I just got the OTA update! I'm not too possible if it's Froyo or some other update. I'm currently on stock JFD FW.
How do I check if it's froyo update before I update?

OMG lol, if you are running JFD it is prob JI6
Oh, ok =/
That sucks, I thought they killed JI6 OTA's?
If your on JFD it's probably just the JI6 update. TMO still hasn't finished pushing JI6 to all the Vibrants.
I thought they did too, but who knows.
And I'm not trying to be mean or bash anyone but why do people get a message saying there's an update and don't do it, they come on here and post they got it. Do the update and check the Phone Info and see.

Well said.
OP, could you change the Title of the thread (go to edit > advanced mode).
200 views already... the title is going to make people click, and I don't think you really want people reading this.... just saying.
^ agreed.

They did finish with the JI6 OTA, it was only sent through October.
I called several weeks back telling TMO that I didn't get the JI6 OTA and the rep told me that I missed the boat and that I would need to wait for the "New OS update being released later this month, which is better than JI6"
Take it for what it is....
OP... Just update it and check About Phone and tell us what it is
I bought a second Vibrant on 11/11 and I received JI6 on that phone on 11/13. So, it would seem their not done sending JI6, because my update was not Froyo and neither is the OPs, which he said he just received.
So could it be froyo? Because like I don't think t mobile worker push out ji6 again should they? Again i could be wrong.

They usually release only to a few thousand at a time the first few days, then up to 10,000 a day a few days later or something like that, so you might not get it till next week if its truly coming out.
They also have typically announced the update in the Verizonwireless.com forums under the android\incredible section. Until you see it there I would consider it a rumor.
Im just wondering if we will even get the ota if we're rooted or if we will have to unroot first.
According to this, the update is for real:
w ww.droid-life.com/2010/07/16/breaking-droid-incredible-ota-update-is-go/
Oops...can't post a link yet.
hey OP, make this a poll
I've been seeing it everywhere, but haven't gotten it yet.

gonna have to unroot to get updates.
EDIT: I take this back. It depends on your version. If you have an older version of software and you have not turned off notifications you will get the notification to update. If, however you're running a froyo ROM then my understanding is that you won't see the update.
Been on all the android forums today , so far nobody has gotten the update OTA.
If it was out today vzw would confirm it like they did when we got the first update.
All I heard today was a friend of a friend got the update , RIGHT !
Verizon hasn't released the "official" OTA, but there is a leaked version that people are downloading and installing. It appears to be authentic, but since not an OTA may affect future Radio updates if you install it. Plenty of info over at the Droid Forum.

Which Droid forum?
this droid forum for one thing. Check in the development section and you will see several threads with leaked ota discussing this
.
I'm really anxious to get the update, but I'm going to wait for the OTA. I updated my Eris with a leaked OTA, and I ended up regretting it. It made rooting much more difficult, and stopped me from getting the final OTA.

Do you know how it stopped you from getting the final OTA? i would think if you wiped and went back to a stock ROM the network wouldn't know the difference.

Nope. Known issue with the Eris leak.
Well, I'm not sure if if I have the OTA or not, or just part of it.
I rooted with the original instructions, then updated everything with Unrevoked 3.1. Stock ROM installed, have working WIFI tether.
Yesterday, got a message in my notification bar that a Verizon widget was available. I can now add a new Data Usage widget to my desktop, which says "Data Usage 0.0/0 MB Estimate as of N/A". Not sure why it isn't updating, but it's possible that it's related to me having a corporate rather than a personal account.
Never got a prompt to install any OTA. Tethering still works.
Hardware version 0002, Firmware version 2.1-update1
So maybe the Verizon widget was pushed by itself without the full OTA since I don't have the standard recovery?
FYI, the OTA has been halted in favor of packaging it up with the official Android FroYo v2.2 update. So instead up two OTA's we will have one OTA to rule them all!

Even better! I assume the recommendation then is to unroot?

