From HTC support-
On Friday, Engadget posted an article telling users how to download and install an unofficial version of software that was found on one of our R&D servers. We pulled server offline within an hour or so of finding out about the issue, with the wrong software (anything other than 1.47.x.x) FOTA updates won’t work for you. Most likely you are on version 3.26.651.3, which is the version that got leaked. If you do have this software , Sprint has requested that we send you to a Sprint service center. There they will be rolled back to software 1.47.x.x. and FOTA will work from there. With the software versions other than 1.47.x.x to go to a Sprint Service Center. The Service Center has special tools that will allow them to help you.
Tools?!?
I have been to 2 Sprint service centers; 1 didn't know what I was talking about and the other attempted to rollback but it failed...as expected right??
I have contacted HTC about this and have yet to hear anything back...
Has anyone heard something similar?
Edit: misread...sorry

I wonder what there response will be.
So they can role it back but we can't. has to be a way. even if we did a full install of 1.47. I am sure someone around here can find a way to help us. I hate dealing with my sprint store.
Just took mine in. Guy said he received an email from HTC the other day and it would take about an hour to roll it back. Ill ask him what he used when i pick it up. That is if it worked!
I am going to head to a sprint store later today to do this, and find out if root will work afterwards.
Also can we get a link to this post?
I bet a lot of people here would be interested in the method they are using to "roll back".

I also bet there is a Sprint Store employee on XDA that could shed some light on this.
I was at a sprint service center yesterday and they just ordered me a new evo which will be in in a few days. Never mentioned they could roll back the software. In fact he didn't even say anything to me about having superuser on my phone. With me being an android newbie I didn't know ihad to remove it before applying the ota update so now its stuck on it since I can't root now.

I have not seen anything publicly that states this, however, I am only relaying what was sent to me from HTC support.
I hope they are right since I have no issues with my phone and would hate to replace it over something "simple"...
GTK
Called Sprint who referred me to a service center who had no idea what I'm talking about. Maybe the only way out of this is to root and load a froyo ROM?
I don't get it - what did the leaked update break that can't be fixed by updating to the root-safe OTA release?
I agree, I'd wait for an XDA developer Sprint won't know nothing.

People that were not rooted and updated to the leaked ota can't update to the final build because the ota expects to patch up a 1.47 rom on the phone. Obviously it can't do that if the rom on the phone is not 1.47

Just like your computer, your phone's software needs to be updated periodically to make sure you have all the latest fixes and enhancements to keep it running at optimal performance. Follow the steps below to check your current version and perform any needed updates.
Version History
Current Version: 3.26.651.3
from the sprint website so i doubt they can update to.6
I am sure HTC will post something on their twitter account. They have already stated they are working on a fix. I think the OP was told to take it to a repair center because they may still be working on a software fix or OTA fix for this.
So the JI6 update is starting to roll out today, finally! My question is I rooted my phone and applied the one click lag fix. Should I uninstall this and take my phone back to stock before the update? Is it possible the lag fix could cause problems when the update installs?
Thanks!

Same question here....
this has been asked several times in many ways. The most common answer is do not have a rom nor the lag fix installed. Just rooted is fine no kernel change there. I Am sure more ppl will pipe in
Just to be safe uninstall it

The update is staggered until the end of the month.
so if we have a ROM like Bionix 1.5 which already fixed the GPS is there any reason to accept this update?

yes there is, i just got off the phone with android support, the update is supposed to have 40 + bug fixes, not specifically named but they are there, the battery accuracy is now fixed, media hub is activated officially, not a leaked version, the gps is fixed, the compass is fixed, contacts sync is fixed, calendar alarms are fixed to work properly now, no word on a widget though, a new 10th anniversary sims game is included, different from the one we had at launch apparently. there are other things too, but i forgot some of them, but overall, a solid update if i do say so myself.
Will Kies Upate phones still get the OTA update.
So i have seen the question but not the answer, I did the Kies update I think it is called JI5, will I still get the OTA update?
If not anyone have a link to instructions on how to rollback the kies update.

OTA Updates are rolled out in batches, not all at once. It generally takes weeks for an OTA to get to everyone.
You can either patiently wait for it, check daily manually, or just Odin JI6 as it's already here in the dev forum.
If you're not on JFD stock, then you've already become accustomed to taking matters into your own hands. Why stop now?
I have the same question. I am on JI2, but I want to know if I will get the update.

it is my opinion that as long as you are running the stock kernel then you should be able to load the JI6 update when it is pushed OTA. I have nothing to prove this other than my own logic. So until someone running JI5 can tell us they got notified and updated then we will have to wait and see.

OTA's are staged out in batches, not all at once. T-Mobile has sold about a million of these phones at this point (given that Samsung claims 3 million SGS Phones sold in the U.S. this is entirely likely). They are most definitely NOT going to update a million phones at the same time.
The update for YOU could come now, tomorrow, next week, or before the end of the month. Sitting here in a thread hitting refresh hoping for vital info about the OTA is a complete waste of time.
You have four options...
1). Wait for the OTA, which will arrive whenever it arrives
2). Frankin Twiz, built on JI6
3). Bionix 1.6, built on JI6
4). leaked unmodified JI6 firmware
Options 2,3,4 will get you JI6 today, with the associated risks of taking the management of the update into your hands. Option 1 is the official option which requires nothing but patience. Decide.
Wonder if I could call T-mobile and naively ask about a GPS problem and see if they will go ahead and push JI6 to me?
Nope nothing in WA I sure hope I won't have to wait til the end of the month....

