READ FIRST
DO NOT APPLY THE UPDATE.ZIP twice, repeat, DO NOT APPLY THE UPDATE.ZIP twice or risk a brick.
Everyone should know that if you apply this update and VZW changes the radio in the official then you probably won't be able to upgrade your radio to it.

Also if you do this you will not be able to revert back to stock until a new RUU is released, and the problem with a new RUU is that they may close all known root methods. If you try with any current RUU's you will get a "Main version is older" error.

The radio is very good and 720p will work but everyone should know this might prevent future radio updates.


READ SECOND:
In case the OTA comes out and there is something truly different, you can follow this procedure to downgrade hboot and install an older RUU:

dinc_ota.zip

Put the file from mediafire.com on your SDCARD as update.zip

If rooted, you have to RUU your phone back to stock. Download the image from the link below, put on root of SDCARD and then boot into bootloader(powerdown, hold power and optical button in) then go to bootloader, then it should load the img and then apply it.

Then go to STOCK recovery.

Apply update.zip

Reboot, then activate.

Then follow this:
(Mine got stuck on rebooting phone, I just unplugged my phone and then plugged it back in again really fast again, it seemed to work like normal just starting the UnrEVOked 3.0 with phone hooked up)

UnrEVOked v3.0 Is Out - ROOT NO LONGER REQUIRED + NEW CLOCKWORK 2.5!!! - xda-developers

Then one final step for now to install root again really easy.
Download this

Put it on your SD card, then reboot into clockwork recovery
Go to install zip from SD-Card
Choose the payload-update.zip
You have root again and busybox is installed.
Some reason it UnrEVOked 3.0 didnt reroot my phone but doing the steps above will have you with the latest update and 2.0 radio with 100% working root and working 720p video.

DO you need to be rooted for this to work? Rooting is on my to-do lists.....right there with bull holes in the head and spraying insecticide in my eyes.....lol
 
I've seen RUU mentioned in a few places but no explanation of exactly what that is?

once again never said you got it from them. please read, whatever tho if people can't get any more OTAs because radio is too high they will have you to thank, i also know you cant ruu back once this is flashed

What if you were to get this update, then root. Later you flash another ROM onto the phone, would you then not be able to RUU?
 
Ok I unrooted my phone. Now how to i apply the OTA update? I see it in my astro file manager

Looks like nothing to fear no more.

How to revert back to an earlier version of HBOOT - Android Forums

Maybe you just mad because UnrEVOked was trying to do something with this OTA and get creds for it or something. The file was already leaked on a few forums last night anyways, so there's no need to get upset about something so dumb.
 
IMO this is a little risky, even for me "lover of bridge jumping" but is 720P really that important to anyone? I mean, it's not a bad idea to wait maybe a little bit longer for the professionals to make it possible with less risk. Posting something like this is sure to get less inclined people pissed at you. Especially when you have people asking the question "what does RUU mean?". Some people are just post happy
 
I loaded the file, but for some reason can't get my wifi to work. Any suggestions?
 
Oh noes....RUU doesn't work with it? Wow whoever did this update may be screwed. I'm with borgey I'm waiting on the devs to release a known working version.
 
I backed up and then installed the file and my camera stopped working. So I reloaded my original and guess I will wait. I have root and nothing to do with it :(
 
Nothing to do with it!!! ROMs, themes, backup apps/data, over clocking, undervolting.....omg! This is just starting before too long there will be all kinds of stuff out there.
 
If you really want to install it, do it. You can rollback just fine with the method I posted. Don't listen to the fear mongers about the radio, its a bunch of bunk. Just don't install it over itself, or you may brick your phone with no hope of fixing it.
 
I'm just gonna wait for this one, in no hurry for this update... although the 720p video will be sick =>
