Official OTA Update coming Feb 1st?

Has it been confirmed that the Official OTA Update for devices locked to ATT will start rolling out on Feb 1st? Does anyone know anything about this?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

does anyone know how to use search or google? if you cant find info on it, then its probably not true. im not on att so i wouldnt know but if you are, maybe asking them directly is your best solution since xda forums arent att reps
here is the thread that is already discussing the update from att, hth and hand
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909951

a few sources (via google search) are reporting the Best Buy has released info stating it will happen on Feb 1st. Is it true? Have to wait and see I suppose...

Cool. Thanks for the response muscleshop!

I don't know if you guys know this or not but when you buy the unlocked streak from dell they ship it out with stock 2.2 froyo.

ships with 1.6, but updates to 2.2 once you've started it and checked for update....

I received mine with 2.2 installed. It was delivered on Jan 18.

Yup. According to the dell website it ships with 2.2 already installed in it. I'll confirm that wednesday when it comes in the mail.

i believe only unlocked devices come with 2.2, all locked devices are still stuck on 1.6 since carriers have yet to release an update for the streak

Last time I was on dells site, just last week, you could order with 2.2 or 1.6 and it is stated that they get 2.2 with ota. There was a slight price difference

Thats correct. Unlocked streaks come loaded with 2.2 already installed.

You know you can upgrade it to Froyo on your own, without any annoying att restrictions/branding on the it. I was like you but got sick of waiting and loving it and would recommend the process to anyone

+1
Read the articles on the QDL repair tool & video and do it yourself.
It's quick & easy, and you won't have the bloat from the carrier rom.

This has been confirmed in an employee newsletter and also with
Best Buy customer service! Woohoo !!!!!!

Thanks guys...

Confirmed with Best Buy and a Best Buy employee newsletter and several internet sites and posts!

Confirmed!

Final freakinnllyyy.....
Tomorrow is the big day I can sell my Streak on 2.2!!! hahahaahahaha

i feel bad for you people in some sort of way. you guys been waiting so long for this update and not even sure if its going to be released tomorrow. while people like me who just ordered his unlocked streak that already comes preloaded with 2.2 sorry to hear you guys have to go through this. if it took this long for you guys to get 2.2 i can imagine how long it will take to get the eclair or gingerbread or even honeycomb.

Exactly my thoughts which is why I did it myself and will keep doing it when new firmware comes out cos I am sure att will find a way to mess it up. Just waiting for gingerbread

new update via OTA

I got this update this morning via OTA.
XWKI1
Android version2.3.4
XWKI1

lolololololol

What firmware were you on before?

try plugging in to kies to see what it says?

XXKF3
If you could remember i was on this Dummy update so i decided to go back to xxkf3 this morning . Immediately after installing through odin i checked for update via OTA and i got this

Nothing here,i run KE7 2.3.3

Has anyone else got it ?

Somehow you have ended up with a test phone i reckon .
jje

You mean the phone i bought from very.co.uk for 600pounds with my own money should be a test phone.

You are lucky, on the Sensation forums there was a guy who bought a Sensation and got by accident an eng off, rooted phone whilst the rest of the world was stuck with a locked bootloader.
I guess for devs your phone could be worth more than what you paid for it

Well maybe am lucky. I was wondering really why i get the update before everybody. The last time was xxkh5 which samsung manage to change to a dummy update. But this time i have learnt my leason .

what provider you you have? csc?

Do a system dump of the firmware!!!!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

We think that these updates are only meant for Samsung staff and some how your phone got added to the list of test phones -- it explains why you and nobody else gets them.
My guess this happen because you installed a leaked firmware from samfirmware.com. Remember these leaked firmware could be test builds for internal staff use only. May be something happened on this leaked firmware that got your phone added to the list of staff test phones.
Are there any new great and wonderful features you can see in this update? (It could be months and months before they release any updates for the rest of us!)

Tweet from Samfirmware.com: First roms with Android 2.3.5 for Galaxy S II will be online this month.
Robbielicious has got the leaked firmware, but it's not yet ready for release: "in my possesiosn but in my believe not worthy o releasing just yet"
Darky's crew are now working with Samfirmware.com (i9000 version released about an hour ago) so I imagine the i9100 version will be released as soon as it is ready.

The ki1 update
The update is quiet good. The new goodies on the update are something
1. on the top where the 3g is , we have h+ and R . It really helps me a lot because formally when i visit our basement at my working place i normally lost connection. after i have to reboot my phone but in this case no more rebooting. The batterie life is very amaizing. Internet super fast.
Thanks samsung for the great work done.

What a joke dude!

ICS just around the corner and GB is STILL not out!

Hopefully it will come with a new radio which can sort out my random battery drain problems.
Despite trying various radios, my battery seems to lose 3%+ per hour when sleeping so with very light use, a charge only lasts a little over 24 hours. I can only assume the problem is the radio as running Watchdog doesn't indicate that there are any rogue apps. I've tried recalibrating the battery to no end either.
As a matter of interest, which radio are other UK users trying at present? I'm currently on 1.77.30.

Exactly, ICS will be out for AT&T before we even get GB here in the UK. I reckon it could be a while yet as our respective service providers have to add all of their bloatware to it.

