[Q] is any one still waiting on 2.2 to update OTA?

I'm still waiting on the update. Dose it matter if I'm rooted or not and wll I lose root when the update hits?

I have had no update to my firmware as of yet.

2 things. Did I miss the update being released? And I have yet to load a leak because I need infrastructure wifi. The update will remove your root and you will need to re root after you get it. Also, the update probably won't install ota if you aren't running stock rom/kernel. At least the other updates haven't installed with modified stuff.

I thought 2.2 was suppose to b pushed nov 11 if I'm not mistaken. And I'm still running everything stock just rooted.
Could any one reccomend a good coustom 2.2 kernal to flash to? I don't think I wanna wait too long for 2.2

2.2 source is not out yet. No custom kernels until it's released.

I've been using the quantum rom for a couple days now and the only problem I've had so far is it force closes when I try to use my flashlight program. Other than that everything works great so maybe you should flash it if you want 2.2 right now.

the OTA hasnt been pushed yet. if you are rooted already, you will lose root.
if you're not running custom ROM/kernel you won't get the OTA.

You mean if you are running a custom rom. What about clock work? Will that cause any ota problems?

I stand corrected.. oversight on my part. Custom ROM/kernel will not get the OTA notification.
If you have the stock ROM/kernel, you'll get the OTA notification.
If you're rooted and using stock ROM, you'll lose root. Might lose custom recovery as well, but I'm not sure on that.
What I'd recommend, if you ARE rooted and you have custom recovery (clockwork), then wait for the release (like we all are) and it WILL show up here.
The Devs/chefs are all over this and waitng just like everyone else.
Patience is the key.

I flashed back to 2.1 stock last night. I'm going to wait for 2.2 OTA before I root again. Then I will wait a couple weeks until some nice stuff gets cooked up here on xda and is nice and stable before I flash any custom 2.2 items. I can wait.

I'm pretty sure everyone is waiting..

Yeh I guess ill just wait...guy at the sprint store promised 2.2 by the end of october and 4g by the end of november. I guess they will say any thing to sell a phone -__-

I have been twiddling my thumbs for weeks waiting for the 2.2 OTA update. I got so impatient one night that I started downloading the necessary tools to root and install a leaked 2.2 version, but quickly settled down and decided to wait it out.
I also downloaded Samsung Kies; I am running Windows 7 64-bit, and the program will not boot from the .exe under any conditions (as administrator, under XP compatabilities, etc)... I have yet to even be able to see the program's interface or find any legitimate documentation for troubleshooting the software.
No complaints with the phone yet, but I am seriously disappointed that I have had to wait so long for 2.2... Samsung claims that this update will allow for quicker future Android updates, but I am taking that with a grain of salt considering the false announcements that have been made so far regarding its official release.

Oh, you're still using 2.2 ? I'm on 2.2.1 from more than 2months and there is a hell of performance & speed difference in 2.2 & 2.2.1.
I would say just keep away from this ginger update as it is not worth to update.
Flash your SGS with JPJPM which is the 2.2.1 Froyo for Arabic region and it includes Arabic/Urdu/Persian. I'm using it and its excellent. You can read/type in urdu and browse all urdu/arabic websites which you can't on those european roms.

hmm let me check. but i am afraid i wont be able to get official updates through kies after this

No No.. Don't afraid it's very easy. And I am here to help you anytime. But remember to make a backup of efs folder before flashing anything. Don't hesitate to ask any question.
And by the way who uses KIES when there is a lot easier & time saving way.. i.e. Odin..

I flashed my phone using odin to 2.2.1 but then whenever I check the firmware version it said Csc unkown, but I was getting the signal so I let it be.
Now I'm looking forward for the gingerbread update and kies won't show my firmware version due to the csc problem. How can I update it to 2.3.3 now via odin? Help?

Find xwjvb firmware from xda and flash it via odin. Its awsome.

It has no arabic/urdu support bcoz it is released for the european region. And there is no major performance difference in 2.2.1 and this update. So i'm on my 2.2.1 JPJPM which supports urdu/arabic & is very smooth rom just like XXJPY.
We'll have to wait a while b4 they release it for our region

When they release it for our region, i'll switch to that one. Till that time its gud. I didnt find any flaw in this rom except urdu support. It has google maps 3d, new youtube and quite faster than froyo

Well something starnge happened with me. I got through KIES an update yesterday for Gingerbread but did not have time to go through with it. Today KIES shows that my current FW is the latest one. What is wrong here?

get the darkyy patch for arabic.

No idea.. It will take longer as usual..
And you're saying this bcoz you're shifting from 2.2 to 2.3.3. And you did never use 2.2.1.
All those things you're talking about (Maps 3d, New Youtube etc) have been already integrated to 2.2.1.
So for me there is no difference in 2.2.1 & 2.3.3 other than a new visual theme. So i'll stick to JPJPM (Froyo 2.2.1) till they release 2.3.3 for Our region that supports Full arabic/urdu. Asia usually gets update very late compared to European Region.

RoyalGinger is as close to stock as you'll get, although any gingerbread roms will have some bugs since they're using dumps and ports for their base rom so once the update comes out we'll have the kernels and correct drivers etc. Making for a now perfect Rom hope I helped

It will definitely be out before the end of June, so if you can wait that long and you're wary of rooting, it should be here within 9 weeks.

Thanks for the heads up. It's about time they said something. Sounds good, but I'll wait till our Devs get there hands on it. Don't want the same issues some people are having with the EVO 4G update. Don't want to lose root, and have to wait.

The leak that is over in the Android Dev section has sense 2.1. I wouldn't expect the final release to have anything different.
This will be good once the kernel source comes out, and we can get some overclocking going.
Also, once the kernel source comes out, this should give the kingdom rom port a shot in the arm, as we will be able to OC that rom, and make it run like it should run.

Shift deck is AOSP, right? This is the sense rom update. You should only update to this rom if you want a sense rom again.

I will be waiting to install it as well. The root process on this phone is already involved enough. It will probably be a long time, if ever, before it gets rooted again after they patch the root method we are currently using.
The one thing I am curious about is if we are stock rooted will we be able to ignore the notifications about updating or is it going to constantly notify us to update forever?

According to Sprint's twitter account, the OTA is available now. I'm rooted, so I'm not going to mess with it, but for anyone who isn't rooted, and wants it, go get it...

I didn't receive the update either. Google cancelled it I believe because it broke USB tethering, which people use a lot more than voice search.

As stated, the update killed tethering, both USB and hotspot.
As for why you did not get it, the explanation is simple. When El'Goog push out an OTA, it does so to a set percentage of phones, as each day rolls by, they add more and more phones, untill over a week or two period of time, all phones get the update.
with the 2.3.6, the update got canceled before being released to all the phones, your phone just happened to be in the group that had not received it yet.
Now as to why the current one failed, the 2.3.6 that is listed in my sticky applies to ONLY the i9020T/i9023 and NOT the i9020a, so the signature will fail.
if you grab the OTA from the thread that is listing ALL ota's, it should apply, if you still get a signature failure, please state the ENTIRE message as it should indicate what fails the signature.

I got the update last night cause I'm using the i9020A and I'm currently on 2.3.4 ... it failed on me when I pressed install...

2.3.6 that was released on the AT&T/GSM version was pulled several weeks ago. The rollout of the fixed 2.3.6 for that version of the Nexus S has started rolling out as well. There's not a tethering issue with the 2.3.6 that is rolling out to the T-Mobile version.

Has anyone noticed any differences between 2.3.4 and 2.3.6?
I mean in terms of speed, performance and stability.
Is the update really worth it?
