OTA update is live (for real this time)

TCM · May 12, 2011

It wasn't pushed to my phone, but I hit check for new software, and it found an update right away, downloading as we speak, 35.xxMB.

TCM · May 12, 2011

picture proof, non-rooted TB by the way.

mdeblaz · May 12, 2011

no picture proof needed.. I'm downloading it now too. I switched to 4G LTE to check it

rabernet · May 12, 2011

I'm downloading now as well.

chavo60 · May 12, 2011

Me too!.. and rooted

Filosophic1 · May 12, 2011

South Louisiana here...did a manual check for software update and there it was...downloading now as we speak.

Rodrir · May 12, 2011

Central Florida here, already downloaded. Took about 10 minutes

dguy · May 12, 2011

Check for updates pulled it down here too.

DanDroid · May 12, 2011

Cleveland Ohio area, downloading now..

chavo60 · May 12, 2011

The update downloaded... the phone rebooted and now it is just stuck on a screen with a render of phone with red triangle and exclamation point. There are no options to do anything. Pressing the buttons has no effect. Holding in the power button does not turn the phone off. I am completely stuck

I pulled the battery and the phone booted fine but got a message stating that the update failed..... think the root is affecting the update?

i got the update and loaded it. interestingly enough, my coworker tried to check for new software, and right after clicking check new, the dialog box came and went...

told him to check later in case the servers are getting flooded...

Possibly. Did you delete any preinstalled apps that you couldn't normally delete? When you do an official OTA you generally want your phone to be stock ish.(Non rooted, everything that is normally unchangeable should be the way it was when you got the phone)

Same here...

Updated my rooted TB but lost root. Can wait to root again later, the GPS and 4G/3G fix are worth it.

Arsonman · May 12, 2011

So what changes, ie:software number, build number?

Did you unroot before you updated?

Looks like the update is for. Links below.

Kinda weird (IMO) that they focused on the 3g network when dealing with the connectivity and not 4g network.

Can any one say what fixes were made. Also is it worth losing root for, and please report battery life

I don't thiink it would be worth losing root for. There is a backup assistance icon in the app drawer now. Also where I get shotty 4G before I would have no data at all now I've got steady 3G with random spruts of 4G. Won't know anything about battery until later
