Can't receive GB update. Help!! - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For whatever reason, I'm not getting the update. I going to settings -> software update -> check new and absolutely nothing. I've never rooted my phone neither and its currently running stock froyo. Any suggestions?
Forgot to say I've tried rebooting and checking for the update MULTIPLE times

I would assume you have to wait for the Push to your phone.

Well with the update a couple of months ago I was able to go in through settings and receive it from there. This is kind of frustrating!

Verizon or HTC (dont remember which) around the beginning of the month said the Droid Inc and the Tbolt will be getting GB OTAs by the end of September.

In a vague twitter post? I'm less than impressed with what passes for a reliable source these days. Some, including myself, would laugh at an internet rumor mill as the source of any information. No matter who authored it.

Actually, the VM notification bug has already been fixed as long as you have S-OFF thanks to rootzwiki. Let's see how long it takes them to integrate that fix, assuming they go that route. In other words, if you are using the rooted MR3 OTA then you are good to go. The fix also works on other GB roms as well and I believe Bamf already includes it.

Eh, I didn't really word that right. I just meant that is where people are getting that info. It most likely was a Twitter post or something, but probably from the VZW support account. (which still doesn't hold much weight) In any case I fully agree that putting your faith in internet rumors is not the best plan.

Within the next couple days we should get an update, primarily for the green tint a lot of us have ffrom the camera.
If you don't get it within a few days I'd check out the HTC site for it.

Lol dude I know. But it tweaks some other minor issued too. Idk what they include though.
But don't get me wrong, this phone is my favorite by far. And I've had the epic, OG EVO, and the shift. And this kills all those. Dead.

I know it might be too late for this OTA, but I wonder if it closes the exploit to obtain temp root.
Just wondering How and where did you happen to get this info from?
Yeah where's your source.
I still wont touch any updates, im not loosing any chances for full root and unlocked. Ill deal with it, im sure it'll be baked into a custom ROM when theyr'e available.

CarrierIQ WAS detected on my Rezound

Using the market app Voodoo Simple CarrierIQ detector, I got a final detection score of 100, which suspects that CarrierIQ is installed and running.
I have several entries under 'Linux kernel dmesg log' that look similar to:
<6>[110449.651075] [SDAL_32]: 1 <SDIO_CIQ > t=0, r=0, tt=0, rt=0
(the first two sets of numbers in brackets change, the rest are the same)
Anyone have thoughts on this?
[Edit: added screen shots]
I've got nothing using that same app. That's weird.

For those of you not finding it did you happen to root and freeze "HTC Report Agent"? Was wondering what this app did. I froze it so I can't check what permissions that app has.

CarrierIQ was associated with HTC. HTC puts a lot of its own apps on phone, they might have added this one too.

And just to be clear...I wasn't questioning any of ur guys knowledge...I question what vzw does/vs what they say....
They don't use CIQ according to them...but is CIQ only company of this kind? Not trying to perpetuate fear but I just don't feel in the clear....especially when on my x2 I have database for user stats and have seen scripting regarding communications with moto servers regarding user stats....
im gonna go looking for these files/lines again....

Says them -- I don't necessarily trust everything some PR spokesperson says. Remember CarrierIQ saying they don't have the capability of recording keystrokes or texts/e-mails, too?
i did the new lookout one in the market today too; again, it said i had nothing..weird. try that one?

Well, I'm stock and I've had the issue of mobile data not working. Oh, and let's not forget the terrible awake times that drain the battery. It seems unfair that these forums would only be for those who unlock their bootloaders and install custom roms. Maybe you're right though and maybe I'll just go elsewhere if I need help.
Why call AT&T for regards to an update anyway. You will have much better luck calling the manufacture. Sometimes you can get them to throw the carrier under the bus. Sometimes they say the update has already been submitted to the carrier for testing. Of course they could be lying. My point is, you won't get a right answer for AT&T but you may get a plausible answer from LG.

if you are getting it from online or any other way through the mail it will most likely have the pos ota that cant be rooted yet (i'm in the same boat and while the stock rom is pretty good the verizon and htc bloatware is annoying to say the least)
Most of the bloatware can be disabled on stock although it's not removing it you can prevent it from being seen and running in your phone.

Quick question:
What happens to those of us who have a SIM unlocked One with a custom ROM (CleanROM)? Will we still get the firmware update in some way, for example will be able to just flash it or something? The option in the settings menu "AT&T Software Update isn't there for me anymore.

As soon as an update hits someone will release a stock rooted version. No need to worry about ota releases ever again.
