Ok first off I don't know a whole lot about figuring this stuff out, but trying to learn.So while poking around the zip for the ota update I came across the ATT Readytogo.apk, could we put the original one in there that allowed us to get root and then install the update. Would the original apk stay and allow us to use that exploit to gain root on 2.2 if you did not originally have it or lost it.
I don't know if this is even close but thought it might work. I am still running 1.85 rooted so not too comfortable with testing this.
Let me know what you smart people think.

The one issue with this is once you modify the ota zip it ruins the signature and it will no longer pash the signature verification and it will fail

Ready2Go is patched. Regardless, even on the old exploitable version, required an app to be installed from ATT's side....which they disabled.
Darn I figured it sounded too easy

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:

Anyone figured out a way to remove HTCLinkify on the new rom? The old method doesn't seem to work.
Are you rooted? You should be able to with an app like Root Explorer, Rom Toolbox, or Titanium Backup.

Yep but when you remove it all links stop working. On 1.85 there was a setting in build.prop that needed change. It no longer works on 2.2
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
The old hack is not working anymore, at least I could not get it to work, I even tried adding the second extra line to the build prop. That sucks! Especially when just about all the other mods are working. Friggin apple!
I was planning to move to the rooted stock 2.20, but I won't move from 1.85 until there is a fix for this nonsense.

I think the build prop edit will still work on any rom without the new hboot. Which is anything not the OTA or RUU. I would verify that but I think that's correct.
How do I know if it is removed?
One way is to go to settings and see if there is an App Associations menu item. Another is to email yourself a YouTube link, And when you click the link when you receive the email, if it asks you which application you'd like to use, then great success.

I used this fix from the EVO 4G forum.
I have the app associatons on Settings, but cant corroborate if the links are working
without linkify.
Honestly not sure how it should work.
I'm using the apk he posted.

Is there any confirmation of this? I'm wanting to move to a stock rooted 2.20 ROM, but I've been waiting until I can confirm there is a way to fix this "fix".
De-Linkify-ication and tethering, plus root would be a-ok for me until a full on, official Jelly Bean release.
Can someone on the stock/rooted 2.20 kindly report back?

I'm on the 2.20 stock rooted rom and the build.prop edits do not disable linkify. I used to do it the same way on 1.85/1.89/etc and it worked fine on those, but does not on 2.20.

Not sure what I'm doing right or wrong but I have not seen Linkify come back on any rom after the first time I removed it. I'm currently running stock 2.2 with no hotspot hack, generic icons, no EQS, and the Sense 4.5 camera. I never wipe 'system' when flashing new roms either. Not sure if any of this could be a reason but I'm just trying to help.

Removing the apk just means you can't change the app associations. It doesn't fix the inherent issue, which is that we want a menu to pop up and give us options for what to do when we touch a link.
Previous to 2.20, all the AT&T base roms could be fixed by adding one line to build.prop and changing one other. This doesn't work any longer.
Well,
The link that I posted on the previous page solved that for me.
I have an apps associations on Settings, and when I click on a link on gmail it asks me if I want to open it with Chrome or the stock browser.
The thing is there are 2 entries in the build.prop for 'ro.da1.enable=true'
one at the top and another one on the bottom of the file.
I tried the method you just mentioned and it still doesn't work.
When I tap the Check for updates button, the phone will check for updates then randomly quit to the previous screen. No message or anything. I have 1.85. I got a replacement for my broken Hox and this Hox came preloaded with 1.85

You should trade with someone that wants 1.85 and who is stuck with 2.20

My wife is having the same problem on hers.. It'll go as far as downloading it and complete the download, but it never ever updates the phone. And she doesn't look forward to a factory reset

Try finding the file on the internal SD and deleting it, then try to update again. Keep in mind that you can only check for updates once a day, so move the date on the phone ahead a day or 2 in order to check again.
Also, if you are not already aware, be warned that installing the latest 2.20 AT&T firmware plugs the root exploit, and therefore will render you unable to root, unlock the bootloader, and installing custom ROMs and other flashed mods (until a new root method is found). So if you have any interest in doing those things, don't update.
Like I said I am new at this whole android thing....love it, But I heard it was much more customizable.....cant find a root for At&t One X software 3.18....I've seen posts but are unsure if they work for my software. Without rooting is there a way to customize say the status bar notifications....(without Omega, worst program ever) what are my options for customizing I use nova launcher prime now...but even it only allows so much, is there a root? is there a program that will allow me to customize this phone to fit me?
Any help appreciated

Nope. Root is essential to customizing such things. All I can say is search search and don't forget to SEARCH and follow directions word for word. Good luck friend

no.
The OTA should be rolling out within a month or so I imagine.. hopefully you won't have to wait too long.
You must not have looked very hard, there is a root exploit for your firmware version.

My index thread found as one of the sticky threads at the top of General (also linked in the top post in Development) has all that you need, and clearly calls out which root method to use for 3.18: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
Read up and understand what you are doing, before attempting anything.
Ok....so I followed the thread and re-read it over and over....found the android sdk method as well downloaded the SDK package with eclipse, still following instructions tried to test adb server and making sure phone was recognized
....and it never does register, I have debugging on....I have open source downloads on, the proper drivers for the phone....I got onexchopper, busybox, and ownage all in the same folder as the adb....when I plug the phone in to the usb post it all reads....HTC SYNC off, I plug in to the frost usb ports, would that matter?

So there's really no simple way to do this. I have the otapkg.zip in my phone but it's only 2.57 kb. Could it be a failed download? I got a message that HTCdm stopped working earlier. Sorry for the noobish question, even after a year on android in not all that familiar.

It doesn't seem all that difficult to me. As long as you're SuperCID and s-off it should be simple. Did you read the whole thread? There's nothing I can really tell you here that hasn't already been said there. Your simplest option is the RUU.
Sent from my Evita
Yea I read pretty much all of it, I'm completely stock so I'm not sure what amount applies. The only reason I was trying to get around manually downloading it is that my horrible internet connection at home which makes it a full day of downloading.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Either way, you're gonna have to download it somehow. The RUU is the easiest way. If you ever want to modify your phone though it must be done before taking this update because the current exploit has been patched in the update. You'll get a much better experience on a custom ROM but that's entirely up to you.

Could be. Delete it and try to check for the update again.
I tried that and deleting the data on the Google services framework too, got nothing. So I guess this weekend I'll do the ruu.
