*Rezound ICS OTA is live Thread*

It is looking like some people are possibly getting the OTA update. One person even posted a pic.

ice cream update - Page 2 - Android Forums at AndroidCentral.com

It seems that the software version ends in a .12 instead of .10 like the leak. Does this now mean that phones with the leak will get the OTA?

that is correct. the official OTA ends in .12 instead of .10.

also correct,phone running .10 will not recieve the OTA.

a leak for .12 was not released to the public,since the differences are minor. i would still wait for an official ruu to appear in footballs filefactory folder FileFactory Folder View - Vigor before running one


Well, here is some potentially not so good news for people who installed the leak and are not S-OFF. Apparently, you will not get the OTA update. Well, at least not right away. Then again, if you installed the leak, you probably aren't too worried about the update.

That's okay with me, because I want to see the changelog first.

I really don't get what you are trying to say...

What I am saying is that a rep at Verizon said her rezound had an update that is seven megs and gets the device ready for ice cream sandwich. I am currently on the leak build .ten on line one and on stock gingerbread on line two. Both phones have not said an update is, available yet. I think the line one which has the leak may have to wait for an ruu.

Looks like the official update is going to come pretty soon. I guess we'll see over the next few days/weeks/months. Friggin' Verizon. No matter what happens, I still say this is all on them. I'm sure they had to change stuff to make their bloatware work or figure out how to release it without someone getting a hold of of the file to share. Seriously, I wish HTC could just build their own and send it out in a .zip file, bypassing Verizon entirely. Maybe once VZW decides to EOL the Rezound, we can crank this baby up to its full potential.

Has anyone here ever received a major OS update BEFORE the official rollout? If so, have you ever seen a booster file get pushed right beforehand? I'm glad I installed the .10 leak early now, because I almost don't trust this 7 MB file. It's like they're sending out scout programs to see who is "worthy" of testing it. That's probably not the case, but whatever.

If my complaint with the FTC does anything at all, maybe I'll find out what the heck their policies are. Doubt it.

Now that is finally being released, let's all please just drop the "me first" attitude and just be thankful it's getting the update at all. Since I installed the leak, I probably won't get the latest, official OTA until the very end. But you won't see me complain about it.

That being said, I would like to sideload 3.14.605.12, so if it becomes an option I'll go for it. Rest assured, I'll share any info I find.

Here is a little bit of serendipity for you:

Did you know...

... that today is National Ice Cream Sandwich Day? The ice cream sandwich is a frozen delight enjoyed the world over, though it goes by many different names. In Australia, it goes by the name Maxibons. In Scotland, it's known as Sliders. In Singapore, ice cream sandwiches are available in red bean, yam and honeydew flavors. And you can't go wrong with the classic vanilla ice cream between chocolate cookie bread!

Its in the thread "Leak Question" in the root subforum if your looking for it. He says the updater scripts look for VALID releases only. Which is way different from what I've experienced in the past where it only looked to see if you where on an older build?
I just want to know why if this .12 has been out there for 2 weeks no one has come up with a changelog? I want to know if I care or not whether I have the official :)

So android police claim to have had this "new build" for a couple weeks and never dropped it any any devs over @ xda or bamf?? What's up with that?

The update was very minor compared to an already leaked .10, and I didn't want to release every minor RUU that comes our way until it's either confirmed to be the OTA or a newer, more significant RUU comes. If we start releasing every tiny little increment, a man (and users) can go nuts. Too much choice is not always a good thing.

So now that it is the OTA can get an RUU?
