Update! Who's going to try it first?

[cbreze]

Saw this earlier. Is it really GB? they don't list alot of decent changes. I'm on the fence for now, or at least for the next few minutes

Ha, Ha. Downloading now. I'll report back.

EDIT: Still checking it out, seems smoother over all. Time will tell if battery is improved. A solid install after the 2nd try.

 

[BLACKTOOTHGRIN]

It's installing now.
I imagine the UI looks quite a bit better though.
Good to hear it's running smoother.

It fails on my Rooted Commando.

 

[cbreze]

I actually had to DL it twice to get it on. Unrooted.

 

[Rafael]

cbreze; were you ever rooted?

 

[cbreze]

No never rooted. You going to unroot?

 

[Rafael]

Yup. Already did.
Since I unrooted, my first try at the update has failed. Working on 2nd try now.

 

[cbreze]

2nd one'll be all aces.

 

[Rafael]

Nope.....failed again.

Will re-root, install everything I removed, then unroot and try again.

 

[cbreze]

Nope.....failed again.

Will re-root, install everything I removed, then unroot and try again.

Rafael, did you actually redownload the whole file, because thats what I had to do, not just try to re- install the first download. In any case, good luck with it. I'm diggin' it, enjoying it the more I use it.

 

[Rafael]

Downloading it each time is the only way I know how to do it.
You know something I don't?

 

[cbreze]

Lol, nope. Was wondering earlier where the heck the first file went. I redownloaded the whole mess again also.

Okay, this is just stupid. The only thing I did not restore was the browser because I apparently deleted it somehow...

Does anyone have a Titanium Backup copy of the browser they can send me?

I think I'm going to call Verizon and let them send me another phone because I just got this thing. This is the same error I got on the other phone for the first update - IP_PREVIOUS_UPDATE_FAILED.

I've restored everything, I've even performed the dreaded factory reset and I got nothing. Oh well, time to spend an hour or so on the phone so I can get this thing replaced.

 

[Rafael]

Just did a factory data reset.....trying the update now.
Will let you know.

If I get it running again, I can send you the Browser.

Really hope I don't have to unroot and re-install all the crap in order to install this.

 

[Rafael]

No go. I have tried everything: unrooting, full reset.

 

[gpsjunkie]

Took two trys for update to succeed. Seems fasterwifi is better but can't reroot.

 

[Rafael]

You got the update to work on a previously rooted Commando?

 

[gpsjunkie]

Rooted but apps only froze not removed.

 

[Rafael]

Wow. That has me thinking.

 

[Rafael]

rjglenn;
What do you make of what gpsjunkie has done here?

 

[bw2982]

Anyone have a screenshot yet (assuming it looks different)?

 

[KBoicourt]

I think I may have a full Titanium Backup of the Commando if you still need it.

I haven't been able to install the new update either, as I have a rooted commando with some of the crap taken off of it. I suppose I'll just have to reinstall everything and start from scratch to get it?

Anybody else have any luck getting the update with a rooted commando with or without all of the files?

 

[RAYJAY193B]

Upgraded both new phones work al ot better than the prev version both phones are still stock

 

[bw2982]

Has anyone successfully updated a phone that has had Verizon crapware removed?

If not I can hopefully system reset and get Verizon to swap it. I've had it less than 30 days.
