So, I'm running JI6 and I just got this notice...
"AT&T is providing a free update for your phone. When asked to install the update, please select OK."
Shouldn't this only appear when running 2.1 builds?
did you install it to see what it was?

That would sure be interesting to know...thinking just the crappy JH7 update, but the hopefull in me is very curious...
I actually got the same thing today but I'm avoiding it like the plague.
No chance in hell the ATT can provide me something as amazing as cognition2.2
Heh...
So, I got the same message from AT&T as OP a few hours ago, and I just noticed a "Could not connect to the server" window. I'm guessing that by running Cog2.2 on my phone, the server won't push the update to it given that it isn't running an official build.
Oh well
I can test this later as i have flashed back to stock 2.1, after testing JI6, and experiencing issues with key apps i use on a day to day basis. but i am curious to see about this update. I mean the most harm it could do is a software related "brick" right?

Furthermore, it states on my JH7 build that no user data would be lost - is this an over the air Froyo? I'm running 2.1 and already did the first update for JH7, so what is this?

Yep, and the bad news is....... I can't say what the hell the update was for considering it sat "preparing" it for a while, then failed to update, not unlike the issues others were having when putting on JH7 (mine updated right away, but my girlfriend's did not) - just tried to roll it a day forward to trick it, and it showed no update available! Will keep working on it, but there can't be just TWO of us who have seen this message when waking up this AM....
It will be the same JH7 OTA. AT&T just started sending out SMS to random Captivate owners. Nothing new. There is no way, nor AT&T cares, for AT&T to know you have updated to other firmware or not via SMS. They probably picking you out of the ppl who haven't tried to do OTA update.
Every Captivate user will receive this text message once, regardless of what version they are on. AT&T can't see what version of Android OS you are running. What they are doing is sending a text message to all users that are showing a Captivate on file in chunks. I haven't received that message yet, but even though I'm running Froyo via Cog 2.2, I'm still gonna get this message at some point.
Just ignore it unless you really want to play with their over the air update (which apparently bricks phones if you've ever altered it from stock in any way, even if you Odin back to JF6....)
Personal opinion? Ignore it. CL, continue the great work you are doing on the Jupiter.xml edits / development. I read into your posts at least every other day.
Thanks folks,

That's right.. this is the forced JH7 official OTA update that it detects you haven't received it.

It doesn't brick the phone, it just will fail during install, that's all. So your phone will remain in the same state since nothing will have been installed.

For most, your phone will stay in quasi state: neither JF6, not JH7. And probably will never be able to upgrade again via either OTA or Kies. You have to Odin it.
For some, it actually bricks their phone, i.e. can't boot pass the logo screen.

I have heard of very few people who have bricked there phone doing the OTA Update. For almost everyone the update fails and the phone boots into you previous ROM and gives you a message that no changes have been made to your phone.
Brick is a strong word to use. Brick indicates the phone has no hope of being used again. You can almost always ODIN your phone if all else fails.

Actually, from what I read here, most failed update will show your phone is already at JH7 but none of the JH7 features are there. So, no, it does not boots into previous ROM.
So I called Samsung about the OTA firmware failing on my Captivate. I had to use ODIN at one point, so that's why it failed supposingly. Samsung said that there was an issue with v1 of the firmware update and there is now a v2, however Samsung couldn't tell me baseband version and they told me to call AT&T.
I called AT&T and asked them about this v2. They said that firmware I897UCJH7 has been released to fixed various bugs, some other items, and she specifically said GPS. So, I'm not sure what Samsung was meaning by v2, unless they meant this JH7 was v2 and what came on the phone out of the box was v1.
While I had AT&T on the phone I thought I'd ask about Android 2.2 and when it was going to be released. The AT&T rep said, "Hang on while I Google that for you." I was like WTH, really? This is where AT&T gets their information I guess... HA
Alot of times they google my questions. They do it for most questions that don't involve can't receive text and whatnot. Feature phone, they can help, smart phone, no way in hell.

