Att update text message

I received a text message about an hour ago that says at&t will be providing an update for my phone. Press ok when asked.
Anybody know what this update may be? I did not see any new threads addressing this so my apology if it had been addressed.

There are a bunch of threads about this. Search for "update text" and you'll find them. It's the update AT&T pushed a long time ago. Nothing to see here - move along.

I agree, just received another. Found another thread that was started the 9th of November. So it appears we are finally being hit with some of the batch texts sent out. Although it seems strange for us to receive a batch text 15 days after the first reports of this text. Not to mention we are receiving multiple of them. Don't they know they could get through a list of customers quicker if they just sent them the text once to each captivate owner. Oh well, as suggested I am moving on.
Thanks for the info,

same here i got sent the same message 3 time in the past hour...it getting really annoying... btw running perception 5

*facepalm*

Just ignore them if there is a new version I'm sure you'll hear about it here.

Samsung just released an app in the market to restore GPS settings. GPSRestore.
Doesn't do anythiing new but return a few settings to stock. Also Samsung released a new firmware app for the Captivate camera. Camera Firmware Install. I believe either of these two is what AT&T is pinging us to death about.

First time I've ever got the update message but I just now got this:
AT&T FREE MSG: AT&T is providing a free update for your phone. When asked to install the update, please select OK. Thank You.
Im not flashing back to stock to try it though lol

Please delete this post. I found a link where it states that T-mobile had began updating their Galaxy S users with Froyo...little did I know it was for UK T-moble. My apologies. Please delete.

Kies 1.0.0.10104_1 to 1.0.0.11011_4

Hello when i was checking kies mini it updated to 1.0.0.10104_1
1.0.0.11011_4. I am curious

Not sure if it means anything or not. I had checked this morn. and it would not go past the connect your phone page. Never had problems with it before. Saw your post and ran it. It is updating now. May just be bug fixes.

Just updated Kies Mini but still says my phone has latest firmware.

Mine just updated, too. Could be a good sign as there's really no reason to update it unless a ROM update is imminent. Fingers crossed.

After the update, my phone is able to (again) connect to Kies mini with USB debugging on and with any launcher as default.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

I also noticed this update, and in the past week Kies Mini connected to the update server right away - I no longer have to try 5 times - could be Samsung is finally getting ready for the release.
With Millions of phones - a big chunk must be on US carriers - and they need the backend to support all of us mashing the update button at one time.

That's what i was thinking too.

What rumor? Kies Mini updated. Fact. The fact that some posted saying they hope it means the update comes soon is also not a rumor. Just them wishing it would come soon. I think it was good to know kies mini updated. It lets us know they are at least working on something. Kies mini is of no use but for firmware updates, fact.

Just a friendly little anecdote for you. Do with it what you will...
I worked tech support in a call center for a large mobile provider and was terminated for posting on forums after they managed to link me to some posts I had made. They did this by monitoring network traffic in the building, which lead them to my computer since I was posting them while at work. I was fired for the content of the posts, although they were all completely harmless, such as your post. They felt I was divulging proprietary information.
For a long time I kicked myself for posting on the forums with my work computer, but really I should have been kicking myself for posting at all, from any device. In the end, just ask yourself if the risk is worth the reward.
Now, the bright side of this, 6 months later I landed a great job as a network admin for a great company.
Oh and about that company I used to work for, their name started with a T and ended with a Mobile.

well thats not very smart for you to do.....

I think you're missing the bigger point here. As I said in the post, the conclusion I made in the end was that it really wasn't worth it to post at all, regardless of where I was posting. They could just as easily linked me to the posts using other methods, such as overhearing something, or someone tattling. Or maybe I became facebook friends with someone on the forums, and they reported me. There are plenty of ways.
Nevertheless, I did say to do what you will with the story. But seriously, consider the whole risk vs. reward part of it. What are you really getting out of posting small bits of 'insider' information? Probably not much. And believe me, I didn't think I was divulging anything proprietary, but it didn't matter what I thought. My posts were almost identical to yours. I wish someone had said this to me back then (even though I landed a better job in the end).
Anyhow, good luck to you. You probably won't get burned like I did, but as they say... **** happens.

