Root New Update on The Horizon Breaks OneClick Root Method!

It has been along time since I got an OTA but I believe that you can decline it until someone figures out a way to root it.

Yes that is exactly what we should all do, do not accept the update. If there is anything else in the update that is worth while, a dev will clean out the root patch and give us the rest as a .zip
 
The crazy ant-root nazis strike again. I hope the Devs for liberty break this too. I love Kejars work.
 
Time to freeze blurupdater_vzw.apk so we don't get nagged nagged nagged. I've seen phones apply updates automatically without asking.
 
Every update for every phone seems to try and patch root methods. There is always a way around it. Give the devs time and they will probably have the update broken down with a updated ROM that will block the OTA for you. That way you get all the fixes without losing root and ROM's.

My thoughts exactly! Phone devs should leave rooting easy so people who want root access can get it simply, while those who do not don't have to worry about potentially breaking anything :D

Can't we all just get along and allow root? I'm sure some of the devs even have rooted phones because they like the additional control it provides! Until then, I guess it's time to root and wait it out :o

BaH! Anyone whose phone receives an "official" OTA update and let's it install without knowing it ...
deserves it. :p

On the Incredible 2 you get 30 seconds to back out of an update. There is no cancel button. You have to know to hit the back button and you have to see the notification. Anyone who spends 30 seconds away from their phone will get the update whether they deserve it or not.
 
P3droid just posted that they found a new root method for the update.

He did caution, however, not to take the update yet as he will not release the exploit.

is there a way to turn it off now - before they roll out the update? :/
 
Freeze just updater 2.3.4? or upgrader 1.0.0 as well?

A little pain in the butt Verizon/moto.. but as long as there is issues that are fixed, go for it.
 
You want to freeze or rename the blur_updater not the market app. Firmware updates do not come via google market.
