Strange I sbfed to 2.3.34 which I had maderstock 2.3.34 on it before it tried to update and it didn’t technically sbf lol. It went back to normal before it tried to update. Rooted on 2.3.340 with all my apps background and whatnot still there. Whatever it works. I will make sure when i upgrade to gingerbread to do a wipe and then load the OTA update. Is gingerbread worth it over 2.3.340? Edit: Wait maybe it isn’t rooted because bootstrap and superuser aren’t working ---

Found something I really dislike about the commando… Its a PIA to send out a mass text. I can select contacts from my phone book to send a text to at once, I can type different names in the TO: area and it will pull them up, but I can’t scroll and choose. I can create a group and mass text that group but its a pain in the ass to make the group. ---

just updated my evo to 2.3 and I am pretty disappointed. still running sense 1.0, sooo pretty much none of the gingerbread eye candy was included. And they didnt include the 2.3 keyboard which is supposed to be awesome. I think I am going to get rid of this and try to get my hands on a nexus S… OH and had I known this update was going to be so lame, I would have rooted my phone and removed all the bloatware… Now I have to wait for someone to figure out how to root 2.3 :tspry: ---

I updated to gingerbread, and everything went fine, but I no longer have root access. TBH i was going to unroot anyways, because I don’t use anything that i need to be rooted for. But now my problem is that I can’t delete the super user app… how do i get rid of it? ---

Just updated a coworkers EVO to 2.3.3 (Gingerbread)…No UI changes, seems like it should have been a minor Froyo update rather than a new OS version. Anyone else see something I don’t?
