Verizon R800x Users Software Update Today????? - Xperia Play General

Just rebooted my R800x running stock rooted 2.3.4 and I got a MobileCare notice that there was a software update for download. I did not download it, but was wondering if anyone else saw this? Anyone know what it is? Did they actually fix 2.3.4???? I am pretty sure it will bomb out if I download it anyway as I have debloated the heck out of the phone and done many other things I'd have to start over.

You could always make a back up and ftf back to 2.3.3 and it should give you the latest update
Then again I have read that Verizon is rolling out an update from mobilecare... but as I dont have that file (debloated the hell out of this phone) but.. who knows. Did a quick search and didnt find anything related to a update....

I be very surprised if they actually fix it, I might even go as far as calling them and reminding them of how bad and how long they mistake was/lasted

I think it's the Timescape update/fix for our phones... Nothing major

The R800x didnt use timescape, Verizon didn't implement that into any of their releases

The update message seems to have gone away today... strange.
Anyone else get it??

2.3.4 has bug fixes and adds video chat. Plus theres another surprise that google is keeping secret.
The links aren't the update, these are the proprietary blobs required if you're installing/building AOSP and need the drivers.
The surprise is a contest giveaway.

No, you can't flash it since it's an incremental update from GRI40 as the name implies. No you wouldn't brick it, it would just refuse to flash.
The easiest way to see if there is even a chance one can flash an update is just looking at the name. The incremental updates have *build*-from-*build* in their name.

MyTouch 4G Gingerbread OTA version number

Ok, so I was one of the lucky few who received the official T-mobile ota. I went under settings and it said Android 2.3.4. WTF???? I thought they said it was suppose to be 2.3.3? Can anyone else confirm this? Its very odd and Google Talk doesn't have video chat. How is that possible if its android 2.3.4?

Download and rename to PD15IMG.zip and place on root of sd card. Then restart your phone while holding the down volume button. Update when in hboot.
I suggest you read the topic throughly in the link I provided.

Do I need to unlock my bootloader to use autoroot?
How I wish this update would be done via OTA..
main reason for me is I don't want to lose root and to I don't want to flash also because restoring 14gb+ of data will be a lot of work for me.. I'm thinking not to use titanium backup instead I will just copy all my sd card files to my PC as a backup file.. But I fear that if i return all my files back to sd card after update some apps/games might not work properly.
autoroot would be a great idea though, but I don't trust the guy who said it.. I think felix is just boosting his post count by lurking around this forum, giving incomplete details, always saying "there is already thread about that", and other non sense post just to boost his post count.. No pun intended felix..
I think many/most people with a locked bootloader are waiting for the ota (myself included). The ota for the arc xloud update came a while after it arrived on Pc Companion/SEUS so i guess it just a waiting game now for when it arrives.

Im not sure myself since i also have the play but i think it was a few weeks. I just noticed a similar discussion on the arc forum (about if they will loose root) and a few weeks later people were getting the update over ota. But like the last update not every country has had the ota update yet only some.
OTA update 4.0.A.2.368 available + remain rooted (arc)
got the update via OTA today! (Philippines)
and i managed to preserve root!
Yey!

Thats how i did it anyway,you dont need unlocked B00TLoader to use FlashTooL so maybe try that?It may not work though and pretty risky too
I read somewhere you don't need unlocked bootloader to use flashtool but if you try to flash custom kernel via flashtool you need an unlocked bootloader....
I tried ota (uk generic) today but after download I get 'could not install software' error.

Lol. Thats just the disclaimer you have to read before you can even check for updates or allow updating. You have to confirm it. It will then set a schedule to check for updates lik.e once a month. Thats not an actual update. You have to do that on every new rom installation, sometimes straight away, sometimes a while after. Haha
