Hm, this is interesting.
I called both Verizon Customer Service AND Tech Support and both said that nothing has changed for OTA updates for ANY 3G phone, and nothing will change anytime soon. That means that ALL 3G phones on their network will keep getting OTA updates. The only phones that won't get OTA updates will be their 4G phones.

Oh, so you are another one of these people who think they are above the rules. Thanks for aggravating us regulars, and creating more work for the mods.
Edit- I see that the mods have already responded to the reported posts, and have moved this to the appropriate section. Thanks, guys. Keep up the good work.
Im sorry that i was trying to look out for the community, as I stated before the update did come through and the tech at verizon didn't know what he was talking about. It's douchebags like you sir that keep people from going out of their way to help the community. I'm sorry to cause so much trouble to you and your receeding hair line. Next time do the world a huge favor and just look past it.

And it users like you that cry wolf without giving it a few days to just see if Verizon or Samsung was having issues with the OTA system.
And yes I mean a few days, people have become why too reliant on instant gratification.
Remember electronics are man made devices so they imperfect, but if they were made by a woman they would be perfect.

Boo hoo, you have insulted me, and called me names. Whatever shall I do? But hey, thanks for showing your true character to the community and mods. I'm sure you've impressed everyone with your level of maturity.
Right now I am downloading an OTA after Odining DI01. Were you in a Corporate store or at an Indirect Agent? Seems peculiar that you would get that information, but I for one am glad you shared it. I was pretty sure I'd be ok(given the Gigs worth of downloads on my PC...).
Anyone who works for Big Red know anything about this possibility?
I've been getting Server Unavailable for over a week now. Actually, ever since the GB leak. I haven't been able to get back to EB04. Never had a problem before.
Anyone wonder if the ota system might be impacted by the 4g rollout? Even their system is only so big. I know I can track my own 3g issues to the same time as the 4g rollout in my state.

Could be? We won't have 4g where I live for another 1.5 to 2 years so that perhaps is why I'm not being affected like other areas are.

On December15 the official froyo is getting released through OTA. If I update my phone which is rooted and has oclf lag fix will it soft brick and is there a way to update without getting soft bricked? How?

Research shows the update folder for root seems to be the culprit for ota brick. I suggest unroot your phone and install the ota. I've done it twice with no issues so far.

Ouch... There are plenty of people here who run stock roms. I would assume he rooted for benefits like tethering, metamorph and many others like the lagfix. IMO It was a viable question worth answering.
OTA is fine for rooted phones. The lag fix probably will be an issue.
I always wait for a developer to take the ota, enable root and make it a flashable zip.much better than ota in my opinion.
Not sure how you think you know the release date... You need to qualify that.

Don't break the first rule of S-OFF and rooting....
*** NEVER take an ota.
True.. I've done that before when I first started learning. It happens, but don't worry dude!! There will be a fix for that one day.. for now though, if that OTA messed up your S-OFF Root. Maybe you can find a way to fix it if you have the will power to learn
This sounds like a very noob question but here goes anyway, I am not taking the OTA update because I don't want to risk losing s-off and root. How do I clear the update notification in my notification bar. I don't want my kids to do the update on me when they play with my phone. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Gotcha.. Heres the process:
Hit Menu>Settings>System Updates>HTC software update>Uncheck Scheduled Check.
You can click on the OTA in your task bar and just click cancel. Its not going to automatically download. I just did that on my 3D evo so I assure it will work.
Just click on the Update and a popup box appears, just hit cancel and poof its gone until the next schedule update.
Thank you

Profile is your data/call/account information from Sprint. Updating this can sometimes fix errors with data/call/account stuff, or sprint might have you do it for whatever reason. No harm can come of it.
PRL is preferred roaming location, and basically updates your phone's knowledge of towers. Not vital to update, but can be done whenever just to be up to date. Also cannot cause harm.
HTC software is, well, HTC's software on your device. This can be in the form of apps or whatever other proprietary crap HTC has on your phone. This can cause some problems, and sometimes anti-dev updates can be hidden. Just wait for news if you see one of these updates.
Firmware update is something like going from android 2.3.2>2.3.4. Major android updates or device-specific changes will come through here. Don't do these updates; wait for their rooted counterparts.
Hope I helped.
Thanks. I had a brain fart on the firmware haha. For some reason I was thinking it may be called firmware but was using the wrong vocabulary or something lol. The others were fuzzy but my assumptions were spot on (yay).
Thanks again for the info!

