Will I still get the OTA even though I updated to JI5 through KIES before it was pulled
c'mon does anyone know?
I am on the same boat not sure if I am going to get it. The update it supposed end by 31 of this month but if I don't receive it I will call T-Mobile let them know what I have done.
From my understanding NO, you have to go back to stock and wait for the update or download it with Kies Mini.

I was just about to go to bed, and my newly-exchanged Epic 4G just popped up an update screen asking me to update to DI18.
Sorry if this is duplicate news, but I heard that DI18 was delayed indefinitely, so I guess they're rolling it out now.
Anyone else getting it OTA yet?

Did anyone else get their phone un-rooted by the update? After the reboot, I tried launching SetCPU, and got an error message that root wasn't available & it was running in read-only mode.
I'm not sure whether I should be happy that I didn't have to unroot it first to get the update, or furious about an OTA update unrooting what was (I thought) a permanent rooting.

The word "permanent" is used very loosely, so I've learned.

I'm rooted and I still don't have the update. I got the D107 right off the bat. I was starting to think I needed to unroot to get it.

Rooted on the boss rom, got update notification. Haven't installed yet but it won't stopp telling me to..

I've been getting prompted all morning to update, haven't done it yet though as I am rooted. But yes, it will come to you if you're rooted
Confirmed that the update is rolling out. It's best to go way of manuel update with a rooted phone though.

I want to update to JI6 but I hear it could be until the end of October when I receive the OTA. I hear it's available now through KIES. Is it worth the risk? is there even more of a risk than doing it OTA? I had the one click lag fix installed and got rid of it a few days ago in preparation of the OTA update. I can't stand the lagggg. I want to install the lag fix back on but won't until my phone is upgraded to JI6 for fear of bricking.
I called tmobiles customer support yesterday and asked him about when I could be reciving the update. He told me if I didn't get it by friday to call back and that there would be a way to get it manually from tmobile. If you can hold out till friday call them and get it.

i say flash it through odin. If you have hardware locked phone, flash ji4 first to unlock it and then flash the JI6. After that, you will have to flash mobileAP.

I don't know how to tell if my vibrant is hardware locked. Also, I've never used Odin. I plan to bone up on it in case 2.2 update takes longer than expected.That was I can install a custom ROM and be done with it.
Wait what? How is updating via KIES (official Samsung software) more risky than updating via Odin (a third party tool)? KIES may be a bloated POS and it may not officially support USA phones but if an update is available on KIES do that over Odin. Or wait for OTA but I am personally sick of waiting
I just updated from stock ROM with root. Worked like a charm, I had to use the one-click-root to get back superuser permission afterward, though. No biggy though.
Everything seems to be working great!
forgot to add that I used Kies running on my Windows 7 32-bit laptop.
I bricked my hardware locked, totally stock phone earlier today using the Kies update. I mean, I'm not saying that the danger of bricking is that great, but its definitely possible.
Well, my laptop just died trying to install the latest kies version. I guess I'll wait till Friday now.

Please see the official update instructions...
There is a download link for "KIes for Vibrant", which has only one purpose, to help us upgrade the phone software..

Thank you.
did anybody's avatar movie lock up after the update? I can still watch it but it does nothing but prompt me everytime saying "avatar.dcf is locked. Do you want to unlock it?" I can also only watch it through the movie player. The shortcut won't work.
I am running DL30, just got the notice of the update for the puzzle lock issue, do I need to install this?
thanks
There is no MR for froyo. I believe that the message you are talking about is an update for those running DL09 or DI01. In which you could not make emergency calls when the phone was locked.
You shouldn't be able to use the vzw OTA client while running the DL30 leak. You would have to revert to an earlier stock ROM in order to download this update from verizon.
I'm unsure whether DL30 has the 911 issue this update is meant to correct but personally I don't think it's worth the trouble. If there is a problem I'm sure someone will post a more convenient fix soon.

Thanks for the answers. I think I will just let it ride. I got the notice of the update, but I did not try it.

Before anyone says it, please know I have been reading through many threads that mention this problem, but I am wondering if people are still having this problem now that they are pushing updates.
When I go to system updates and attempt to check firmware, update profile, or update prl...all I get is the Unknown Error in return.
I was once rooted and returned back to DI18 in hopes of getting the pushed OTA this week. Is anyone still having this problem? I am simply trying to make sure that my flash is not causing this problem. I used Odin and the link from the XDA forums to go back to stock. I am not rooted.
Thank you guys in advance for your reply and all of your help.
I have never had anything but stock everything and I'm getting the Unknown Error most of the time for all of them with the occasional No Update Available message sprinkled in.
I have EB13 which I received OTA before they pulled it fwiw.
I also have had nothing but stock and am seeing the same thing. Still waiting on ota.

Thanks guys. I just was making sure I wasnt the only one here having that issue. It sounded like everyone now is on Ec05 and i wanted to make sure I wasnt handicapped in some way.
Anything related to provisioning or Sprint Profile information related to the Epic and a few other Sprint phones will not connect. PRL 60777 cane out and all other Sprint devices can update to it, but they messed something up on the towers when they tried to put EC05 on it.
The way it looks currently is that the OTA is for DI18.... You can odin back to DI18 and wait for the OTA if you want cause that maybe the only way to get it if you are unwilling to flash a ROM from here. Hopefully sprint won't leave the EB13'ers out in the cold....

Hey man. Thanks for the reply and the help. I have run your ROM and loved it. Thanks for the hard work you have put into it and a special thanks for sharing your life with us. Very encouraging.
I have downloaded the EC05 from google, but I am just trying to see what the OTA experience is as I have always just rooted and flashed before.

Do you mean ever or just this second? I thought it was just hitting DI18 users first and the small proportion of us who got EB13 OTA will be getting it last, either today or tomorrow.
Unless I'm outdated, the release said EB13 was getting it as well... but of course take what you will from a Sprint announcement.
I've never rooted or flashed or done anything like that... I just can't imagine they'd punish me for receiving the EB13 OTA quicker than a lot of other people.
Im on Eb13 and got a text from sprint last night letting me know it was coming. Anyone else from eb13 got the ota yet?

You won't be able to receive OTA updates since the phone is flashed to Verizon. Having said that, if you want to update your firmware your best bet is to S-off your phone (if you haven't already done so). Once you've done this you can fairly easily update your firmware. As for the issue with the keys, that seems to be Verizon's way of preventing people from doing exactly what you and many others have done.

right i see people selling phones now that are being used as hotspots that do receive the ota keys from verizon,,, im just wondering how to get my phone to do the same thing....
