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

Doesn't work. Error message.

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?

The problems were with their ****ty Kies app. I built Assonance on top of that firmware and not a single person had an SD-card blowup in the thread.

Will it be made into an Odin when it comes out?

Can we flash it back to stock ROM though? I remember there was talk here about the stock ROM and how we can't flash it back to stock or something, but that was a couple months ago... and I've started to lose track of things here.
Edit: Hmm... Looks like I found a thread on how to get back to the Rogers ROM.

They also said Froyo was to be released in mid-December of 2010. Phone release was also massively delayed.

i believe it was infact the kernel that caused the issues, did you build the kernel from bell sources?
DG pulled perception 9 which was not even i9000m based but i think the kernel he built was. perception 9 was rereleased as 9.5 with a different kernel. there were users on that thread reporting sd card problems but very few, still risky. that said the telus rom didnt cause any problems and neither did the i9000 international so i think the captivate is safe. as the software is ready you guys might even beat att to the punch this time! if you get hsupa enabled this time ill definitely flash a rogers rom.

Ignore this message because of a double posting.

I was able to get mine to stock Rogers ROM but I dont know if its able to get EXACTLY like how rogers has. Mine looks like the rogers one but I think it was made off the AT&T one because it has their logo on the bootup and its not JF6 (mine says JI2 unless thats how it is on a stock Rogers I didnt check before I did flashing), I was able to get rid of the AT&T logo but that still bugs me unless someone can confirm this for me.

Yeah. You can get the Rogers stock files somewhere on the forums and just flash it all using Heimdall. Thats what I did after Odin bricked my phone twice ;D. Also, no Froyo yet. Don't expect it any time soon - this IS Rogers we're dealing with.

It isn't Kies that was the issue. This was happening to people well before the 2.2 update and at random times. My girlfriend's Vibrant has gone twice now. Once just randomly force closing everything and then dying while on 2.1, the second one which came from Samsung with 2.2 on it also did the same thing. She is now waiting for phone #3. Hardware has to be a factor.

speaking of which.. rogers/samsung has started pushing froyo 2.2 lol.. finally.. you'll need a kies update http://www.samsungapps.com/about/onPc.as

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?

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!

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...

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..
Hey, I'm just one guy reporting what he was told... For what it's worth, the guy that I spoke to... His name is Tim.

well then give everyone a nexus or a raincheck to s3 lol what else dude one way or the other consumer will win.. lol

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.)

[Q] help with ICS 4 manual update on Atrix2

SOS
here's my story - i bought the atrix2 (MB865) in the US but now i'm in Malaysia. i tried updating to ICS4 via the phone but it always prmpt saying its already the latest update. my friend has the same model which he bought from Malaysia was able to update. i email motorola USA and they said the model that i have is actually a south american model. ok... so i got con.
i checked the south american motorola website and ics4 was released in september 2012 to only certain carrier :good:. so it's very unlikely that i will be going to south america and pick the right carrier just to update my phone.
question now is, is there a safe way that i can update to ics4 without screwing up my phone and if YES, pls can you show me how. much appreciated to everyone who can assist, cheers.

Well, there are 2 "retail south america "meixico" firmwares that you could try and flash and I am pretty sure these are not ICS though, just the standard 2.3.5/6.

Again, sorry to say that these are NOT ICS, but you might be able to flash them and check again for an update, just in-case your firmware is NOT 100% standard/stock. Checking for updates on a non-stock/100% standard rom tends to not find the updates.
And there also may not be another way to get the ICS update if youre not on the network that the phone was originally meant for, since it would be theirs and motorola's joint firmware on a server connected to that cell network (usually).
And Since we do not have the firmware on this site, you really do not have too many other options.