No, the recommendation would probably be to hold your horses and wait till the OTA get's patched so we can simply upgrade without any hassle.
So installed 2.2.1 on my phone via sdcard blah blah blah. That's it. Nothing else. No changes unless that update did it itself. Someone said as long as you did just that, I can still update to the official OTA 2.2. They said this doesn't block updates, changing roms and kernels does. Is this true cause if so then ill just wait till the update and not revert back to stock.
no. you will not recieve ota updates running anything except official stock rom. that would be di18 or older.

you say changing roms is what affects updates, well, what do you think you did by flashing 2.2?
that is changing the rom!
Relax, take a deep breath, and stop making threads.
If your phone works fine now, go with it. The official update will be leaked here too, and you will be able to flash it the same way you flashed DK28.
Will you be able to get it OTA? Possibly, but Sprint rolls everything out slowly. I got my phone 2 weeks ago and it claimed I was on the newest version: DG27! Obviously DI18 was out but their OTA system is flaky at best.
If you want to go back to being part of the masses, go read the thread about how to Odin back to stock and wait patiently for Sprint to update you.
If you want the latest and greatest, stick with DK28 and flash the new version when it comes out.
Simple as that.
hi lucjoe!
Oh well shi*. I didn't even think about that. Yeah ill just wait till the official version comes out download.it and flsh it. Haha sweet then my phone will be official again no worries! Genius! God I'm an idiot....

Did your phone eventually update itself? If so how long did it take for the phone to figure out it needed to update?

NO it didn't i just found the link to the "official" update and downloaded it, flashed it and thats it. chances are, the ACTUAL leaked version will be able to download before the OTA actually hits.

When I first got the epic my first phone was on dg27 and after 2 days still wouldn't update so I did it myself with odin. I took it back cause I felt maybe there was something wrong since it wouldn't update itself. The one I have now came with di18 on it. Why do some phones not update themselves?

It has nothing to do with the phone. The OTA system rolls out slowly across the country. Also, the function to check for updates seems to not actually check the main server, but rather waits for updates to be pushed to it. This push could take a few days even if your area is live for the update.
Just another reason to flash from our wonderful community and ignore their OTA updates. Also, a terrible reason to return a phone...
Are you saying that if I waited long enough it might have updated itself? I called sprint tech and explained to them that I was two updates behind and they said it should have updated by now and that it must have an issue. So he said take it back to where I got it and he would put a note in my acct. That the phone was defective. So I played with it that night and flashed the update to it and rooted it just to learn.

rooted, installed cw recovery, installed jt's superclean 0.4 DI01 ROM, what would I do when 2.2 or 2.3 comes out? will I have to wait a couple days for a updated ROM to come out for that version of android? Or would I have to go back to stock?
Wait for a ROM... Much easier than dealing with having to go back to stock just for an ota

this. and you know very shortly after an OTA comes out, or more likely before, it will be released here in multiple flavors. so i wouldn't worry about it.
ok cool. thanks
Thanks for the info....good post. I hope its true and we see it soon. Ignore PhoenixPath he likes to shoot down anyone.... Your thread 100% belongs here.
Would it be expected to have a Froyo 2.2 rom the same day it comes out OTA if Verizon somehow keeps it from being leaked before?

I would think there would at least be a rooted version out the same day. A lot of it will depend on when it is released. If it gets released late at night or during the week, it may take a little longer than if it gets released earlier in the day or on like a Friday.
Another reason not to return to stock to get an update from Verizon: The update may prevent the phone from being rooted again by patching the security loophole that we exploit to gain root.

Find the Odin package for DI01 (all in one) and flash that to your phone. It will revert it back to stock DI01. Then, you'd just have to get the DL09 and EA28 updates to have the latest stock software.

Sweet, back to stock. Where can I get the latest official updates?
the answer is in your question.
That means use the software update checker in settings. Though when I odined to DI01 the software update popped up immediately. I'm surprised it didn't for you.
Didn't for me, and when I check it just sits on "please wait" and then goes away and nothing happens.

Yeah I realized that after a few minutes. I'm just not used to updates with this phone, so I didn't even know there was an check for updates option. Didn't work though.
Whether it comes tomorrow or not, I have my bloatless Froyo and I'm happy with it.

how did you manage to have a phone with voodoo on it when you seem to know nothing about the phone at all? And did you even take 5 seconds to do a search before asking things like "where can I get di01"? Geez, put in a little effort... or at least say thanks when someone does the legwork FOR YOU and gives you a link.

Blackhole 4.2 on EB01 Froyo.
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?
