in titanium backup premium
Well after making this thread is greeted with a update pop up. This thread us now void and useless

im fully upgraded except for a di18 rom. im happy with my rom and will be waiting for an updated version of it that is based on the di18 update
EDIT: You can also just flash THIS by attn1 to accomplish the same goal.
The update for 1.84 for the Inspire 4G was released on 4-29-2011 as an OTA update. It WILL NOT RUN on rooted ROMs.
Things I have personally observed about this ROM:
Quick. Seems to respond very well to input, no real hesitations. I won't tell you quadrant scores because they are useless.
GPS WORKS! Exceptionally well. 3-6 FOOT accuracy. The highest TTL I have seen is 17s.
Fast. HSUPA is working well, 1.3mbps up. I hit 6mbps down on a regular basis with this ROM. YMMV, of course. But it works great here in North Texas.
Third party non market Apps install. Yes, you read that right. There is no selector to turn it on or off, though. They work for me. YMMV.
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE, COMPUTER, PLACE OF RESIDENCE, OR PETS.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prerequisites:
S-Off HTC Inspire 4G with microSD card inserted (HOW TO thanks to attn1)
RUU to stock 2.2.1 v1.80 (Located here thanks to cmstlist)
Gingerbreak v1.2 (From Chainfire) loaded on your SD Card
The OTA update note: place in /sdcard/download. This method is untested.
Sideload Wonder Machine if install of Gingerbreak does not work.
A valid Wi-Fi connection
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Follow these steps to achieve a rooted 2.2.1 v1.84 stock ROM
1. RUU your phone to stock following instructions provided in the above thread using the pd98img.zip method, NOT THE .EXE!
2. Boot phone, don't bother adding any accounts or setting anything but a wifi connection up.
3. Go to Settings, choose AT&T Software Update, then choose HTC Wi-Fi Software Update.
4. Download and install
5. Boot phone into updated stock ROM.
6. Install Gingerbreak v1.2 and run it. It will crash HTC Sense launcher, force close it, then you will see an error saying it could not reboot phone. Reboot manually using power button. If it gives you a weird error on boot such as a picture of a phone and a red mark, pull the battery then reboot.
7. ROOT! Yes, you now have root. Verify superuser.apk is in your app drawer, then I strongly recommend installing busybox from the market.
8. Install ROM Manager from the market and flash ClockworkMod Recovery. I have had no issues with 3.0.2.6.
That's it, done! I have had a couple small FC's from SU when first granting permissions to an app, to fix it open the actual superuser app then go back to the offending program. Once granted permissions this should not occur anymore.
I hope this helps!
If I missed anyone in the thanks above it was purely unintentional. PM me and I will correct the oversight.
I think you mean 3rd party apps is enabled? Not slideload.

so lemme get this straight, AT&T finally enabled the ability to install apps that are not from the market?
Or am I just seeing things and mis understanding.

a little "birdie" told me that at&t is rolling this out to 10K users a day for the first three days, then evaluating the results and - assuming all goes well - will bump up to 25K-50K users on 5/2, and then 50K users a day until done beginning 5/3 or 5/4. don't know for sure, though, if this is why you're having to wait for 1 more day.
i have the update, where do you go to let it install non market apps? i tried downloading the amazon app store thingy but it still says install blocked.

If you downloaded the update prior going back to stock Un-rooted, then you need to either format you SD card or use another one. When I went back to stock, the update didn't show up for me, but as soon as I changed my SD card, the OTA came right up after I prompted for an update.

I wouldn't much worry about updating to this if your phone is rooted. Soon enough someone will have a rooted and CWR Flashable version of this. With so many good roms and Devs here I assume it wont be long.

I think that is the difference maker. Hence why s-off is listed as a prerequisite.

I recently rooted my Inspire. Today there was a WIFI update available and when I went to run the update the screen blacked out with an exlclamation mark. Is this because of the root that the phone will not take the update? Or is that the update process?
Thanks
Is the update from your service provider or from the people that created the ROM? If it's from your provider I would not even try to run the update just wait for an updated version of your rom to come out.
Thanks!
Kind of what I was thinking but being new to the device I thought I would ask.
Thanks again!
This is just to enable better speeds but all the ROMs already enable that.

Actually, its likely the side loading update, which most Roms also have. The speed update was weeks ago...

The OTA update is a combination of a patch pack and some new firmware for the radio and hboot. The first phase is applying the patch pack. For this to work, you need a pretty much stock ROM. If you're rooted, you likely have a few files that will be different and the patch will fail. It also checks the CID and aborts if you're not using stock (ie you used gfree to "open" your SIM, etc.). The firmware will only install after the patching process has completed successfully.
If you are rooted, then your best bet is to just use ATTN1's package that contains all the patched files and firmwares. You can find it here:

Undead already has a patch for this. You can use his I don't think it messes with root as I have his rom. And freeze the updater using titanium backup.

