for everyone asking if you will get the OTA update if you have a JF dist on your phone, NO! JF intentionally disabled OTA updates to keep tmo from being able to un-root your phone. if you want the tmo dist when it gets pushed, you will have to down grade to older official dist, get OTA update to official rc33 and wait. you will lose root if you go that rout, but you can always get it back (but not with official release).

Not sure is anyone has told you or if you have searched, but not until late May early June for the cupcake update:

http://forums.t-mobile.com/tmbl/board/message?board.id=Android_MR&thread.id=1

As for updating a modded or jailbroken phone, you will have to downgrade to an official OTA to receive the updates. Now this can not be officially confirmed until the update is actually released. But all indications point to the rooted phones not being able to update, so to get the update you will have to downgrade to a earlier version and the reinstall official updates or let the phone update itself (this has been confirmed as I have done this myself).

If you want to downgrade, there is an excellent video on youtube explaining the process in detail on how to downgrade to jailbreak. Use the same video and you can downgrade your phone to an earlier point, then if you search out the net for “OTA” updates, you can bring your phone back to an official 1.1 version and be ready to receive the update.

I have taken my phone, jailbroken it, updated to cupcake, taken it back down again, let it update itself to a current 1.1 (rc33), Jailbroken it again, and currently have just brought it back to an official t-mobile updated phone. I highly do not recommend all this, as it cannot be good for the phone, but the thought here is that it can be done.

Hope this is helpful to ya all….

I got mine today but it wont update because i am rooted with JF’s RC9 .1.1 update.
Does anyone know a way around this?
I cant do a wipe as i dont have a data plan, just wifi.
I heard it’s possible to revert back to RC7 and install Anycut and then check for updates via that but that would still wipe my phone i think?
So, yeah, if anyone can help me out my email is dazbrough@gmail.com
Thanks a lot people :)
