Samsung froyo update

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.

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).

Still haven't received OTA

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!!!

New Download Available!!! Check your system update status

FYI Folks, I just did a system update check and there was one available...downloading it now.
Hope you all are as lucky!

If it is 1.86 then it has been out for a while.

Ok, now I'm panicking...it downloaded the firmware, asked me to install...I clicked yes and now I have a fuggin Triangle with an ! plus the android bot...WTF

No, it was 4.1.83.en.US
Do I need to unroot for it to install?

I am assuming your rooted? and deox? i would say you would have to revert to same procedure when 1.5.7 came out. Ie: restore bloatware/deox files

It downloads and reboots phone, it than starts extracting file and thats where it craps out.
K, looking at how to de-ox, new to android..only had this for 2 days.

Thanks for nothing liar. I have no update in NY. Also not to be a ****, but this should be in general unless your posting the sbf

Not lying...and if I knew how to do that I would...I was running stock rom, rooted and I had manually uninstalled some of the bloatware.
Anyone got a quick link to how I deox this?? no biggie ill look around.

I can say you aren't lying cause I am getting the message too. It says it is 1.83 but the weird thing is is that I am on the bell atrix but I used Seven's method to install GingerBlur so it says I am on att but I am actually on 1.4.2
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

Update is available OTA in Portland, OR this morning. 3 people in my office have the Atrix and we all had the update available this morning.

They are probably going in batches guys just be patient it is rolling out in Dallas, TX i've been checking every day just got mine this morning takes about 15 minutes total and your on 2.2.2 and HSPA

If your new to android why would you not like the rest of us READ the fourms before 1. Posting in the wrong section 2. Ask a question that can be answered by doing a little research 3. Root without knowing how to revert back. We are all here to help as long as your not a donkey!!!!!

The chat support told me this:
The software version 4.1.83 is already being rolled out. It will be released by batches to all AT&T and Motorola Atrix.

I was getting the same error, I think it was because I tweaked my build.prop . I restored my build.prop from a back up version and now the update is going through.
only things I modified were build.prop, sideloading, root. I'm able to update without restoring to a previous stock image.

Bell Atrix Gingerbread OTA available!

Yes it's finally here!

Oooooh, someone install it and get a cwm backup =P

I've tried rebooting and going to Settings -> About Phone -> System updates, but neither way gives an update notification. Is there any other way to bump the update, or do I just have to wait until Bell decides I get to download it?

I went in my settings/About phone/system updates
and it says : '' Your Device Is Up To Date ! No update is necessary at this time. ''
Hum.. Maybe it's because I live in Montreal ''?'' they have to translate everything...
Well, I hope I'll have the notification soon.. !!

Im trying to download it over the bell network and its been 1:30hours and im only at 90% Use your wireless boys if you can..

Nothing for me yet.

Nothing in Calgary yet

How big is it ?? Just wondering, because if its available tonight ( and small enough ), I'll try over 3G. Otherwise, I'll have to wait until tomorrow. This time, I plan on making a copy of it. Here's the link for those that need it.

After installing this, you should be able to unlock the bootloader and do pretty anything you like to the phone. Unless Bell went out of their way to modify the Motorola code and *not unlock* the bootloader. In which case we're all screwed.

Ok. I got the update screen at about 3:30PM. I'm in Newfoundland by the way, so of course that's Newfoundland time.
I was rooted and had a number of apps frozen in Titanium, so I defrosted all system apps and used Gingerbreak to unroot (which is what I used to root).
I downloaded root checker and it says I no longer have root.
I took a screen shot of the update screen, which tells me the update is 145.7MB. (see attached).
I'm about to head out for an hour, but am going to click Download and let it run while I'm gone.
Does anyone think I should take any additional precautions before installing? (Given that I was rooted and had apps frozen.)
Is there anything I do to help the user community here? I'm fairly technically capable, but not a lot of experience with Android. I could follow a decent walk-through though.

That's weird because I m in montreal and I called Bell.
They said that they have no news about updates beside the one in june !
They then transfered me to motorola directly and even they said the update is not ready yet !!
It should come out soon but it s not now !!!!!

Hi,
Did anyone manage to capture the zip file yet?

Is there any difference in this build versus the Orange France version?

I just checked and no update available.
I bought my Atrix in Toronto.

Update message?

My wife's phone just said there is a new update available. I did not let it install. Anyone else get this update alert?

Not yet, no ota or via kies. I'm on Rogers, i know it's not ATT but since the S2, we had all updates a few days before ATT which is the sister company in the US and nothing here yet. Can you check and see if is this long awaited update samsung started rolling out 2 weeks ago?

I have AT&T version of S4 and did not get any update notice and nothing shows up on check updates.

Well, from what I've been reading it's possible in addition to the update, they may be trying to patch Loki, which is why I was hesitant. I was messing with it to get rid of the lock icon/custom boot up. I tried flashing the stock Rom with Odin but it only seemed to flash on top of the Rom already installed. Then once it boot up, the update management thing kicked in. It's possible it was just triggering the first update we got a few weeks back, and not a new one.

If this isn't about the "BMEA" update, please have it deleted or locked. Another Update thread that isn't about an update isn't helping anyone. Nothing personal, but people need to confirm what they are posting about before they post about it.

people also need to stop acting like moderators.

How am I going to verify it, if I haven't installed it yet? If it indeed was the new update with a patch for Loki, I am not the one who wants to flash it first.
