when someone officially gets this new software update installed post here. and whether or not u did it through clockwork or had to revert back to stock.
http://www.droid-life.com/2010/09/2...-fascinate-its-not-android-2-2/#disqus_thread
What I'm interested in with this update is whether or not removing or renaming the bloatware apps (especially Bing) will cause trouble with applying this and future updates.
i tried the OTA (Over The Air) method and its not picking up any update i wonder if people who have rooted there phone can get this update.
I tried checking, but the updater app is telling me the server is unavailable.

yes now im getting the same message
Will clockwork block this?
Remember, one of the known issues on the Fascinate is that you can't check for OTA updates using WiFi, so make sure your WiFi is off when you force check for updates. =)
I have both a rooted and a stock fascinate so when it's available I will know for sure if being rooted affects getting otas.

Yeah same here.
I want to get rid of that damned lost signal tone.
Yep updated failed with CW installed. The update app tells me there is an update but fails to install. I may flash back later and try it again.
failed with stock kernel, re-installed stock recovery to test that and now my update went away..
guess I'll have to wait until it comes back to test.
Where the heck does it download it to? I can't find it in cache, where the updates usually download to.

I'm running the stock ROM, rooted. When the next OTA drops, whether it be GB or just the removal of Free Hotspot, obviously I'm not going to be wanting it to auto-download/install. Aside from editing the build.prop file (which I never messed with) that I noticed mentioned in a thread from a few months ago, are there any options (other than flashing a different ROM) to stop the update from pushing to my TB? Will it disable OTA updates if I freeze Updater 2.2 with Titanium Backup?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
You won't automatically get the OTA and have it installed. You have to accept it and allow it to be downloaded and installed. But I believe the build.prop is where you have to make the change (device ID??) so that it won't get to you.
Most roms that have you flash standalone gapps packages use FOTAKill to kill ota updates.

Flashing fotakill is not flashing a rom...but ok...didn't realize that was implied.
I was just sharing...but I will bite my tongue in the future.
My mistake, I thought you were implying that flashing a ROM would remedy the situation because they're already including FOTA Kill (which it would.) I didn't realize you were referring to just flashing FOTA Kill standalone. Is that even possible on a stock rooted TB?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
lol dont know if anyone saw or not but if your rooted the update wont come to you period so no need to worry about it. As long as you s off you wont be receiving OTA update unless u go and check for them ur self.

I'm not exactly sure the detail of it other than running a service that prevents ota. I would have thought it could be applied to stock assuming the same service is receiving the ota but I could be wrong. Ask Zinx.

As far as I was aware, you'd still get the notification and the update since the service is still checking. It will just fail when it tries to install. Perhaps I am wrong though.

Unless the TB is different than the DINC in that respect, that's not correct. On the DINC, if you're running the stock ROM, rooted or not, you'll still receive the OTA notifications. They won't install properly and/or brick the phone if you have S-OFF.
Hey guys. I just got my brand new galaxy s2 and I'm loving it. But as of right now the latest software update is 2.3.6. Now I'm on 2.3.4 and I checked for a software update and it says I'm on the latest software.

My understanding is that AT&T is rolling it out to in waves. Eventually you'll see the update. They just can't, and don't want to, put it out to every [email protected] at the same time.
From what I've read, if you're planning to root your phone, it's much easier and better supported to do it from an earlier version.

AT&T does this in case the update has a problem that missed their QA process.
I'm fairly certain they are rolling out the update fairly slowly - there were even rumors that it might have been pulled for a while. People getting the OTA have had a LOT of complaints.

The reason you see so many 2.3.6 based ROMs in development is because a few developers took a gamble - they guessed that the UCKK6 leak might be a final release that could go official, and they were right. We had access to a full UCKK6 2-3 weeks before anyone received an OTA.
Note that many of those ROMs are appearing to have a few issues:
1) Weird wifi compatibility issues not present in UCKH7
2) Bluetooth HID is broken - no mouse/keyboard pairing

Thanks bro. I appreciate that. Now I'm about to root using either super one click or the zedomax way and I just wanted to confirm this with you. When the Att update comes I just use your guide to flash your kernel that comes with stock recovery right? Then I'm done right and I can just apply the ota update regularly right? Thanks again

If you root using either Super One Click, or Doomlords version of the zergrush exploit, you will still retain the stock kernel and be able to get the update without additional changes. If you update while rooted, you will retain root on UCKK6.
I'm not sure, but if you use the zedomax kernel to root, you may lose device manager and therefore not be able to check for the update.

Am I supposed to take the battery out or something. It says do not turn off so I'm a bit confused.
You should not interrupt download mode during a flash, of course, because bad things will happen. However, if the flash is finished, or if you put the phone into download mode without starting a flash, just hold down the power button until the download screen goes away, and the boot screen appears. You can also just pull the battery.

Lol. Yeah. I didn't start a flash at all. I used pda net to get the drivers and upon connecting it didn't work. So thanks. I think I'll use the zedomax way and then flash entropy's daily driver through clockwork mod. I can do that right?
That should work fine.

I don't know what would be causing the problem. Some posters indicated that you need to have all the bloatware on the phone, as well as the stock kernel, but I don't know if that is true or not.
I know that when I tested it, I started out on UnNamed. I Used the Odin One-click downloader to put UCKH7 stock plus root, and then updated succesfully. The first time I did it, I forgot to do a data wipe, so after I pulled the files I was getting, I did a data wipe, installed the UCKH7 stock plus root and updated again. The update worked flawlessly on both occasions, retaining root.
So the only thing I can suggest is do a wipe data/factory reset in recovery, install the Return/Unbrick to stock UCKH7 plus root package, and then update. I would think that would clear anything out that would prevent the update.

