How funny

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!!!!

OTA update?

Is it normal that I still haven't gotten any OTA update? Im over in NY and went to stock ROM, went to stock recovery, and unrooted the phone. When is the OTA update rolling out until? Did it stop? I keep getting connection failed when manually looking for a software update.
And I don't want to manually use the LG tool because I am afraid of bricking the phone and don't want to go through the trouble of unbricking it.

I never got the OTA either and it was announced they stopped. The LG updating didn't brick my phone either.

I was actually wondering the same thing.
I called Tmo CS over a week ago, and he swore that I would be getting either an email, text or phone call, letting me know that I would be getting the update. He was nice, but I think he was new (didn't seem all that sharp). I did ask him about the rumor that they stopped the OTA, and he said that there was nothing about that in his system. He said, according to his system, it was still active. I asked him like 3x lol.
I have a refurb, so can't use the LG update tool. I know there is an alternate way of doing it, here on the forums, but I'm just too darn lazy lol. I will be calling Tmo again, in the next few days. If I get any useful info, I will pass it along to you.
I like my G2x, but honestly...between LG and Tmo, this has been one, huge clusterf**k. Thank God for the devs here, and around the net. They have done what LG and Tmo have continuously failed to do...made me a happy G2x owner!

ive had the same issue trying to do it by the phone so used LG tool and .... bricked my phone
i called Tmo and they exchanged my phone at no cost. the new one came with Gb preinstalled.

Why not just screw the OTA and grab one of the great custom, pre rooted roms. I did the OTA thing and had to re root. Ran the official update for two days and got tired of the thing. The custom roms spoil you.

I'm running EB 2.3.3, and love it. And thanks to EB, I also love my G2X again. But I would like to have the new baseband. And I can only get that from the update.
Really, what I think it comes down to (for me), is that I want T-Mobile to step the hell up, and stop jerking me around. How do you release an OTA...but only to SOME? I've just never heard of such a thing. And how do you release your "flagship" phone, then realize it's got issues, and then try to sweep all the owners of said "flagship" under the carpet...where you don't have to deal with them any more? It just makes me sad. I used to brag to all my friends, how much I loved T-Mobile.

I kind of sympathize, but people recommend custom roms as a blanket solution to random issues way too often. Don't get me wrong, I love EB and CM, and xboarder's rom is fantastic, but the first two don't have a2dp and the latter won't still give you a new baseband. For people like me who have a non-functional gps and rely on a2dp, the official update is pretty critical.
Also, is there any evidence suggesting T-Mobile actually pulled the update? I think I know the post where this rumor started, and for what it's worth, a pretty knowledgeable rep told me about a week ago that the OTA is still rolling out, and will continue to do so through August. If the roll-out is slow, I don't think its too surprising considering what little space lg has to screw up again.

Well here it is posted on T-Mobile Support forum. The post says its created by T-Mobile so I'd say its legit, not a rumor.

Actually, although EB 2.3.5 doesn't have A2DP, EB 2.3.3 does.
And the mms works SO much better than other ROMS I've tried.

[Q] Anyone try the new LG/Tmo update?

http://phandroid.com/2011/12/06/t-mobile-g2x-gingerbread-update-ota-resumes/ points to a new OTA from Tmo/LG. I think its the July update, but I'd like to confirm that there isn't anything more to it. Anyone know?

So that means NO ICS!!!! Time to shop for another phone possibly?? How could a phone so great be in so much hot water?

Huh? LG already stated they would make an ICS update for us. Plus CM9 has already been made for this phone. So we're getting ICS either way.

tmonews reported this update as a re-roll out for anyone who missed the OTA update from July. Has nothing to do with any future ICS eligibility and there's probably nothing new.

So this update is nothing different than the one that was released in July?

This is a little bizarre.

Yes it's the same. I remember calling t-mobile in the first week of August because I never got the ota, and I checked everyday since its release. They told me back then that I could be put on a list and wait to receive the ota once they decided to roll it out again, or use the lg updating software on the lg site. I went with the latter.
I can't believe it took them this long for the re-roll out! They are moving these ota's at a snails pace. In conclusion if you don't have a nexus then you know the word OTA is just a damn over-hyped buzz word.

I never got an OTA. Just some speal about the LG updater.
OTA = bricking your G2x using the LG Updater tool and getting repaired = Bada Boom!

Jelly been release ?!

I'm sorry I know this has been posted before but December is pretty much here when is the release coming and why Verizon why? WHY !!!!
Sent from my VZW S3 Galaxy

Its coming on Tuesday. I know this because a friend of a friend told the cop that gave me the ticket for driving while talking on my cell phone. Its how it came up.
.... Or you can go to the Dev section and put it on your phone now.
LoL - "jelly been" HA!
PS... sorry for being an ass.

Verizon usually trails general release of Android by 3-6 months. If it comes before the end of the year, it'll be extremely fast.

Yeah, Verizon...um.....yeah.
I had a Galaxy Nexus from Verizon & it never received the "official" 4.1.2 update from Google. Supposed to get all updates since it was a Google phone, but since it was Verizon, I gave up on them & installed all updates through custom roms. I suggest you give up on Verizon & do the same. Unlock, root & rom your GS3. Jellybean is great on it.

I agree with Chocu1a, JB is awesome on the Galaxy S3. I just recently took the plunge, this being my first Android device, it was surprisingly easy, considering some amazing devs on xda made it so easy to do. It makes a great phone better.
As for Verizon releasing JB, I could imagine June 2013 would still be a little soon. Haha. I can't deny their impeccable service though, that LTE screams.
VZW SGS3 Rooted, Unlocked, CWM6, Stock JB ROM.

