Please check /cache and copy all files from it before rebooting to install.
That way, we can get a copy.
For more advanced users, please run a logcat during download process, so that we can try and get a URL to download it manually.
Thanks!
no prob I was just saying in another thread that i am new to the forums and a verizon wireless employee. I was just about to post a thread letting all the devs know that i have access to info a few days (sometimes...you guys are good) before the general public. I also have a thunderbolt that im not afraid to brick trying new things (giunea pig) because i can get it replaced being an employee.

I'm assuming that if you're rooted you shouldn't touch any updates until they've been modified by the devs?

Honestly I am noobish myself but from what I understand if you CAN get the update, it may unroot your device but you just have to do the last few steps of the rooting process over to gain root again. If you are using a custom ROM you may have to manually push the update to the phone.
Again this is not absolute but this is what I believe to be true. If I am mistaken please correct me. This is why I think the OP wants to be able to download it from a website...and also to tear it down for any new goodies

There's been some talk that they'll force-push the update. Dunno the veracity of that. I'm thinking about returning to stock beforehand.
What can we do to stop the OTA?

If that's the case, there must be a way to block or prevent this. Would any devs care to add their valuable input?
Would switching to an AOSP make any difference?
The release date is 05/03/2011. That means, we have ample time to get a plan in place. I'm sure I'm not the only one that would hate to re-root their phone.
Is it possible for them to lock the bootloader with this OTA?

I would say switching to aosp would prevent it as it prevented the updating of the prl.
No. In motorola phones they are locked by hardware. If you were to install a new kernel it trips a component that basically bricks your phone and to disable the trip you would need to crack military grade encryption. We are okay.

I already put in a different thread that verizon has announced that the ota is scheduled for release 5/3. I have noticed in the past that software updates have been released earlier than scheduled release dates (e.g. froyo update for fascinate was available 7pm the night before)

According to this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1027706) in the development forum, CM7 is listed under "AOSP Based." As for senseless ROM's, I think it depends on the specific ROM in question, as some are and some aren't (but I could be wrong).
Are we waiting for the update that was just recently announced? The same one that's already in bamf? Or am I missing something?

I might have just saw the update. I saw something out of the corner of my eye in the notification bar but when I turned my head nothing. I then rebooted my phone and I saw something else out of the corner of my eye (I have really good peripheral vision). There is a small chance it was the clock changing times (yes my vision is that good). I will let everyone know if the phone feels faster and more updated to know for sure.

Anyone deodexing and rooting this?
Nice find.
Hopefully its the released version of GB for the Tbolt and will work its way into a vartiety of ROMs, such as NonS3ns3.
Do you know what radios go with it?
Is it safe to flash this if I am rooted, running gingerbread with s-off? I know I would lose root. Thanks.
As it stands right now, if you are currently rooted then do not flash this ruu.
Wait until the devs gave time to build and test.
Once a Rom can be pulled from this build, we may get an opportunity to try it out ;-)

I'm pretty sure he didn't mean the other way around. Think about it... If you take the camera libs from 605.2 put them in a 605.0 ROM you have added all the changes from the new version without creating another virtually identical ROM.

I just have a question about installing the theme chooser on any rooted and deoxed ROM. Is it possible? I'm running one of jboxers roms. I saw one thread here at xda about it but the guy was asking about sense roms.
It can be installed on any ROM based off of the CM7 source. (I think it can at least, I've never tried it on MIUI but you don't need it there)

What needs to be changed in the rom? Is it edits to the framework? If I can do it, it would be an interesting project to try.
It would be cool to see a stockish ROM with that kind if theme support. I did read elsewhere it needs some frameworks found in cm7.

Try to push it to a stock room with adb. It will fail, and somewhere it will say why. Fix the why.
I haven't got the slightest idea as to what exactly the theme chooser relies on.

I'd be happy to help with this. I have adb installed and am wanting to learn ROM development anyways. I can figure out how to work adb this weekend and try then. Does anyone know where I can get a theme chooser apk?

Search Google for "T-Mobile Theme Chooser." It was code written by T-Mobile for their phones. That is what CM7 and others use to implement this feature. It requires the framework to be decompiled and recompiled with support code for the theme chooser. It is just not installing a program. it is very technical and not easy to do.

To quote Brut.all there "I think "INSTALL_FAILED_SHARED_USER_INCOMPATIBLE" is straightforward: Android refuses to install apk with UID if it has different certs than already installed app."
and Daneshm90 "Yup so u got 2 options,
1. Find all the apks that have the same uid and resign them with the same keys
2. Remove the uid from the manifest and hope it works"
I am not sure exactly where to go from here. Is there a tool that would let me open up the APK and see the UID?

Requires modifications to the framework to work.

would it be possible to insert only those specific entries to the framework and make this work? its really the only reaon anymore i prefer to use a rom, considering 2.3.3 has fixed many of the bugs that originally made me switch.

In theory yes, but if you were good enough at ROM development to be able to do so, you wouldn't be asking these questions. Even if you want to learn, start with something easier.

well it just so happens that i have the p500 factory 2.3.3 flashed on my p509 now right now, since they dont have an official tmo version yet. but it is european based, so what im wondering is, would that already be incorporated into the "ROM" inces its european, or maybe not conidering the p500 isnt a t-mobile phone, and both prerequisites arent met, 1. european firmware, and 2. t-mobile branded
what do yall think??