Ha! You think customer care or tech care have that much power? The people in tmo who do, ssg data, don't take any calls and if they want to, never actually have to talk to the customer at all. They work solely on trouble tickets and work orders. The highest you may get by calling tech is atsg, the people who submit trouble tickets to them.

Did you have lagfix installed? That could be the problem.
On another note, why are so many people waiting patiently for the OTA? Just flash one of the leaks. Bionix 1.6 is well worth it! And you can always ODIN back to stock!

It looks like it bricked my GF's phone also, now im sitting here trying to wipe it. Hers is all stock except it is rooted, no ROMs or lag fixes etc.
I got off the phone with tech support at T Mobile a few hours ago and here is what they related to me. Your inability to get checkin succeeded may or may not be usual or normal, they have no clue and the OTA is scheduled to run from 10-7 thru 10-31. has anyone else or does anyone else have the same inability to get feedback from the checkin code? This is the only phone I have had that the checkin failed to register except for a MT3g which they promptly replaced.

I don't get it why Verizon doesn't release 2.2. Samsung has the update for other phones/carriers, just not for Verizon. I just got my Continuum a week ago and a friend picked up the Droid2, and he has 2.2.
Is there a list of changes from 2.1 to 2.2 that I can look at?
I picked up a desktop and car cradle for my phone and both have a sticker saying "The 3.5mm audio out port will be fully functional when 2.2 is released to Galaxy S phones".
What the heck is that about?

Actually, The Vibrant was the first Galaxy S phone to taste Froyo... and that started yesterday.
So i recieved a notifaction today that my samsung epic was eligable for the gingerbread 2.3 update. Knowing not to get my hopes up, I followed the instructions to update, but my phone kept telling me my current andriod version was up to date.
I called sprint technical support which was the biggest waste of two hours of my life. They ended up screwing up my phone, which I had to manually get working again.
I finally called my local sprint store to see what was going on, and he told me that spring PULLED the samsung epic 2.3 update because many clients were reporting problems with their phones. He told me it would become available again in the next 3-4 weeks. I have no idea how he would know this information, but im leaning towards speculation. 3-4 weeks is 6-8 months in sprint langunage. He said his is working completely fine, and he would be fine with me to come down and he will manually put it on my phone for me, but warned if my phone bricked, it would be stuck that way (aka i would have to use odin to send it back to stock).
I manually put the E122 version on my phone and so far have ZERO problems. Is anyone else aware of sprint jumping the gun on this one and pulling this update?
I've had the Epic since day 1.
They have pulled EVERY-SINGLE-UPDATE in the history of Epic updates.
It's almost laughable. I can't wait to get a sprint phone that sprint and samsung dont mess with (nexus prime, etc)
I have the correct version right? EI22 is the latest and greatest?
What happens if sprint releases a newer update, will I have to manually remove this one and go back to froyo eco5, or will my phone update ok?
can you point me in the direction of the way you updated this with zero problems? thanks

Im not sure if your being sarcastic, but I will point you anyways.
Before anything, make sure you have FROYO ECO5 Installed, and nothing else.
1.)go to ww.gottabemobile.com/2011/11/09/samsung-epic-4g-gingerbread-update-rolling-out-can-be-manually-installed
2.)rename the zip file they have for you download to update (NOT UPDATE.ZIP, just UPDATE)
3.)put the file on your SD card
4.)start phone in boot mode
5.)update.zip will appear on the boot screen, select it.
your phone will update automatically.
Since it was an official release, EI22 should upgrade to the "GB fixed" version for the Epic, even if OTA is stopped. A quick google search doesn't confirm that the update was stopped. Not saying you're wrong, but could be misinformed.

I agree. I mean it made sense and all, considering i was unable to update via OTA and my phone said my andriod version was currently up to date.
I guess only a certain percentage of users are getting it at the moment? I dont know, I have it now and thats all that matters.
Only complaint I have is their new system they use to kill aps. I loved the fact I didnt need advanced APP killer with my epic, but this new interface is really confusing me.

My wife's stock epic had the same update notification and the same everything is up to date. So I talked to a friend who works at a sprint store and he explained the whole market queue thing for the update (unnecessarily I might add).
He then called support and talked to one of his buddies there who told him that they are getting slammed with calls about this and that they can't do a thing about it if the person isn't up in the queue.
Hell of a way to push an update.
go figure sprints always tryin to screw everyone they can. good thing we have devs and root to make them acutally work faster and better!
+1 to everyone who knows anything bout andriod
Sprint stated it would be completed over 8 days to ensure it goes smoothly. which means the 17th is the last day. Also it is not listed as suspended on their site. EB13 was immediately listed as suspended when they pulled it.
Sprint zone just sent me an update stating that gingerbread was available. I don't think they've pulled it. But hey its sprint so who the he'll knows! They'll probably wait until they push it to everyone and then pull it ;-)

Yeah, that "your update is ready" message from Sprint is automated and isn't related to your spot in the queue. The same thing happend to me (I got the message days before the OTA was pushed to me) when Froyo got released. I can't tell you how many days before, I waited a day and a half and just did it manually.
yeah, that notification has no bearing on when you get the update. i got notified on my phone about the update hours after i already did the manual upgrade.
