If you are rooted and have deleted apps, do not think you will get it.
There is a zip file of the update in the development section of the forum

Login to my.t-mobile.com and make sure your phone is set to a MyTouch 4G. I did that, and when I checked my phone I saw that the upgrade was installing.

Is this the 2.2.1 OTA update?

worked perfectly. thanks bro

I was not getting mine either. I called T-Mobile today and they said my IMEI number was still showing for my G2. I gave them my IMEI number and within 2 hours I had the update. She also said even though they don't have the capability to push the OTA update, she said the tech support people have more options and might be able to push it.

I called T-Mo today as my wife and I both bought a MT4G. No OTA 5 hours later. Android Support said you need to make at least 1 phone call to register the phone on the network then it will be scheduled to receive the update within 48 hours. Waiting

I am the opposite as you guys. I have the update waiting, but I refuse to download and install it because I read in another thread that it will give Tmo control of the WiFi hotspot and tether and can charge you after the 14th I believe. And I like my free WiFi hotspot. I don't remember which thread it was though. So I will look into it further.

I want the ota so I can get a full root going...always the wifi tether project if they really do lock something down

My phone was not showing up on my T-Mobile account, thanks for that tip! Hopefully I will get my update soon, just got my phone few hours ago.

Those of you who are waiting on your OTAs, remember to run aLogcat before you download/install to help out those who haven't gotten it yet! I'm running mine now.

that was my post... and unfortunatly t-mo will still be able to charge for hotspot use regardless after the 14th... i dont know if i misspoke (mistyped) or we had some sort of miscommunication...
install your update, root, then wifi tether for free to your hearts content

Has anyone received their update since root has been achieved? Would they pull the update because of this?

You are absolutely correct, not everyone will get it until the 15th of November. It's being pushed in waves like usual...

I got the same message today at 5:05pm. Kies Mini shows the update available, but i am running Cognition 2.4.1.
Should i go back to 2.1 and try it? Or should i just assume that it's the normal update?

My Kies says that my phone is up to date. I would not rush and wait until there is real evidence.

Yup...seems like every other day this comes up.
All I can say is if your running the JH7 2.1 build..try it and see. If your running any custom rom..then it is most likely want you to update back to JH7 2.1 build.

This is not the Froyo update. Please stop making threads about it!

I got them also, assumed not 2.2 so I ignored them ;-)

Thunderbolt Update Available

I am rooted, so I am wondering if it is OK to apply this update or if it is going to break something on my phone?

You wouldn't...most custom ROM's don't want Verizon OTA updates. This is basically a re-release of the updated radios (402w_1 and 605.7) so if you've already updated your radios that's basically what you'd be getting from VZW. The question is did they actually do anything to the radios or did they just hold them while they got their LTE/eHRPD issues sorted out (I tend to lean on the latter.)

If you wanna keep root, I wouldn't recommend updating. Let the devs release it.

I would just hold off and wait until the devs get ahold of it. It might not be any different from the leaked update we have already.

This. Wait for the devs to take a look. More than likely its the same stuff you already have.

Waiting to see what the devs say. Looks to be the same as the leak.

The leak (if we're talking about jcase's leak) included the ROM where the OTA update doesn't (at least it doesn't appear to at 35 MB.) It does appear to be larger than just the leaked radios themselves (25.37 MB) but they updated a few other things so that probably accounts for the additional 10 MB.
We really aren't going to know anything until the devs tackle the update.zip.

I was recommended by jcase that you either can't or should not apply this update if rooted. Don't quote me though. I can't remember exactly what he said.

Thats completely true.

Do you need root to access the cache folder? Where is it exactly. Can't find it while connected to my computer by USB, or by ES File Explorer.

Could this also incorporate removal of free wifi hotspots? Isn't that ending soon? When I bought my Thunderbolt the rep told me it'd be removed via a software update in May.

Pretty sure that's only for new customers. Existing customers were grandfathered into the free wifi. I might be wrong though. I remember the rep told me something about it too when I got my TB in the mid of April.

Your rep was wrong. Once they figure out how much to charge, the free hotspot will be no more.

Saw on android police a couple of phones that were rooted attempted the update and it didn't go so well. One phone said update failed, another screwed their phone up. I'll wait.

When your rooted, your not supposed to update with OTA's. Wait for the devs to upload it...

OTA's are for squares.

Iif you're running a custom ROM, you'll most likely NOT get an update. The developer will incorporate the changes into the next ROM update.

lol i cant wait im downloading it now and will add root / busybox to it my self
this shouldn't remove the free hotspot verizon will not have to push a update to remove it they can turn it off on the back end just how the turn it on and off if you call them and add the tethering plan

AT&T update

Hey guys,
my InFuse just told me it has an update available. I postponed it right now.
Mine is rooted and unlocked.
Is is possible to safely do the update?
Thanks for your input.

There is a whole 4 pages dedicated to this in the general forum... Look there...

Just found it ... I am truely sorry! My fault!

it will most likely not work. it has to be stock

Does anyone know where the update is stored on the phone, I wanted to pull it and look over it and maybe attach it to a ROM. Also does anyone know what it does?

Update does not work for custom roms, i did it on infused 1.1.4, no dice

It checked for att's bloatware....if you've deleted it or frozen it, the update will fail...
Sent from my Samsung Infuse 4G

Yeah im having problems with mine, but now its saying im up to date but the version posted in the other thread doesnt match. Going to reset and update tomorrow then redo it all

It worked fine for my stock rooted phone with bloatware and tethering manager completely deleted. Now running FROYO.UCKE3.

Same here... it updated successfully on my stock rooted Infuse with the bloatware all deleted. I am still looking forward to ROM development with the new baseband(radio) though.

Checking for updates?

Searched the forums (albeit not extensively,) on how to check for firmware updates... couldn't find anything.
Is there not a # you can dial to push the check or something?

Wali, have you returned your phone to the stock rom? If you're running anything else, I don't think that you can get the update... Not 100% sure, but that's probably why Kies thinks that you're on at&t....
EDIT!! There's also a Kies update today, So apply that to your pc first!

Was the Rep that you spoke to aware that you've got a Rogers phone?
For about 3 days last fall, I had a Samsung Focus, & it had the option to check for updates on the phone... When ever you wanted...
But who knows... Not rogers, that's for sure.

lol they have to at least run it through a lot of tests, remember if anything goes wrong there will be a riot of people running to the store saying that the update bricked their phone

Just got off the phone with rogers.. The tech guy that I spoke to said that they know that Samsung has released it, BUT they don't have any information for TODAY... He said that when there is an update going out, they get an email that morning.. He's thinking maybe later this week? Kies was updated today... So, now might be a good time to get your titanium & CWM backups ready..

Hum, so if I'm reading it right, I have to revert to the stock ROM/Radio (running TPCv3 and UXKJ7 Baseband) before I will see the update?
I know TPCv3 is a rogers stock based rom.... will that make a difference?

(Actually, it doesn't matter much, I wasn't going to apply it anyway. Will wait for someone to cook up a better-than-stock ROM anyway before I flash anything.)