I get this firmware confused with something that we talk about in Robotics all of the time. Don't worry about it
Haha thanks for answering that as I had the exact same question. I posted in the general Q&A forum with no response, I am new not only to rooting but this site too, so I didn't know the QA forums are also phone specific. Anyhow thanks RMACEVO427 for answering the system update icon question! Now, if you know, I am running the viper ROM and I was wondering if I would be losing any advantage of this or any future OTA updates by being rooted, or do the dev's keep patching up their ROMs to keep with/ahead of the game?

Good devs always incorporate anything good/useful from the OTA's in a timely manner. There is NO disadvantage to being rooted, except that you can't rent movies and books in the market.
What if I'm totally stock (S-on, unrooted) but I plan to get s-off and root in the future. I know people have warned that it might close the loophole to get s-off but what are the chances that devs will also have a workaround for the new firmware later on down the road?

Seems to be a fix for even that here. Although I still prefer Netflix =p
My goal was not to make anyone mad or to proclaim I had a fix. I simply wanted an answer to my question. I am sorry to those I obviously offended by asking such a question. Though I could have asked Yay before I posted I honestly didnt think this thread was going to go where it did. I dont know what happened to cause my phone to shw 4g coverage (or lack there of according to yay) but I wanted to get someone elses impression of my account and see if had been something I done. Like I said many times now my apologies. I dont come on here to troll or misguide anyone. I am a firm believer in helping out when I can which is what my initial comment was trying to do, but I was just simply called a liar (though I can understand skeptisism) I dont want to waste anymore time defending my character. If YAY or any other dev wants to talk you have my contact information. I will be trying the dsixda kitchen to see if we can build a rom with that kitchen since the atrix can, hopefully I can redeem myself so to speak...lol.. have a blessed day people.

I knew that I wasn't unlocked. This is my second photon. The other was unlocked. I was thinking the source of the 4g problem was flashing the modified bootloader. Could it possibly be in Rom Racer's Recovery that is breaking the wimax keys? Has to be that or the oem unlock. Any ideas?
This was already one of the original ideas and I believe it was found out not to be it. There is a lot to be learned on the unlock bootloader thread.
For those asking for a video I will not be posting one as I don't have the luxury to take time to make a video to prove my phone has 4g. I simply stated what I did while unlocking and asked if others did the same. I don't need any credibility given from anyone as I have been helping people for quite some time now on here.
The reality of it is I have 4g after unlocking my device but I don't know how. It was a simple question to see if anyone else experienced it ..... if not then we know that, that was not the reasoning behind it! But I will post screen shots when I get back to a area with 4g...

Well i dont see the point in your post other than trolling the video is so we can verify that you are indeed in unlock status and have 4g. You could have unlocked your phone flashed rom nandroided relocked and recovered from bootstrap and think you still have 4g and unlock status but that wouldnt be the case. Its just to cover all bases, if you want to help others than that would be the first step then you could get with yay and figure it out.

Excuse me if I dont have the time to make YOU a video to satisfy your curiosity.
At the end of the day XDA is becoming more and more pathetic as members try to put others down simply because they dont get their way!

Agreed, the fact that you just want to"kinda" help everyone out is bothersome, in that making a video is in fact the only way it can be proven. Creditable or not, it really is the only way. Screenshots do nothing. You don't need a 1080p hd video explaining all the ends and outs. Just a quick 40 second jobber showing us unlock status and 4gees.

The reality of it is I have 4g after unlocking my device but I don't know how. It was a simple question to see if anyone else experienced it ..... if not then we know that, that was not the reasoning behind it! But I will post screen shots when I get back to a area with 4g...

Wow I am a troll because I dont feel the need to prove a point to you. I stated what I did as I unlocked my bootloader and asked a simple question. I am so sorry I dont feel the need to make YOU happy. I will go on about my day speaking with devs as I continue to learn how to build roms. Excuse me if I dont have the time to make YOU a video to satisfy your curiosity.
At the end of the day XDA is becoming more and more pathetic as members try to put others down simply because they dont get their way!
Back to the evo thread I go as I continue to work with devs. Maybe you could be a little productive and try to learn developing as well.

You aren't understanding anything, that's your first problem. It isn't him you are proving something too, its everyone on that forums, every single person here is wanting what you supposedly have. Being a prick about it only shows that you really don't have what you say you do, because anyone that did would be going crazy right now trying to find a camera that records, which almost all do nowadays. You are the one being selfish here. If you truly wanted to help the community, you would be doing anything you could.

