I'm an ex T-mobile user with my rooted Vibrant uvij5 running on At&t. Will I be able to get the Froyo update via Kies stateside or will I need to make changes. I've waited waited for this update and don't want to miss out.

I would say update to an official release (JI6) to just be sure. So many ways to brick our phone so just take every precaution.

That's what I was going to suggest. . I updated my phone through Odin and had no issues at all... I'll probably do the same with froyo..

In my ROM manager it says my ota is not set up to receive updates. So that means i won't be getting froyo through a live over the air update will i? Btw i'm on an unlocked rooted vibrant.

If you are on AT&T like I was, I never received the ability to get the OTA update. I was able to get it by using Kies Mini at http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa...ID=2&PROD_SUB_ID=557&PROD_ID=560&AT_ID=340607. This is for the JI6 update, I hope it works the same for Froyo.
Well i'm on my local which is cincinnati bell. Also how do i know if i have the JI6 update or the JF6? i'm sorry for so many questions but i'm fairfly new to developing and am trying to learn as much as i can because this forum has so much knowledge.
Just to bust everyones bubble, the update currently rolling out is only for the I9000 model(base model) and cannot run on US phones. And I don't see the US carriers releasing this anytime soon to us and they always take the slow road. At the moment I am thing that a mid November US carrier release sounds about right. But I really hope that I am wrong!!!!

I hope you are right and not wrong, I wouldn't mind the update in November because that's probably the quickest time, we will get it officially. (now to 10/31/2010 will be JI6 OTA, so november sounds good to me).
Since T-Mobile took its sweet time getting JI6 out, with no problems unlike what I heard about the Captivate update, then I wouldn't mind waiting for it to come out during the holidays.

Not 100% sure, someone else correct me if I'm wrong, but:
Menu button > Settings > About phone > Build number

I'm not sure which ROM Manager you're talking about. ..Never heard of setting which controls OTA updates. .. the best way of getting the update is through Odin in your case...

Once you open ROM manager there is a option that says "Check for ROM updates"
Under that it says "your ROM is not set up to reveive OTA updates. Please contact the ROM developer!" In those exact words down to the exclamation point.
That is for custom rom like cyanogen whenever it come out. The rom manager has no control over the stock rom

According to people, you should (assuming your t-mobile) but there is a high chance you might soft brick. Unroot yourself just to be safe when you do apply the update.

Since you're unlocked and not using the T-Mobile network, you won't be able to get T-Mobile's OTA updates but you can still update your phone officially by using Samsung Kies Mini (or if you're brave enough, you could be able to flash it with ODIN as soon as someone releases the update on the dev forums). ATM, I wouldn't be bothering with Froyo just yet since T-Mobile hasn't made a peep about it. I'll just wait for it to appear via Kies Mini (well, either that or just ODIN it).
So the day OTA was released I didnt get it so I found a dl link and flashed it... but today I flashed. 26 then ota to. 57 but I can't get the at&t message for ota to. 83 and when I manually search for it in the phone or on computer it says no new update.... im on wifi with 60% battery.. any ideas

You could always download the SBF and do it yourself. Otherwise, you just need to be patient and wait for it. Imagine how much could go wrong if they tried to push it out to every Atrix on the network at the same time. You'll get it when they push it to you, don't worry. I'm still waiting too.

It got pulled it will go out sometime here soon.
I downloaded something before it got pulled. I can't install anything but here is what I downloaded on my phone.
It initiates the updating software wizard but since I can't install anything on this computer, I'm curious to know if it is any different than what is currently available on the motorola.com website.
WoooHoooo just got OTA
Just got OTA in Alabama! Wooohoo
Is this OTA update going to break root?
I got the update notice as soon as I registered the product (which I hadn't done until today after owning since April 20th). Make sure that you've registered your phone on motorola.com

It did not break root for me. But even if it does, others have said it's easy to re-root.
Just got it in Maryland this morning. I have been going crazy. But to be honest did three speed tests and 2/3 had barely better than what your showing; third was four times! Got it over the air. Nothing to write home about unless you are dowloading video I guess.... Still, I was in your shoes yesterday and going nuts. I decided to just wait and not try all the crazy download sideload stuff......pushed check for available updates and what do you know????
Downloading
Downloading mine right now, from Colombia.

yes it does. superuser.apk will still be listed, but nothing can get root. i just used the old method of copying my su over to /osh before i ran the update, then copied it back after
received OTA now..
ATT unlocked phone,
NOT beta tester!
the next time i f**** up my device i ll need only one sbf flash!!!
Just saw the update pop up on my phone. I am only on Wifi as well.
Did a quick google and this seems to be the updates with the new Homescreen (with themes!)
I won't pop the update as I am on an unlocked BL. Probs gonna wait till someone posts a flashable update.
Not available for me...
Nothing here.

If you relock your bootloader you can OTA without any issues you wont get the DRM certificates back though

Got a UK unbranded Xperia Play here and no update........still. Seriously why is it taking so long for the update to be released for the Play when it's out for the Arc and Neo. Not impressed :|.
I got a message about new firmware update available for my 3g international version (rooted) today. I was out of network connection when I saw it so I haven't tried downloading it yet. Any idea what it is? ICS possibly?
Hello techspy,
I got the same notice, however unfortunately I am at work and there is now WLAN connection available. I will try it later at home. ( I have no root!)
Greetings
Its not ICS...only 11.87 megs Dang...
Wonder what the update is? Hope I don't lose root.
no notification on my UK tab 7.7 - even when I query the update manually.
what is the update?
Well I just installed the update. It says "Device updated to version P6800ZSLA2". No idea what was changed/updated
no Update
no notification on my tab 7.7 - even when I query the update manually.

I think this update has been around for awhile. Kies is showing mine as having the latest firmware (LA2).
LA2 has been out for a few months now.
Hey guys I'm on Ics but I used to be in att 2.3.3 but this morning I got a text from att saying
AT&T IS PROVIDING A CRITICAL SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR YOUR DEVICE. Please follow screen prompts to install. Thank you.
This is the # I received the text from. 1111487600
PS- if this update is legit and it only is a modified version 2.3.3 then I reccomond upgrading to 2.3.4 using wotan server then upgrade to pvyparts teamstock until u get ur bootloader unlocked.

I got it too, but Im on 4.0.3 KA13 at the moment. I thought AT&T was on 2.3.4 already so it must be a different 2.3.4 firmware like .62 maybe. I would like to know what FW it is also. But I don't feel like contacting AT&T right now.

I just called at&t to get official info about this. They said it was build 3.0.1.B.0.285, which has been out since April. They could not tell me why they sent out a sms about it being a "CRITICAL UPDATE". I recommend NOT getting this update as it will remove root access and as far as I know there is currently no way to root .285.

It is indeed build 3.0.1.B.0.285. I was rooted before I ran the update, and I did not loose root access afterwords. Whether or not you can root after you update if you are not already rooted I do not know.
If you OTA the update you can keep root, but if you use pc companion you will loose root. OTA would not work for me so I had to use PCC, lost root, then had to flash back to .270. Sorry, I should have specified about OTA vs PCC.

You can't do OTA if you are "bootloader unlocked. And about critical-"It's *critical* that AT&T and Verizon come out of the stone age!! We are almost on Jelly Bean.lmao. They just push these out to catch one of us with unlocked bootloaders slipping to force us to buy a new phone.
