YAY MY STORY WAS POSTED TO ANDROID GUYS!!!
UPDATED: So I had to rush home after class and give everyone that definate answer that they long. This was in my email as I finally got a STRAIGHT answer from Google to the question
"Will the people that did the manual update to Froyo still receive the OTA, and did it void the warrenty? Can I get a straight Answer?"
Hi,
The answer is yes and no, respectively. When 2.2 (Froyo) is sent via OTA, everybody will get it, including those who have already manually updated to Froyo. No, your warranty is not voided by manually updating to Froyo. But we do recommend waiting for the OTA if you're still on 2.1 / Eclair.
Cheers,
Ben

Origonal Post:
I found some evidence that supports, all manual user will get the OTA, even if you updated manually.
Hi all,
Thanks for the responses!
Just wanted to give a heads up that the build floating around is not the official Froyo release. You will get an automatic notification when we OTA the build, no need to manually download it. You will still get the automatic notification if the official release is a newer version than the one you have, so don't sweat...but I'd highly recommend waiting for our official release
@Bhushan4181: You will get the OTA update as long as you are connected to the internet and can communicate with Google servers.
We are striving hard to OTA the build to you ASAP, thanks for your patience!

From what I am TOLD as long as your manual update came from GOOGLE than it is still a LEGIT and offical update, just not the final, therefor you HAVE NOT voided your warrenty, and will most likely get the OTA so don't panic
P.S Those who did the manual update(me included) I would not worry about trying to roll back to 2.1. They sent out a test build via ota to testers, and when the final build comes i'm sure EVERYONE will get the OTA as it will have a different signature and what-not. How else would they get the final build to the testers?
Beautiful. Only thing missing now is a release date :|
Good find, I think its a no brainer but confirmation is good for some folks that were worried.
yeah good to know....

Ya even I was a little tweaked. Not saying we wouldn't be able to just flash it anyhow even if you are NON root. But there was alot of mixed answers not only here but all over the net, and some people were freaking out

It appears, according to the quote ' We are striving hard to OTA the build to you ASAP, thanks for your patience!' that the build is complete and it may only be the OTA to be sorted.
I hope so anyway
"You will still get the automatic notification if the official release is a newer version than the one you have, so don't sweat"
Let's take a look at that again:
"You will still get the automatic notification if the official release is a newer version than the one you have, so don't sweat"
Just wanted to point that out
There is no question that there must be a newer version of froyo thats coming out. I say that because every forum I visit on this site (and other sites) have people complaining that this and that doesn't work (anymore).

I knew there would be at least one person that would point something out to try to kill the post cause they didn't find it first. Obviously it will be newer. The file that was MANUALLY downloaded was available to the media and what not, so what, they are never gonna get the final OTA. Its common sense. And like I siad even if by what slim chance you don't get the OTA, you will be able to push it manually.
Way to try to kill a post
BTW...

lol nice one ...
I dont find any good reason to give/update the press or the "preview phones" some unfinished or still bugged version of 2.2
For what ? so that they review it (Froyo) and write down all the bad or not working things ... it makes no sense , at least for me ...

what about those who installed the OTA manually and then installed the custom recovery image? will they still be able to get the new OTA?

I don't claim to know what happened, but I'm damn sure there is more to all of this.
I cannot believe the degree to which Google has fumbled this Froyo release. They let us all think we might get it at I/O and look where we are now.....another week later...all anyone has gotten is a broken version.
I said it before and I'll say it again: Mickey Mouse time in Mountain View
nice find!
did anyone read this?
maybe we don't have the offical release... yet...

Since I'm still semi new to Android, you miss out on OTA updates if you're rooted right? Does that also mean you miss out if your bootloader is unlocked?

Dude hes got a point. You posted something that had Nothing to do with the topic at hand. We all already knew the info you posted. Thats what the whole thread was about.
Hi All,
I bought my galaxy tab yesterday from Currys UK. I have been a very happy user of HTC Desire and now i thought to move to bigger screen.
Today, when I connected my phone using Samsung Kies, it informed that there are new firmware (*JJ7) available for tab. My tab currently has firmware *JJ3. I am currently installing the upgrade using Kies but its kindda slow.
Few questions --
1. Firmware upgrade - I think it is same as we say ROM upgrade in HTC phones. Right?
2. In Desire, I used to get OTA (Over the air) upgrade. Is this not the case in Samsung? Will I always get updates via PC? if yes then what a shame?
3. Not sure what benefit I am gonna get after firmware upgrade but its good to be on latest official version.
Thanks in advance.