Hi All,
I still haven't seen the OTA update notice. If I go in manually to "check new" it says its searching for a couple seconds then just closes. Then when I check the status, all I see is:

Code: 0

Description:
I have only ever temp rooted. I haven't unlocked the bootloader, and I have only removed bloat using CleanTool 2.1.1
I have tried re-enabling all the bloat, rebooted to lose temp root, and removed superuser. I verified that I can't su in a terminal anymore, so root is definitely gone. As i said above, I have added all the bloat back as there are no slightly greyed out applications under "manage applications".
I have now just tried a full factory reset, wiping internal, and SD memory and still nothing.
I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue, or have any other suggestions?
My phone is completely stock and I haven't seen the OTA. I have not done the "check for update" thing as I keep hearing reports that the update breaks more than it fixes.

You don't need to do that Mainver stuff unless you already have a problem flashing updates via the PH98IMG.zip method.

By the way, the new RUU is up on vigor collection that is the new OTA one, so you can now flash that if you run into trouble later on once your Mainver is updated. Yes, Con's stock rooted rom will give you the new radios and fixes.

Whether you do RUU or con's ROM you still have to relock and then unlock the phone. Well you don't have to unlock it again unless you want root and custom ROM.
Here's a post I just made for someone else in case it helps:
feralicious said:
You can relock and then run the RUU to get you there and then accept the OTA and it should work. Then just unlock again and flash Amon Ra, and then either run stock or restore a nand or flash a new ROM. If you go with an older ROM without the new kernel and you want to use the new kernel you might need to update that. You can do that by following this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467793
ATERNATIVE METHOD:
You can also use con247's Stock OTA ROM instead of running the RUU.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21880389
Here are the steps to take to accomplish that:
1) use Amon Ra to flash con's vigorStock OTA ROM. It will do its thing then reboot to hboot. I think it then asks you if you want to update. Don't do it yet.
2) At this point you want to relock. So go into fastboot on the phone. Using adb/fastboot type the following at the cmd prompt:
fastboot oem lock
3) Reboot phone and let it flash the PHzip file. It should reboot completely when it's finished.
4) delete the PHzip file using a file explorer app like ES File Explorer or Root Explorer.
5) get the phone back into fastboot. Unlock again using adb/fastboot. I don't remember the exact command but you can find that in the guide for unlocking.
6) reinstall su using Amon Ra.
Now you should be stock OTA rooted with the new goodies.
Check in Settings > About phone > Software info > More to see that you got all the new stuff.

Well I called tech support last night and they are sending me a "certified like new" refurb. I am kindof nervous that the new phone might have any number of the problems in the post created by jdmba. It seems that the update should have gone to everybody by now and since my phone would just close the "check new" window without reporting if there was or wasn't an update they instantly said they would send me a new phone to resolve the problem with no charge. So for anyone else that hasn't gotten the update that wants it you might want to call verizon. When it gets in on friday I will check all the known issues to see if the new one has a worse problem and if i just want to unlock the old phones bootloader to manually install the updates that I want in the future.

Same issue, same question.
I'm guessing that since we made modification to the system ie removed system apps or whatever, that's the cause of it not working? I looked around and I couldn't find the OTA in any system folder, so I now wonder if anyone has the OTA in a flashable .zip.

It didn't work because we don't have the stock recovery installed. You'd have to flash the stock recovery back before running the update for it to work. I don't see any stock recovery .md5's posted though so I'm not sure how you'd go back to it short of a full restore.

"The update contains a file that will reflash the stock recovery every single time you reboot your phone if the digital signature doesn't match" is probably whats creating the bootlooping. install the root friendly update thats being uploaded atm...
edit: are you using the new v4 recovery? might want to flash that in odin if your using the old one..
Anybody know what the update is for or fixes? I got the notification but I'm not installing it since I'm rooted LOL

Yes, I got the latest one from their blog.
Edit: I posted this in another thread, but was finally able to get into CWM by just leaving auto reboot checked when flashing recovery in odin, then just holding volume up and home after the phone vibrates. No need to hold the power button.
An this is done
Okay I am deployed over seas. I am bone stock mk2. I would like to take the update to play around with it but I have my phone in global mode using a different sim card. Every time I check for update it says update unavailable at this time. Thanks for any help.

You have to go to back to full stock mk2 to be able to update. If you want to keep root you can use the guide in the general section on how to keep root and update. The guide works for the leaked KitKat build we got, nc2, but I'm not sure if it works for the official nc5 update, you can check the thread for that.

Since you're not on the Verizon network, you won't be offered the update via OTA. I'd wait until someone grabs the NC5 update
Since you're factory stock, you could install the OTA by downloading it to your internal SD card as an update.zip and booting into stock recovery to install it.
Note that you can't "play around" with it. You'll have NC5, no root, and very likely no way to go back.

I had an idea not being on the network may be the reason behind it. I will give going through the stock recovery a shot. Also, I am very sad to say this is my first phone I have not messed around with.

The update comes from VZ over their network. If you're not on their network, the update servers aren't reachable.
Oh - another thing you can try is to use Kies to check for updates. I don't think that VZ has made the update available there yet, so have patience.

Thanks for the help! I will check out Kies too. I have nothing but time on my hands so patience comes easy.
