installed via update.zip so yes I do have it but no I didn't "receive it" ota. So...do you want me to choose yes or no?

Well I would say choose "no," since the poll asks if you got the OTA update, you can nit pick at my wording, but you know what I meant.

question for you, how did you get the update.zip file. was this directly from t-mobiles site or something, or is this one of those root things.

thanks

It's the official ota update. It was pulled off of another slide that got the update before the update was actually applied to that phone. No root required no root included. it's the same ota that is sent out to everyone. When an update is sent out it saves to sd card as update.zip and the file erases itself after the update is applied but if you postpone the update you can pull the zip file off sd card and share with others that did not get it yet. You just boot into recovery and choose "apply update.zip"

oh wow! thanks for lettting us know. so what happens when you do a factory reset, do you need to reinstall this ota MR update that we all will be getting. also if they stop the update on the 19th, what do people do who purchased the phone on the 20th--- do they still get the update ota after the 19th.

final question, mind sharing your update.zip file with the rest of us. If no, where can we get it before t-mobile sends it to us ota.

thanks

factory reset erases user data and sets phone to mr ota version minus your apps and contacts and what not, so yes update included.

tmo can manually push update after 19th.

i reformatted the instructions from here:

* make sure you have at least 50% battery power left
1) download update file from here
2) copy the update.zip file you just downloaded to the root of your sd card
3) turn off your phone, then power onto fastboot mode by holding down the volume down button and then pressing power
4) once fastboot loads, (takes a few moments after menu initially appears) highlight "recovery mode" by pressing volume down and select it by pressing the power button
5) once in recovery basic mode, where you see the triangle with red exclamation, hold volume up and press power button to get menu to appear
6) press volume down to highlight "apply sdcard:update.zip" and press power to select
7) wait for the update to finish installing (about 3 minutes) and the menu to reappear. With "reboot system now" highlighted, press power button to select
8) your phone will reboot a few times and take longer than usual to boot (don't panic when it appears to be stuck at the "my" logo screen) before finishing at the lock screen about 4 minutes later.

Thanks! is this safe to do though. I mean, what if someone messed around with that update.zip file and posted it online for all of us to download a jacked up version?

BTW...the link to the download you posted doesn't work.

 

[behold_this]

i just posted the one i used and yes its safe, but as always use at own risk

 

[mwl1119]

update.zip

*EDIT* opps I see it was posted already. Sorry.

[HtcEvoLemon]

update.zip

*EDIT* opps I see it was posted already. Sorry.

oh i get it now, thanks guys, thought for a sec you two were the same person with the same link.

 

[behold_this]

The mr update is both links that say update.zip and both are mine. no we are not the same person. don't know why he re-posted my link, guess it was easier or something

mmm kay???????????????

 

[HtcEvoLemon]

its both links that say update.zip and both are mine! no we are not the same person. don't know why he posted link to my file guess it was easier or something

ya strange he knew your download link, odd, but anyways thanks for the links

 

[mwl1119]

No I originally had posted a megaupload link to the file but they require you wait 90 seconds to download. His link is easier.

what are you suggesting? if not my link it'd be someone elses there are a few out there. no bigs

 

[HtcEvoLemon]

what are you suggesting?

I'm not suggesting anything, I just said that was strange. I could care less how many screenames people have, thanks for the update. T-mobile should just post the file on their site, that way people can just download it.

 

[behold_this]

its all good man no worries

there is a copy on their forums in the android development sub-forum, and FYI only one screen name here, same one since 09

Here is the link to my file that I originally posted MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

I thought His link was easier so I edited my posting and copied it since you obviously didn't see his posting.

Then again if you had read other postings you would know that the update has been posted a few times. Here is another Nothing.zip - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download
