Go ahead and update. It's not going to pull a Vibrant on you.

Can u install alogcat before doing the update, that way we can get the ota link, for those of us who have not received it?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

Yes, PLEASE try and pull a log, we need to get that ota out there so people can install it themselves, or reinstall if they've messed something up.

Did you already receive the 2.2.1 update or is this the first OTA for you?

after you install alogcat, go to filter and type in "clients.google" without the quotation marks

Post all questions in Q&A section.
Thank you,
Korey

i left mine in the notification earlier. i read somewhere, prob just a rumor, that if you install the update, it will lock you out of using hotspot for free(which they are gonna be charging $15 for soon).... until i can get a def log of what the update is, i will just leave it there.

That sounds likely to me. Doesn't make sense to charge for it if you can just turn it on and use it without the plan. I'll stick to my 'wifi tether' app.

Do what the others suggested with aLogcat please. We really need that link.

^ what he said, for the love of all that is shiny. LOL
I have over 48hrs of logs on my SD card now because I've been running aLogcat the entire time waiting for the update on my second device. I'm starting to think that T-Mobile is screening for folks who are logging haha.

I've been waiting for over aweek when the t mobile people said 48 hours after first call was made btw I have been very happy with this phone switch from nexus one.

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

HTC EVO Shift Release - 2.76.651.5 (3.92MB) OTA

I just got this 2.76.651.5 update OTA and so far it seems to have fixed the Sense UI reloading issue from the last OTA update. Here to hoping it's finally fixed.

Will there be any issues when this comes to achieving root? The last ota i got totally screwed me. Can anyone confirm whether or not this will inpead root ability?

I screwed myself by accepting the last OTA update. I'm certainly not accepting this one until know for sure it won't screw me further.

I'm personally not going to take that update atm. Still not happy with my current phone situation anyway... Had an Epic 4G but my fiancee wanted to upgrade from her dated Samsung Moment. So i looked around on Craigs and bought a Shift 4G. She didn't want the shift though, because she got so attached to her game-gripper on the Moment. So I gave her my Epic and took the Shift. Too bad it already had 2.3.3 on it =/
I'm just waiting on a new root exploit and I'm afraid to update anything on this sucker until then lol

I would never accept any OTA update. If root is ever discovered again and it requires the update you can always get it...can't really go back once you have it. On the other hand development for this phone is really slow and I believe root will only be found if it happens to be the same exploit as the newer phones so you may be without it for quite awhile and if the sms/mms issue affects you then you may want to take it. I know it is tempting but think about how it feels not having root just because you wanted the newest update.

+1 Be careful. If anything, just see if you can DL it without loading to phone. That way we can take a look at it.

Verizon 2.3.5 officially released!

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.

When will the 4.2.2 update come over the air from Google?

I still haven't gotten an update even though I've been clicking "check now." Has anyone gotten the update over the air yet? I'm stock unrooted btw.

Yes they are currently being drip fed via OTA from Google. You either have to wait your turn, or manually install it.

It happens when it happens, be patient. I rarely ever wait for OTA updates and just get them manually, I've already installed and reinstalled this 4.2.2 like 5 times now on my N7 without issues.

Well, considering what I have installed was downloaded from Google's website I would say "Yep, it most certainly is."
It's the same exact file - someone that got the actual OTA update went back and looked at the log file made during the update and pulled the URL the actual archive came from (and the filename, obviously) and that is the file that a lot of us have manually installed.
So yes, it's exactly the same file.
In time we'll see a full 4.2.2 factory image and when that appears I'll most likely redo my N7 with that just because that's the kind of stuff I do sometimes.

4.1.2 to 4.2.2 - is it worth it?
Hi Forum friends.
I live in New Delhi, India & got my N7 from the US in Jan.
It came with 4.1.2; very soon it d/l the 4.2.1 OTA update & till now I've fobbed off the nagging reminders to install it, seeing all the issues that came with the update.
This morning when I turned the N7 on, I got the notification that the 4.2.2 update had been d/l & was prompted to install it.
My N7 is as it came - stock, unrooted- I understand being the lingo of the gurus in this area.
I am an old guy with no ambition to modify my N7; I just want to use it for what gives me pleasure- read/watch/acquire knowledge/communicate etc.
The only mod, if you can call it that, has been to d/l the NMI & watch movies off a pen drive, w/o going thru the bother of loading/deleting stuff via the USB cable; while on the subject, can anyone enlighten me why MX player won't read the srt file off the OTG/pendrive when it can do so when I transfer the folder containing the movie+ the srt file onto the tab via the usb cable? TIA
Qn - Am I better off with 4.1.2 or will 4.2.2 bring improvements w/o bestowing problems like 4.2.1 did - or is it too early to tell?
TIA & A Very Good Day to all.

Finally got the update over the air. I don't see much of as difference.

Hi, lucky you! I'm still waiting for 4.2.2 OTA.
Actually I've got zero problem with 4.2.1 so far and therefore can't comment on the issues people tell of. So 4.2.1 is for me perfectly fine. However just because there is an update I can't stop thinking when does it come to my device

I think almost all of the people are already on 4.2.2. If you can't wait, just sideload the update.

Why is that the downloadable updater's files are dated May 3, 2012? The same was true of the last update. Why wouldn't Google let the timestamps be whatever they were when they were went gold or were last updated? It's disconcerting to update with files dated 10 months ago for a brand new release.

I think the time stamp refers to JB in general and since 4.2.2 is still JB the stamp hasn't changed and will probly change when KLP is released, but this is only my theory.
