Haxel is correct in saying that you are in the wrong section, but Haxel is confused because you WILL NOT recieve the OTA because you flashed a new rom. If you were just to root your phone and not change your rom, then yes you still would of recieved the update. But because you flashed a new rom, no you will not recieve the OTA from tmo.
Chances are that it will be on here by mid day tomorrow anyways. Thats sooner then you would mostlikely be getting it from the OTA, haha. (if it really does come out)

Hi everyone
I was gifted an unlocked t-mobile vibrant a few days ago. Need to confirm if I can update the 2.2 firmware when it is made available without losing the unlock? Fyi, when I press on firmware update in the settings menu it says no firmware..wonder why that is...hope someone here can clarify
P.s. Already tried searching on the forums but didn't find anything that confirms the above

First of all, wrong section. Second, you shouldn't lose your carrier unlock when you update firmware. Lastly, the reason it says "No firmware" is because T-mobile has not officially released any updates for the Vibrant. When an OTA update is made available to you, it will show up.
if you need it to remain unlocked because you are using it on another carrier you won't get the 2.2 ota from t-mobile. However i'm willing to bet within hours of its release we will have it here to be able to flash for rooted users.

If you ever have questions, please post them in the Q&A subforum, not the development subforum. Your thread has been moved to the Q&A sub-forum.
As far as your question goes: Theoretically, you shouldn't loose it, but since there are no 2.2 updates, yet, there is no way to know 100%.

This thread belongs in Q&A. The Development forum is for development of new roms, kernels and radios, and the discussion of these developments.
Also, the answer to your question is in this sticky at the top of this forum.

How to restore to stock.
Look at the stickies of this section. If it was a snake it would have bit you.
People are gonna be mean to you : /
I just wasnt sure if that would work so i ask and i know ppl will be mean. I always make sure to ask before doing
1. belongs in Q & A
2. you do not need to unroot and re-root to flash new radios or roms or RUU's. If you are rooted...you can do whatever you want
3. Stickied in this forum just above your post are guides to both rooting and returning to stock.
Tons of ppl have already asked just take the time to read. Reading Sucks donkey balls but if you aren't willing to read then you aren't gonna be allowed to play this game.
YEA!!! and if you ask a question in the wrong section again, mean people will track you down and beat you! cause its easier to do that than just answer a question!
Not to be rude but don't you think if it didn't work it wouldn't be stickied?
I get to leave work in 20 minutes. Yay.

i found the same post in Q& A for the incredible so I was skeptical on the Tutorial linked but it worked ....
Hi all
I am a little bit confused?
I got my gf (girlfriend) a motorola atrix from website called PANAMOZ when it arrived I found out it was ME860 (HKTW) not MB860 (ATT 4G)
Some of the stuff was in chinese like keyboard etc etc.
I was going to get her a SGS II same as what I have but she said it was too big for her.
Now the problem I have got is it is running android 2.2.2 and my SGS II is on android 2.3.4
How can I get the motorola atrix ME860 on android 2.3.4?
Do I root it, sbf it via RSD lite, unlock bootloader (if so how),fastboot vol up vol down, etc etc.
I have been reading for 2 days on xda forum and I think I am going to go crazy!
My last moto was the wings! and with my nokia's, HTC, iphones, Blackberry's and Samsung's I have not had any problems updating to latest official or un-official firmware.
So all I would like is some help and support for you guys to get the atrix ME860(HKTW) on gingerbread 2.3.3 or 2.3.4
She is not interested in all types of mods or flashing custom roms every other week!
Just a stable phone that won't let her down and yet be SMART.
Thank you in advance for all your help-advice-tutorials-link
PS
I have been reading about using RSD and putting on 1.2.6 then root but when I try that, RSD lite just says fail. When I try the HKTW sbf (4.0.500) it does work but it gives me android 2.2.2 froyo on chinese firmware.
I live in UK and don't mind installing US, UK, EU firmware/sbf as long as my gf can use it and not have chinese rubbish on it.
Its knowing how to do this and in what order I need to do this. I have managed to root it using gingerbreak 1.20apk
Thanks for your help guys n gals

No because this is the dev forum. It is not for questions. Please read the rules before you post. Dev forum is for devs and people who help test out their devs.

K thanks for that m8.
for a guy with 6 posts and a thanks meter on zero after being a member since 2009, you should probably not show attitude to more accustomed members who know what they are talking about. this is clearly the wrong section, regardless of the reasoning for why you'd like it here.
I would go to settings menu>about>systemupdates and see if it will update first. Trying to get into rooting and unlocking right now would take longer..... meaning longer more complicated process.
An infraction was given to the OP to remind them to not create question threads in the developer forums. Hopefully this will prevent them and others from doing so in the future.
Hi there, I recently got a SGS2 LTE (basically same thing as the skyrocket). I want to know how to root and install the latest version of ICS if possible. I've read a bunch of guides but I think the kernels mentioned in those guides are outdated and there are so many files I don't know which one to use. Pretty confusing if someone can help.
This is the wrong section, for your phone you want to be here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1399
I haven't heard of any ICS leaks for that phone so you are out of luck.
Don't use any roms from this section they will not work.
Dang sorry. Any idea if ICS will be coming to this phone by samsung or something?
Probably not. You're still in the wrong forum btw.

It´ll get the official ICS with TouchWiz propably in Q1 2012 according to this: http://www.netzwelt.de/news/89220-samsung-galaxy-s2-erhaelt-ice-cream-sandwich-update.html
The site above has the info from the italian blog HDBlog and they spoke with Samsung Italy
I figured I would visit you here in the T-Mobile S5 forum since you guys would definitely know more about this particular issue than I do. Like the title states, I'm wondering if you know of anyone in your forum flashing a T-Mobile ROM to a Verizon SM-G900V, and if so which would be a good choice of ROM to do it? And which route should I take as for flashing firmware with Odin, or if any of the Verizon firmwares are compatible with your ROM's, and I wouldn't need to flash a T-Mobile firmware at all. I looked and I can't seem to find where anyone has posted about this. Theoretically it should be able to work with the right combination. I'm definitely not new at doing this stuff but this is a whole new ball game for me. I wouldn't know where to begin at flashing a T-Mobile ROM to this phone, being that I have to work within the parameters of the stupid locked bootloader. Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.
Edit: I just realized I posted this in the wrong area I think. I meant to post it in the Q&A forum. Sorry about that. I guess I am too tired to do this right now and should've waited until the morning. Lol

Thank you. Again, I'm sorry about that. It wasn't until I went back looking for my post, that I realized I posted this in the wrong forum.
