According to http://www.droid-life.com/2010/07/1...feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+DroidLife+(droid+life) there will be an update to Eris phones. One thing I wonder about is they are calling this mandatory.
What happens if you don't install this? I know Verizon tracks who installs patches and I don't want to take chances losing root.
yeah I'm running EvilEris3.0 on my wife's Eris. I'm actually wanting to go back to the stock 2.1 cause shes not happy with how her phone is acting.....wondering if this will put it back to stock or HOW do I flash it back to the stock ROM?
any help with this would be thankful.
Ok lets not, panic. You need to read the entire thing, and point out that if you have MR3 then MR4 is mandatory but if you only have MR2 then it is only recommended meaning if your current rom has OTA working and you have MR 2 you will be able to ignore the update. If you have MR3 (MR being maintenance release) the update will be eventually be installed for you if you don't do it voluntarily. and you cannot get a replacement for any problems that this is suppose to address if you do not install it
Hey this shouldn't be a big deal. This same update was sent out sometime at the end of last month and those who were rooted were able to root back instantly. Even the 1.49 people. (Assuming you have luck with ADB recovery)
So it will just temporarily remove root?

Pretty much from what I've seen.
And all we have to do is reflash recovery like we did the first time? That's not so hard.

Put her on Ivan's Eris_Official.
No strange/unpredictable behavior. Ever.
I'll just wait for someone to run diffs on it vs the leak4rombase version and see what we can get from it.
Okay with this new root method and all I'm curious as to know if this MR4 is going to stop us from rooting this method. The old method wasn't stopped, but obviously not everyone can do that method.

Actually, i could never get app web views to work on ivans because it uses the leak. I have since install xtra and plainjain with no issues (on metro pcs)

I keep getting prompted to install it, but I'm reluctant to do it since I have root! Damn!

You are able to re-root after running it using the new root method that came out last week.
I didn't notice any real improvement...soon after had a silent call V_V

Does anyone know when this update will begin in the U.S.?
Knowing samsung and tmobile I'll say 3 to 4 months. Let's hope I'm wrong. Since the update just started rolling in europe yesterday for public testing

It shouldn't take them long to just port the rom eh?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yeah I was thinking they could just port it over? Like they did 2.2 roms
the leak was already ported... just as this will be. i wouldn't expect gps, but hopefully we can get an actual recovery...
So when it is official could we just Odin back to stock and upgrade legitimately through kies?

No one will know until Samsung or T-Mobile says so.
As a guess, given how the Froyo rollout went, I'd guess that we're in for several months of waiting for this officially.
pretty sure i'm getting gingerbread via kies mini as we speak. ill let you know

Lets not start a steady stream of these threads AGAIN (Froyo).
OP, if you want GB, Try CM7. Otherwise... patiently wait till you see something in the development section.
The i9000 JVK ginger along with the KB1 Vibrant modem running very smooth here with no issues yet. I mod my own rom

Lol, CM7 is a joke on the Vibrant. CyanogenMod is always a step ahead of the drivers available for Samsung devices, so it will *never* work properly on a Samsung. By the time they have what they need to make it work, they're already pushing out a new "no wifi no gps no nothing useful" version. Nothing against CyanogenMod, but... Try CM7 (or any version) is never much of an answer on the Vibrant and recommending it to anyone is pointless.
That said...
Every time anyone posts a thread asking when, T-Mobile kills a kitten, Baby Jesus cries, and another week will go by before the update.

you obviously haven't tried cm7. it is hands down, by far, the best gb for the vibrant. pretty much the ONLY problem is gps doesn't work.

From the thread on CM7 for the Vibrant:
Known bugs:
You can't get into recovery/download without the 3 buttons combo. (You can't from inside the ROM, so do NOT flash if you can't use the 3 button combo.)
Problems switching between 2G and 3G when data is connected. (You may get un-reliable data.)
Compass. (works not at 100%)
Video playback may be choppy with some formats.
GPS is broken.
May have many other bugs that are unlisted.
Polling problem on RIL (Works after you lock and unlock your phone.)
USB Tethering is currently broken
Battery life has significantly improved with latest unofficial nightly (3/31) and the latest Additional kernel. See below. However, it is still not as good as stock.

Tonight I got a notification on my phone that a system update is available. My phone is rooted but still running stock. Will allowing the system update to go through cause me to be un-rooted again, or can I proceed with the update as I normally would?
I do not really want to have to fuss with this tonight but the update icon is getting on my nerves.
Wait for a stock rooted rom or you will lose root!!!

Not what I was hoping to hear but I knew it was probably the answer.
At this point I just have to get over the dumb update icon showing up. Blah.
OH SNAP!
Oh crap--better grab my snacks and a drink *gets his mountain dew and pretzels*. 3-2-1 Here comes the flaming;;;;;;;;; QUESTIONS IN THE DEV AREA?!
Should ask for a mod to move this to Q&A before the trolls come and set fire to this..but yea wait for a rooted update. Probably just CIQ stuff anyways

Hi guys,
yesterday i watched a movie before going to bed, so after i finished watching i saw a little triangle with an exclamation mark in the notification area.
I thought yeah i deal with that tomorrow, put my prime on the charger and went to bed. Now i clicked on it but nothing happened. If i go to check for new updates in the settings he tells me nothing available.
Happened to anyone else? Bug in the matrix? Or is this an indication that the next update is coming soon?
Yeah, got mines pushed last Friday. Didnt update yet, waiting to see if it breaks root.

Use Voodoo Root Keeper from the market. Was able to restore my root with one click when I got the .15 update. Didn't check for an update today yet.

Update: performance seems better however the ANR problem in browser seems to be there but much less than before.
Face unlock works flawless for me and also the new lock system bar feature.
Will continue testing

Make sure to back up your root with voodoo. If you don't, you will end up like me, Rootless..lol
New firmware has no root method and you can no longer downgrade. You've been warned!
