Alltel just released the firmware update. And I found a Root for it as well. So I am Root.
BUT they have it just like Verizon has it now. You have to have mobile Hotspot plan, BUT only the new firmware can stop the use of the Wireless Tether.
So what I need is to downgrade my milestone X back to what it was before.. Like use a stock rom. But I can't access the clockwork recovery mode since I updated. I have searched almost everywhere. Please help me with this. I'm sure others are looking for a way to do this as well.
I can apply update.zip via Stock recovery mode, and i can also access bootloader.
Thank you
P.S: I'm new here, So if I posted this in the wrong topic area, Please just transfer it to the correct location. Thanks
I recently did the same and experienced the exact same frustration with tethering. I have searched and searched for answers. I too believe that we need to downgrade, but I now have an boatloader error. From what I am reading, the error comes from the phone not accepting the downgrade. Unfortunately, I can't find the 2.3.5 sbf to load back on it.
Hey guys.
I was wondering, if I'm rooted but I flashed the stock recovery can I do OTA updates?
Thanks!

Not sure. But don't know why you would want to. Can break root and block all root and boot loader unlock exploits.

We wait for the devs to check the updates for safety and then flash them. Have never taken an OTA in years. I like root and unlock. Don't want to be stuck stock.

I'm pretty sure you will lose root, so is that worth it to you? Or would you rather wait till all the devs are using the g7 base? Some are already on the G7 base right now.

Is that all that will happen? Or is there a possibility of bricking?
It could brick your phone if you've unlocked your bootloader. Otherwise you will lose root.
If you want to read all the discussion on the ota update do a search for it. There was umpteen threads about the same topic.

How do I know if I've unlocked my bootloader?
Last one, you have to use the search if you got more questions. Or wait for someone else to answer.

I appreciate an input on this. Updated my current ROM to 4.4.3 which is on firmware 2.21.605.2.I keep seeing people say you have to take the OTA ( if unlocked, S-0ff) to have new radios. If my ROM is on the new firmware do I still flash the new firmware zip?
Thank you

What ROM are you using? If you flash a custom ROM it does not update the firmware. I suggest reading this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723159

Thank you for your help so far. One more question can I use Flashify to flash the zip?
Thank you again for helping
Edit: Read more. Has to be done via fastboot

No, you wouldn't be able to use flashify as you'd need to be in RUU mode. It's really simple and the directions are pretty straightforward.

You can pretty much give up on xposed for N. Maybe all together. The dev is just more focused on real life and google keeps closing the security holes that things like xposed uses. Also he would already be working with the android O code

This is my first Samsung device since the S4 I knew this bootloader is locked, my question is once there's an exploit for root and we are able to flash ROMs through flashfire is it an easy method? I always used twrp, and if I wanted to go back to stock or something messed up how would I restore everything? Please and thank you
