Has anyone installed it yet,
Should we update, or not?
If you don't want root and do want the features given by the update, then update. Otherwise, no.
There is a OTA update by a dev that lets you keep root... wife has it and running and still maintained root

Yes, you can install the ROM that was created that incorporated all the features of the OTA update and keep root. However, you can't actually just install the update.
how can i check for the update? On my g1, mt3g, and my nexus i go to "about phone" and "update". On my wife's slide theres no such option. I dont know if its still rolling out, but if it already hit her slide ota but she didnt immediately act upon it, would it just stay as a notification or is there somewhere i go on the phone to check for update? thanks

I dont think you can check. It will come automaticly and prompt you for DL. Yes it would stay as a notification. My gf phone had the notification for a few days now but I told her not to update it yet she has been telling me how annoying having the notification in her bar is....hahaha
They must still be rolling it out because I haven't got it yet. As far as root, this update should still allow us to keep it without going through the whole process again... right?? Either way I'll do the ota, rooting is easy - I just want them to hurry up with froyo
Edit: nevermind on the update, just finished reading that I would have to root again but with a completely different exploit.

My phone says download in progress. Is there anyway to stop it from downloading, or does it automatically download, then prompts you to install it?
[edit]
Nevermind, it downloads but doesn't automatically install itself. Win for Android!

Tell me how i got a random(s) reboots on the ota rom(rooted ver), it seems to be unstable for me sometimes....I open kb while in sleep and it froze and then bootlooped like 1000's times..sheesh..I was better off before.Talk about an improvement, a rotary phone is more stable than this update.The phone is more hot with heat inside, this cause multiple kernal panics with android OS a lot of time, for me.Now what I not know what do with phone that is 94 farinheit!

I wasn't serious just felt like saying that to respond to his comment...You probably didn't notice the sarcasm.
Ok I guess the wife hasn't received it yet, no notification. Seems like they should all be out by now. With my g1, mt, and nexus I don't think I've ever waited for an ota, I'm in san Antonio and ota's just never come. I've always had to do it manually, but I haven't kept up with my wife's slide, can I manually update her slide for her?
So I turned on my phone and it's updating!
Awesome. Next time, post in the right section. Actually, look in the right section to see the dozens of threads about this already.
Congrats none the less.

There is quite a handful of people reporting the same thing. Most of the replies involve using ODIN to revert back stock and trying again. Some have had success in pushing a .zip through ADB and going through recovery.
Either way it seems you have to be bone stock (no LagFix and Original GPS) to get it working.
On the other hand nobody feels bad for those that get the Vibrant screen loop since the vast majority of those affected have 3rd party ROMs/Kernals and LagFixes which won't play nice with the OTA.
Better quote. I found the firmware on the site. and my friend at samsung firmware found the keys to decrypt. and paid. And we gave you all the firmware.
Just wanted to get the facts straite.

I've even heard bone stock people complaining about getting stuck at the vibrant screen. maybe they should have tested more
Why do people still trust OTA updates? It seems every OTA update has caused nothing but grief...just root and rom and screw OTAs. I trust anyone of our devs moreso than some random OTA jibberish.
Thread moved to General.
My stock (but rooted) T-Mobile Vibrant just start getting an OTA! What could it be? Froyo perhaps? I'm undoing my lagfix just in case.
Did you get any previous updates before this? Because this just could be the ji6 ota, which is 2.1.

Yes, I got the previous update (running UVJI6)
OMG! maybe it's gingerbread...............

logcat before you accept the update just incase it is 2.2
Wow~ I'm going to try it through Kies Mini.
Kies Mini stopped seeing my phone altogether after the last update. Windows just sees it as a dumb thumb drive (cause the drivers are installed, ofc).
But if someone who's phone works can post if Kies mini even tells them there's an update available that would be nice.
It usually gives the basebane of the update, and that can/would tell us what it is.

And of course Kies Mini chain crashing everytime I plug my phone in (Win7 32-Bit).
Well... Uninstalled again, lol.
The OP is suspiciously M.I.A., though...
EDIT: Kies Mini on XP 32-Bit says JI6 is the latest version. Cool tactic (starting the thread at 2am), though...
Everyone who wakes up will be running to this thread.
I searched twitter with no results.
Thus, op is not getting froyo.
There is a report of a user getting the 'DM arrows' over at the t-mobile forums. Not saying this is anything, but it could be. Or maybe not. But, then again...maybe.

When I came into my store yesterday our demo Vibrant had 'DM arrows' showing but had already been upgraded. I went ahead and "told it" to upgrade. Nothing changed.
The phone already had the upgraded market as well, so I don't know what's up with these showing up.
A short story
At home, I have this big ol' gang of dogs. They all want me to throw the tennis ball. One of the dogs is a little smarter than the others. He has learned from experience the throw might be a fake out. The rest of the dogs NEVER learn and always go running off after the phantom ball. The smart one just stands there waiting and continuing to watch. (Or maybe he checks his Twitter feed; I'm not 100% sure.)
When I really do throw the ball, he is the one who always gets to it first.
The moral of the story is: Keep an eye on the smarter dog.
(PS... I think that damn dog just hacked my credit card... unless one of you guys just sent me 800 pounds of cubed Kobe beef...)
Just Bricked my Phone
I got this DM update and said yes , install, reboot , etc... The install "failed" and rebooted. Now I can't get past the Vibrant screen and logcat basically shows me a kernel panic/fail and keeps repeating itself.
I had rooted my phone and had Ryan's OCLF installed and configured. Any ideas how to get back to stock firmware and try again ?
What version were you coming from? 2.1? If so I bet the kernel failed updating and 2.1 and 2.2 kernels are not compatible with each other.
Coming from 2.1 ... hoping I can push a stock firmware image to my sdcard and boot into recovery - searching for links in the forum but no luck yet
Engadget Confirmed it but for Canada not US
Samsung Vibrant and Fascinate get Froyo in Canada
I love my phone but it's frustrating seeing other galaxy devices getting updates left and right while we get left in the dark
I posted a comment on samsung forum saying that this phone is great but it's already outdated when it hit the stores and they denied my comment
Honestly I'm losing hope due to the fact my girlfriend had a Droid Incredible with 2.2 even my old G1 has 2.2 it may be to much for it to handle it but it still has 2.2
Btw. If it wasn't for you developers I would have left a long time ago Thank You Guys
Sent from my Rooted space time Continuum w/ 2600mAh battery
It will get 2.2 eventually, but only time will tell how long. If we can get kernel source for the I500 phones, we should be able to get you a working kernel, and you may be able to use one of the Fascinate Froyo ROMs then. The biggest problem you'll have is getting the kernel until Samsung releases the OTA or source because of the different video driver used for the screen/ticker/soft keys.

