i dont know if any users have gotten this update and safely installed it...
i also have an optimus s and sprint pushed an update about 2 months ago that unfortunately bricked alot of optimus owners phones ..so sprint stopped the OTA and is supposedly fixing the problems and left alot of people hanging...

Everyone keeps saying that the 1.5 update is being pushed to they're phone, yet NO ONE on here has gotten a link up or any info regarding how to obtain the update? How the F * C K is this possible?!? We have rom developers and firmware modifiers on here, yet no one, NO ONE can get they're hands on the OTA update? WTF?
There is no new T-Mobile US RC release being pushed out yet OTA... or a lot more people would have gotten it.
They're talking about the OTA update for Android Dev Phones
I think it's cause it hasn't hit the US yet only over seas.And to get it it will send you a update on your phone.that is if you haven't rooted it yet.But if you want 1.5 that bad you can always flash 1 of the many 1.5 builds on this site.there all great in there only way.well atleast dudes and haykuros builds are great.now thats only because i only treid does 2 builds.if your looking for something stockish feel to it.I would go with the JF 1.5
the question has been answered
thread closed.
If I root my MyTouch and run the stock ROM that is posted here about 40 mb will I still get the ota updates then since the spl and recovery will be different.
id like to know this as well, but also for us who are running custom ROMS such as Cyanogens ROM
will we still get OTA updates?
Sorry everyone this was a really dumb question especially for me as I already know that answer. The MyTouch once is rooted will NOT get OTA updates since the keys will not match at all. You will not get any updates on the stock rom and espcially not on a modified firmware version

well that stinks, how will we update our phones when new updates to the Android OS come out? manually update/flash the ROMS again?
it does not "stink" not getting otas keeps us from getting our root taken away and our handsets re-lockdown'd.
hang out here and when an ota comes out, it gets modded and available for update.
HAHA, man what are those guys doing in this forum?
you got me.....haha........

That's the reason/joy for root...
Start asking your questions in the right sub-forum (Q&A) (Theme) or even in (General), or i will be forced to ban you for 3 days or till you learn.

What rom did you load on when You rooted it? Because this is the link to the "stock" fender rom on cursordroid's post.

I'm currently running that what I'm looking for is the unrooted stock image files there is no benefit of having this phone rooted anyway.

just sell it rooted so the buyer wont have to go through the trouble; how much you selling it for anyway?
Im sorry buddy your screwed. I guess thats another specfic detail I have to add to the fender rooting thread. Once you root, That image is gone. Unless you can find one on the internet and convert it, you will not get it back. Problem is, for us to get recovery to be able to make a back up, we have to wipe the phone clean as is. So once you downgrade its gone.
I think I may just take the fender tut down. its ridiculous at how many people do it, when I have said there is no point, and then ask somethign liek this later.
It can still get OTA updates (over the air) from Tmobile, so just wait about a month and 2.1 will be on there all on its own.
I actually rooted it without your thread. I found your thread when i ran into the no touch problem. I used cursors ROM. I've been working with android phones/ROMs since the G1 came out. I was working on compiling a kernel for the phone because i actually like it(never had a mytouch b4) but now that i N1 i have no use for it and i want to sell it. I guess i'll just have to make a ROM based off one of the 32A port and hopefully the person that buys it of ebay won't know the difference :/
FYI: not everyone here is retarded i know what OTA means -_-

Gime a break dude.. I was just syaing in case because there are a lot of people here who dont know.
And if you were compiling a kernel why did you stop? because the best 3 guys are on it now and they cant get the new drivers to work.
Mainly because I made no progress and im attempting to sell the phone as I said I have a nexus 1 now
The Asian WWE for Gingerbread DesireHD was released a few weeks ago and just yesterday the Telus Gingerbread OTA update went out so it is likely that we'll see a US AT&T Gingerbread update for the Inspire very soon.
Now the caution:
So far, there is no known way to get root once these updates are installed. HTC has officially announced that they plan to make their ROMs more open in the future, but, since these updates are already in the pipeline and being pushed to other markets, it may be awhile before official HTC policy catches up with ROMs in the wild. The current crop of ROMs, if installed via OTA updates, will LOCK YOUR DEVICE against being able to root. Until devs figure out how to work around the holes HTC has plugged, DON'T APPLY ANY OTA UPDATES!
This only applies to users of stock roms on non-S-OFF devices. If you already are rooted with S-OFF, then you probably are running a custom ROM and don't have to worry. Even if you are running a relatively stock ROM with S-OFF, you'll probably be OK, but if you have yet to root your device, BEWARE; don't accept any OTA updates until devs have figured this out.
ATTN1 has confirmed this and posted as such in his twitter feed:

Dought we will have to worry about this as ATT will have to approve of it first and it will be awhile before that happens.After talking to a few old friends it will be a few months till we see the update.
Why would anyone with a rooted Inspire want to get the OTA update anyways? There are plenty of roms out there that already have Gingerbread that don't make you wait for it.. Maybe I am missing something.
Well, those people don't have to worry since the OTA update will most likely fail, but if you aren't rooted and apply an update like these, then you won't have the option to root anymore (until and if devs come up with a solution).
Zelendel is probably right though about AT&T dragging their feet on this one. It probably won't be an issue for months.
There has been no news (and I have contacted Motorola + My Carriers support, generic answers of "it will be here soon we are trying our best) of 5.x on Moto G US Carriers, only retail which really sucks as someone who bought through Carrier to have not gotten it and already a month has past by.
Should I flash or just wait for it.. I'm unsure..
Hey were all still waiting for lollipop.. Some uses have it some don't I'm in UK still waiting for retail download on EE they said they have released it but you still waiting for the carriers to push it... Just a little patient it will be here very soon. On the plus side it only takes a little while to flash between cm12.1 and stock...
