To Force The Samsung Bug Fix Update Follow These Simple Instructions:
AS OF 3/13/2010 IT SEEMS THAT SAMSUNG OR TMO OR WHOEVER HAD JACKED UP THEIR BACK END SYSTEM HAS NOW STRAIGHTENED THAT OUT AND IT APPEARS THIS PROCEDURE IS NOW WORKING
*******************************
The Effectiveness of This Procedure Seems To Be In Question. There doesn't seem to be a downside to trying it, however most people report that either it doesn't work or that the update appears to happen and after reboot there is no change to their phone. For me personally this worked flawless the first time I tried it, however after having to ODIN, I am now unable to get the update to re-apply.
*******************************
Assumptions :- You are using the STOCK ROM. BH_MAN's Hybrid ROM will not work as Device Management is DISABLED. I can't speak to the GALAXY ROM so to be safe ODIN back to Stock.
- You're battery is above 50%
- You have a Solid Signal (3g seems to be required)
- You Are Using the TWLauncher home screen - You can not be using a different home screen.
Steps:- If you dont already have AnyCut, Download and install it from the Market Place
- Long Press an empty spot on your desktop
- Select Shortcut from the context menu
- Select AnyCut as the ShortcutType
- Select Activity from the AnyCut shortcut type
- Select Device Management from the list of Activities
- You can rename the short cut if you want to, but it's not necessary
- Click "OK" - the short cut should be created on your desktop
- Click the short cut to launch Device Manager
- Select Start DM
- You should immediately see a pair of red and blue arrows in the top left corner of the screen - these are in a different location than the usual "Getting Information" arrows that appear more towards the middle of the top of the screem
- After a minute or so you should be prompted to install the update.
- If the arrows disappear and you are not notified of an update proceed with step 14
- While still in Device Management - hit Menu then select Software Update
- 1 Hour should be selected - hit "OK"
- You should now see a clock next to the arrow icons in the top left corner of the screen.
- Reboot the phone.
- After restarting open Device Management using the desktop shortcut.
- Select Start DM
- This should now initiate the update.
ENJOY!
