If anyone is going or went to the T-Mo store to get the update today and had the leaked version and the new update worked let us know. I have a feeling it won't. If it did, did they check the phone or anything before doing it?
Thanks!
I would call ahead to the store and check if they have received the SD cards yet. The store I work at still has not received them yet.
Or apply update yourself, download it from the tmo forums or xda, rename the file PC10IMG reboot into bootloader, holding volume down and power until it boots, then it scans for the file and continue from there.. its so easy

Does that really work ? I thought the update.zip file is different than the PC10IMG.zip. Will it work with the leaked 2.3.3?

They are different files. Renaming the OTA (update.zip) to PC10IMG.zip does not work. Someone will have to post the PC10IMG.zip from the T-Mobile SD card.

Oh ok, think i skimmed through and saw it posted like that.. probably was the leak version.. but either way, its basically like that.. rename it to update, boot into recovery.. then click apply update

I'm waiting for someone to post the PC10IMG.zip file myself. I'm running the leaked gingerbread but I don't feel like going through the trouble of downgrading to 2.2 so I can update to 2.3.4 when I can just load up the PC10IMG.zip file.
Eventually the files will get posted, I'm just waiting for the cards to show up at my store.
Just went to the tmo store by me. They haven't received them yet. But at least they seemed to know what I was talking about .

what are the odds the store update will work over the leaked version? I've tried everything to get my phone off the leak and it wont work. it keeps locking up at the debug step trying to temp root to do the downgrade.

It would probably have to, seeing as the leaked version was sent out on replacement handsets.

It worked. A store I went to in South Tampa where I live had it. Now if I can figure out have to root it.
I hope someone posts that file soon , I'm going crazy just setting up adb.
Edit: Ive quit even trying to set up adb, for whatever reason I'm too retarded to
even set it up, let alone use it.

it was a major pain...i got adb setup but the programming instuctions I had to type I got stuck on one part, not sure why. But the stores version worked thank god.
I got the whole adb downgrade thing to work , until the very end, where it didnt try installing the update, instead a adb failed and said my drivers wouldnt work
After 4 hours and combining steps from 2 different downgrading guides, I got it to work. I didn't notice anything really different between the leaked and ota.
Anyway I have a feeling the 4 hours of frustration was less painful than going to the store.

Did you do the downgrade after rooting? If you didn't get it, vzwsupport on twitter say to go to a store and have them push it to you. I'm in the same boat.

I disagree. It took an act of Congress to get root and install a new ROM just 8 months ago. ****'s cake now.
Well I went through a little time being nervous too but I read and read and just did it. Never asked 1 question. Still rarely do. I'm just saying if this is how the journey is starting it's gonna be long.

Doesn't matter for achieving root. That doesn't come into play until your flashing recovery/ROM/kernel.

Well it's mainly because most of the root procedures include flashing a new recovery/ROM. The idea of rooting in itself isn't device specific. It's simply adding the su binaries to the ROM.
I don't know what Hboot is and i don't know if i have 32a or 32b. I have like 250 mb of memory I think, I read somewhere that 32b has 192? I dunno.
My baseband is 62.50SJ.20.17u_2.22.28.25
Kernel 2.6.32.9-g93b855e
build number 3.56.531.1.cl300801 release keys
How do I know if i have the correct USB drivers installed?:
You NEED to put your phone on USB Debugging mode
You NEED to install make sure the Android drivers for your phone are installed
Make sure you DO NOT mount your SD card.
If you still can't get something to run, try doing it in recovery mode.
I know I can mount my sd card when I use usb, but does that mean the usb drivers are installed?
Do u have sdk installed on your PC?
Sent from my Dream/Sapphire using XDA Premium App
I have SDK installed on my pc, but I don't know how to use it.
Well I used that oneclick root and it worked. niiice, although when I go to emulator and type SU nothing happens, but when the program did the root test, it said it was rooted. so I don'tk now
I am not sure on even how to get into any mode after phone is shut off. I want to try installing some roms, but obviously I need radio and spl to install. I don't know how to do that with the MT3G
When u open terminal u get
$
When u type su u should get a new line with
#
Does this happen?
Read the stickies at the top of this general section. U will find all the info u can handle on fastboot,adb,sdk and so on

It wasn't a random "comment". XDA is a database like all forums, so even if you already knew the answer yourself, it's important to correct misinformation for anyone who may come across this thread in the future.
Not cool of you to get mad at him when he's just trying to help you.
That kind of an attitude will just deter people away from even wanting to help you out.
Just sayin'.
To answer your OP, why not use the Froyo PD15IMG.zip? Are you trying to unroot your phone?
Using the GB PD15IMG.zip probably wouldn't be the best idea even if it worked. Because if it worked then you're stuck at GB which can't be rooted ATM.

I want the update though. And last time I did the froyo zip while perm rooted with gfree and stock hboot, it bricked the phone. I'm trying to collect all the info first cause apparently I want supposed to do that unless I have eng hboot.

Then why not just flash the update? There's like 3 flashable versions out there in the developmental section.
I flashed it last night, not that great. Don't know how you could choose that over Virtual Unity's Sense 3.0, but I guess to each their own.

No you cannot flash roms and mods when you are temp rooted as you have to reboot. When you reboot you are no longer temp rooted. Be patient things are sorting themselves out ,a dev is on it people are trying to get him devices so he can achieve full root.
Might as well get use to stock roms... could be a WHILE!! lol no one even has a clue. all we know is a few people are looking into it. with HTC having a stick up there *** and not releasing the GB kernal/rom we are stuck waiting.
no, you need full root
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=936
So I was in g2x forum, and they said you can flash a recovery without root. Then with recovery you can flash a rom.
Don't know if it works like that with our phones though.

Completely different phone. Perm rooting is dependant on the hardware's boot loader security. With the GB update on the shift hboot got updated and changed the security.

I am not responsible for any destroyed phones. FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK. IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO FLASH THIS, YOU SHOULDN'T BE FLASHING IT.
Just kidding, just put the file on the root directory on your sd card and reboot into bootloader. It'll prompt you to update. You have to be rooted to flash this.
I am running ThunderShed 1.5 with IMO 6.10 Kernel.
I flashed it and my radio version are as follows:
Radio: 1.49.00.0406w_1
LTE: 0.01.79.0331w_1
Have fun!

Yeah, if its just the radio's it doesn't even touch your ROM data/system stuff.
Gonna give these a shot, hoping for the best. I'm running the same setup as you, OP.
I can mirror if needed, I'm not a big fan of the sharing sites.
No issues and too early too tell if this radio is better but thanks for the download.

i do have the new radios installed, but just got hung up on the reboot after the install. I have 4 bars now on 4g when i used to only have 3 bars in same area. So far so, so good. Also running LiquidSmooth 3.2 with xoomdev kernel. Maybe these radios are something to help step up to that ICS update coming down the road.
