I'm assuming that since we don't have root access yet we can't do this. Factory Data Reset doesn't erase the system software obviously as you would need to flash the software back onto it. The reason that I ask is I returned my first D.I. and on the second one I didn't install the update right away(4 days). Today I accidentally hit the install button. I had zero issues keeping 3G until the update. Today is the first time I've seen anything other than 3G on my notification bar. I'm tempted to buy another one just to test this. To those that haven't installed the update do you notice any signal issues that I've stated?
Some of us were talking about this in another forum. A number of us did notice the 1X start showing up after the update.

Hello this is my first post. Just wanted to say hi.
Well I have an unlocked G1 running on AT&T and I was wondering how are we suppose to get updates if they are OTA and I assume you would need t-mobile for that.
Is there a way to manually do it? Is there someway to download it directly to the phone from a source?
Thanks alot.
I sure wish I had that t-mobile SIM that I had. I assume it wont work if it is canceled right?
I have a feeling people who have them unlocked are going to get screwed and have security holes up the wazzoo...
i have talked to tmobile multiple times about this. no one seems to know the answer. I have a t-mobile sim card in my phone right now just to see if it will update. the card is the one that came with the phone, show it shows the t-mobile service, it just will not let me call or anything. I am hoping that it will update this way then I can put my att card back in. I will probably leave the t-mobile in every night while I sleep and the phone charges just to see if it will actually work. I will keep you guys posted as to if it works or not.
I have yet to get my OTA update and I am on T-mobile. I was going to unlock my phone, and I have a question. Does your G1 work ok with data on AT&T market and all? plz let me know I have someone that is tempted to buy one at full retail and just take mine after I have it unlocked.
Thanks
it would seem to me that legally, they have to provide the patch at some point due to the GPL... it also must be provided free of charge..
when they offer it is a different story, but legally, anyone who has it, who share it (if they knew where it was cached) with no legal issues
Only Google doesn't use the GPL.
But yes, that's true. The source for everything that's free-and-open (we know there are parts of the OS that aren't) should be made available. Whether or not (and/or when) they offer the update as a binary is anybody's guess, like most things with the G1/Android.
maybe the evil FSF will get involved!?

The info is also posted on this forum/site under the development area... sorry I don't have a link handy.

did we ever find out if OTA updates get pushed to G1's on other carriers automatically?
The will be pushed to all G1's on a data connection. I repeat ALL G1's on a DATA connection.
I am on AT&T and just got the OTA update yesterday morning. I found this instruction on the internet (could have been sticky from this site) on how to get OTA update the original way.
I download Anycut from app store, create a shortcut for Device info, scroll all the way down and click on download button. Your G1 will call home and it'll appears that nothing else is happening on the screen.
I did this around 9pm Sunday morning, leave my wifi on, phone plugged in for charging and when I woke up my G1 greeted me with new firmware update screen (RC30).
Few issues that I found:
Home and call button are not responding (nothing happen when pressed) and I had to do a system restore to fix it. G1 security screen stop working even after turning security on and off - system restore fixed this. The Built in IM stop working when trying to connect via AT&T Edge, it complain that IM program can't read my phone number off SIM card - WIFI + IM client works without any problems.