I haven't got a branded atrix so that shouldn't be a problem for me. But I don't know what I'm doing yet. Because if I restore my stock atrix I could potentially lose root and my unlocked bootloader. Meh the decision .....android is a God damn disease.....must have the new update!!!!! Lol

To be fair Orange dosent appear to have overly bloated it (for a change) Orange Wednesday and an account checker, however seeing as that is available on the market I cant see why it would be an issue, the only other thing I can see is the addition of AP's etc, but again that should all be automatic anyways.......
Orange always claim they need to test it with their network etc but I recon 2 or 3 weeks after it's released we ought to get it *he hopes*

i find it puzzling that the milestone 2 which is older than the atrix is getting the gb update at the same time. Great news for both of our communities. But time and time again...what the hell are Motorola doing with all there time???? lol

I put a question to Motorola via the facebooks, and they said the update will come out at the same time for orange / t-mobile branded phones as it does for unbranded phones.
Of course given the delays to date I suspect the mid-November date will slip, but we shall see

I've got a Tmobile UK Atrix which I've rooted , unlocked the bootloader etc....
Is it possible to get this phone back to a state where it can be upgraded or will I need to wait until somebody does their magic and creates a CWM image to flash?
I'm really unsure how this works as I've seen many warnings about NOT reverting to Froyo if running GB.
Has anyone tried this?

I'll believe it when see it -Moto talk a lot a Kak.
Roll on the Nexus & I can dump the Atrix

If it's a gingerbread rom flashed through recovery you should be fine. Its just the SBF file to be wary of. If you've flashed a gingerbread SBF don't flash a froyo SBF. or you will get a hard brick.

For sure you will loose Root access but you can get it again under Gingerbread.
Regarding the Bootloader I believe that it's a little bit different and I guess when you have unlocked it you can't go back!
If someone more confident can confirm?

Yeah probably. But it's not a huge issue rooting and about the bootloader. I wouldnt of thought it would touch it. But knowing Motorola they will screw us over. Lol

FYI:
Retail update has been released today in the UK, and (if Motorola are to be believed) T-Mobile UK and Orange UK updates will be released within a week.
OTA servers are apparently running behind but updates can be updated using Motorola's Software Update software.
https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/512793#512793

with luck Orange will have a working copy of "Your Orange" this time too....bloody thing tells me to update then I get "Package not signed" and their CS department are hopeless
Next week is better late than never I suppose

Orange UK update released via Motorola Software Update tool (v45.31.0)
I'm updating now..

Thanks for the heads up - I've just updated my sons Atrix & all went OK.
Seems to run fine on GB 2.3.4 although only tried for an hour or so as it's gone back in the box ready for Xmas

After all of this I have decided to sell my atrix....even bought a play and work kit. But its just not doing it for me. Lol
I appreciate everything all the developers do. But the forums just seem so quiet, even compared to my old desire, that forum is s**t hot still. LOL. It is a shame though as this phone had some amazing potential.

I know how you feel. The Atrix forum, I felt, was never the most helpful of places. When I had my htc DHD, that forum was much more helpful.
Anyhow onwards & upwards - My Nexus came the other day so my Atrix is gather dust, probably chuck it in the bin shortly.

ICS in USA

Hi all, just got an international note on ebay from a woman in Texas. Phone had never been activated. Set it up on Straight Talk and it has an official ICS update that it asked me to install. Lucky me!

I love it when people post totally misleading threads :roll eyes:
Does anyone know the possible timeframe for EUX's ICS rollout? I'm in the US and don't want to root. The waiting is killing me.

Why do you need to root to upgrade to ics? Use pc odin

Not sure how it is misleading. I turned it on and it said there was an update. Not sure why mine only would get the update in the USA. Im not rooted nor do I have any special ROMS.

You do realise that the ICS update availability is based on the actual firmware on the phone regardless of your physical location right? You could be in Iraq, China, Africa, etc, and still be able to receive the same exact update. That means your phone's origin region has ICS released already (check out the ICS released list on the forum). Just because you bought the phone from in the USA doesn't necessarily make it a USA phone.

That is your csc, your phones csc. You can change it but would likely have to change rom to stock from that country to getvthe csc you want. Plus you will get data wiped and doesnt always gaurantee upgradability, sometime may need to try different stockroms from that cscs in order to upgrade throught ota and or kies. Tedious proces.
On that note, samsung should have smartified their multi country rollouts. Less roms to maintain, etc. This is ridiculious lmao

They need to make translations for specific countries,or another reason.there is always paperwork,even though it is stupid,and not needed in this case.

I also do not understand the update policy from Samsung. It can not be so hard to roll out a fix for all at the same time(nearly).

i personally find Samsung update policy to be retarded. Acer were able to announce a month or so out when an update would be available, at least Acer Australia would, they might miss the mark by a week or two, but they put that out there. Samsung NZ says they are not advised of when an update will take place until the week it will be released in NZ.
At least to me this is where Apple and Windows are better, they roll out an update it goes to everyone regardless of country and carrier in the case of phones. Android the developers and the carriers screw around to where updates can take half a year to reach the product once Google release it.
weird that you have to wait 5 minutes to edit a mistake out of a post. ok for new members but when you have been a member for over a year.

Well SAMSUNG said that the 4.2 will come until September,so i am using PAC until that moment
I was talking to my friend who owns an iphone 5 and the tab 10.1,and he agreed that SAMSUNGs policy with updating,and updating between devices is crappy.And he laughed when i explained how my 2 gen tab will end on the same upgrade like his 1st gen tab :silly:
