AT&T hax... They watching u.

Hopefully it's a browser fix!!

checked mine manually and downloaded an ~8MB update. Phone rebooted by itself into some kind of bootloaded, installed the update and rebooted itself.
Not sure what changed but system info now says:
Firmware 2.2.1
Baseband I997UCKE3
Kernel 2.6.32.9
Build number FROYO.UCKE3
Can you guys compare it to your non updated system info?

Cmon now... This is AT&T here... I doubt it..

my OTA update doesn't work. Device management says that it's connecting to DM server. but it never connects. It just fails.
I unfroze all of my apps, the only thing that isn't really stock is that it's rooted. everything else is stock. any ideas?
it didn't work before i rooted either

Are you rooted?
My phone was on counter and I noticed device manager running, but nothing came of it. Cleared device manager data and powered off/on and rechecked. "Software up to date" ,but still on UCKD5???
Only have 2-3bars at house though.
I am rooted and froze tethering manager.

[Q] T Mobile update 11/21/2011

My daughter's phone this morning had an update from T-Mobile. I told her not to install it, as it may revoke root.
She clicked on it (kids....), but luckily it says it's been post-poned until the 22nd (tomorrow)..
Just wondering if anyone has any idea what it is?
I know any OTA updates may potentiall revoke root, but just wondering if anyone else has gotten this.

The worst it could do is overwrite your root, but it wouldn't take that ability away, you would just need to re-root it after the update was completed. I heard some rumors that KJ2 was being pushed out as an official update, but I'm not entirely sure.

It's 100% true or i wouldn't have posted it. I got the update via Kies. It's coming OTA soon.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Whats KJ2?
Also im running Gingerbreak on it, if it revokes the root, would the thing even boot up?

I got it today. No obvious changes but it does seem to work a bit smoother.

Gingerbreak? you mean GingerClone? Gingerbreak is the rooting method for Gingerbread (2.3).
KD1 was the original stock firmware, then they pushed KG2 as an update, and the latest update is KJ2, which includes some bugfixes and not many other changes.

You can still root after the update. KJ2 is seriously worth it. The phone runs so smoothly now. Although, I still think this is TM's way of staving us off until they release GB. XD

Sorry, you are correct
So it's safe to install the update? I'll tell her to do it as soon as I get home.

is anything else different? I generally try to let others test the waters first, since the last "update" merely removed a useful shortcut function and added Google Books as bloat.

You wont notice anything different except maybe better performance. You should do it.

I went ahead and grabbed the update off Kies. So far, it looks like the persistent memory leak issues have been addressed in the Touchwiz/Zipwip software package. Also, my battery performance has returned to what I expected with KD1 (given my device's configuration).
I haven't encountered any drawbacks to upgrading. No reason to stick with KG2 or KD1 at this point--unless you fell in love with a custom...

I am running gingerclone as well, i got the notice for the update but postponed it, I didn't know if it would be safe to run since i wasn't on a stock rom, I got tired of seeing the update icon so i let it run, it failed.
The phone rebooted and I have not seen the update notice again.

I have TouchMIUIwiz v3 and I also ran the update after getting sick of the constant reminder and icon. It failed and disappears for a few days then come back. I've repeated the process a few times now.

Update installed fine for her and nothing is too different. Safe to go.

It won't work unless your on a completly stock and unmodified rom.

If only that would make it stop bothering me to run an update that will constantly fail every few days.

Agreed ^^^ ur "friend" is lying. When officialbics hits this subsection will blow up, trust me
*#* Google dropbox, its useful.
https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTcwNDE0ODUyOQ *#*

I think it is available. I am on 2.3.6 and checked. It said I had an update but servers were busy and it would try again. I tried to check again but now it says I'm updated and I can check again in 24 hours, which is frustrating.

No update. I'm on stock unrooted 2.3.6. Checked and I'm up to date.

Its the same 2.3.6 update that they keep rolling out in waves.

I have the stock GB but rooted with cwm. I got rid of all the att crap with root installer. I took the OTA 'update' and after restart it reported the update failed. Also corrupted my encrypted sd card. dunno why. it won't 'continue update' as grayed out. Especially pissed now as OPs are saying this isn't even the (long awaited) ICS update.
My advice: ignore this update.
I'm waiting for a stable ICS from Samsung to show up on xda; I'll flash that.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App

Can someone edit the thread title to remove ICS from it? It's irking me.

Yes I keep seeing this thread get bumped and want to go insane

Don't be so negative guys. They roll out OTA really slowly. Sometime over a month or two. This might be real.

