New OTA - Thunderbolt General

Anyone know when the new ota is going to be sent out? I wanna root my TB but it would be kinda senseless because the update would just unroot it right?

OTAs get leaked before they are officially released. You'll most likely see it available here before it gets pushed to our phones.

Yes but if your rooted don't install the update. There is a thread for rooted T-bolts with the update.

More info please. What did you do?
What makes you believe that the update is for GB v2.3? Is this an OTA update from Verizon?
Sorry my question wasn't worded good. So here it goes LOL, I downloaded one of the leaks of Gb for the TB and I placed the file on my SD card and renamed it and shut the phone off held power and volume. Then I went through the steps and it started updating itself the when it finished it said error failure to update software to new. Once again thank you for responding to this I really appreciate all and any help.

Rooted or unrooted currently? I assume unrooted?

If you downloaded the RUU_Mecha_GINGERBREAD_S_VERIZON_WWE_2.10.605.1_Radio_0.01.78.0802w_3_NV_8K_1.41_9K_1.64_release_209273_signed.exe
Do not place on the SD card, is a Windows application to update your TB via Data cable.
Takes about 10-15 mins.
This is exactly as I did and worked without any problems.
On a further note...
A couple of days ago I rooted using the Revolutionary tool and flashed Clockwork recovery using ROM Manager then created a backup. Now I no longer have problems with constant ads, no verizon bloatware, and a full backup img of my rooted Gingerbread TB.
Unrooted can't don't know much about rooting with the method used. Actually I'm kinda scared, now I did root my Eris and my Incredible and LG Ally. But don't glum have to know adb.

Sorry about the can't in my last post meant to say don't.

Also don't know much about adb. Sorry about the funny post everyone knows the spell correct makes us sound like we can't talk. And thank's everyone for the post, I waited to post this on here,but couldn't find any info anywhere.

There should be an unrooted zip file that you could flash via hboot floating around here some where or might look on Rootzwiki site as well.
I would also check the md5 of the files to make sure they match the numbers posted by the OP before I attempted to flash it

You guys were awesome thanks again. Nice to know when someone gets stuck there are people willing to help. And think I'm going to attempt rooting my TB. I know if I get stuck ill be ok.

What's the most recent official ota?

Trying to throw this thing to stock before I sell it..
Is 605.5 the most recent ota or is it 605.2??
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
It's 605.5
Before you sale ask buyer if they want it rooted, seen phone sell for more if they are. They might even tell you what Rom they want on it.

The official ICS is already out?!
Also you can install OTA updates and keep root just install 'OTA RootKeeper' from the android market when you have successfully rooted your device
I didn't test it yet because I modded my stock rom too much and there wasn't an update >4.0.3 yet. But the app is from supercurio and will probably work well
you can flash a stock otA ICS 4.0.3 rom after rooting

Update to GB?

I went to the Relay4g, so I gave my son my old SK4g.
He said that it tried to update today.
Does this mean custom 2.3-actual in the works?
Anyone w/stock ROM get this?
Lol I'm on a custom rom, but this temps me to Odin and find out
Sent from my SGH-T839 using xda app-developers app
Wait, what?
It probably just had old firmware on it and it tried to update.
Highly doubt this as the phone was discontinued and abandon by the developers

Ill try and do it when I get home, anyone see anything on samsungs site?
Sent from my SGH-T839 using Tapatalk 2
ok unrooted and tried... nothing... ill let it ride overnight but ill have to reroot in the am as im very doubtful there is a gingerbread update. if there really is an update im sure it would just be bug fixes and such for a newer stock froyo... even this i kinda doubt
It may be trying to update to KJ2. I received an email from Sammy stating that GB is not even being considered.

Got my stock SK4G today (no bad IMEI, yay!) and decided to check for firmware before rooting. According to Kies Mini, the upgrade version is T839UVKJ2/T839UVKJ2 11/11/07.
Hope no one got their hopes up.
