I just rooted and rommed my MT3G to Cyanogen 6, and it works great, but I have a notice to update to 1.6. Isn't my phone at 2.1? Should I update?

You received a notice on your phone to update to 1.6?
I wouldn't. Although eventually you probably won't have a choice because if you keep putting it off it'll install itself.
This is the first that I've heard of. Especially since all devices already have 1.6 installed. By any chance did you do anything at all to modify the build.prop file?

Not all exactly true, ive never noticed updates come through to my phone but as you said all devices have 1.6, only after 3-5 months of the device coming out, i got mine from vodafone a couple of weeks after it coming out, it came with 1.5. But now running CM6.0.0-DS-RC2, although its only an experimental release it is very stable.
I used to get them back in the JF days.
So I don't see why you can't still get the OTA updates today.
Just because you never noticed doesn't mean it can't happen.

No official date has been released to the public. Any reply concerning this stating otherwise is unreliable and should be considered theoretical. To justify this please understand that there have already been several rumored release dates that have already come and gone. Most recent of those were "By the end of April."
If you're so tired of 1.6 you could always consider rooting your device and installing an Eclair rom. Cyanogen is currently testing his CM-5.0.7 release on MyTouch/G1 devices. For being experimental, I must say that it seems pretty solid.
Well I work for myself and have no ties with google t-mobile and htc (other than I use thier products) and I can say for sure that it will be released on May 1st 1956 pick up sticks. No lies this will be the release day.
There you go tell your friends just don't go telling anyone where you got the info.
Never. If you want to update your phone you have to do it yourself. So set aside like 8 hours of your life come here and read up on the Devlopment fourm on how to do it. It's definitely worth investing the time into rooting your phone.
I really wish people would quit asking this. Unless somebody finds a MAJOR Security hole in the original stock firmware this phone will never get an OTA update.

TMobile disagrees with you. They have 2.1 OTA updates planned this spring for all phones.
so what..even if t-mobile does OTA this device it's still be a Stock rom. It's still not going to be able to do what it can really do by him actually taking time out of his life to put 2.1 on there today. So why have him wait for T-Mobile to get around to pushing out a lesser lower quality OTA versus him just putting the latest Custom Rom on it like Cyanogen's right now?
Morrolan how about you do a bit of research before you speak. T-mobile said the by the end of April, not Spring.

Whenever they release an official ROM, most 2.1 ROMs will be rebuilt. They'll actually have a fully functional ROM that was actually MEANT to run with the Dream/Magic.

Funny how it's May and the updates are not out to the phones. The latest press release said "spring," not "April." You might want to follow your own advice.
Just out of curosity to see if anyone got the test build via OTA, and did not manually update it
Yes, you should have been paying attention the last few days. This was a test release sent to a few tech bloggs for review.

Not a single person on the entirety of XDA has received the OTA.
It was press only for people who attended Google I/O.
According to what I have heard, the press people were an accident, that the test build was only supposed to goto some testers.
It seems that some of the press people IMEIs were dumped into the IMEI list by accident and that is why they received the update via OTA.
Google really has not been very vocal about this and that is what is causing the confusion.
It would have been better if they said, N1 community FroYo is due out in x weeks (we hope).

Who cares how it was released. We got a little Froyo.
Everyone complains about how it doesn't work as expected, needs to chill, considering this was a release candidate.
Personally I installed 2.2 before most, and I'm enjoying the hell out of it. I don't know why everyone is flipping out, it works perfect to me. I had it freeze up one time, which was when I first booted, and all I had to do was wait a few minutes for it to unfreeze. It runs great for now.
Who gives a crap where it came from and who got it.
I have a question i have a non rooted n1 i manually installed froyo on it will i be able to do the over the air update when the real thing actually comes out?