I'm with you on this update lincoln3823. Very frustrating hearing other phones have froyo while a phone released in November is unable to get an update.
I love my phone but I'm going crazy with my RSS not working at all and SNS not working correctly (facebook-yes; twitter-no).
I've even reset my phone and it worked for maybe a couple of days.
Why won't they push an update to froyo??

Well it was said that samsung was charging carriers to release ota firmware updates. I don't know how much it is true but I'm starting to believe the rumors.
Sent from my Rooted space time Continuum w/ 2600mAh battery
If that's true, that really stinks.
Sure wish I new someone who knows the answer to this question.
Heck, I might even pay for it, if the cost (ROI) was worth it. Sure would like to see flash on my phone. Besides froyo has 57% of the market vs. eclair at 31%.
That's crazy considering the Continuum came out in November.
On another note:
I haven't rooted my phone and I noticed your signature as Rooted.
Question? Is it worth rooting? I've read Pros on it but haven't seen any Cons. What's the drawback on it? Updates? Can you revert back to stock if I choose too.

There is only 1 con of rooting. Having to re-root after an OTA update
Sent from my space time Continuum using the XDA App.
Yea are no cons every since I rooted my phone. I was able to freeze all of verizon garbage freeing up memory thats usually taken by crap that I don't use eg. skype and you can root and unroot as many times as you like

I hear you dfgged.
So like I've been looking around at forums to root my phone but I have no idea what I'm doing. Really none. Just got my continuum in Jan. I read about OneClick and SuperOneClick (think that's right) and sometimes it works and sometime not.
Can you point me to the "Root for Dummies" section?
Also, what software do I need to backup my phone incase of trouble so I can revert back to stock?

If you want, I could make a tutorial much like my one for CWM. It might take me a bit to edit it though, but better late than never XD
Sent from my space time Continuum using the XDA App.
Tutorials are always great. I'd love to see it.
BTW, I rooted my phone using SuperOneClick. It worked perfectly and I've verified it using Root Checker. Now my next step is I want to remove or freeze the bloatware.
I'll direct future non Subject (Are we ever going to get 2.2) related questions to appropriate Threads posting.
I really didn't have an idea about rooting either....seems like I was looking everywhere for rooting information. I tried z4 multiple times with no effect. superoneclick worked. I am running a windows 7 laptop. The phone drivers updated (downloaded from the net) when I plugged in my phone. Then I followed the video instructions on superoneclick site and everything worked fine. continuum w/ verizon. Now I just need to figure out how update to 2.2 I"m on the way!

There is no leaks available yet so the only way to get to 2.2 is to wait, or hope that Adrynalyne can get a leak.
But both imnuts and Adrynalyne are both working on custom roms so there will be some love for the continuum

samsung submitted ec17 for the fascinate to verizon...and apparently that is still in testing...im just gonna assume it ll fail testing like most of their updates and never come out
the fascinate root crowd no longer really cares though as the mesmerize 2.2 officially came out w/ source....
but it seems like continuum updates follow quickly behind fascinate updates...so if hypothetically a fascinate ota occured like this week then it would probably be soon after for the i400
Ok, I was just fine tweaking 2.1 for now until something happened and we finaly got 2.2+, since Eclair isn't really that bad. Now I am starting to see 2.2+ only apps (ones that I want to try mostly) and it's starting to make me less patient. It saddens me since this phone had so much potential with the decent hardware and interesting ticker feature, but it is quickly being left in the dust as the little android that couldn't... /sadpanda
Looks like Samsung has released the Froyo source code for the Fascinate... that could be a good sign... Of course, isn't there a Fascinate on Rogers (Canada) that has had Froyo for awhile?
I know I saw it on android central and I got excited but then again we did get left behind once before

That's the "you ran an RUU and something ****ed up" screen.
Next time do a little research before doing anything similar.
You need to find the most recent RUU & run that. Hopefully that'll get you started in the right direction.
You didn't have to unroot. Just could have run a stock/rooted ROM
Plainjane
Lol, your post made my day. "The 'you ran a RUU and something ****ed up screen'. Hahahahaha.
Edit: OP, if you rooted with revolutionary, then I'm pretty sure you want a RUU that is 4.24 or newer. I think the hboot matters as well. There are thread here in this very same subforum about how to unroot after revolutionary. Just some reading. Lotta work to do now.
Like hipkat said, didn't even need to unroot. I would never unroot, given that even you wanted stock,....you can have it with root.
