smeyrs1012,
It's supposed to be Friday, and it's usually done at night.
Manually check Friday before bed or Sat Morning and we will see...or they could just be messing with us like the did last month.
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

So what's the deal? Just saw the EVO 3D is OC'd. I know it's with a modified kernel, but damm. What do we have to do to get the Source Code released? Ikve sent them about 15 Emails asking what's going on. Nothing, not one responce. Just a yes we received your email. WTF?
Shifted on my MikShifted G v1.1 powered HTC from neverland using XDA Premium App
The EVO Shift is the bastard child of HTC...not very popular and not NEW...so not many Devs working on it, therefore less complaining. I should gotten an Epic. At least then i'd have root. or even a regular EVO. but I wanted a physical keyboard and a smaller device. Shift fit me perfectly...but I NEED root. Boo!
Well I heard back from HTC. So I guess we still have to wait a bit. But at least they answered. Here's the Email they sent me.
You were looking for the kernel source code for the Android version 2.3 upgrade for your HTC EVO Shift 4G. I would be more than happy to assist you with this software inquiry. We will typically publish the Kernel open source code on http://developer.htc.com for recently released devices or software upgrades as soon as possible. HTC will normally publish this within 90 to 120 days. This time frame is within the requirements of the open source community.
If you need any further assistance, you are welcome to send another inquiry through the HTC website by going through the Support page (http://www.htc.com/us/support) then tapping ‘send us an email’. You should input all the necessary information requested on the page.

COME THE HECK ON HTC WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! They are going to wait it out until the 120 days I bet.
I know there are a lot of anxious people out there like myself who are stuck without root and S-ON. I have been setting up my SDK and the kitchen over the last few weeks ( I have kids ). If you want to get involved, here is a quick reference to what I have found recently. What I miss most *now* about not having root is the ability to test my own ROMs on my own EVO.

Great post I'm in......
I don't get all the fuss. Taking an OTA update loses root. No secret there. Were a bunch of people so interested in the official GB that they didn't want a day for a rooted rom?
There are those who lost root due to receiving replacement phones and there are those that are new to the evo and received their phone loaded with the update.

I totally agree. I know that fits my situation. My phone should be out on the truck for delivery today. Got my fingers and toes crossed it has an older build on it.
Regarding this post though. Very good idea and I really hope some people that can get this done chime in. Root is desperately needed back to the Evo.
Forgot to mention that when you register as an Android developer in the market, you become eligible to order a fully unlocked phone; Nexus One and HTC dev phone 2.
More ideas? Suggestions please...

As it stands......no, too many differences between the devices, however it may lead down the right path to unlocking the OG Evo. Believe me, I'm following it (I have a 3D & my wife just got a refurb warranty OG Evo with the update).

Was wondering if any dev has tried to work this issue from the hardware side. Instead of using C++ or Visual or other languages, trying this thru Assembler language. I am a computer programmer but I have not done any work with HTC phones because of job, but I do have some ideas that I would love to share if anyone is interested.

I'm interested. Please feel free to post or PM me with your thoughts. But, I have to imagine the OS still maintains some degree of control (if it's even possible to compile and execute assembly programs in Android). I'm afraid there's probably a reason no one else has done that . Thanks!
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.
http://support.verizonwireless.com/system_update/galaxtab.html
I will check it out and report back tomorrow.

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.
