Hey all. I have a problem I hope you guys can help me with. I got the update on my rooted TBolt toady. It downloaded and powered off no problem but when it went to install it, it gets about
 
You never install an OTA update on a rooted phone. I am not sure what you should do at this point, this thread needs to be in the All things root section.
 
My phone isn't rooted, but I've def read over and over that you should not install the update if you are rooted :(. Hope it works out for you.
 
i just thought doing the OTA took away your root, but didn't brick the damn thing.

my only thought OP is to pull the battery and replace.
hold power and volume down until you get to the bootloader screen
wipe data
and reboot.

you will loos all your apps and contacts but once you sign in they should all start downloading again.

also, you may be able to place a "PG05IMG.ZIP) file of an OTA on your SD card and flash it through Hboot and get you back to complete 100% out of the box state. this will at least get you to a usable phone, then from there you can take the OTA or root and flash a roote friendly version of the OTA to keep root and the latest software.

but from now on, Dont try the OTA over top of a rooted system. if you were running Gingerbread or CM7 or something not even close to stock 2.2.1 sense you could run into some serious issues.
