Hi everyone, I was wondering if I could update the firmware on my Samsung Infuse from Froyo Android 2.2.1 to Gingerbread 2.3 with a rooted phone? Will anything be lost during this, and will I have to unroot and then re-root my phone in order to update?
These questions are answered in the AT&T official update info thread. Please read before posting.

I do not believe there is an upgrade path from froyo to gb that will keep root. There are some pre-rooted gb ROMs but nothing down the official road. The official gb update is the same as the UCKL2 leak from December. Do a search for user przekret and you'll see the thread. Its buried in the development forum somewhere. Any of the "official" GB updates are flashable only through Odin so I'm pretty sure you'd lose everything. At least that's what I've been reading. I lost everything when I flashed it. Personally, however, the "official" is very unpolished and I'm actually back on UCKH1 Froyo until a new "official" is out.

You could just help him out instead of posting something pointless.

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.
Thanks

Hello All;
I am new to the smartphone world and I recently rooted my TB with a Stock Rom; now that I am rooted how would I maintain an up to date phone?
Is there a way to sign up for new update notifications from this site, or do I need to keep up with blogs, chats, and the internet on my own?
Note: I have had two questions that I posted on this site and both of them have been answered/very useful.
Thank you all in advance!
I may be completely mistaken but I believe it is up to you to watcth the forums and find a blog to follow.

Up to date according to Verizon or the developers here? XDA is pretty much bleeding edge in terms of radios and operating system updates.
Ok, this what I need to know. Thanks!
Ok, thanks. I just dont want to fall behind the ROM race.

Now that your rooted if you want to remain on a rooted stock rom, just wait til you see a blog on here about a new thunderbolt update (MR2 for example)
Then give it a day or 2 for someone to release the update in a rooted version, in a thread in the thunderbolt development section that looks like this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160374
[ROM] Official 1.70.605.0 MR2 OTA Deodexed Rooted Busybox
which is for rooted users follow the directions on flashing using cwm and then flashing the new radio file if there is one, through hboot.
you will then maintain root while still getting the latest ota's.

Thank you for taking the time to explain to me the process; direct me and I will take it from there.
Unfortunately you're going to see a number of old threads for ROMs with dead links. Most of what you're going to need is here. The newest radio isn't, that I've seen. And I'm not sure there's any gingerbread builds based on the newest leak are here either. If I'm wrong, someone correct me. If you find a locked ROM thread, just Google the name.
Glad you've joined the community and we hope to be as helpful as possible.
I am currently using the Infused V1.6.0 ROM, today just got an notification for software update from AT&T. I am not sure if that will be the Ginger Bread update or just some other stuffs, I didn't do it cause not sure if that will wipe out my rooted access or won't able to root it again. Did anyone get that update?
There was a small update but not GB that rolled out a few days ago.

This isn't development... And please read in General forums before posting threads like this. At least two threads discussing UCKH1 already exist.
Hi everyone,
This is my first post in xda. I am new in this rooting or flashing etc. Please don't get irritated with my questions as I am new. I live in Bangladesh. I bought an at&t skyrocket i727 from a person just returned from usa which is unlocked.
My questions are
how do I update it into ics 4?
Should I wait for the update given by Samsung?
If I don't wait which will be the best and safe way to update? As I have seen so many ways discussed here I am really confused.
And after update do I need to unlock it again?
My phone details are
version 2.3.5
Baseband I727UCKJ2
kernel 2.6.35.11
Build GINGERBREAD.UCKJ2
Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA
first of all there is no official ics update for skyrocket the latest update is 2.3.6
although there have been many ics leaks the latest is the ucle2 leak and you can get more information from this link

I'm pretty sure there are sticky guides somewhere. That being said Please try searching before making a new thread.
Hello, I am new to this forum and just got my blaze 3 weeks ago. I know the phone is kind of old but I like it. Any way when I get a new phone the first thing I do is root it and get rid of the bloatware, but after 3 weeks searching and following 2 tuts from other sources I managed to softbrick my phone. All is good there and I managed to un-brick the phone both times. My question here, is there any tuts out there that can help me root my phone? I will post the specs below and hopefully someone can direct me to the right info.
Any help is greatly appreciated and If I missed sonething I apologise as I am in the U.S Army and usually very busy. Thanks guys!
T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4g
Current firmware: 4.0.4 (ICS I believe)-OTA updated accidently
The phone came pre-loaded with 4.0.3...I don't know why
Current baseband: T769UVMB1

First, you should never look at "other sources". XDA is the best and you should have started here
Second, wrong thread. Questions belong in the General section.
Third, if you look there is a [GUIDE][ICS]How to root stock just a few posts down.
Lastly, this phone has never been on 4.0.3 lol. There was a recent baseband update to UVMB1 but it is still 4.0.4 just as UVLH5 was 4.0.4.
Hope that helps
