I will be making Odin packages for the Samsung 1.6 OTA update, but I will need the help of 1 or 2 community members with the update already installed. See my post for more info: http://androidforums.com/samsung-be...able-latest-t-mobile-stock-2.html#post1000875

try a master reset

it asks for a password. is there a default password for that?

nevermind...i got it. hopefully it works

I was one of those whose update the last time failed. I waited a week for T-Mobile to fix it, and to their credit they tried, but still didn't work. If not for ODIN, looks like my phone would be left behind.

I wonder . . . if someone roots this, in theory could I pull the dialer off this official 1.6 and replace it on Take5 so I don't have those force closes/freezes all the time?

 

[dreahdreah]

for those who never got the orginal ota update a couple months ago..tmob wouldnt exchange your phone?

 

[nguyenmd]

are they gonna extend the dates out for the update? per announcement, it's end today! thanks.

That's what I would like to know, i still didn't get it. Look's like we're just going to have to rely on those that actually received it.

 

[nguyenmd]

I've seen similar stories on Tmobile's forums. This may be the reason they're not rollin this out quick...or at all anymore?

Just received the update about a half hour ago; had to charge phone to start (just as with the first update); waiting for phone to power back up.

Okay, phone now powered up. I'm not a techhie, but here's the "About Phone" reading:

Firmware version
1.6

Baseband version
T939UVJE2

Kernel version
2.6.29
root@sep-56 #1
Tue May 4 19:02:25 KST 2010

Build number
76XXCSCBALUM63**

Only differences I see right away is a camcorder app that I don't believe I had earlier, and an alert in my notification bar that states "low on space - phone storage space is getting low." If I click on it, it takes me to manage applications. Again, since I'm not a tech person, I don't know what's new or not. Hopefully, one of you guys can use the info above.

Open Maps or Marketplace.... You'll start seeing the difference ;->

Reboot

Or take out battery (and put back in of course) and reboot.

 

[Streetman]

I'm not having problems. I don't have the update.

btw, should I have my sd card in? does it matter?

 

[psz]

Shouldn't make a difference.

Well I kind of forced the update yesterday using some of the tips from this thread and some intuition. What i did was, plug the phone into the charger, powered the phone off, removed the battery, put it back on, turned the phone on and the arrows came up. I was on Edge NOT 3g the whole time. The device management (arrows) stayed on for about 10 minutes then turned off. Nothing happened after that. So i went into my Device Management shortcut created with the Anycut app & clicked on the Menu button then pressed the software update button, it will prompt you to chose a time frame like between 1 hour to 3 hours etc, but i just clicked that return button. Then I got the prompt that an update was available and that the phone would restart in 5 seconds. When it did restart this time, I got a % bar at the bottom. The install took about 10 mins. One thing to note was that I did lose complete service and kept getting a Not registered to the Network message for about 30 mins, but it then picked the network back up. Just noting that because it seemed to have happened to someone else one here after they got the update as well. Maybe this will help some of you.

P.S...Leave your task killer OFF or remove it completely.

This may be a silly question, but how do I find the device manager everyone keeps referencing? I don't see it anywhere except the application management section under SETTINGS, but I can't do anything except clear the data on it. I can't open it or anything...

I feel like I'm missing something. Or I'm just missing something completely obvious..

 

[Seiken]

Download Any Cut from the Market then when in the app click New Shortcut, then click Activity, then Device Management. you will then have a shortcut to the Device Manager on you home screen.

You need to download the anycut app.

You are my hero! This definitely got things going, I mean at least I know what the arrows look like now. Everything worked just as you said except after my phone rebooted the arrows came back for two seconds and disappeared. I'll keep trying until something works. Thanks a bunch!

I'm in the middle of this now. It said I have an update, and it's restarting! Drumroll...
