OK, total noob question
Since this is my first smartphone and I'm new to rooting/flashing ROMS/themes, I have a question about this: do I accept this OTA and then flash my current configuration afterward? Or should I ignore it, and if I do will VZW keep nagging me about it?
I'm running Humble 5.0 RC2, imoseyon 4 kernel, HumbleComb theme, and have backups from both the latest CWM and Titanium.
TIA for any advice.

You have to go back to stock using odin, use the the pit file and download the stock rom.
Once your back to stock you can update the phone OTA.
I went back to ED1 and got the update to EE4, but no EP4 yet

Personally I have a similar setup to yours and will not worry about the OTA. Custom roms built on it will be available soon enough, and what you have now will have mostly all the same fixes. And if you want radios I'm sure an odin flashable one will be along soon.
Is it EP4D or EP4P? If it's EP4P, why did Samsung release old code on their open source page?

Yeah Im gonna wait too. No reason to go through the hassle of back to stock to maybe receive and update when soon enough someone will have create something else.
Cool, thanks

Good enough, and thanks for the quick reply. I'll ignore it and wait for you awesome devs to post a new ROM. BTW, I'm using the EP4P radios, too.

You think they stop working on trying to improve things and fix bugs just because a build was submitted for OTA testing? If that were the case, we'd never get the OTA.

I always thought if you were not running a stock rom, you would not get updates pushed.
I'm running Dilligaf. I'm pretty sure since I'm rooted and running a stock rom that the update will fail.
Not sure what to do. Any recommendations, besides just living with the notification?
It's a sense Rom so it will tell you . Do you want the update or no?

Thanks. I don't know if I want it or not, because I don't know what is in it.
If it's for sideloading only, I don't need it, because Dilligaf already allows that.

I gathered that. I just want the notication gone... Last time an update was pushed, i was running a stock rooted rom. ATTN released a new rom with the ota update integrated into it. Loading that rom eliminated the update message.
Looks like I'll have to wait for Dilligaf to put the update into his rom...
I have a T-Mobile Update Service notification in my notifications bar. Did we just get Gingerbread? Or is this an update to my ROM (GingerClone)?
Anyone got info on it? Is it safe to update OTA while on a custom ROM?

Sent from Sidekick
I don't think it would be safe to update while on a custom rom. Since it's an update it would need the original rom to update from. But I'm very curious as to what it is. If it's got fixes and optimization then maybe we could build new or better pre-existing custom roms using the new tweaks.
We need someone to be a guinea pig, lol. I don't have enough experience to odin and recover from anything severe, should anything happen.
I'm odining back to stock to try to update now, and yes, you can't update with a custom rom. you must be completely stock to update. so i'll test it and post instructions.
EDIT: http://support.t-mobile.com/message/6140#6140
According to this, this update is just a bugfix, not gingerbread.
An Over the Air software update for the Sidekick 4G will be pushed to customers beginning the night of July 21.. This software update will be delivered in staggered waves, with several thousand customers receiving it each night over the next several days.
The OTA updates the software version to version T839UVKG2. This is not an operating system upgrade to Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). This maintenance release includes various bug fixes and enhancements based on customer feedback.
Accept and install the update as it includes many important fixes that will improve your experience with this device.

If it drops on the SDcard as an update.zip, can you post it so we may all get it early?
Is it not as simple anymore? Or can someone post the Full Odin image?
It downloads to /cache, but I'll get the update.zip posted when I get the ota request again, as I haven't gotten it again after odining yet.

it's a staggered rollout, so you'll get it sometime within the next few days. It won't work unless you're stock without root.
How is a /cache update applied?
(I know we will be given instructions when it's posted... I am just curious.)
That's just where the update downloads from T-mobile. It will be a regular update.zip when it is posted.
I think my phone has already downloaded the update file. Its asking to install. I don't want to install or odin. How do I stop the notification from showing up on the status bar?

Not sure what it fixes but it IS ok to install on the smooth maximus ginger clone. I did it by accident and everything seems to be working just fine.

My hunch is that you didn't update, as I had the same thing happen, it rebooted like it installed, but it didn't do anything.
sduvick you are right I still have T839UVKD1 and not the updated T839UVKG2. But my update notification in the status bar is gone.

Hi, I am getting my G2x next Friday and of coarse, gonna be rooting it as soon as I have it. But I want a plain 2.3.3 OTA rooted rom. No fancy names, EagleBlood, WeaponX and so on.. where or which one can I get? That has everything stock so I can remove and play with. Thank you.

Use this. It's the best stock ROM we have. Super quick, super awesome. Debloated and tweaked for performance.
is this the official ota, or just a leak before ota happend? latest but rooted? just want to get my answers before my phone gets here and because i dont like all that much tweaking of a rom or adding stuff to it just like i noticed with the xboarder link he added that host file adblock, can that just be uninstalled and be back to normal?

or you can try faux's rom and kernel it works well.

There is no adblock. It's an optional add on. It is the official OTA. He just slimmed it down and made it faster. No UI tweaks, or graphical tweaks of any kind
Yeah I was using xboarders tweeked version and it was great Super stable and great battery life no real issues. The completly stock one is good to but the tweek is better. It was my favorite till I installed eaglesblood 1.0.8 that is the best ROM ever made great everything it has a few issues but they are not specific to that ROM no one has figured out A2DP yet to my knowledge. I'm sure they will soon though. I think everyone should use eaglesblood.
Here. This is the OTA 2.3.3 update. It is rooted but that's pretty much it. Still has all the T-Mobile blaotware, etc. Flash it via clockworkmod recovery.

Yea this is the same as the OTA from July/August, its just already rooted. Its not the leaked version from back in April or May or whenever that was. Right now this is the easiest (maybe the only?) way to have rooted 2.3.3 stock rom. You have to use nvflash (check development section for easy-to-use nvflash tool) to flash clockworkmod recovery and then you can boot into recovery and flash this zip.
And note that this zip will not touch your baseband.
Here's a link to the nvflash recovery flasher

Check about phone in the settings when you get it, if your baseband is the march one then you need to run the lg update tool to get the new one.
No other way to get it, and it's a huge improvement.

If you flash a rooted room via clockwork it'll be fine. The official update can't be rooted but nothing can stop you from installing a completely new, rooted rom.

Currently running miui with matrix kernel and I'm looking into flashing a stock gingerbread ROM to receive ics when it is released. I've flashed customs ROMs before but have never gone back to stock. How do I go about doing this? Will I need to reroot my phone? And will I be able to flash a kernel on the stock ROM? Thanks

You can be rooted with another recovery, But need stock rom and kernel.
Until and unless you believe that you will be the first one to get the OTA, you need not worry about the OTA. It will be up on XDA as soon as OTA is rolled and you be flashing it even before the OTA is actually is pushed to you
Just got a notification, update size 114.9mb, rebooting right now to install.

You can flash a rooted version (such as the CWM Deodexed rooted release in Development), or you can just flash su directly. I would avoid flashing a full EP4D Odin for now because we don't have a dump of the CDMA modem, so you would be overwriting the CDMA modem with an older version by using the Odin.
Flashing imoseyon's kernel from Rootzwiki would also give you root, as well as lagfix and some other extras, but be aware that it is based on a slightly older kernel. I haven't had any problems with it yet, but it's something to be aware of.
