Yep...you're explaination was way wrong then. This statement led many to believe you need to format the SD card. Because I have NEVER had to format my SD card. Therefore, your statement was written very poorly.
Ok - one more time for the slow kid in the back of the class...
IF. Your phone is not taking the upgrade. THEN. You need to format the card and reload the upgrade file.
Is that a little clearer for you? Here - I'll even go one further...
IF. Your upgrade went fine. THEN you don't need to do anything because you
obviously loaded the file correctly the first time.
Better?
Right before my clarification, another member "got" it:
No, if you are using the original SD card that came with the phone, it is already formatted correctly. A different (old phone, new card, etc.) SD card may not have been formatted correctly. That seems to be the reason some people have had to reformat for the install to work.
Perhaps the problem is less my wording and more your lack of critical thinking? It's nto really all that complicated... Why on earth would you have to reformat your SD card to get your phone to take an upgrade that it had already installed?
Wow. Yeah, I'm the confused one here, I can see that clearly.
It's only for those of us that swapped in a different card or formatted it in another device that may be having the problem. Again, NKT is correct. When doing a complete re-install of your OS (be it a computer or mobile OS) you are
always better off using clean, freshly formatted media and drives to avoid possible conflicts. Welcome to computing 101. Thanks for paying attention.
I swear more than half this board has no business messing with unauthorized ROMs. This is why leaks are hard to come by. The theorists who think this was an intentional "beta test" leak by HTC or VZW are really funny. Trust me, they HATE stuff like this getting into the wild because folks that have no business flashing ROMs and OS's (especially not fully tested and approved versions) are much more likely to send a half dozen forums and fan-sites into a tizzy (and thru them, online media outlets that report on this stuff) because you can't even get it to LOAD on your device, much less work correctly. You end up bricking phones and the update gets a bad rep before it even rolls out. If it's less than the gold code release, chances are it still has some bugs, which will get blown all out of proportion (and usually fixed before it hits RTM status). This is why anyone in the know doesn't really talk about it or give you "leaks" - it's a PR and marketing nightmare for the QA crew trying to test and get the updates thru approval and compliance. Care to imagine how many calls VZW support is going to get today due to attempted home-grades messing up warrantied phones? (they will of course do something to break it and then get it "replaced" under warranty - at a significant cost to the company) You think this is in any way
good for HTC or VZW? Now that really is funny. The only thing that's "good" for them is a solid, officially approved release that they are prepared to support. Anything else is a disaster for them.
