Hey guys! sorry for the excitement, but i just found out how to force the update onto our Indulges!
(I'd like to thank all of you for the effort on this phone, in regards to rooting and ROMs, so this is me giving a little back.)
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE DECENT BATTERY POWER, YOU DO NOT WANT YOUR PHONE TO SHUT DOWN WHEN UPDATING, THE CONSEQUENCES ARE UNKNOWN.
First, some background:
I got my Indulge on june 8th, after my Ascend fell into a pool, the first thing I did was come into these forums, and Root it.
Then I found out about this antenna update, which better'd reception, and some people report Longer battery life ( Which Im in dire necessity of)
So i started looking around, and reading, and basically, the update is Random(Not Anymore hehehe.)
So i started fiddling, and found out about the Hidden Menu, here is the walkthrough:
** TO DO BEFORE YOU UPDATE **
Update your PRL to at least 3019 ( Latest at the time of writing)
There are guides out there on how to do it.
**Forcing the OTA Update onto Galaxy Indulge **
1) Access Hidden Data menu (Go to phone dialer, and dial ##3282# )
You'll see a menu:
User Name
Restore
etc
etc
etc
FOTA
2) click FOTA, itll ask you for a unique (Not the universal) SPC this is how you find it:
a)Go to the Market
b)Look for MEID
c)Download MEID Converter ( By Ghassan Idriss )
d)Go to Settings>About Phone>Status
e)Copy the full number under IMEI (on paper or w.e)
f)Open MEID Calculator, and enter your IMEI (They're Unique)
g)Get SPC and copy it down (It's 6 Digits)
Now go back to ##data# hidden menu ( ##data# translates to##3282#)
Go to FOTA and enter your SPC.
Now Youll see another Menu, do the following (In order):
1) Select "Retry Timer", Youll see things like Critical Retry, Major Retry, etc... Remove the last TWO ZEROS from each number( I.E Critical retry is by default 300000, make it 3000) FOR EVERY OPTION, then press OK.
2) now go to DM Acount, you should see metropcs, touch and HOLD IT until a pop-up appears, click "Activate", now click and HOLD again, then press "Start DM"
3) This will send you back to your Main Screen.
now, SET YOUR PHONE DOWN, DO NOT TRY TO DO ANYTHING ON IT!
Give it a few seconds, (took about 30 for me)
and Your phone will give you the Update message!
Let it update, it'll reboot, and you're done!
Good luck, And I'd like to see some feedback, if it works with everyone else.
Hooray!
