Root Blocking the OTA updates from Sprint

[mydian]

I'm not the best person to answer this but I'll take a stab at it. I believe if super user is installed as a system app it shouldn't be removed from a factory reset. A factory reset removes all user apps and settings and makes the phone appear as it did when brand new.

You should be able to make a CWM backup, and then do a factory reset from within CWM not in the phone's settings menu. You'll have a baackup if anything goes wrong. If you don't have CWM yet, and do a reset in the phone settings menu it will work but I'm not sure if you'll lose root or not.

Alright. install CWM then make a back up then do my testing. Worst case scenario I have to reinstall CWM and restore the backup.

Also, since I'm on 2.3.4 and the most current up-to-date CWM is for 2.3.6 (are the versions of CWM specific to the OS version of the phone?) should i use that one?

Use the new CWM. It works fine with 2.3.4 and fixes a lot of bugs.

Not trying to toss out the guide of this thread but with the changes made to the build.prop file is this guide needed as well?

Only is you're planning on staying with 2.3.4 and want to stop downloading the OTA update. If you upgrade to a newer version then no.

What I did and works, Boost, is go to apply the update after it downloads and says "system update avail" then ASAP hold power to get to shut down screen and power off phone. Boots into Cloclware Mod, and BAM, reboot phone and go to Software update says "no update avail" - still on ,34 no .36 - and never get asked again for the update.