...and there is the primary reason to root your phone above all else.
How long has the patch been out that undeadk9 whipped up when the vulnerability was exposed?
How long did it take for HTC to figure out a way of patching it, run it through their departments and test it out...
Undeadk9 found out about the problem when someone else posted it here. The very next thing he did was sit down and hammer out the fix into a flashable zip for the rest of us. (Thanks again for caring, btw!)
Nevermind the fact that you should be able to do whatever you can make your device (yea, the one you paid for) do, but being at the mercy of some titan company to grind an update through all it's gears... no thanks.

Huh.... I always thought if the phone was rooted and running a custom ROM, you would never get OTA updates. Maybe that's only if you're running a custom Gingerbread ROM.

That's exactly what I was thinking. The OTA is supposed to check for an unrooted/unmodified system before allowing the OTA. Maybe it just fails to install but you still get the notification? If true, that would definitely be annoying. Don't blame people for wanting to disable it.

I'd like know as well. I'm happily rooted and don't feel like changing anything. A pop up has notified me about 10 times today. Only options are to Install now. Install later and more information which allows no further options. So I just hit install later only to be notified again randomly.

Hopefully, Someone can let those of us that do not want to update know where this update.apk file is located.. I know I can't seem to find it...
when I loaded up the debloated rooted package courtesy of Danalo I remember deleting remnants of something in root explorer along the lines of "vzwfroyoinstaller.apk" and something else with "vzwupdate(er)" in the name which could be the culprits, sorry I don't remember and when I was on froyo I hadn't received the OTA yet and didn't bother to check then got impatient and flashed the aforementioned rom lol
do a search in root explorer for "update" or "froyo" or even a generic one like "vzw", there's gotta be a suspicious looking updater apk somewhere in there

The new radios contained in this ROM update alone (which dramatically improves data connection stability) is the biggest reason alone to update to Gingerbread.
I used to have data drops and overall data instability like none other on EE4. 2.3.6 gives me the stability that I needed to keep a stable data connection while hopping from tower to tower while driving through my city. EE4? Forget about it, it never could hop from tower to tower without giving some kind of fit about it and that meant that you couldn't stream anything. I'd have to look at my phone every once in awhile just to force my streaming music app to make a reconnection and being that I drive through some cities that have a "no cell phone" law, I was risking a ticket (that and an accident).
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I haven't gotten a notification yet. Running EP4 debloated.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda premium
If you're running anything other than bone-stock (no root, no VooDoo, no de-bloat, etc) EE4, the OTA will not apply.
In many cases, you won't even get the notification on a non-stock ROM, as it requires the InnoPath app to be there.
If you're on a custom ROM, the OTA does manage to get downloaded and you tell it to update, you run the risk of soft-bricking (boot loop) at worst. In the best case, you'll boot to custom recovery and it will ignore the update.
I just got off the phone with verzion to see if there was any way for them to stop the push... Upper Tech Support called Samsung and they said no.. That after 2wks the push should stop.. I am running Gummy Froyo 2.0 with the EP4 radios and we have 4G in my town and its as smooth as a babies ass.. Running Immoseyon's kernel in voodoo.. files are converted to EXT4 and setcpu has me at 1200 mhz 100% stable I don't want to loose what I got.. Everything Icons, Backgrounds, Go Launcher EX are all set up PERFECT So, I guess I am going to have to wait for the push to stop.. There is no "Update.zip" file that I can find through Root Explorer to delete to stop the push..
You can do NAND backup and Titanium Backup (for god's sake), then update. GingerBread is much faster then Froyo.

I am running a stock rooted kernel with stock rom. I keep getting the ota update. I am all backed up and going to try the ota in the am when my battery is fully charged. If not it won't be the first time I used imnuts [HOW-TO]Fix your phone....
YOU MUST be NOT rooted for the OTA to take place or it will break the phone and you'll have to use the "Fix your Phone" thread.
Froyo versus Gingerbread. If you thought your phone was fast with those tweaks on Froyo, just try applying them to Gingerbread. Five times better. Look at it this way... this phone was made for Gingerbread, the hardware, the features, the functionality, all of it was made for Gingerbread. Hell, the front-facing camera was made for Gingerbread. The only reason why we got stuck with Froyo was because they rushed the phone to market and by the time they wanted to launch it a Gingerbread build wasn't ready for it.
I took the ota this morning with stock rooted kernel and worked perfect. I must say trparky was correct about "dramatically improves data connection stability". I am really surprised how much this update helped out my phone.
