Gingerbread ota is now available!

EDIT: I'm not sure I made everything clear.
1. Make sure you've downloaded the OTA update (though you haven't installed it yet).
2. Mount your device as a USB drive.
3. In that USB drive look in the download directory.
4. There'll be a .zip file of almost 300MB in size. That will probably be the Gingerbread OTA ROM update.
5. From that .zip file you should be able to find something called recovery.img.

Not sure what else needs to be clarified.

you found it at /download/OTA Update file.zip/firmware.zip , correct? cause thats where i found it, and would explain why i couldnt find it simply using ASTRO on the phone.

On a different note, would you say updating was worth losing root? Thats the only thing holding me back so far.

If you don't want to lose root flash x99's like I said previously. I know you said you didn't like or were having trouble setting everything back up, if you use "my backup root" from the market it makes it really easy. You can backup your apps+ data, user data and even your homescreen settings. It's really easy to use.
I would suggest before breaking root backup everything with my backup, make a nandroid, then flash the ROM. If you have issues getting everything restored just like you want, then you can restore your nandroid and go ahead with htc release. Just my 2 cents... I just don't see a reason to break root if you don't have to

I really do appreciate the advice crump. I actually did go ahead and flash the x99 rom after performing a nandroid backup using rom manager. After flashing and installing titanium, I discovered thatthat not everything was restored, and not everything from my google account was listed under my apps. Which was very frustrating.

The only reason I'm willing to break root, is because I only use a few Apps that need super-user privileges. Rom manager, add-free, titanium, set cpu. I could never get wifi-tether to work, which was disappointing.

Anywas, I actually did do what you said, minus using my backup. So, thanks!

Fixed!!! Regarding the slow down when pressing the home button,where the screen went to an "HTC logo", and and then read "loading" for perhaps about 15 seconds. I called Sprint Support. They had me pull the battery and re-boot. They also said they pushed along a few "refresh" commands to my phone. Thanks SPRINT!!!

Went ahead and updated to GB. I must say it was worth breaking root. Hopefully they fix root eventually, but for now it was worth it. Thanks for all the help crump and dsevil!

I gotta say HTC really impressed me with the update. I really like the power controls in the notification bar.

Yeah makes me feel like I got some of the good things from my old epic 4g. Now if only there was a root option for GB evo shifts...
