Would this, possibly work for the Shift?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1159306
I don't know Android well enough to know if this is at all helpful/useful for us Shift owners. I come from WebOS land and only got my first Android phone a month or so ago.
Just use shift gui it checks for the correct bootloader and everything
mikshifted g!
I think op was asking if this could root ota or gb stock roms.

Someone tried this method without modifying the files and got a device error. Maybe the files can be modified to work on the shift....

yes, i was one of those who foolishly accepted the OTA Gingerbread and lost root. I'm new to Android and didn't know any better. OTA updates don't wreck the equivalent of root on WebOS devices, which is where I'm coming from.

Ok Dude...I was so Drunk when I thought of this. Get the Sprint Downgrade tool A.K.A RUU TOOL. Use it it will Downgrade you to 2.2 or 2.1 IDK. Then go ahead and Re-Root

That's been tried. I think the problem is the OTA changed the hboot so the ruu image is incompatible.

Correct.
Someone with an uprooted shift pm me I have some things I need tested out

I applied the new OTA last night, so of course I can't use unrevoked, but I don't have 4g service in my state at all so I'm just wanting to root my phone regardless of the issue they were having.
If someone could hook me up with the file I'd appreciate it.

got it at work. if you don't have it by tomorrow am drop me a line (PM) and I'll send it to you
I'm pretty sure you already had to be rooted in order for it to work in the first place, nobody has come up with a root from the update yet...
This fix currently supports the following Android phones:
Sprint EVO 4G (HTC Supersonic) that has not already been updated with the 2010-06-29 OTA update.

recalled unrevoked? was unrevoked overheating for it to be recalled? jokin if you were not rooted before the update then you will have to wait for a new root method. I do have the file if you are still in need of it.

I guess I misread this post? The way I understand it they released an unrevoked for the OTA that became available yesterday then pulled it.

Yea the unrevoked update won't help you. One you apply the official OTA you are out of luck.
Sorry.

No problem. I'm sure as soon as this whole WiMAX issue is sorted out there will be devs focusing on rooting the OTA.

I'm not really familiar with the Android OS at all since I've only had my Droid 2 for about 3 weeks. When I rooted the first time, I didn't really know what i was doing. I was just copying and pasting commands. My question is after the OTA update breaks my root, what commands can I begin with in the command prompt to reroot. I know the first half of the instructions where you are pushing files to the phone can be cut out i think? but i'm not sure where it's safe to begin. i don't even know how clearly i just explained that but i hope somebody catches on and can help. thanks a lot.
Yup. You can reroot on 2.2.20.a955.
Instructions are here:

thanks. it took a few tries to get the # up in command prompt. but i finally got it rerooted.

Yes, but not with Superoneclick as it doesn't work with the update from LG. Assuming you have Clockwork Mod Recovery through NVflash, (great instructions http://www.techofweb.com/technology/flashing-cwm-recovery-g2x.html , simply flash a pre-rooted version of this update from xboarder54 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179748
1 click nvflash app to install clock work .
download rooted 2.33 rom or nandriod backup and flash
in clock work.
works fine..

trying to restore LG-P999-V10f/--i get--MD5 mismatch while trying to unroot. I already restored to a nandroid running 2.2 can I just run the LG update or must I unroot in order to update baseband? Will I be able to unroot if I update using LG (I have DW model). Help please.
Funny thing is I have been with Android since the G1. I have yet to root any of my android phones. I know, I'm a noob. I'm trying to learn how to root my G2x recently but want to make sure I find something solid so my phone will work 100% or close to that. Now that we have GB, I would assume the devs are updating their ROMs so I'm reading up to see what's the new or hot ROM for the G2x. If anyone can point me in the right direction or have some time to school this noob - I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

You can try, depending on your ROM, but I seriously doubt anything you want to happen will come out of that. You might be stuck in a boot loop, it could brick it, it could just screw up all kinds of stuff. VERY bad idea in general. My advice:
Be patient.
im still running HTC Mecha.. I just used Revolutionary to root.. and still have everything running good on my stock ROM.

Mecha is the HTC codename for the device, much like the EVO 4G is known as the Supersonic and the Incredible S/Incredible2 as the Vivo/Vivow, respectively.
just be patient. Usually a workable, root version will be released shortly before or after the OTA goes live. I would not except an OTA on a rooted phone. just keep an eye out on XDA.
Since you're rooted and stock the best thing to do is to wait until they release a version of it so you can install it via recovery like already mentioned. If you accept an OTA update while rooted bad things will most likely occur.
You will not he able to install an ota if your rooted. This is due to the custom recovery. When the update checks the recovery, it will fail.

Here is the link to the OTA update.zip from the 4.0.4 AT&T update:
http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~willi348...2.7-1.85.502.3_R2_releasenin45grzkfswb95v.zip
A few caveats:
1) This is for devs only. I have no idea how to manually use this to update. If anybody knows how, shoot me a pm and lmk.
2) This includes a few firmware updates. Among them is an update to HBOOT that adds write protection to the boot.img partition (and possibly others). What this means is that with this new HBOOT, we cannot flash the boot.img from recovery anymore, even with an unlocked bootloader. We can still flash it from fastboot though. Keep this in mind as we may not be able to revert back to an older HBOOT, at least currently.
Excellent.

No but I hope it gets root soon. I had 1.85 and was unable to root it hopefully 2.20 works for me. On a side note the
2.20 update is really good made my phone a lot faster and gave me more ram. Also I changed the recent apps button to
The menu button.....I cried tears of joy for that one.
Thank you. For some reason I get the HTC dm has stopped error every time I click the art update in settings. Rather annoying.

My phone is currently useless. Can I try updating it like this before I factory reset it. I also how do I go about using this
How does one go about flashing this? I dont need it, im already on it, but would b appreciated if u could update the op with instructions. just a suggestion. Lol

How would you go about installing this. Tired of waiting for the update to be available to me, can it be installed on a non rooted phone with a locked bootloader?

Honestly, I have no idea how one would manually go about using this to update. I mainly posted it for the devs to get their hands on. If anybody knows how to manually use it to update, shoot me a PM and i'll update the OP.
Also, dropbox shut off my sharing for a couple days. I'll upload it somewhere else and repost a new link in a bit.

root was achieved on 1.85
i found this post first but the one-click roots never worked for me, though some 'acted' like they were successful. i ended up having to do it the manual way here.
note that on the first post it notes that "ATT COULD SHUTDOWN THE UPDATE SERVERS AND KILL THIS"
i'm not smart enough to confirm, but supposedly it's because this exploit requires an update check on the phone and uses a file from that check. I've also read that the 2.20 update has killed the exploit
i've seen at least one report here where someone tried the 1.85 exploit after 2.20 came out and they were still able to root. maybe if you act fast enough you might get lucky
