and do I need to revert from a bamf kernal?
If you are rooted you already have the OTA, you don't need it. If you want to install it you will have to un-root and go back to stock completely. Including the kernel.
Again if you are rooted.. YOU DO NOT NEED THE OTA...
um, isn't this not entirely true? doesn't it depend on WHEN it was rooted? (ie, if it was rooted before the update or with an old ROM). For instance, I am still using an old BAMF (1.3.2) and I certainly dont have any update, OTA or otherwise.
Please correct me if I'm wrong...
Do I have any reason to be concerned about missing out on the Gingerbread update if i don't keep up with OTAs?

If you're rooted and visit here often, then no. More than likely XDA will have a Gingerbread leak before it's officially released.

Yeah, that makes sense.
My last concern is nagging update reminders, if I am going to opt out. we'll see what happens.

If it were an official GB update devs would have came all over this section and it would be a sticky, white mess. And then a bunch of little kids would come in a month and say "HOLY POOPCRAP BROZ I JUS GOT N UPDAYT!!!!!11!"

Well this post has little life so far, perhaps no dev have seen it yet? Don't know, I guess I am exited because because of the leaks for 2.3.5 that are out there already
Check your baseband version. If it is like ucke3, then you probably downloaded the uckh1 update that was released ota kinda recently.
Stupid ATT i thought they promised to give an OTA update of gingerbread last month itself but like always you cant trust their words.
Update - I have some software update that is going on right now, wonder what is this all about file is 14542kb which is doubt will be GB

That's UCKH1
anyone now if you loose root ?
Yep, thats the pre-lim update that came a week or so ago (for me anyway) I installed it and actually my InFuse felt a bit speedier but it didn't break my root or anything either. So I'd say go for it (at your own risk of course) mileage may vary.
It's the UCKH1 baseband update and possibly bootloader update aswell.
I tried playing by the rules and using this updated version for about 3 days. Battery life was horrible. I had to switch to my N86 halfway through the day so it could charge V_V I would recommend getting infused. It's so much better than stock. So. Much. Better.

I didn't lose root from the last AT&T push for UCKH1 when I was running the stock ROM.
Hey guys. I'm just wondering if there's anyone here that's rooted but hasn't done Cheesecake yet, and you're willing to provide me with the contents of 2 files...
If you want to apply the new update coming soon, then you probably would want to undo all file edits made in order to do Project Cheesecake. So I'm probably going to include an edit/unedit feature for Cheesecake in the Megatool...
So, if you're rooted but haven't done Cheesecake, could you please provide me with the following 2 files (use a root browser like ES File Manager, or just use adb):
/system/etc/motorola/com.motorola.blur.service.blur/defaults.xml
/system/etc/motorola/com.motorola.blur.setup/defaults.xml
You can PM me the files or just post them here (you can just copy/paste their contents if you don't feel like uploading stuff).
Thanks.
I'll post them in a sec..

If you guys want to keep root, DO NOT INSTALL the upcoming OTA. It is 2.3.6 and we have not found a way to root this one. yet. I am sure that once it comes out and lfaber06 and I can get a hold of it, then we might be able to come up with a way to use the updates to everyones advantage, and you wont lose root, if us give us time to work it all out.

I was worried about this, so I did the forever root thing and modified the mount_ext3.sh /system/bin/. I still have root after successfully updating today.
However, I'm assuming that there is no clear way to root AFTER the ota update (if unrooted previously), correct?

I'm guessing one could use fastboot to restore the 2.3.5 system image from the fxz, then root and use clockworkmod to restore a rooted 2.3.6 system image...
(or just flash a rooted system image directly with fastboot?)

Motorola is rolling out the update to 1000 testers and we'll probably be receiving it in a couple weeks.

2.3.6 is still being tested officially though I think
I see zip archive with 2.3.6 patch by Motorola (today`s released patch). Bootstraper don`t flash there. What tool is needed?
Probably a tool that isn't made yet... just give the devs some time to tear through the update and work it out.

There is a soak test going on now. The update should be available to all in a few weeks.
If you use the forever root stuff then you will keep root with the 2.3.6 update. I still have root after doing 2.3.6

So far everything feels snappier in 2.3.6 and the camera is taking better quality photos. I've only had the update for about 4 hours but so far it is a noticable improvement over 2.3.5

From what I can tell, the auto focus performs MUCH faster with this update. With 2.3.5 you had to wait forever to get it to focus. The end result is much better photos. I don't really know all the technical jargon as to why its better, I just know that the pictures look better with this update!

I'm running rooted stock and it's forcing me as well. I thought it was disabled on all the root roms even stock ones? Not sure how to stop it other than keep defering it.
OTA
I just accepted the OTA, restored to factory defaults, one step rooted it, got rom manager from the play store, booted into clockwork and then reapplied my rom. No biggie.

What's up crew?
After my update the baseband version is I535VRLG7.
I used Mobile Odin pro to PRE-ROOT the OTA before flashing it.... Successfully I should add.
I don't have the OTA Handy for you though, but if you do a little searching around this forum I'm sure someone has it here for downloading.
The OTA did not update my modem though, I had to flash the G7 baseband version separately. Found it on RootzWiki.
Edit:
Found it: OTA update.

You guys can .... SAFELY... check your device to see if you're vulnerable to the hack on this site.
http://www.androiddoes.net/news/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-ussd-hack-test/
Read up on the page.. it says something about if Your Dialer screen coming up and your IMEI is being displayed on it then you have the Vulnerability.. if nothing happens.. or if your dialer comes up with nothing being displayed then you're probably safe.

Hey guys,
So I'm running a stock S7 (AT&T) and have read tons of threads about how to fix battery drain, etc etc. And I'm not finding any great result.
I've tried different debloats and dumbing down lots of system settings, but haven't found that sweet spot yet. I know disabling some things can end up causing further drain, so maybe I'm doing it wrong.
Has there been any definitive solution to fixing the Android System drain? Mine is constantly 30% or more drain at the end of the day.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

API2 has an updated bootloader. You can't downgrade to any other version of the AT&T firmware unless it's Bootloader 4... This is what I meant when I said "You can't go back."

Ah, alright. Thanks a lot, man. I'll do this when I get home. I keep getting pesky update requests!
I read everything over and i see what you're talking about. Download and flash all updates besides the BL which is the bootloader... But I'm trying to get away from the battery drain. Should I flash a previous firmware instead of the current for better battery life?
Also, what's the big benefit of having an older bootloader? So you can upgrade and downgrade at will?