OTA-Did you get it? Withdrawn?

My daughter got it early on. I didn't. I'm having a lot of battery issues and rebooting. I want this update, hopefully it will cure my problems.
Reading the posts here, it seems it may have been withdrawn,
So I ask, Did you get the OTA? When?

I saw in the other post about the update that someone had it waiting for them Monday morning so I guess that means it wasn't withdrawn as of yesterday?

I never got it, either.

My wife hasn't gotten it, but I installed a different kernel. Would that keep her from getting the notice?
I figured if the ROM was stock, she would be ok...

I'm stock. I'm on 2.3.3 and v21e.
I'm curious and just want a show of hands from people who got it after the first couple of days.
Like I said, I did see where someone said they got it apparently over the weekend. This tells me it's not withdrawn?
And isn't the consensus that the OTA goes more smoothly than through LG?

Here's the problem, there's the lgp999DW, DWP, and 2 others that I dont remember off the top of my head. Only 3 of the 4 got the OTA. They're supposed to make the file available, for those who didnt recieve it like they were supposed to, around May 14. At that time I'm sure there should be a way to force load the update for our model.

I did the whole stock format and search for update, did the stock format and connected to my computer, all said the same thing, "Your device is up-to-date. 2.3.3 V21e." There is no current sure-fire way to get the update until they release it.

I just went through the G2x forum at T-Mobile and several reported getting the update today.

OK, found out the update was for lg p999DW models only. If you wanna which one you have, remove your battery cover and right below were the battery goes in little white print you should see something LG-P999DW or LG-P999DWP.

Official OTA is v21e
Unofficial OTA is v21y
v21y is highly NOT RECOMMENDED!!!
You can try by offline-upgrading back and forth both versions and check out the battery life

I accidentally thanked you so your welcome , but how is it not official? From what i understand it was an official update from them, i dont think it was a leak either as they even gave out an update schedule, maybe they pulled it but its still 'official' from them.

Phone Update...but not ICS

There is a minor update coming....sucks it isn't ICS, but they tend to push out these updates just before a major upgrade...so fingers crossed.
http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-4182
Whether or not it is worth installing, though....and it does look like your phone has to be unrooted.

I've kept my phone on its stock ROM and unrooted, and it looks like my waiting finally paid off! Hoping you're right, and that this is a pre-req for the upcoming ICS release. Maybe this will coincide with the T-mo release of the Blaze Q (QWERTY version of the Blaze 4G)?
Also, has this update gone live yet? I'm using WiFi at the moment and so far I get a message saying there isn't an update available from the server

Can someone confirm if I have to be unrooted?
Sent from my SGH-T769 using xda premium

I put my sim into the blaze and nothing no update ota yet lol if anyone gets it before midnight hit me up on a PM
if not then tomorrow it goes live on mini kies and i'll just download it there

This is why I always flash recovery first and run a backup of stock prior to rooting. I will backup where I am now and check to see if there's anything to this update.
This also kind of confirms that ICS will be coming soon as stated... kinda exciting!

Just wanted to point out, this made it to tmonews:
http://www.tmonews.com/2012/07/sams...pdate-prepares-device-for-ice-cream-sandwich/
"We saw something very similar for the Galaxy S II as a small maintenance update arrived a few weeks before Ice Cream Sandwich. We hope that same scenario plays out here as well. Stay tuned for Ice Cream Sandwich Blaze 4G owners."

Huh... How do I revert to Stock unrooted? Also, do I HAVE to update to install future custom ICS ROMs? I'd rather just wait until the source code is released ans I'll just install a Stock custom ROM. I need clarification. Because I don't feel like reverting to Touchwiz -_-

just because u said u don't like touchwiz made me answer this more
to return to unrooted stock you need to use the stock LB7 tar file and the blaze.pit file and Odin back to stock
I beliieve k0nane made a good guide for that on dev forum.
And you can always wait as soon as Kies updates tomorrow with LF4 i'll download and decrypt it and use it for base no my build 5 for dknight which is going to add some awesome stuff on top of the already awesome stuff

Update is live through Kies as of 9am cst. You lose CWM through the update and cannot be rooted.
So will the current CWM and rooting methods be ok to be used again? I hate bloat

How long did it take for the update to work via Kies?
I started the firmware download, and once the download finished Kies kind of.. froze. Didn't see any activity in task manager, phone didn't show anything besides the normal home screen. Disconnected the phone with no ill effects fortunately.
Probably because I'm running Windows 8 release preview.. will try on my other Windows 7 rig