I'm running stock 2.1 with root and I have the message. I will back up and reflash later tonight to see if I can download it and put it up for y'all. But currently, it fails the same way op described.

The OTA update of JH7 is a special diff version with scripts in order to minize the download size (12 MB vs 120+MB). Obviously, the original script doesn't work very well. So, Samsung probably changed it so that it won't fail so easily. That's what Samsung means by v1 and v2. The final result, JH7, will be the same and you can easily do it via Kies Mini instead of playing Russian Roulette with OTA update.
Ok I cant believe this phone doesnt do something so simple. My big question is if I am on the 2.2 update that ATT shoved out will Vlingo work for voice dialing. I have a Jawbone Icon and it wont work. Do I need to root this thing to get the ATT blocks off of it?
When did AT&T shove out 2.2? No one will know till it does come out however the video on vlingo site shows the dude using it.

The guy at the ATT store downloaded it for me and said it was the 2.2 update OTA to fix the gps issues people were reporting not Froyo. Sorry should have made that clearer. According to the the phone it says 2.2 not 2.1 also so WTF am I running

2.2 is Froyo. If you're running 2.2 (JI6), then you're running the leaked rom, which is (in my experience) extremely buggy. We don't know yet what the official 2.2 release will be like, or what it will support. If you're having bad luck with some feature that is supported but buggy, I would flash back to JH7.
*note I am posting in my BIL's account because I am on his computer*
I am currently running the original leaked FROYO rom that was posted here. Today I got a message from at&t saying they were providing a free update to my phone....
Got any ideas what this might be?.... I had already installed jh7 before...
Yeah, this happens... They sent that out with the last update for 2.1, and if you bought your phone sometime afterwards, you'll eventually get a (few) texts about it...
When Froyo is released, I'm sure you'll hear all about it, so don't worry about that text.
I've just learned to ignore that text message, I figure if Froyo comes out for the Captivate I'll probably read about it somewhere else first.
I got the same message from ATT
Froyo 2.2 Rooted I897UCJ16
In my case there was a time where I saw a sync Icon next to the Wifi Icon on top right which was bit unusual I thought. However when I pulled the tab to see what it was, nothing showed up but icon remained.
The text came from 1111487602 and it came to my SIM Card Phone # directly which a puretalk prepaid sim

I just received a text from AT&T telling me to upgrade my phone to Froyo, Whats crazy that almost everyone that has been on this forum has been on a custom Froyo Rom or GB for the last 6 months. , I think that they need to get to know there customers better
I got it to and I am running stock Froyo.
they always sent that out before and after an update. Not sure exactly what it looks at but if you don't have stock rom on the phone it sends that

i never got a text like that.
I wrote them back and told them they needed to upgrade to Honeycomb.
No longer sent from my BlackBerry.
FYI, I just tried software update from phone. Got an "unable to connect to update server"error. Last time that happened right before an update.
Or am I wishful thinking....

Too bad I'm not running my phone on AT&T, I feel left out haha.
I feel deprived, I never got a text either.... Thank God for custom ROMs!!!!
Starting today I have received two random text messages from the number 9355. I attached a picture of what the texts say, they seem to say wap which might mean some sort of data transmission or something. I can't reply anything or I get a text from Sprint saying not enough numbers for recepient.
I'm at a loss.

I've been receiving messages like that every time I flash an ICS rom. I never had them when I was using CM7. Strange thing is that the messages come from Sprint and I'm on Boost. It could be because my phone is flashed but still on the Sprint network. I don't know for sure though.
same here on EVO 4g reloaded using go sms... so far added it to blacklist in go sms.
hmmmmmmmm
I've been flashing several different ice rooms for about 2-3 months and had never previously received this. I received it today though and it strike me as an attempted t to Jack or introduce a virus to my phone. I could just be being paranoid though, lol.
Hey did you ever get to the bottom of those weird texts? I posted a screen shot of my errors from the same number that I've been receiving. Also using unrooted ICS 4.01.

