Actually, it's only been out since 9/24. They pushed out this update on that date...it was rumored an update was coming about a week before, but 9/3 is way too early
Also, this is the first time I have seen an actual RUU for 3.29. All other threads that reference the RUUs only have the 3.26 RUUs.
Thank you, this was very timely for me since I was looking for this very thing as you posted this.

Yep - this is the first posting on the 3.29 RUU.... The stores didn't even have this as I got a replacement EVO yesterday from a Sprint Repair center and they gave it to me with 3.26 on it and I had to apply the OTA myself....
Thanks for the post.

Whosdaman. Thanks bro! This is especially helpful if you need to get your Evo back to stock. Always like to have a copy of the original.
So does this change your hboot?
No problem guys, I was just checking around and I have had this for over 2 weeks now and seen that no one had it...so I figured I would post it for y'all
I've not seen the real life RUU downloadable till this thread. Thanks man! I like to have it pre-downloaded "just in case".
Good
Sorry for a silly question but do you just Flash this to lose your Root and go back to stock?
I think you still need to S-On if you really want to go all the way back, but this removed root for me.

Make sure you follow the directions. You need to have it connected to HTC Sync.
Maybe not the best place for this question, but where do people get these? Do you have to have a mole with HTC or Sprint (or Sprint vendors like Best Buy)?

I'm a Sprint Rep, I have access to all of the Official ROMs before alot of people. I also know a source who has access to the Overland Park Server which has all of the test and official ROMs on it. Like Froyo for the Hero and Epic...which have yet to be finished. (And might not be released for Hero)

Okay I literally just got this phone yesterday and I see all this talk about Gingerbread and how great it is so I decided I want to try it. I know next to nothing about all the technicalities about this phone so I youtube'd how to do it and found this video that I plan to use to help me in the process. - watch?v=YuURgkUYn1A
So if I follow that process and use the files he uses, I should have Gingerbread and still have my connection to AT&T, GPS, and WiFi? Also, when AT&T finally does release it officially, will I be able to just go to Software Update on the menu and get the official AT&T Firmware and not have to worry about all this technical stuff again?

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.).:

I figured we would have to wait until AT&T / Samsung released their Gingerbread source to compile a completely working kernel. Can you point me in the direction of a custom kernel w/ CWM that has video and everything working in stock rooted UCKK4?

That's legit Dman, it seems you learn a new trick on a daily basis; ports, roms and now kernels. I'm loving how the infuse development is still kickin!
So back on topic lol. Xia, Dman's CatyRom is one of the most recent GB roms (and plenty more), it's based off of the leaks from At&t. Once your ready, look into that!
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.
You can find that here.: http://serendipityinfuse.weebly.com/

Hi, I have noticed a ton of people curious about why AT&T people do not have ICS yet, so I thought I would answer that once and for all. I admit that I and others have gotten a little mad whenever people ask about this, but it seems they are not able to really find a clear answer, so here it is.
If you feel like this is well done, please sticky it at least until we get it all figured out.
I figure this would be best said i a Q and A type form.
Q: What is ICS, and why does everyone want it so bad?
ICS or "Ice Cream Sandwich" is android version 4.0.x. the next version, 4.1 Jellybean was just released as a slightly less important update, but ICS brought huge changes from Ginger Bread (2.3.x) the previous phone version (3.x HoneyComb was tablet only). ICS brings a slicker, darker, and better looking user interface, as well as many performance enhancements. Most of us want it more because it seems like we should than because it is actually that much better. That said it is still a great update, and most people will be happy to see it.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Q: Why is it so hard to get ICS for our phone, while others have it even though it is not officially out?
The main reason is our locked bootloader. That means it is not possible to flash or boot a custom kernel unless it is signed with Motorola's key. That is obviously impossible.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Q: What is a kernel?
the kernel is a major part of any operating system. you can think of it as a sort of layer between hardware and software. It is the part of an OS that communicates directly with a device's hardware. Android is based off the open source Linux kernel, meaning it is free for anybody to build and modify. However, Motorola has only released the source for the ME865, and partially for the MB865, meaning we can't really build a kernel anyways. Then of course, even if we could build one, we wouldn't be able to boot it with our locked bootloader.
ICS is not really complete without the newer kernel that goes with it
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What is Kexec, and is there any way to unlock the bootloader
The fact that I grouped these together would probably lead you to correctly believe they are related. Lets start with the second half. Simply put, NO. I hate to say it, but there is very little hope of EVER unlocking our bootloader, unless Motorola decides to do something like HTC did and allow unlocking.
Kexec is a method of hot switching kernels while still booted. It is actually just a linux tool that you can use on a computer, but it has been built for android essentially allowing you to bypass the bootloader. Theoretically it would be an easy way to run custom kernels. Then why don't we? Well a few reasons. One, we can't really get one built to begin with, especially because, at least to my knowledge, jimbridgman is the only one who actually knows what he is doing with kernel building, and he is only half here now that he got his fany new SGS3. Two, it does not work great. I am not sure the latest version is working at all on our phone, and even if it did, only one processor comes up, meaning it is really slow.