Can someone explain why a rooted phone will not work with the OTA? Is having CWM also an issue? What do I need to do to prepare my phone before the update arrives?
I also do not understand why TMo would not publish the update on their site like they do with all the windows phones.

Absolutely right. I later learned that I wasn't the first to be terminated for posting, and I'm sure I won't be the last.
In my last comment I mentioned that I wish someone had given me this bit of 'advice' long ago, but come to think of it, someone pretty much did. I distinctly remember someone replying to me one day and saying that they know other employees had gotten in trouble for posting. I brushed it off just like this guy/gal.

You need to revert back to stock for the update. This is because the update is designed to build on the stock OS, not whatever you have on your phone. As far as rooting it and leaving it stock, not sure what the root does to block the ota.

I can't be positive, but perhaps its not so much rooted as flashed with another ROM. I've heard of rooted phones being updated. I've not heard of cooked ROMs being updated.
But, I know nothing for sure.

I don't know if this means anything other than what it says. But I have tried to connect to get software update and it keeps giving me the old can't connect at this time message. Could it be that the servers on their end are overwhelmed with others trying to do the update if it is indeed out?
And another question...I am not a T-Mo suscriber. I use Simple Mobile. Would the update get pushed to my G2x or would I have to manually install it? Thanks

Thanks guys. I am running rooted stock and stayed that way on purpose so I could get the update. I also stayed stock because my phone runs like a champ. Never had a reboot and everything works as intended.

You are probably better off waiting a few days to let our developers get a hold of it anyway.

When there are 'Official' releases to multiple carriers, then each carrier would get a push, based on their own agreements with LG. If the phone is a regionally sold phone, also called unbranded, a push is made to them also. Most commonly, you see the unbranded phones get the update first, since the carrier testing does not have to be done.
But, in reality..it is all a crap shoot....so you're still waiting, no matter what.

Anyone have any solid information on this though? There are just too many threads of "I just heard the GB update..." with no solid ROM information or even a picture.

So, I was wondering....where does one go to get 'solid' information? We're here in a community forum, using fake names. More than half of us can't vote, work in a burger king or in college. We all have a tendency to read and search and google/bing about the G2x.
I for 1 couldn't tell solid information from rumor. I will say this though...if the information you have, comes from Twitter, Android Police, TMONEWS, or anything with a 'Forum' in front of it....its a rumor. If your great news starts with, " I just talked to a TMobile CS...." its a rumor. If you just talked to your friend, who works in a store or is a TMobile CS agent, its a rumor.
You'll either get an OTA on your phone, and recieve the update which you can prove with a screen shot. Or you'll plug into the LG support tool and update, which you can validate again, with screenshots...
All else is rumors. Please post all rumors in the HTC Sensation forum...where they are living the dream.

WARNING....to LGP999DWP owners

I'd thought I'd share this nice information with everyone....
I currently have the LGP999DWP and like others I had to use the alternate route to get the LG Updater to do the update.
I tried following a guide here for Windows 7 and right in the middle of the update it failed and left me in a limbo state (not me but my phone) of S/W Upgrade.
I tried again with XP in VMWare only to have both the KDZ and LG Update Tool crashed during the update.
So I got tired of trying and decided to just send it off to TMobile and get a new refurb, WRONG CHOICE!!!!
Once tech support heard I did the update BAM! voided warranty. So as of now they will no longer swap my unit again because I installed software not approved by TMobile.
When I explained that LG sent me the update and why was I being punished for LG's doing, they told me "That's LG, we're TMobile so from this point on any trouble with your phone consult LG not us."
So be aware anyone (I'm guessing LGP999DW as well) updating and having trouble DO NOT let Tmobile know.
And it's things like this that is making me move to Sprint again.
I'm beginning to think I should just go back to paper cups and string.

Here is a video that may help!

