1.6 ota update........


You just had to mess up this thread, didn't you?

I'll tell you why, because it gives people something to do. Maybe everyone else getting the update and your not, you would want to know what is up.

But this thread was suppose to be for people once they get their update.

Not for people that just want to pee on all the threads like you.

Have some respect!

I won't even comment.

Forum beefs are not my style.

Ok but why not wait for the update to happen THEN post a new thread?

This might be buried on page 7 by the time the update comes.

Because the first people to get it might not think of posting that they got it. If they see this thread, they'll be more likely to post.

And that's ALL I'm posting here. Unless my Droid Incredible gets "updated" to 1.6 w/TWiz I'm not getting this OTA, so I have no business posting here.

It's probably safe to assume that the BH2 owners left on here probably don't know how to turn it into an ODIN image for the rest of us to leech right?

Well that is why we have a all things root section and a post that covers it. The question however is will this update prove the other guy right in that he was saying 2.1 or will we get to laugh at his thought of samsung actually releasing 2.1?

No, my question is whether or not someone on here knows how to turn the new, official 1.6 update into a file that we can use with Odin. I'm not looking for a rooted version. I'm looking for a way to update manually without having to wait on TMobile.

Probably not fast enough for it to matter. By the time its turned into an image for odin most people should have the update.

You say that but some people only got a partial update (i.e. Failed update that flagged that phone as getting it) and some never got the update even after a month!

(I was one such person)
I had to rely on the kindness of other forum members here to get the last update.

Something else you should add when you get the update is perhaps what city and state you are in so that if some one in the same city does not get it they can call Tmo and say WTF. Just my opinion.

And no I have not got it yet but there are some rules in order to get it. I'll start a thread so every one knows them. brb

I live in Renton, WA. I have a data connection, not the android plan, with APN using internet2.voicestream.com for internet connection. I didn't get the OTA update though I noticed attempted "Device Manager" connection with two diagnonal arrows shown in the left upper corner of the notification area briefly. I changed the APN to epc.tmobile.com and switch off/on the phone again. This time, the "Device Manager connecting" indicator remained on for about 20 minutes and showing 3G activities too. The screen suddenly pop up a message congratulating me for getting update software and asked me to continue. After clicking continue, the updating process began and took another 20-30 minutes to complete with a reboot. Checking the "about phone" messages, it indicated OS version 1.6. All these happened after 7:30am PST.

is the update any different from the 1.6 bh2 stock with twiz that bh_man got

Baseband version is different
T939UVJE2

Kernel Version:
2.6.29

What Bh_man got was a leaked copy of an older build of this. Bugs like the one dealing with the automatic brightness have been fixed.
