OTA firmware update (UK)

I've been getting a notification about a security update on my magic. It claims to have already downloaded it (4.6mb), and is asking to install and reboot.
Does anyone know any details about the update? Version numbers, etc? What it changes?

Forgot to mention my current versions:
baseband - 62.50s.20.17u_2.22.19.26I
Kernel - 2.6.27-00392-g8312baf [email protected] #72
Build - crb17

I never received such notification. When I go to System Update, it says that my phone is already up to date. It got exactly the same version as yours.

Me neither - all versions the same. :-o

all Magics with CRB17 software will soon receive an over the air
(OTA) software update approximately 4.5 MB in size
This is a security patch, and nothing to worry about it, everyone with the affected software should get it in the next week.

I'm more worried about it blocking any future hacked firmwares being installed - eg the new rooted firmware 6.0

Upgrade in Vodafone ES network
I have just updated the firmware of my magic. It had CRB17. After the upgrade the new software versions are:
CRB43
62.50S.20.17U_2.22.19.26I
2.6.27-00393-g6607056
bye

i have received today the same notification in my htc (vodafone spain). But, what about the root??

@IsAhT sorry but I did not have it rooted before the update, so I cannot tell you the effects of this upgrade over a rooted terminal.

got the same thing right now...i just updated it..

i guess .......... if it is just a update to the firmware system should not effect the rooting.

How does the update process work? I'm on a rooted Vodafone UK Magic, but using the Orange mobile network. I've installed Haykuro's SPL, and About phone -> System updates says it's up to date, but the build is CRB17.
Maybe I should give his 6.0r1 ROM a try...

well i am on voda uk and i am not getting any updating because im using the 6.0 sapphire rom were the system update is disable obviously.
that you are on orange and still running CRB17 should be able to get the update. i think they roll the update gradually like TMOBILE done with the G1 to upgrade to cupcake 1.5,they started with 10% then 20% and so on of the G1 population till they hit 100%.

so after the rooting process installing haykuro's SPL, whats the 'best' rom to choose and where can i get it?.
im on CRB17 as well after trying to get root, which i dont think worked. Is there pre-rooted rom floating about?
im on vodafone UK magic as well

Really bad signal -100db - any fixes?

So I just updated to 2.1.1 Fresh Rom and the latest radio. I'm at about -100db. Yesterday after I installed the latest radio and flashed the SprintUpdate2.zip rom, I had about -80db, that's quite a difference. I haven't been able to get back up to a better signal no matter what I do.
Software versions:
Firmware 2.1-fresh
Baseband 2.42.01.04.27
Kernal 2.6.29-bc0d2cff
software 2.27.651.5
PRI 1.68_003
PRL 60664
Any ideas on what I can do to improve my signal? I'm getting a lot of dropped calls. I've got my MSL and even went so far as to do a factory reset without success.
Thanks!

You should either go back to the radio version you had or try another one. Each radio version will have various results for different people depending on your location. Try some different versions from here until you find the one that works the best for you: http://geekfor.me/category/radio/

So I've tried all the different radios:
-88-102db 2.42.01.04.27
-89-96db 1.04.01.09.21
-96-100db 2.32.40.11.09 - Verizon
-84-98db 2.41.04.02.02 - Eris
-84-91db 2.41.05.02.03
-88-96db 2.42.00.03.10
Overall, there wasn't a substantial difference in any of them except maybe the Verizon one was the poorest.
How do I update the PRI in order to check that? After the PRI I suppose my next step would be to try different ROM versions to see if they have any affect.

[Q] Question - what is JI6 update vs 2.1 Update1?

This may be a stupid question, but what is the different between the JI6 update and the 2.1 update1?
I just got a replacement phone from T-Mob and it claims to have firmware version 2.1 update1 but the baseband version is JFD.
Or maybe I'm trying to understand what things are in baseband vs. what is in firmware. I assume one difference is that its easy to change the firmware, but that does not help me much.
Thanks

JI6 is latest and 2.1 update 1 is the old version
I really don't know if there was a pre release version 2.1 (without update 1)...
as far as i know, the very first vibrant came with 2.1 update 1 (or JFD), and that's what you have now.
You should get this updated to JI6...

There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers....
Eclair 2.1 update1 is the stock ROM that comes pre-installed on the Vibrant.
JFD is the launch version of that firmware.
The newest revision of the Eclair 2.1 update1 is JI6 which, I'm sure you've seen a thread or two about, attempts to fix many of the issues users were having with GPS/Sync/etc. If you realllllly wanted to simplify it, and I know this is completely wrong but follow me here, you have Eclair 2.1 update1(JFD). JI6 would essentially be Eclair 2.1 update1(JI6).
Since you've got a vanilla Vibrant, I'd suggest you charge up your phone and head over to the Kies Mini page to grab the JI6 update. Of course you could also wait for the OTA (over the air) update if you felt like it.

[Q] New Atrix - How to figure out method of updating?

I recently bought an AT&T Atrix 4G from a person. It is already updated to the latest software
-------------------Current State---------------------
Android Version: 2.3.4
System Version: 4.5.91.MB860.ATT.en.US
Baseband Version: N_01.77.30P
Build Number: 4.5.91
-----------------------------------------------------
I read at a few thread here that we should not update Atrix via the over the air (OTA) update. Now I am not sure how this particular phone was updates and I have no way to find out.
Any of you people have an idea?
I am not looking to install any fancy ROMs at the moment, may be in future.
All I want to do right now is fix the battery issues. Right now my battery percent never shows in increments of 1%. My battery only jumps in increments of 10%... that is 90%..80%...60%...etc.
In order for me to root the phone, I read that it is good to know the way the phone was updated to 2.3.4
Thanks all.

This looks like the official Gingerbread ROM from Motorola that you would get via OTA or their updater from the website. The battery only showing progress in 10% increments is a "feature" of that, so it's not broken per se.

I need to get root on this phone.
Is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138204 the advisable way to root a phone with OTA update?

Trying to roll Inc up to 2.3

Trying to update Incredible from 2.2 to 2.3. Build 3.26.605.1, baseband 2.15.00.07.28
I started to run the OTA update from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770091 but the baseband version is different. So where do I go from here?

Quick search found this.

Also your version numbers are off, 2.3 is 4.06.605.3 baseband 2.15.10.7.7

No, my version numbers aren't off. I currently have 2.2, those version numbers refer to my current build. I'm trying to GET 2.3

The base band is the radio version. The reason it's different is because it comes with the OTA to update it to .07.07.
EDIT: According to the post, "First off, ensure that you have the Stock 2.1 ROM with first OTA, it WILL NOT work otherwise.
software/Build version will read as the following: 1.22.605.2..."
Looks like you need to be at 2.1 to run that update.

Got it working. Rooted Froyo, then loaded the Liberation ROM. Extremely happy with it!!
Thank you for your input guys!
