New phone update available!!!

Just thought I would run the LG software update wizard on my PC, with the phone plugged in. My G2X is INSTALLING IT RIGHT NOW!!!
OH PLZ PLZ PLZ let this rock... Has anyone else seen, done this yet?
I just took a screenshot and added it! I'm backing up my phone now... Will post, but it's lookin like Gingerbread is OFFICIALLY HERE.
WOOT!!!!
DAMMIT... it changed it mind, and says my phone is up to date... Sorry guys. What a damned beating.

Let is know if you do actually get the update.
But, I'm a little wary that there is actually one. I've had this same update screen come up on me twice within the last couple of weeks, and it ultimately came back and told me that I had the latest version. I just checked again and it says that my phone has the latest version.

The Cell phone is the latest version already. So you don't need to update.

Please update the moment you're finished.

Mine says I have latest version, don't need update. Are you pulling our legs?

I'm SO sick of this crap... Yeah.. as you can see from the screenshot, it said it was an OS update. I just backed everything up, I hit continue, and BAMMM. Your phone is up to date.

test run? Like I said...I actually did this this morning....this was not available....

I'm prolly grasping @ straws now... But I have rooted my phone. Is anyone out there 100% stock? If so, try this update.

I'm 100% stock, never rooted. And, like I mentioned, I have gotten that screen before (twice), but then it comes back and says that there's no update. I didn't get it today, though.

DAMMIT! Wasn't LG supposed to give us some details on this "In a few days" well over a week ago?!

Can't a skilled dev post a flashable baseband of the leak ?

Coming from the vibrant there where baseband zips shortly after a new one was out. Is there a way we can do this? Im hearing the only way to get it right now is by updating via the updater. So can anyone zip it up? I know it may take time just wonder if its being worked on...

Its been mentioned several times that there should be one in a day or so after testing is complete. TheDude has it covered.
I am going to download the newest leak in Rom form (already rooted) and then flash the basebands later. Too many people have made errors or had issues with using the LG tool.

No idea who "TheDude" is, but he appears to be some sort of legend. He was all over the forums last night getting much respect. He wanted to thoroughly test everything, and I mean everything before he released it into the wild.

Haha! I too posted this! Again coming from Vibrant, the new modem would be up in minutes after leak.
Guess we were spoiled then and now we must be patient.
Apparently there are two versions of our phone. I think DW and DWP (you can check your serial # to see which one you got) so I guess the new baseband might not work for the DWP for some reason.
So the devs don't want to cause mayhem and have a bunch of problems with people flashing it that aren't suppose to.
Which is why they are testing it before release!

I have the dw one... Hopefully thats good.. Yea vibrant stuff was posted so fast you could take a **** come back and flash...
Also wonder if the different versions would be why some get reboots and others don't?
Anyways I'm happy to wait for the safety of no bricking.

I'm pretty sure TheDude is the guy in the Big Lebowski

TheDude was a much lauded Developer when the G1 first came out. I moved on from the G1 sometime last year and haven't kept up with him since but he, JesusFreke, and Cyanogen were top dogs when all this stuff was still in its infancy.

[Q] Is anyone working on a permanent root for the 2.3.3?

I was trying to root my gf's phone then found out it don't work on 2.3.3! Is anyone working on a perm root for 2.3.3? The temp root don't help me out because she is wanting to flash different roms on the phone.
Is there anyway to get the phone back to 2.2 so I can perm root it?

Thanks but I have googled it and everything it pulled up was already looked at by me so it's not that I haven't searched. Just haven't heard of anyone making any leaps towards perm root. The fre3vo temp root don't help me much.

I found this guide.... http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Evo_Shift_4G:_Full_Update_Guide I'm guessing it isn't for the 2.3.3 OTA updated Evo Shift 4G or is it?

Umm, last I knew the revolutionary guys were working down the phones just like the twrp guys... I could be wrong but i say very soon we should have something

i posted it in one of these many threads here last night that i asked agrabren about it and he said he cant do anything cause he doesnt have one to work with and hes one of the main ones that did fre3vo but hopefully one of thems looking into it for us

My g/f got me a Motorola Photon and I rooted getting it ready for when more development comes as way of roms. She had 2.2 on hers and I asked when she updated it and she said she didn't. She got her phone last December so she had to update it to 2.3.3 right?
Anyways I heard sprint can rollback to 2.2 but they usually won't because they don't want people going back so they can root their phones.
I have a friend at Radioshack, do authorized retailers have the ability to rollback to 2.2?

i tried to see if the sprint store here could roll mine back cause the tech person has a shift also and even she said they cant roll em back cause shes pissed she took the ota and got stuck on 2.3.3 too.

I Highly doubt ANYONE will get a perm root for 2.3.3 for sometime.... its already been out what a couple of weeks now. so im updating my phone because this gingerbread update is bugged like crazy... constant crashes after leaving every app. not receiving any calls or txts half the time, and WIFI is broken.

i know. but im going INSANE!!!! after ever damn app i close the white screen with the green HTC comes up for like 1 min. then the loading of the home screen. i see the damn thing at least 200 times a day. im already looking towards a new phone all together... dealing with that for a few weeks gets irritating extremely fast.

It is really annoying. I am just going to wait for root, put CM7 on it, and give it to my Mom or something...