Noting that those are are all symptoms of a Setup Wizard call that ended badly somehow.
The guy who discovered this first:
http://inportb.com/2008/11/28/disabling-the-screen-lock-on-android/
I discovered it accidentally, by playing with Any Cut a little bit too much. Heh.
Ah... I see my experience with Setup Wizard funkiness is not an isolated case. At any rate, I did not have to perform a factory reset, as re-running Setup Wizard resolved the issue.
Okay so I see reports spattered about the forum and I think we should gather them in one place.
I rooted my phone, flashed the new radio back to it, and then started experiencing a data lock - where my data would work for around 30 seconds and then stop - the only way to fix it was to make a phone call and get back off (which would earn me another 30 seconds or so) or airplane mode or a reboot. This happened with every ROM I tried.
I have a Revision 2 EVO, BTW.
So I flashed back to stock, did the OTA update... all was fine and dandy. Did the full root again today and now I have the same issue all over again.
I should note that I did not have this issue until doing the NAND and recovery flashes... basic rooting did not break my phone.
I do not have 4G in my area to comment on that but 3G is definitely breaking each time and I am wondering why.
Edit: Sorry I just realized I posted this in the wrong section. Sorry about that.
Hello guys, =)
I currently have my SGS4 (GT-i9505) since release and haven't upgraded firmware since then (I was rooted). Everything worked fine until I noticed that when 4G became available in my area I didn't receive it. Then after a few google hits, it said I had to update so 4G would become active. Did that and flashed I9505XXUDMH8.
Everything went fine for one thing however. Immediately upon reboot my launcher (apex launcher) would force close. Then a message would show up telling me it has been forced closed due to suspicious behavior. Now, this wouldn't be much of a problem if it was just the launcher, but it happens to every damn app.
Anything that can get root access or can adjust system settings gets shut down right from the start. I've tried reflashing the firmware, resetting factory settings and I've searched a couple of hours on the web but I couldn't find anything helpful. It seems to be triggered by a new Samsung security feature (or perhaps even KNOX).
Is there any trick to get rid of this? Because I REALLY do not want Samsung telling me what I can and can not do with my phone. Otherwise I would get an iPhone. I really need to bypass this filthy mechanic one way or another (without removing 4G support) so that I can use backups without a problem.
Thanks in advance!
Shuji.
Hello all, my family all just got new phones. Both my mom and dad got the S4. I activated my dad's phone with no problems and everything is running great. It did not get the OTA update so it is still on 4.2.2. My mom's phone on the other hand has some issues. Right after activating and running initial stuff, I got the OTA update message, and decided to update that phone. it downloaded, rebooted, installed, and rebooted again. It seemed everything went fine.
Upon further setting up her phone, I noticed that there would be a notification about Sprint ID downloading a "Default ID" pack, and it trying to install it. But it would fail every time. Any changes to the internet connection (going from 3g to wifi or vice versa) would trigger Sprint ID to start up over again and download and fail to install. This kind of gets annoying after a while. Since my mom's phone is not rooted, I can not freeze or uninstall the Sprint ID apk. Force closing it does not help, because it starts up again when changing internet. I spent a good 30 minutes with the Sprint Chat online with no help. Even factory resetting does not fix the problem. Sprint could not help, and forwarded me to a Samsung chat person online. After 20 minutes with that person, they said that they went through all troubleshooting steps and could not help and asked me to call their hotline (which is open on Monday).
The odd thing is, according to Sprint's website, Sprint ID isn't supported on the S4, and my dad's S4 with 4.2.2 does not have it. could the 4.3 update have accidentally added Sprint ID? Is there any way to remove Sprint ID without root? Or root with 4.3, and somehow flash back to stock 4.2.2 without messing with knox? I can try going to the Sprint store tomorrow and see if they can do anything, but I would rather try alternatives first.
on the phone that's already taken the 4.3 update you cannot go back to stock 4.2.
You can however root. Then install titanium and freeze the 'sprint installer' and sprint id applications.
Just wait 'till tomorrow do not take any risks because it's your mother's phone and she wont need root. Service will flash a rom to it hope it will fix it. Have a good day

Yes, take it to Sprint and have them fix it. You did nothing wrong so it shouldn't be upu problem.

So I went to the Sprint store today, to see if I can get my mom's phone fixed. According to the technician, there is nothing they can do until Sprint pushes an update to fix this problem. The technician tried fixing a previous customers phone with the same problem, and came to this conclusion. He even said switching out the phone wont help because eventually the 4.3 update will push to that one and might glitch like this phone. I guess I will hold back on updating my dad's phone when he gets his OTA.
I have temporarily fixed the notification by turning off notifications for Sprint ID, so it wont keep on popping up, but I do not know if it will try to download in the background or not.
I heard Sprint was going to push an update to fix the Knox notification showing up when switching to wifi on the S4 and Note 3, and hope they might attach a fix to this in the update.

I just received a replacement phone that is having the same issue, and it's on 4.2.2 - has not received ota update notice. In addition, the CF Root Procedure which seems to work for most everyone is not rooting my phone.
My S10+ will not detect the day one OTA update. I check every day and it says software up to date even thought its still on G975USQU1ASAT. AT&T says to contact Samsung and Samsung says to contact AT&T. Anyone else had this problem or have any idea how to fix it? I've already tried factory reset, clearing cache and data on the updater apps with no luck.
Do you need to be connected to WiFi or have a certain battery level? Try charging to 100% and connecting to WiFi then manually search for the update.
What I had to do is go into the date and time and shut off auto time update and manually set it 2 days a head then mine found the update.

Two options:
1) Borrow someone else's sim or ask At&t for another
2) Download the S10+ OTA and update via SD
Did you put the sim that came with it in? I used my old sim and had the same problem till I changed the sim card.
Sorry for the late response and thanks for the suggestions. Just returned from vacation so I will try the suggestions. Also yes I used the sim they sent me. I suspect something got messed up in the sim provisioning as I came in as a new line then ported my number in. I will try putting my wife's sim in and report back. Thanks again!
Mine wouldn't detect an update. I'm only using mine on wifi as this one is just a spare phone for now.
To get the update though I needed to put in my att dim and put the date a week in the future. That's the only way I was able to actually get it to check the server.
I'm having the same exact problem. I purchased my S10+ directly from Samsung, but it was the AT&T model. I've been stuck on the ASAT baseband with the Feb 1 Security patch since day 1. I've been on the phone/chat with AT&T for the last 3 days. Each time they've promised that they have pushed the update to my phone, and every time I check, I get the "Software is up to date" message. I just tried setting the date to next week, restarted, and checked for the update..still nothing.
The same thing happened to me with my Note 8, but I was able to get around it using ODIN. I've told AT&T that I'm not paying my bill until this is resolved (like that's gonna do anything). Anyway, I'm at the breaking point on this, and not getting anywhere fast.