I believe you and hope its not a misunderstanding. Call it wishful thinking, but i dont think you would have those thanks unless you were actually helping others and you deserve the benefit of doubt. Hopefully you're able to help Yay shed some light on this dilema.

There's no need to ask, it just creates cruft. When someone gets it, they'll post. And if people stop posting "Mom, are we there yet?" messages, everyone won't have to wade through pages of them to see it.

Dude? He was probably just asking because he wanted to flash back to stock or so he could download it. You do not have to post if you have an issue with him posting "Mom are we there yet."

You think an update like this would be available for OTA and no one would have said something though? If it's a matter of him wanting to flash back, then just wait until the forums explode with people posting about whatever problems they've run into, then flash and pull it.
I'm with him on this one, let's not flood the forums with "are we there yet" posts. If common courtesy keeps people from posting, that's not a bad thing.

Relax was just asking. Was just a question. People get so far from the point I threw up a thread for an answer. All done. Over it
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda app-developers app
Well let's just hope that we get the OTA tomorrow or sometime this week and that it's not another 3 to 6 months to see it pushed out.
If I have not missed anything..... Verizon still has not officially said anything about the update being released? We are all still just assuming that the support document that was found was meant to be posted close to the update time? What if the posting of the document was just another mistake in the long line of mistakes that is the Thunderbolt?
The PDF files are publicly posted to me that's an announcement. Should be only another week or so.

I believe it will have a new hboot. And I believe it will be noticeable, like on the newer phones, if its ever been rooted with an unlocked bootloader. (Showing locked, unlocked, and relocked)
But that's just my guess.

Si you've bricked two phones and made Verizon swap them out? I'd suggest you stay stock.

People screwing their phones up, by not reading thoroughly and asking questions if they dont understand before flashing ****, and then getting VZW to exchange them is why the rest of us who have real problems that aren't caused by our tinkering end up getting screwed.
If you brick your phone flashing, or just generally screwing around with it, man up and figure out a way to fix it or get a new phine without comitting fraud.

Actually, if you do something to your phone that causes it to stop working and submit a warranty replacement request, it is fraud. There is a very, very slim chance to anything to your phone that bricks it if you leave it stock, and the only time you run that risk is during an OTA update really. To do it TWICE says the OP was doing something they didn't understand and caused a problem themselves. It's exactly the reason VZW and other carriers are locking bootloaders and making it harder to get them unlocked, because people keep damaging them themselves and submitting a warranty return.
Dude you work for verizon? If thats the case then the millions of people that bricked their phones are what u described in the post???? Get real man. we are with you not against you so stop seriously.

First off check the tude. Imnuts and many others are the reason we have root and abilities to do things on our phones. Show a little respect, please.
And really if someone tries to root it, it is a violation of the agreement one agrees. It voids the warranty and TOS agreement. So it is fraud to return it for that reason. And finally if one tries it once and bricks mistakes happen, But twice, one should evaluate if they should be tinkering with the phones this way.
With that said I have the 4.1.2 bone stock Note 2. Check my signature for the link I just used Casual and it rooted and unlocked in 4 mins.
I respect everyone here to the fullest.But please dont act like your the hack police, you were a newb once too and Uh he was the one cursing in his post. Obviously the kids a newb and a jacktard.Cut him some slack or just get him booted if thats the case.All the sudden everyones a law abiding hacker??? Please stop being a hippocrate.

No one is being a hypocrite. I have never bricked my phone because I busted my ass reading and asking questions if I couldn't find any answers to my questions when I was a newb. I have always recieved help when I needed it and even when I didnt, the problem is this kid has bricked 2 phones by doing **** he clearly doesnt understand instead of asking questions first.
He is the reason we are all getting screwed with replacement phones and prices, and yes it is insurance fraud. The contract covers certain things but bootloader unlocking and bricking is not one, you can root and you'll still be covered but there is very little you can do to kill a phone with just root.
I do like that youre trying to defend your point but there is no need for name calling in this, if you want to have a discussion have one without calling people hypocrites or acting rude in your follow up. Also there is a very fine line between newb and fraudster which the OP crossed.
Also if you have been here long I dont know how you jave missed all the threads about people committing fraud just like this kid, thats why the majority of the community have such short patience, or in some cases tempers, with the fraudsters.

Its this type of mentality thats ruinining these forums!! The bottom line is that it is fraud...I bet both devices were fixable, these devices are hard to fully brick....its like iphone users gone wild around here. folks need to learn to read!
