smeyrs1012,
It's supposed to be Friday, and it's usually done at night.

Cheers.

My GT doesn't show this as an option
So, as I read this forum and a few others, it appears that a Gingerbread Mod is the way to go for now? I am running Darkslide V4.2 on my rooted DX, but I want the Netflix app, and it won't work. What mod do I need? I am a beginner with the whole modding of the phone. I got extremely lucky when I unlocked and rooted both my DX and Xoom. I got it on the first try and didn't brick my devices. LOL. So, any help would be appreciated, Thanks!

This is what i've gotten so far from my research over the past several months in anticipation for Netflix on my DX. You can't get netflix to work on any android device as of now. There was a leaked version that came out a while back that only worked for less than a month. It was supposedly a leak from a concept phone at CES, if i remember correctly. Netflix's servers just deny access to any Android phone (The leaked Netflix.apk is fully functional, minus actually streaming movies. That is, you can still add things to your queue and browse the library). This is because they are still working for a universal DRM system for Android (if they want it to goto ALL android devices), otherwise it will only be available for certain android devices that work out deals with Netflix individually.
EDIT: Lol, I lied. Just found this. you need gingerbread 595

Quote from Cellular South
"We have approved the Hero 2.1 Android update and it has now been handed over to Google and HTC for their final approval. When this occurs, the software will be available to download from the online Discover Center. We will provide more details here next week as soon as it’s available."
Right off their facebook page! YES!!!!
Note: If you want to root your phone later, Do NOT apply this update!!! IF YOU ARE ROOTED, DO NOT APPLY THIS UPDATE EITHER!!! This WILL wipe your phone and root! I will be making a stripped down flashable version once it is released!
Wow sorry to hear you had to wait what, an extra month and a half? That's nuts.

Nope just was in system updates this morning. Very happy for those that own one since this is considered a "dead" device. I started doubting the recent purchase of it for my wife but now that she has it, the battery life will be greater with the extended battery and she'll have the newest software. I may troll around here just to keep the forum moving.
nothing new here. I thought GB was only getting pushed for DroidX this week

Don't quote me on this but I don't think that it will automatically install by itself. I manually installed it on my wife's phone. Not sure about the system apps.

It's actually on my wife's phone and sadly I am at work. I will try and do it when I get home. Fingers crossed.
Ah cheers for that But heres the big question again ... was your wife's Pro rooted when she got it? I am always unsure with that ... last time for the update, I didnt unroot and left some apps frozen and it was absolutely fine. This time I am not so sure though ... :/

Just wondering. I'm waiting to see when the rollout will start to happen. I keep checking manually for the update but no luck yet. I wonder what time they will start rolling it out...
I'm waiting a few people to say they got the green light, so that I can unroot, and maderstcok340 back to factory settings

Wow guess was after all just a rumor lol :-\
The new date is the first, kids.
You should be able to pull at midnight of the 1st.
How about we stop waiting in anticipation for something that isn't coming and work with what we have?
Where did you hear the new date is the first?
Personally, I think Verizon is being rather mean posting the changelog and withholding the actual download...:-D

That's for the manual download. The OTA should still be today. And I believe they usually start at like noon EDT.

I'm on .595, rooted. Do I want to unroot and get this update, or should I stick with what I have? If I unroot, do I need to SBF to get back to Froyo to get tonight's update?

You should wait for the OTA to get rooted and get some ROMs going. At least that's what I'm doing.
But yeah, in order to receive the OTA, you'll need to SBF back to Froyo.

Is there anyone that knows about this update. I was doing my homework, and then it just popped up. Im normally not one who updates, I usually update right before the next update is released. But i know the Honeycomb is still buggy so i would be willing to update.
System Update 4.010.07 (128.61 MB)
I even looked on here first, but didnt see anyone else with it.
Maybe its a region thing. If so im in New Orleans,La if that helps.

update yes
This is a worthwhile update.its a firmware and Google is.and will add some function and address some of the known issues but yes it could bring other issues.I am in Kentucky when its pushed to me I will update.
ok, thats what I dont understand. My tab is already running 3.1.0.
i had my tablet from launch, 2weeks later i got an OTA update, that took my root away, and have been unable to get it rooted since. now im being told that this is the 3.1, but i am already running?????
any thoughts....
Are you sure its not 3.0.1? Look in settings about.

wow, hows that for dumb luck, here we all are hanging,sweating & desperate for HC3.1 and hes tossing up whether to update or not, i think i will calmly just turn off my PC before i SnAp..... hehehe
OK,everyone so angry, yes I have been running 3.1 for about a month.
Now this update is pushing across. I guess ill try it. Not sure why everyone always wants to update, from my personal experience I have always had bad luck updating.
I'm gonna push it now, will post back.

Verizon has started updating the tabs to 2.3.5 today. Probably will take a few days for everyone to get it though. Just thought I would share.
Edit: thanks to jason62082 we now have a link to download the update.zip! Enjoy everyone and be sure to thank Jason for pulling it from his tab and uploading it!

No, I dont have it yet. I work for them and just letting u know they started it today. I am patiently waiting for it now. Just wanted to let everyone know the good news. If u dont believe me, call in and ask. It was released today.
And btw, I have never pulled a zip and dont know how to, or I would once I get it. Sorry. Just wait for the ota or someone else to post it.
Sent from my SCH-I800 using xda premium
I can confirm this update. My Tab notified me about 10 minutes ago. Haven't updated yet because I don't feel like having to root it again. If someone could tell me how though, I will try to pull the .zip
EDIT: Never mind. It was a smaller update for 2.2....
Any proof
Any proof, like picture?
Anyone who had previously been using the "leaked" VZW GB rom try to update to this official one? Any differences noted or anticipated? Is there any point instead of sticking to the "leaked" ROM?
Other than unrooting, will this update screw anything up?
If I'm rooted can I still get this ota update?
I bypassed the verizon activation a few days ago with the volume up and down method and I am currently using my tab on wifi only. Will I get the update? If I do get it, will I have to bypass it again? Will the same method work?
Sent from my SCH-I800 using xda premium
I am not sure if you'll get it if not on Verizon's network. I am getting impatient though. The announcement I read said it was starting on the 1st but I still haven't seen it, nor has anyone else I know. Any of you guys got it yet??? Mine had the GB leak on it and I flashed back to stock Froyo just for this. I'm just hoping something I did didn't block me from getting it.
I can't get it yet either.

I'm over in the quail hollow area off Carmel. Funny. Small world. Anyway, I'm thinking of calling tech support and asking them about it.
Ask them if the update will screw up our rooted Tabs.
I'm sure it would as far as losing root, but they gave me the basic song and dance. Said it was staggered and may take a while for everyone to get it. Then he told me to go into the store and have it updated which isn't true. I work in the store and we have no way to update smartphones and tablets, only basic phones. It just seems strange that no one on this forum has received it. When I go back to work tomorrow I will check to see if it was pulled back or delayed for any reason.
Question, when it updates, does it just put an update.zip on the sd card? If so, then I will try to copy and post on here.
Edit: I have a sneaky suspicion that it was delayed for some reason. Check it out. It still says coming soon on the public page.

Yes, when the OTA update pop up shows up, that means you have an update.zip on the internal storage of your Tab. Use Root explorer or ES and navigate to /cache and you'll find the update.zip once you get the OTA notice. Then you can just upload that update.zip to any hosting site, and drop a link here for all to enjoy.
