GB OTA Build 2.11.605.5 - Rooted & Debloated

Here is the Gingerbread OTA that was released on October 25, 2011. It is build number 2.11.605.5 and has many improvements over the last OTA that was taken down quickly. This ROM is the official stock build but with root and is debloated (all the crap apps are removed). To flash, put the ROM on your sd card, boot to recovery, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, mounts and storage, wipe system partition, then choose zip from sd card and flash.

Forced OTA Updates on Rooted Thunderbolt

I have been hearing a lot lately that after rooting, peoples' phones are updating automatically over night. Their phone usually will then not boot up and keeps shutting off. This situation is not as bad as it use to be now with the revolutionary root method because the revolutionary bootloader will not be overwritten by an ota, keeping the s-off status. I found the article that is linked below that explains different methods on how to recovery from this situation. To avoid these updates in the future, I would suggest installing a custom rom. If you need any help with that there is a video linked below as well. Also, feel free to post in my new forum.