I hate to see the root issue keep getting sugar coated by people that already have root, including me. Just to be brutally honest, its been 2 and a half months since the Shift was updated and I really haven't seen much evidence of any one working on root. I do remember one tweet from about month ago mentioning the Shift but beyond that its been pretty quiet. I'm not saying its never going to happen, and for all I know someone is working diligently behind the scenes, all I'm saying is don't get too high of hopes that its going to happen soon..... Hopefully I'm wrong though.

If people were paying for this I would see more of a reason for people to ask all the time. I know I am new to these forums but even I get annoyed with it. I want my Shift rooted just as much as the next guy. It's free, get over it.

Im sure people would pay for it. People have offered to donate phones and such plus once a device is rooted developers can create root only apps.
Most of the devs do it for the challenge tho... Not everything is about money. That said im sure anyone that came out with a perm root would get donations for doing so.

im giving it one more week from today. if not im sticking to the GB updates till they decide to catch up.

well hopefully all of you have learned from your mistakes and won't take a OTA update ever again if your phone is rooted

My photon is rooted. My girlfriend mistakenly hit ota update on her shift before I told her what rooting and custom rims do.

[Q] Anyone try the new LG/Tmo update?

http://phandroid.com/2011/12/06/t-mobile-g2x-gingerbread-update-ota-resumes/ points to a new OTA from Tmo/LG. I think its the July update, but I'd like to confirm that there isn't anything more to it. Anyone know?

So that means NO ICS!!!! Time to shop for another phone possibly?? How could a phone so great be in so much hot water?

Huh? LG already stated they would make an ICS update for us. Plus CM9 has already been made for this phone. So we're getting ICS either way.

tmonews reported this update as a re-roll out for anyone who missed the OTA update from July. Has nothing to do with any future ICS eligibility and there's probably nothing new.

So this update is nothing different than the one that was released in July?

This is a little bizarre.

Yes it's the same. I remember calling t-mobile in the first week of August because I never got the ota, and I checked everyday since its release. They told me back then that I could be put on a list and wait to receive the ota once they decided to roll it out again, or use the lg updating software on the lg site. I went with the latter.
I can't believe it took them this long for the re-roll out! They are moving these ota's at a snails pace. In conclusion if you don't have a nexus then you know the word OTA is just a damn over-hyped buzz word.

I never got an OTA. Just some speal about the LG updater.
OTA = bricking your G2x using the LG Updater tool and getting repaired = Bada Boom!
G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV

Wow totally revived this thing. I'm happy with it. Just waiting to see how battery life goes

About freaking time. I just hope it resolves the annoying LTE disconnects.

Radio thread in Dev section, see if they help.

Awesome!

The wife and I both tried downloading the update on 4g network (at separate locations) and both updates failed! Now both phones stuck in an endless loop of trying and falling. Tried battery and SIM pull, no dice. Verizon says to do a hard reset. Why not, I love spending hours rebuilding my phone. Good start, eh?

LOL just wait for the rooted version and flash it

Wow, the ota did all that?
Well, ICS is only 5 months late, but it's still better than never. I've got until may on the bolt; maybe longer if I holdout for the next galaxy or galaxy note offering. ICS, I hope, will make that wait more tolerable.
Not to appear ungrateful, but I wonder if we'll ever get Google now or any other JB goodies? I know we'll never see JB for this thing.

There are unofficially ways to get an older version of Google now but honestly it's time to get a new phone for all of us only reason I haven't is because I don't have the $250 to get a Gnex.

You can do better than that. I jumped ship on this dog in Nov and found not one, but two mint GNex on eBay for around $180 each. Now I enjoy all kinds of great continuing & new JB development. ICS, are you kidding me?! Dump that thing & get something better.

one happy ex-bolt owner

oh my friggin god.... the update is finally out. I waited so long I ended up doing all the cool stuff to put Liquid ICS on my phone just last monday (not yesterday). Barely 1 week later verizon comes out with the update.
I'm not too savvy on this stuff much these days but what does this mean for getting Jelly Bean? Will people be able to port it from another phone or something now that the official ICS is out or is it two totally different things?

Yay. Yawn.
I will only be interested if the battery life is no worse than GB.
If that miracle comes to pass, then I will only flash a rooted and de-krufted version.
Oh, yeah, almost forgot: Verizon sucks. Can't wait until my contract is over. Nexus 5 for me.

Hi,
I'm currently not using my T-Bolt and WIFI isn't working either, so I'm stuck doing a direct update via the SD card. Can someone please provide a link to the file? That would be so appreciated.
Thanks

Well, the wife was able to resolve hers by doing a battery/SIM pull. I wasn't so lucky and had to do a hard reset, but that went off fine. I just hate how freakin' time consuming it is to put everything back the way it was. But, a couple hours later it's done. And I have to say it's a nice upgrade from GB. I almost feel like I got a new phone without losing my unlimited data! ;-} Honestly, I didn't hate the phone before, so this is really a nice upgrade to me. Time will tell on the battery life, but I could almost always get through a day before. If it's no worse, I'm happy. ICS does have some nice features and it seems to be alot snappier than GB was. And FINALLY, the screens rotate all the way around! Woo-hoo! Took the ba$tard$ long enough.

I just took the ota on my wife's tbolt after unrooting and I'm quite impressed on the improvements it made. But I for one am sticking with the sgs3 until the sgs4 drops. But good luck to all tbolt users you waited patiently and the very best to you.

Better late than never I suppose. Hopefully this gives the thunderbolt some new life for those with a while left on their contact. Verizon REALLY needs to get better with pushing out updates. Its bad. They're by far the worst.
