Help The MR2(leaked) update question?

I just was about to DL this and do a manual update. I went to settings, software update, and check for updates, and it was available. I never got any notification by Verizon to do it. I would check first before downloading. Mine is currently "downloading firmware" on my phone.

Are you installing the one that is causing the reboot problem to many people?

Hold the power and volume down button together until the bootloader screen comes up, about 5 or 10 seconds..

I do that and nothing happens. When I let up off of them it just boots up normally.

I finally figured it out. I had fast boot checked. As soon as I unchecked it, it worked.
This version is a whole lot better. Besides not rebooting, it seems a lot faster on my
TB.

Make sure the screen turns off when you power down the device. i notice when the screen shuts off, the phone is technically still on since the backlight is on.

or pull the battery and replace, and replace battery cover.
then do power+vol down.
it took me a couple tries for some reason AFTER i rooted the phone. so just keep trying. should say HBOOT and then something about searching for PG05IMG, followed by some error messages (totally normal)

I've always download the files straight to my phone. Then i use astro file finder to find the file. Once you do that you just move it from the download sub file to the main root of the SD card. Don't forget to rename it or it wont work. Power down your phone then power it on by the power button and volume down button at the same time. The rest is easy.