Yea I gave up too. I recommend flashing taste of beans 3.5. Has the 4.2 keyboard which is miles ahead of the touch wiz keyboard. Rooting and flashing is a simple process and you get a nice adrenaline rush on the first boot.
Maybe Google will team up with Dish network and everyone can ditch Verizon. Here's hoping.

You can flash the latest stock K1 jellybean update if you dont want a custom rom. Take the time and do some research in the dev section...so easy my 1yr old can do it!

Isn't it time for some idiot to post that the Verizon CSR they spoke to, that sounded really knowledgeable, (LOL) said they heard it was going to be released in a week.

I spoke with a reallly nice Verizon CSR, and she told me for sure it will be coming out soon. Lol.

I was told by a very knowledgeable CSR that my JB update was pushed yesterday.
It's fast very fast.
:good:

The most honest answer I've gotten from a CSR was they don't know. However, they usually get an email from Verizon telling them its coming about 2 weeks (and at least 1 week) prior to the release. They haven't gotten the email so probably not soon. Not particularly helpful but honest.

After the S4 releases on Big Red for a few months and they feel like throwing the S3 a bone.

This reminds me of when the epic touch 4g came out I went to the sprint store to look at it and when I spoke to the CSR about how the 3g speeds were he said "I've had all of them and sprint is by far the fastest".

Is the leaked Jb with touchwiz 100% stable? And by 100% stable I mean just as stable as ICS touchwiz was, No "oh everything works except bla bla bla bla bla bla and bla"...

Hi, I have a Verizon S3 flashed to Boost Mobile. I tried to gain root by flashing a stock rooted Rom and messed up the flash. I had to take it back to be flashed again Now I'm more cautious before hand. I should have backed it up before attempting it, I know I know lol can anyone shed some light on how to update a flashed phone as well as how to root it. I could really use the help
Also after I messed up the boost flash I paniced and flashed a sprint kernel hoping this would fix the problem. Since then anything that I've tried to view including taking camera shots and web browsing if done in landscape mode will be upside down, any remedy for this problem? I know now... root first, flash later.

Yes everything works lol. The last leak is probaly gonna be the OTA anyways. Just odin the K1 release, no need to root or unlock.

I heard that Verizon had scheduled the Jelly Bean release for Friday in New York. However the police felt that dropping small candies from a great height onto the tourist in time square might be dangerous so the whole thing was scrapped. Verizon is going back to the drawing board and we should be hearing new details about a release in 7 to 357 days.

About freaking time. I just hope it resolves the annoying LTE disconnects.

Radio thread in Dev section, see if they help.

Awesome!

The wife and I both tried downloading the update on 4g network (at separate locations) and both updates failed! Now both phones stuck in an endless loop of trying and falling. Tried battery and SIM pull, no dice. Verizon says to do a hard reset. Why not, I love spending hours rebuilding my phone. Good start, eh?

LOL just wait for the rooted version and flash it

Wow, the ota did all that?
Well, ICS is only 5 months late, but it's still better than never. I've got until may on the bolt; maybe longer if I holdout for the next galaxy or galaxy note offering. ICS, I hope, will make that wait more tolerable.
Not to appear ungrateful, but I wonder if we'll ever get Google now or any other JB goodies? I know we'll never see JB for this thing.

There are unofficially ways to get an older version of Google now but honestly it's time to get a new phone for all of us only reason I haven't is because I don't have the $250 to get a Gnex.

You can do better than that. I jumped ship on this dog in Nov and found not one, but two mint GNex on eBay for around $180 each. Now I enjoy all kinds of great continuing & new JB development. ICS, are you kidding me?! Dump that thing & get something better.

one happy ex-bolt owner

oh my friggin god.... the update is finally out. I waited so long I ended up doing all the cool stuff to put Liquid ICS on my phone just last monday (not yesterday). Barely 1 week later verizon comes out with the update.
I'm not too savvy on this stuff much these days but what does this mean for getting Jelly Bean? Will people be able to port it from another phone or something now that the official ICS is out or is it two totally different things?

Yay. Yawn.
I will only be interested if the battery life is no worse than GB.
If that miracle comes to pass, then I will only flash a rooted and de-krufted version.
Oh, yeah, almost forgot: Verizon sucks. Can't wait until my contract is over. Nexus 5 for me.

Hi,
I'm currently not using my T-Bolt and WIFI isn't working either, so I'm stuck doing a direct update via the SD card. Can someone please provide a link to the file? That would be so appreciated.

Well, the wife was able to resolve hers by doing a battery/SIM pull. I wasn't so lucky and had to do a hard reset, but that went off fine. I just hate how freakin' time consuming it is to put everything back the way it was. But, a couple hours later it's done. And I have to say it's a nice upgrade from GB. I almost feel like I got a new phone without losing my unlimited data! ;-} Honestly, I didn't hate the phone before, so this is really a nice upgrade to me. Time will tell on the battery life, but I could almost always get through a day before. If it's no worse, I'm happy. ICS does have some nice features and it seems to be alot snappier than GB was. And FINALLY, the screens rotate all the way around! Woo-hoo! Took the ba$tard$ long enough.

I just took the ota on my wife's tbolt after unrooting and I'm quite impressed on the improvements it made. But I for one am sticking with the sgs3 until the sgs4 drops. But good luck to all tbolt users you waited patiently and the very best to you.

Better late than never I suppose. Hopefully this gives the thunderbolt some new life for those with a while left on their contact. Verizon REALLY needs to get better with pushing out updates. Its bad. They're by far the worst.
