well you got the update should you not be able to just look at the app info on them
or not im not sure

no I need to know their .apk name, not there tagged name or whatever you call it. for example, Telenav is called tn55-android-Houdini-signed.apk
so in order to remove the apk telenav you would need to do the following...

$su
#
#rm /system/app/tn55-android-Houdini-signed.apk

Hello,

I'm not on the t-mobile network, so my phone is unable to reach fota.t-mobile.com, seems like i cannot even resolve it, can any of you guys that are on the t-mobile network check what fota.t-mobile.com resolves to? Maybe we'll be able to reach it outside of the t-mobile network if we have the ip?

The server certainly lies within t-moble's firewall, meaning its inaccessable from any connections not originating from inside the network. The domain probably resolves to multiple IPs for load distribution across regional servers.

For me fota.t-mobile.com resolves to 10.176.56.93.

If you are wanting the update while off network, I'm working on a flash image that can be used with the ODIN tool. The process needs to be tested first, though.
