Well yes if you install the OTA .. No if you wait for the great Devs to make a stock rooted ROM

Thanks for the heads up. It's about time they said something. Sounds good, but I'll wait till our Devs get there hands on it. Don't want the same issues some people are having with the EVO 4G update. Don't want to lose root, and have to wait.

Actually the EVO 4G owners are getting an update to fix the GB issues the same date that the Shift is getting the GB update

Netflix works for me and I've been on 2.3.4 for a while now. What I want is an updated kernel source for our devs to play with. Remember, HTC is listening. Tweet, Facebook, email them or whatever and ask that they please release the source

Yes, but if you do the OTA and have the new HBOOT you have to wait to root. I'd raher just wait for the Devs.

hope it has the updated sense. and we dont get the same exact thing the evo did

jwigley24 · Jun 16, 2011

i'm running GB shift deck ROM and the android version already says 2.3.4... is there a reason why we would want to update via OTA if we already have that version?

The leak that is over in the Android Dev section has sense 2.1. I wouldn't expect the final release to have anything different.

This will be good once the kernel source comes out, and we can get some overclocking going.

Also, once the kernel source comes out, this should give the kingdom rom port a shot in the arm, as we will be able to OC that rom, and make it run like it should run.

Shift deck is AOSP, right? This is the sense rom update. You should only update to this rom if you want a sense rom again.

I will be waiting to install it as well. The root process on this phone is already involved enough. It will probably be a long time, if ever, before it gets rooted again after they patch the root method we are currently using.

The one thing I am curious about is if we are stock rooted will we be able to ignore the notifications about updating or is it going to constantly notify us to update forever?

tokuzumi · Jun 16, 2011

According to Sprint's twitter account, the OTA is available now. I'm rooted, so I'm not going to mess with it, but for anyone who isn't rooted, and wants it, go get it...

If you turn off update notifications, you will never be notified.

Not showing for me. We need someone to get it and pull the .zip so the devs can root the update...

You could get a free dropbox account. Shove the file in there and then send the share link to the file....
