Re: New ota 3.70.651 12-15-10

I got notice to the upgrade today but am not leaping. I am rooted on Azrael and am not giving that up lightly. But on the same note, I have been getting suspicious of these updates. It appears Sprint really does not want us rooting our phones and is getting aggressive. The issue is probably tethering and bandwidth usage. They want PAID for that feature. It is not just geeks that are rooting. People come in here, make three posts.
1. How to I get rooted?
2. How do I set up tether?
3. How do I install a custom ROM
Then they are never heard from again until a new Upgrade.

I would not be surprised if Sprint has already installed a beacon on our phones to flag who is rooted. Looking out recovery is pretty brutal. I think things are going to get uglier before they get prettier.