Q: What's the deal with these Droid 3 builds that supposedly boot?
Some people managed to build ICS for the droid 3 based of a 2.3.6 kernel. that means you can boot it on a stock GB kernel, and therefore you do not need to unlock the bootloader. Unfortunately that means it is not totally ICS, but it is still pretty good. Of course they are for a cdma phone, so that means no data, no calls, and no gps, making it kind of useless.
I am not going to give a link to them, but if you are really interested go search around. any of the Droid 3 AOKP and CM9 builds will boot just fine. Find more info in the dev section, but please don't start a thread asking about it.
We have been trying to port these to work for us, but that is proving more difficult than expected, and with ICS just around the corner, I don't want to put time into it. I do think it is possible, and if you are a dev looking to give it a shot, PM me and I will tell you all I know, and try to help out as much as I can.

Just one thing to inform about your last question's ans.. DROID 3'S ROMS DONT WORK ON OUR PHONE. IT WILL BOOTLOOP. SO DO NOT TRY FLASHING THEIR AOKP OR CM.. without backups and sufficient knowledge and experience atleast.. some changes have to be made in the rom before flashing.. i am trying to find all the files we must replace to get them working on our phone.. and just a FYI for those of you that wanna try.. other than droid 3, bionic is our nearest relative.. so u can edit and try their roms as well.. i did kinda get cm9 of bionic after replacing some required files.. but it bootlooped.. and of course bionic is cdma.. so.. good luck..

Please I emplore you to do your proper research before making incorrect posts like this. I constantly see posts from those who think they know it all, and post idiotic things like this. Nothing makes me madder than someone who does not know how to use google and the search function.
It takes less than 2 min. to make sure you CYA before posting bad information.
Both CM9 and AOKP boot, but with no radio, as has already been said in several posts now. I have tested both.
P.S. most of us devs in here have been working on this very thing for sometime now, and I have not seen you jump in on any of threads discussing the files or how to port or anything.

Agreed, They actually run extremely well, but obviously I can't stick with them with no radio.
P.S. this is my new best thought for porting, might take some extra build.prop work too. It did not boot for me, but I think we should be able to get it to. Then it is just a question of whether or not the radio will work. there is way more in build.prop on that than I would think.

I think it may work because it really adds the cm9 stuff to our own files rather than add our files to it. maybe not the cleanest way, but it might just work.

There's always a benefit of root my friend. First and for most is removing bloarware (AT&T preinstalled apps that take up memory and space in background) So many other reasons why root is best. How I describe it to people is like this. Taking a Governor off a car is similar to rooting an android phone. Technically there is only one ROM made from OTA ICS right now here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1960679 but there are others in the development section built of previous ICS "Leaks" we obtained. Such as SCV7, Swifty Trix, CM10, MIUI and a stock based off OTA as well. Hope this helped explain a little. Enjoy the power of the Dark side! :thumbup:

Umm, cm10 is a true opensource rom and not based on any leak/OTA, it is compiled from scratch. The only files taken from ICS are a few libraries and kernel modules and the like, and those have no bearing on version of ICS they were taken from.

Thanks man, you know I'm always willing to test as well. Well, as long as there's no hard brick possibility in the process lol. But with this new fxz back to ICS stock I'm feeling more secure now hahaha. Yes, I would be the perfectionist too if it came to making my own ROM. Probably why I never have attempted yet. Too much work n stress for me to handle. I give you Dev'so credit! Thanks for sharing link man. I'll give it a go n let you know how everything runs. (If I find anything new)

Tester
I am probably not an ideal tester, due to lack of technical knowledge regarding Android, but should you need a tester of the moderate abilities, and knowledge I would be more than willing to be of help if I actually was help. I currently am running the build of CM10 that is currently available, and am impressed with it, but look forward to your build with much anticipation. I can only take off my hat, as it were, to you, and all of the developers in this arena.