That looks like an OMA DM Push Message. It's a provisioning process for Smart Phones, very similar to that you get on feature phones when you get an SMS from the carrier after putting a new SIM into a phone. The only reason you would see this message is that the OMA DM client did not intercept it. From what it sounds like, you have recently installed a non-standard O/S for the device, which probably does not have a DM client. Unfortunately if your previous phone had a DM client, then it's probably still registered in the system. You might want to call you carrier and see if they can disable the feature.
Cheers,
Scott

Well I've had 3 devices since June. Same model, and same os being installed. I haven't gotten this message on this phone in months. But I never got a text like that on my original device in its 2 years. Do you think I should still call Sprint?

Sorry for the delay in replying - for some reason the e-mail alerts from here got put into spam...
Anyway - if you have not already done so, yes I would recommend calling Sprint. It sounds like someone - probably Sprint but you never quite know - has your phone registered on their system as OMA DM compliant. It does no real harm other than getting a few dodgy looking SMS, but I always like to make sure I am not registered on systems unnecessarily.
Good luck,
Scott

It just means there is some form of client on the phone that can configure it using the OMA DM protocols. Most phones have something on them for provisioning, even old feature phones, but usually it's something simple that looks for a provisioning SMS from the carrier. This is the reason you usually get told to wait for an SMS to arrive and reboot your phone, when you get a new phone. The OMA DM stuff is just slightly more sophisticated to accommodate the demands of modern smart phones and also allows extra features, such as installation of applications. But it's essentially the same thing. The carrier sends you an SMS, the provisioning software picks it up and configures your phone with it. With OMA DM, there is usually not enough information in the message to configure the device and the message itself actually contains a URL to go to. If you look at the message you will see the following element:
NzUpLTVXOz4rUDk0MT8xNTErOzhXMT80/omadl/DownloadDescriptor/content/4805911
The first unintelligible bit is the hostname encrypted and then encoded with Base64. The rest of it is the path in the URL.
Have a look on wiki for OMA_Device_Management - not many Android ROM's have this feature by default - iOS has apple's own variant, which is mostly compliant, Nokia phones are by far the most compliant.
Hope that makes sense,
Scott
Odd texts
I have never flashed my phone but getting these same texts.
Sprint HTC Evo 4g LTE
I received one of these texts as well. I called Sprint after reading this post to see if they knew what was up. I was told that the text is a link and can access your data (not sure what data) and is also a "virus". Fortunately the link was broken by an emoticon being converted from a series of slashes and colons so it wasn't clickable.
I usually don't wear a tin foil hat, but I suggest adding this number to your blacklist. He advised that as long as I didn't click the link I should be fine and delete the SMS.
Message still persists
Received this SMS message from: 9355 on the Sprint network
//WAP-3052:141450391:76f0a123:3f7ae:::NTUoLDtTOEApVz44MD0qMzEqOj5TLkEy/omadl/DownloadDescriptor/content/445205499
Rooted Galaxy S5 with stock Sprint ROM, using non standard texting app as default texting app.
It is possible using a non-standard texting app stops this from downloading & executing its payload.
I got one of these tonight and was soon greeted by an update of Sprint's "Connection Optimizer" I think sdeakin's theory of your carrier pushing an update of something is sound.
I just received one of these tonight. I'm sure it might just be the carrier pushing out an update, but I am actually interested in figuring out how to decrypt the link so I can figure out more about it.

Received from 9355 on Mar 23 @ 10:53 PM - I have the same exact setup as Foley76 (Galaxy S5 rooted, using a different SMS app than stock)
I dont think its anything to worry about, I am using Ting (Sprint network, pay as you go) - Prolly just my carrier trying to push an update.
I dont like accepting any updates that im not aware of however. First thing I did after I rooted was use Titanium Backup to freeze all the OTA crap. I'm still on the stock shipped rom.
Anyone else receive any messages recently and is on Sprint/Boost/Ting? - zmag
