Update to GB? - T-Mobile Sidekick 4G

I went to the Relay4g, so I gave my son my old SK4g.
He said that it tried to update today.
Does this mean custom 2.3-actual in the works?
Anyone w/stock ROM get this?

Lol I'm on a custom rom, but this temps me to Odin and find out

Wait, what?
It probably just had old firmware on it and it tried to update.

Highly doubt this as the phone was discontinued and abandon by the developers

Ill try and do it when I get home, anyone see anything on samsungs site?

ok unrooted and tried... nothing... ill let it ride overnight but ill have to reroot in the am as im very doubtful there is a gingerbread update. if there really is an update im sure it would just be bug fixes and such for a newer stock froyo... even this i kinda doubt

It may be trying to update to KJ2. I received an email from Sammy stating that GB is not even being considered.

Got my stock SK4G today (no bad IMEI, yay!) and decided to check for firmware before rooting. According to Kies Mini, the upgrade version is T839UVKJ2/T839UVKJ2 11/11/07.
Hope no one got their hopes up.

You got it too? Idk I postponed for 30 min. I don't want to update until I know what it is. I wanted to try to download it somehow so I can post for those who need it. I saw this yesterday but I'm not holding my breath until I know for sure... I would think gingerbread would be a rather large update tho

only uckk4 is corrupt. that's the one that dropped today. all the other leaks are working. look for uckk3, or better yet get the phone recovered with the stock package, get cwm, (I'd use the defuse kernel oneclick heimdall, quickest way to get cwm from stock) then flash caty rom or victory rom which will be rooted.

I have a small panic attack when I think of people flashing ROMs without knowing how to restore/unbrick. Especially leaks.

[Q] Official Gingerbread 2.3.6 to Froyo 2.2.1 Need Help!

I have the Infuse and I just upgraded to Gingerbread 2.3.6 using kies mini and the update from samsung. Upon downloading it and using it for a few days I absoutely hate it and would like to go back to Froyo 2.2.1. I have searched and searched through thread after thread and I have found no solution to this problem due to the fact that you can not root the official Gingerbread 2.3.6 and seems like this is a common problem with no real answer. I have an idea and im no expert but thats why I am here for the help. My girl also has an Infuse and she is still running the Froyo. My question to all of you is there a way to use her phone with the original Froyo OS and transfer it to My Infuse with Gingerbread OS or does anyone know of a solution to the rooting problem with 2.3.6? Thanks for your time.
Read this thread and choose the method best suited for you. Personally, I have always found that Odin is easier to use.

How do you not like gingerbread? Copy and paste. Smoother. More options. More apps work. Etc...
If you hate gingerbread don't go to jellybean they really rearrange the buttons on top of the new features.
Gingerbread made my lock screen not work properly and some of the features I didn't like so I'm running 4.0.4 and so far I love it.

New Jellybean Update

Hey guys. So my family members and I all have the same phone type, the AT&T skyrocket. Now, I use custom roms so this shouldnt matter to me, but my other family members arent getting the update OTA. Is the update only obtainable with Kies or is there just a problem between the AT&T server and their phones?

Only kies.

Uh I wouldn't want to grab that thing ota. Way to much to go wrong especially battery issues. If some moron decides oh hey yeah lemme DL this with what battery I have left over my 4g network. Dudes battery drains over the course the phone reboots to try and install said update phone dies and bricks. Kies ensures that A. You have a good download of the update package and B. Since you are connected you have juice to update the phone. This is CYA stuff not an oversight. I've seen tons of noobs on plenty of phones "the ota bricked my phone".

I was just saying kies is a pos. But I agree with you on kies being better than ota. I still prefer flashing a zip or odin a tar.

Not sure what are the differences between AT&T and Rogers but with Rogers I got my last 2 updates ota. I may be a newb but I'm not stupid so I made sure I had enough battery before proceeding
But it does not matter anymore now that I use custom ROMs.
So ota depends on Samsung and not the carrier?

I believe I read somewhere Samsung makes the update and the carrier determines whether to roll it out in your area.. working deals with Sammy...but don't quote me on that.If you do a search... that would be interesting to know for sure
OTA vs Kies

Yeah I know that the carrier controls whether an update will be released or not. They have to put all their bloatware and test it!
I was asking for the OTA vs Kies part. I thought that Since ICS (4.0), everything was available from OTA. But I think that you can always choose to update via Kies. I did not know that an update could only be released via Kies (disabling OTA). Not sure either.
Anyways! As I said, for me, not important anymore!!

I was able to check for start downloading the OTA from AT&T after already getting it on kies by reflashing to stock ICS. I stopped the OTA though because I wanted to redownload it in Kies to get the tar from the temp file for backup. The funny thing is that I had to do it twice because I messed up trying to find the file before it disappeared. It disappears after flashing is complete so you have to reflash ICS and do it again. Or u can take the easy way and download it off the web...but where's the fun in that?
Similar?

Well since it's not important, I would guess, your data provider haha. Just going from Kies showing my number along with model number, I would assume they checked if I had service alongside checking my SIM card. Maybe check without a SIM and see what happens?