There's always a benefit of root my friend. First and for most is removing bloarware (AT&T preinstalled apps that take up memory and space in background) So many other reasons why root is best. How I describe it to people is like this. Taking a Governor off a car is similar to rooting an android phone. Technically there is only one ROM made from OTA ICS right now here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1960679 but there are others in the development section built of previous ICS "Leaks" we obtained. Such as SCV7, Swifty Trix, CM10, MIUI and a stock based off OTA as well. Hope this helped explain a little. Enjoy the power of the Dark side! :thumbup:

Ok if i use this method to root my atrix 2, can i unroot after that?
And i’ve heard that there are problems that is experienced by other atrix 2 users(superuser versions 3.0.3 and above), how do i fix that?
My atrix 2 is running stock ics from the official OTA , before that it was running 2.3.6 unrooted ,stock.
Thanks in advance for clearing my doubts.

No, and no. No on 2nd system because it still uses the same underlying stock ICS kernel.
If you took the OTA, then you are stuck on ICS. This has been the case with major android releases and not being able to go backward for a very long time.
Let's face it, ML1 has been a divisive update for a phone with a community that was already dying when MF1 came out.
I had been hoping that Beans, the Synergy team, or someone else would take one more crack at our phone, but sadly I don't think it's going to happen anymore.
We should be happy with what we have though. A stock rooted knoxless 4.3 rom to nandroid back and forth from and a healthy AOSP community that should carry us through at least another year or two (or until you get a new phone).
In the end, this phone and its glorious 2GB of RAM deserved better. By all means there's nothing preventing it from running the next few versions of Android so long as Qualcomm keeps providing fresh code and drivers. But I guess Samsung and Verizon had their own plans of obsolescence.
We just got the rooted stock 4.3 in the last day or so, correct?
I'm pretty sure you'll see some magic happen over the next few weeks and we'll get updated versions of your favorite 4.2 TW ROMs. I'd be shocked if we didn't get a few. There are still many developers with this phone who love Touchwiz, so why would they sit on their hands and not make it better?
Patience is a virtue.

I think in a bit of time they'll roll out. There were a few devs that said they'd update to it, but in no way should they be held to that. We just got a base last night, so I'd wait a bit longer. Besides, xposed can do great things for a stock rom.

It should be trivial to update/reissue the 4.1.2 roms to 4.3, but a lot of assumptions need to be made going forward.
Until somebody figures out Safestrap or Loki for the people who took the OTA and are now enknoxed, these roms should require MF1 or older. It would be horrible if somebody released a zip with the bootloader included.

Bootloader was not included in the stock rooted released last night. And I think those that jumped the gun and took the OTA may sadly be out of luck simply due to it being much less time intensive for a Dev to build of the recent stock release. Unless I am misunderstanding you.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I know the stock rooted doesn't include the bootloader, but that didn't stop me from triple checking before flashing it a few minutes ago.
I'm of the opinion that those who took the OTA are screwed just like people who did the same for the S4.

Agreed. Realistically it didn't take long at all for 4.3 to be cracked open. That will be what devs work off. Anyone on xda that knowingly took the OTA either purposely hung up their flashing habits or are really hedging their bets that someone will take the time to help the OTA folks. I just don't see that when there is this new stock release out there as a base.

Chances are, the locked bootloader probably won't get any attention at this point. S3 is an eol device and cracking the bootloader is probably too big of a task for devs to work on now...

It's the truth, its going to take somebody porting safestrap because there is no motivation for hashcode to do it for us (most likely use the vulns in the s4)

Not really sure of the point of this thread. People were warned in advance of the ota not to take it. Now after a few weeks and some incredible work by a group of guys, we have a flashable 4.3. I guess you need to break it down into further detail to me what your compkaint is. Those who were patient and did not ota are pretty stoked right now. Those that didnt listen, well Happy New Year to all.

Kinda OT, but does Safestrap support kexec on the S4? I have been trying to port Safestrap to the S3 and *almost* got it working (everything up to and including creating and installing slots) but I can't get it to actually boot a slot. Even if I could get it to do that, w/out kexec I doubt it would get very far.
O.T.A.
I am so glad I didnt take the OTA,I dont know how I would make it without my flaching fix..I love checking out all the new roms.That new 4.3 tw that just came out on the 31 is smoking fast.The only bad thing is it started a new addiction,Xposed Framework!!LOL Im late to the party on that but Im glad I tried it(My Wife isn't):good::good:

From my knowledge it does not use kexec like what we used to use but a kind of hack to the boot.img that loads the system into memory.. The thing tho is that the s4 and n3 use the same vulns

I've got my 4.3 TW flying. Set all animations to 0.25 in Dev options, and did the same in Nova. Also modded my debug.composition.dyn to gpu in the build.prop and it's rivaling my cm11 rom I was on. I know it will never be CM smooth, but the signal and camera improvements do it for me.