With the unofficial JM6 ROM (see the other discussion thread in this forum), there is a "Software Update" service that runs in the background, presumably to check for the latest available version of vendor-provided features...or maybe it checks for the latest Samsung stuff...not sure.
Let us know how it goes with the official firmware update.

Hi,
After firmware upgrade, i dont see any major difference, in fact i just used my new galaxy tab for few hrs so probably i would not be able to make a judgement what's the difference.
But its working very well. If you have any specific question then i can try to answer that.
One thing, I am using Google talk on my tab, messages are not in proper sorted order as per date. It's been sorted as per person which means I am getting all the other side messages on the top.
Could you please help me to figure out how can i rectify it or Do I need to upgrade my Gtalk App. Unfortunatly I am not getting this app in Mrket place.
Regards,
JM
Can you do me a favour, open your browser and go to the UK's PeakFM web site and see if you can view the page, click on any of the boxed links and navigate correctly through the web site.
I am finding certain web sites such as this and others are not being displayed correctly, so if the update has cured that I would jump at upgrading.
Thanks.

Have you seen the size of the firmware packages for the tab? Many people won't be too keen on downloading around 300MB over their cell connection.
Having to plug it into the PC once every few months is not that much of a chore.

No-one has yet to find an official changelog for any of the versions of the firmware, Samsung is unlikely to release this information to the public.

No, all my apps are intact after applying the update.
I haven't seen the email app crash since the update (it used to crash reliably every 2nd time) and I haven't had the camera preview messed up either. Of course either of these might just be luck, but here's hoping.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
I just updated the firmware.
All the bugs that i know of is still there, the browser lag, the video player thumbnail generation lag, etc.
Don't know what has been fixed here, unless i can see a changelog and test it.
My phone version has been updated from J16 to JJ1.
PDA JJ1 to JK3.
EDIT: The Gallery Loading is faster...ie. it generates the thumbnails almost instantly now. I have around 5-8 folders with over 1 GB of images inside.

That may be the case but Kies is an absolute nightmare.
I also have an SGS and when I applied an upgrade for Froyo on a stock SGS with nothing altered Kies 'bricked' the phone.
Luckily I could still do the 3-Button Recovery so managed to wipe the phone clean and use Odin with the upgrade ROM from samfirmware.com
As such I am no fan of Kies and not looking forward to connecting my Tab to it.
Question to everyone else who has done the upgrade ~ has anyone experienced any difficulties with Kies and the Tab?
I just upgraded also and can't really spot any changes so far. The upgrade did preserve everything, although I had to re-root. Oddly Opera Mobile was crashing a lot also (it hardly ever did prior to the upgrade), but an uninstall and reinstall seems to have fixed that.

It worked ok for me, although what are Mac users supposed to do? Luckily I had a PC in the house I could use.
Hi,
Upgrade was quite slow. It took 30-45 mins.
My all apps and home screen customisations are intact. That's really good.

How come I don't get the update in kies? It says my device is already running the latest firmware. I'm on an unlocked and unbranded euro version of the tab.
edit: is it because I rooted it?

It's not because you've rooted anyway because I've done that and I got the update. Perhaps you really are already on the latest? My Tab is an unlocked one bought in the UK on the day of release and was running JJ3 originally.
It would appear the update is for JJ users as in JJ3 to JJ7.

On HTC phones, you are notified that an update is available for download, and then advised that it may be better to switch to WiFi before downloading.

Try telling that to someone who is running OS/X or Linux!
Yes, I know you can use a VM, but:
a) That *is* a chore!
b) You need to have a Windows license, which some people might not legally have.
EDIT: I see there is a Kies Mini now for OS/X users!
OTA is definitely the way to go IMHO.

Couldn't agree more with you Dave.... Kies is an absolute nightmare. Besides the insane method Samsung use, you connect and take a chance it does not brick your phone.

