Sprint Jellybean Update - Rollout Begins 10/25!

KOLIO · Oct 25, 2012

Anyone going to try to force the upgrade using the GOOGLE SERVICES FRAMEWORK trick?

Evo 5oh · Oct 25, 2012

Ok, supposedly the rollout starts today... I want to see who got it to see if this is a random update or is by coast. Take a pic and or videos I want to see how it looks too...

I cant even sleep because Im hoping to be the first one...(unlikely)

is this what your speaking of ( i borrowed from another post)??

1)Go to ‘Settings’ > ‘Application Manager’ and select the ‘All’ tab
2)Scroll down to ‘Google Service Framework’ and first ‘Clear data’
3)Then, ‘Force Stop’ the application (order is important)
4)Go back then From ‘Settings’ scroll down to the bottom to ‘System Update’
5)Select it and then select ‘Update Firmware’
6)Jelly Bean update then starts - If it doesn't start then repeat steps 1 to 5. It will eventually update so just bear with it.

i did the for my son's nexus s and it worked on the 2nd try ... is there any danger in trying this with the S3?

Theres never any danger in it

Engadget also posted an article confirming the roll out for Sprint

Tried this about 6-7 times and nothing. Also on Sprint and other local Sprint employee's have confirmed.

I don't believe you'll get it anytime soon.

Rxpert83 · Oct 25, 2012

The update rolls out over like 6 weeks. You'll be waiting for some time

Dang, Lucky Sprint users, I'm stuck on AT&T, who knows if we will see it anytime soon.

I thought this only worked on unbranded phones.

it worked when i tried it previously with the nexus s 4g (sprint). who knows - maybe it was just a coincidence. i've googled it though and many report it has worked. no luck for me today though

There's the difference. Nexus OTA updates come from Google not Sprint.

got it- thanks for the clarification

bupolo · Oct 25, 2012

Bueller? Bueller?

Rxpert83 · Oct 25, 2012

That's not quite true. If you've followed Verizon and sprints nexus devices lately you'll know they just recently got jellybean. Sprint and Verizon held the update back even though the other nexus brands had theirs months earlier

pgus13 · Oct 25, 2012

I am on Sprint and checked before I saw this post and said "I am up to date"!

Johnny Cakes · Oct 25, 2012

When you get the OTA notice that you are getting the JB update, please post the date and state you are in. This will help us assess the spread of JB.

PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS THREAD FOR ANYTHING ELSE!

The only thing a reply should have is: (1) date; and (2) state

2. updates are sent randomly based on S/N not by region

lexluthor · Oct 25, 2012

I don't think I've ever seen an OTA rolled out by customer location. Please correct me of I'm wrong, but I think that information is rather meaningless.

Rxpert83 · Oct 25, 2012

Its never by customer location. I'm not sure where everyone is getting this from

Rxpert83 · Oct 25, 2012

The update rolls out by serial number not by location

mak916 · Oct 25, 2012

Haven't heard of anyone on Sprint getting it yet.

candi3188 · Oct 25, 2012

I didn't get the update yet and probably won't for a while. I didn't buy my phone till August. But I did get LTE in the Chicago burbs this week.

eddieras · Oct 26, 2012

was just heading to bed and i saw the message- i'm getting update now! chicago area
