yes i have tested installing the leak and using RSD Lite , 11 times now and I can assure everyone that this is safe i would never let anyone release anything that could jeopardize getting peeps off the upgrade path. I was going to add that last night but was up till the sun came up, and fell asleep at the PC lol. So all is well it was just a little bit of miscommunication. Thats all.

Normally I don't rush into applying Cheesecake updates, especially now after the fiasco with the Bionics. But, based on the fact that webtop & the LTE radio are upgraded, & we're updated to 2.3.6, it seems to me like it would be worthwhile to install this update? What new bloat is added with this update?

Does anyone know if it is possible to go directly from .748 to .173 if everything is stock & all bloat is in tact? I have a backup of complete stock .748, and would rather start there than a fastboot all the way back to .744, if it's possible. Thanks so much, any info is much appreciated!

According to the link in the OP, it is possible to go back to .744 from the leak.

I'm waiting to hear about performance changes (good or bad), battery life changes, etc.

So far I've noticed data is more stable, 3G to 4G transition, is smoother. Faster response time. And battery seems to be as good if not better then before.

Good to hear..The first ota ( official ) actually did bits of harm to all it was supposed to address ..In fact I was doing well enough prior. ..However this phone has remained stock longer than any other phone I've ever had. That says alot. Lol But I will finally be rooting and flashing by tomorrow as I'm already bored with the stock. Plus the performance has settled in to a slight lag. Yup its back to my flashahloic ways. WOOT fast boot is my new SBF buddy:)

I wanted to try using Zergrush Exploit after applying this update. It doesn't work, you must use OTA root-keeper or you will NOT have root after the upgrade.

Easy rooting toolkit (v2.0)
created by DooMLoRD
using exploit zergRush (Revolutionary Team)
Credits go to all those involved in making this possible!

[*] This script will:
(1) root ur device using latest zergRush exploit (10 Nov)
(2) install Busybox (1.18.4)
(3) install SU files (binary: 3.0.3 and apk: 3.0.6)
[*] Before u begin:
(1) make sure u have installed adb drivers for ur device
(2) enable "USB DEBUGGING"
from (Menu\Settings\Applications\Development)
(3) enable "UNKNOWN SOURCES"
from (Menu\Settings\Applications)
(4) [OPTIONAL] increase screen timeout to 10 minutes
(5) connect USB cable to PHONE and then connect to PC
(6) skip "PC Companion Software" prompt on device

Flashed this update as soon as it posted here last night (early this morning). Loving the new chnages but I don't really pay attention to battery stats and things like that so for me it is just about the actual UI and general performance. The biggest adavntage for me with this update is that motocast has been updated and the pics on your phone can upload directly to your PC. Set it to auto uplaod on wifi and after you take a pic, motocast will sync your new pics to your desktop as soon as you get on wifi.

I concur with these findings, I installed the update while still rooted and it went thru with no issues other than it wasn't rooted after and the zerg root would not work.

Before I flashed back to stock using RSD I noticed some positive benefits, I'm in a strong 4G lte area and up/dwn load speeds increased not by much but enough to notice, interesting new emergency warning had a setting for presidential warnings and being exempt. Some of the bloat previously installed is no longer like Kindle and a couple other things, didn't write them down. I'm back on the 748 and am going to get OTA root keeper so I can hopefully get root back and then reapply the new update, oh and I have Go Weather and before when I had it on the window with the video background and clicked back to desktop it sorta flickered back but with the update it did not blink transition it just snapped back instantly as if all lag were gone, I also tested a couple games and they were smooth, netflix worked great, all in all I saw improvement even tho it was just a short time. All apps and settings remained intact thru out the entire process from update to flash back to stock and then to the OTA which went right thru. No information or settings were changed at all, I'm stoked!!!! :lol:

Ok well seems I was wrong about the Kindle thing as it's still there, the only way you can keep root is to get that OTA Rootkeeper from the market. Anyway I'm running the .173 and rooted. B)

The camera settings are now colorized and the panorama mode produces a much better pic.