This was discussed a while back that there are people having issues with the update and not to do it if you that version hardware.
Also T-Mobile nor LG sent this update out either. The great people here on xda found a way to try and get software earlier then designated as well. LG didn't say here go install this on your phone. Was taken on your own actions and is your fault.
You at this point would need to let LG try and repair the device and send it back despite the cost if any.
This is sadly the side effect that can come from using leaked unofficial software. Has been posted many times.

LG sent it via THEIR tool all I did was do a manual update via their tools & software, no rooting involved.
Granted it was my fault for doing it, but how many people used the LG tool to update only to get where I was? From what I saw online many people were/are in my boat so it's not just isolated to rooting/hacking/circumventing/or anything else of that nature. LG f'ed up and the customer gets the shaft because of it.
On a side note I did manage to fix it via another thread here, but the point of this thread was not asking for help but to let those who had reservations on doing to be aware that TMobile will void your warranty if they find out you updated in any capacity outside of their official OTA.

the lg update tool is an official tool By LG made to update. LG personell tell people to check it for updates on their phone. i have seen them point people on other phones to this tool often. The lg update tool said an update for your phone is available it didnt say this is beta it didnt say prerelease. This is an official release by LG.
Noone hacked, noone got a leak.
tmobile can play their little games all it is doing is losing them customers.
doesnt matter if phone is working great or lousy we have all learned a lesson here regarding tmobile and lg ..what you do with that information is up to you.

When I plug my phone in and open the lg update tool, where does it say what model? All mine did was search and connect to device when opening saying an update was available but wouldn't let me see the info of update

its jsut they cleared the phones and put on the os again and added that nice little P to the end to show it was refurbished
which sucks since people only returned the phone because it was defective and now they are stuck with a model marked as refurbished which like a used car decreases resale value.
and it appears all they did was take returned phones place this new os on and sent them out again.

Verizon OTA rolling out

Saw on AC that it was rolling out to T-Mo and Sprint users so I checked 2 hours ago and had nothing. I just checked again and it is available. From what I read it shouldn't break root. I'm updating now and will report back.

We probably won't see it for atleast another month the way Verizon is with their updates. Either way I will avoid it, I value root too much.

Update PDF to see changelog and what was updated/improved/ruined. However you want to look at it. Seems like very minor changes from which not many people will benefit.

I'll skip it for now, there is nothing for me in there. I don't use any of the apps other than contacts and that's working fine. I'll wait and see if anyone looses root with it.

I am inclined to agree XTC. I am also not going to be putting the OTA updater .apk back on my device. No way.

Yeaaaaaaaa. So the update is failing on my device haha. I'll take it as a sign. I don't really care for it much anyway.

Sounds about right. They either wait too long, or shoot it off before its ready. hahaha

Anyone know why my update may be failing though? update failure code 402. I have my phone rooted/debloated. I don't think that should make the update fail though.

To resolve, try plugging the Phone up to a PC and install the Verizon Updater software that is on the Phone's flash drive..(it is one of the disks that auto pops up when you connect the phone).

My work day is almost over, then 1 more work day, with no client at my facility. It's a good end to today, and a good beginning to the weekend!

Hah. I feel you. It's been a good summer thus far . My windows 8.1 box isn't letting me run the Verizon upgrade assistant. I'm going to try from a 7 PC

Anyone know why my update may be failing though? update failure code 402. I have my phone rooted/debloated. I don't think that should make the update fail though.

It's because you don't have a stock filesystem.

Not the Performance Improving Update!
I thought it was related to this update but apparently it is not.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 is now receiving a performance-improving firmware update

haha nah. I have linux on my vbox. I have other workstations at work with windows 7 on 'em. I can't get it to open. I wonder if it is because we are blocking outbound ports with ACL's and maybe the software needs access to something to launch. I'll try off of a public Wifi as that's wide open. That's the only similarity between the windows7 and 8.1 machines.
EDIT: yup, it requires port 443 to be open (which it is) but it is also passing through our content gateway proxy. I believe it was flagging it as some malicious. Luckily, I know it's not malicious and I am the systems admin so I was able to bypass