I'm using OSX at the moment and am fine with having to boot into my win7 partition or use my WinXP VM if need be.
In order to download a 300MB file OTA, i'd either need to change my data plan to one that costs me an extra $30/month, or pay 10c/mb for data beyond my current cap. Not everywhere has good cellular data plans, although Europe, North America and Asis, would encompass >95% of their target market, so I can't imagine they'd care too much.
Obviously they _should_ support OSX users as it's a reasonable sized market, although probably most OSX users would be more likely to get an iPad as they're already suckling at the teat of Jobs. It's simply a USB/COM gateway, basically just an adb redirect, so other than the UI it's not like it's complicated for them to implement as most of the framework already exists in the SDK.
Amazon has posted the source code for version 51.1.3.0_user_513011820 on their US source code page. So far, I've only heard of German Fire TVs receiving this update, so it's a bit odd for it to be posted on the US source code page but not on the German source code page.
I was thinking this version wouldn't get pushed to the US, but I may be wrong. My guess is it's an insignificant update from the previous version, 51.1.3.0_user_513011520, but it's always good to be aware of it and see if anyone gets it.

Yeah, they started pushing it around that time. But it wasn't a widespread deployment.
I've combed through the interface and all the menus and haven't found a single difference between 51.1.3.0_user_513011520 and this new version, 51.1.3.0_user_513011820. Seems like whatever this update brings is completely behind the scenes.
Received this update last night on my one that is not rooted. Didn't find any changes.
I'm running this version and my FTV isn't rooted, when I try to root, it TowelRoot says my phone isn't supported. Am I SOL for the time being?

If it's a german version there is no "most likely". The German units ship with 51.1.3.0. As for being unrootable... there might be another kernel exploit, there might be an android exploit. No one knows.

Version 51.1.3.0 added support for UK Amazon acounts so it is very unlikely that UK Fire TVs will arrive with a software version older than 51.1.3.0. In other words, it is very unlikely UK Fire TVs will be rootable at this time. Like rbox said, theres no way to know what the future will bring as far as new roots.

Thank you for the info, I guess I could simply hold on to it and see what the future holds especially since I got it at the disscount price of £49.
I got this version pushed OTA sucks because I had root and didn't know had to disable OTAs but on the other hand I noticed this update lets you enable install apps from unknown sources so can we still get play store if I push the necessary files to the fire and I can install through ES File explorer????
No, play store won't work correctly without xposed. Xposed needs root.

You gain S-OFF, which is different to unlocking the bootloader and is currently the only way to do so.
Will this work on an att model? I want to covet to a unlocked developer build.
If you install the app it will first check compatibility and see if it will work for you... Only after that will it prompt you to pay

Given that AT&T hasn't successfully released a single OTA, yes - it will work. It was one of the few devices that never lost S-off support. Also, I strongly suggest making the switch to the developer edition. I converted mine a few days after I got my phone (also AT&T) and I've never looked back. The only things I even halfway miss are visual voice mail (not much) and AT&T WIFI (not much)

Yes, 4.4.4 finally rolled out end of January for AT&T. LP is in certification, one rumor is rollout end of March.

Hey just wondering, can anyone link me to a guide where it shows how to get S-OFF on the HTC One M8 running ViperRom? I searched through the forums and most of them are saying use Firewater
I don't think you can s-off with viper. You need to be on stock & go to http://theroot.ninja/

No, s-off does not in itself disable subsidy lock.
There is however a separate mod for SIM unlock that requires s-off. But if your phone has been officially updated to Lollipop it seems this exploit has been patched by HTC and no longer works. If your phone is still on older firmware, the mod may still work:

Hope some XDAers are able to get it rooted before it gets patched.

This has already been patched and pushed out, BB was actually impressively quick to patch the issue and push out a new update. A few carriers in the US might not yet have signed off on the update, but the vast majority of reports from users say they've gotten this update. I know I have.
But, can we just load an older build using an auto-loader ?

On blackberry 10, when an update fixed security issues, they put the older versions in a blacklist, so you couldn't downgrade with the autoloader

This is not BB10, this is Android, and yes, I can downgrade, I've tested it.
can root using this exploit?
A small group of devs wrote a script to get root using this exploit for a few Sony phones. Ive looked through there git and if i understand it correctly then the script should be modifiable to work for the priv but you first need to figure out the physical addresses in the memory for the kernel in order to make it work. I don't know awhole lot about this stuff so correct me if I'm wrong.
Seeing all those one click root apps i was thinking it was going to be easier to root the priv once an exploit was found

Could you link me to that post please ?
Boom, right here: https://github.com/dosomder/iovyroot
So does this mean one can downgrade and then root using iovyroot?

Theoretically, yes, you would need to add the absolute kernel addresses of the Priv to the source code, then compile it, but still, you would only get temp root, that's only good for using Titanium Backup and the like.
Ah okay, I understand.
So this root is only temp then? Still hoping something comes out but the community seems very small.