I'm with ya on this one man.
I just saw on android central that the Eris will be getting an update on July 16th. I just rooted not to long ago and I love it. Just wanted to know if it is possible for me to still get the OTA update now that I have rooted?
remember how there was a few people
who got that update a bout 2 weeks ago?
thats what this is. just the rest of them
are getting it.
once someone who gets it can pull the
url, then the devs will be able to put
it into their roms.
Ivans 1.2?
Ok, Thanks!!!
Is this just an update fixing all the garbage problems with the 2.1 OTA? Took 'em long enough. Good thing I rooted the day I got the OTA because it was terrible.

for some odd reason I doubt it
Believe it (an OTA update) when you (or others) see it.
Hopefully I will have my new phone by the time this comes out. I simply had crazy issues with the Eris and am going to get a different phone.
I am going to assume that it will be the end of the month before everyone gets the OTA.
It'll probably a rolling update across the country since the last big update ordeal crashed a few servers. If you jump on Verizon's site after the rolling update is done you should be bale to update by downloading that way. One of the reasons the was also such a wait for the 2.1 update was there was a big jump from 1.5 to 2.1.
It'll be interesting to see what all happens with the update, and rooted phones.
I got a revison 1.4 of this phone a week ago, and the phone has been better than the Captivate I left behind. I got bored of Andriod, and needed a change. I have been searching the web regarding updates to the revision of this phone, and haven't seen anything recent. I am on software version 7004, and I am aware about the different memory used in 1.4 compared to 1.3. I don't want to unlock the phone, and force an update. That's the reason I got away from Andriod to begin with. I spent too much time dicking around with custom Gingerbread ROM's. So, anyone heard of when updates will start hitting for this phone?

IIRC from the WP team blog of last week, they are still working on/testing the updates for Focus rev 1.4 and refuse to give any timeline.

Did you get it at an AT&T store? If you did you might might to take it back and try to swap it out.
I bought my Focus a few weeks ago and ran into the same issue. I had the sales rep check the the rev# when he was putting the SIM card in. It was 1.4 so I asked for another handset. Unfortunately, that was the last one in the store at the time. He told me take it and if I didn't get the update in a week or two to come back and he'd swap it out. I went back a week later and he grabbed another new Focus. We checked the the rev# and it was 1.3. He swapped it out at no charge. When I plugged it into Zune it updated through NODO. Still waiting like everyone else for the security patch.
i got a Focus last may 15 and i checked if i had 1.3 or 1.4 after finding out that issue and thank God im on 1.3m i got it from an ATT store
Guys how do you check to see what version you have? I have one coming Monday from AT&T online and you guys have managed to scare me stiff.

You have to check the little white sticker behind the battery cover. I decided to exchange mine today for a 1.3. I found an ATT store that had 19 in stock, and only had to check one box to find a version 1.3. The weird thing about it is that this was a new shipment of 19, and probably all were version 1.3. From my past experiences with Samsung, I decided to play it safe with the exchange. The new version 1.3 updated without any problems. Regardless of who is to blame, it still strikes me that the version 1.4 can't even receive a February or March update.

prior to May 15 when i got my Focus ATT had no stock of them, so i guess mine is from a new batch of rev 1.3s

Got to the dialpad and key in ##634# to enter the diagnosis app (or just open the diagnosis app from the app list if you have already done this)
Enter in *#2222# to see the FTA Hardware Version. It will either say Rev1.3 or Rev1.4
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.

OTA is being pushed to 100% of Epic users in 10 days instead of 3 like the Froyo updates.

The store told you this to get you off of their backs.
Were you rooted?
It will come, patience is a virtue.
No, im not rooted. I have the update now anyways, I downloaded directly from google and put it on my epic manually, so far so good.

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 ;-)

I dloaeded the stock EI22 and did the update and my GPS went totally dead. Even used Status/setup to try and get it going again to no avail. Went back to stock EC05 and it works like a charm....go figure. I'll just wait for the OTA and see if it works any different....

You just need the GPS fix. That's the only problem I see with stock ei22 and the fix makes it work fantastic. Even better than ec05 in my opinion.

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.
