Root Oops ?

[Rileyy-]

I flashed the custom 2.2 ROM and I didn't use odin to back everything up . Will I still get the froyo update when it comes out ? Or what would I have to do ?

I did the same thing - BIG MISTAKE! My predictive texting does not work any more (I type hellp and it suggests '!')!

My favorite apps don't work anymore.

DO NOT UPGRADE TO 2.2! IT IS ALL EYE CANDY AND NO (LESS!) SUBSTANCE.

I have no complaints about it . It works great for me I just want to know if I will still get the OTA update when it comes out .

Probably not. You will more that likely have to flash back to DK18 (stock) The OTA will search for existing files on your phone and when it finds them will bypass you. Whe the OTA hits, you'll hear about it here in seconds. Flashing back to stock should take less than 10 minutes.

Lets make sure you have what you need first:
Go here: Absolutely everything you need is here or linked to .
Samsung Galaxy S/SPH-D700 - XDA-Developers
GetODIN here: http://www.sdx-downloads.com/devs/noobnl/Odin3+v1.61andepic.pit.zip extract that file someplace handy.
Get the full DI18 .tar here: http://www.multiupload.com/X9AB1U56JV
If you plan on updating to DK28 (2.2.1) again then you should get this too:

Follow the instructions in the first link above.
The instructions in that guide are really good other than not mentioning you don't need the pit step for DI18 or DK28
That and the only thing checked in ODIN is autoreboot.

OOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR......................just remain rooted and flash a ROM that has the official 2.2 incorporated into it. If you go back to stock and then accpet the 2.2 update you will likely be unrooted for a long time. I will leave it at that since I have written about this in other threads. I would HIGHLY recommend remaining rooted and just flashing a ROM(stock or custom) that is based on the official 2.2 update. There is NO difference between what you would update OTA and a stock rooted ROM....NOTHING. So what do you gain???...NOTHING! What do you lose??? ROOT!!!....and potentially for a very long time. If that doesn't bother you then that is fine. But if you like what root access has to offer, then you might reconsider. Just keep an eye on the mainstream developers....there is a chance they will have the official update out before Sprint.
