Gingerbread 2.3 was here, then gone, now it's back

[rapidsandroid]

My phone just finished installing update 2.3.4. Took some time, but Gingerbread locked & loaded. Nice surprise for a Monday evening.

PS- I'm ready for Ice Cream Sandwich whenever you are Verizon... I want that People Hub!

 

[seejoshplay]

My GF just got it. Sounds like a rollout!

 

[Mr. Boom]

I just restored back to froyo, and checked the software update tab, and voila, it was already there downloading. WOW

 

[johnt519]

Don't be kidding us now.. that's not nice!

 

[johnt519]

Holy. Crap. Mine's downloading now!

 

[Mr. Boom]

I guess we got a bone after all!

 

[godzilla932]

How do you do this*#*#checking thing

 

[johnt519]

I did a check for update and it wasn't there, then I did the checkin thing, and bingo

 

[Mr. Boom]

dial *#*#checkin#*#* you will get a notice in notification bar when it is successful

 

[cbagz]

This is whacked!!! it still show's sprint in the Market and 4.3 inch WVGA res. and WiFi 802.11 b/g WHERE is my N..... IS THIS A JOKE? It still shows the old build numbers. WTF

 

[Beatlesfan]

I just got the notification to update as well. I'm gonna say no for now, but it's gonna keep popping back up. I love Sky Raider too much to go to anything else lol.

 

[johnt519]

I've got 4.06.605.3 .. yeah, isn't that the borked version? Way to go HTC / Verizon - "we can't fix it, so we'll released the busted one again"

 

[Grandmadroid]

I got it too but am not biting til you guys who know way more than me try it. Standing by....

 

[sugarfree]

omg omg omg.... I was literally turned down today for the Rezound (my upgrade is this coming Saturday) now... I have gingerbread. Unbelievble, and I will now patiently wait to see the Nexus

eta... It also apparently increased my screen size to 4.3"

 

[Mr. Boom]

You guys are seriously getting the same broken version? Maybe they need us all to have that one for the new one to work.

 

[godzilla932]

I did the checkin thing and got a checkin successful but no update.I am wondering if I will get it since I already got the last screwed up update

 

[sugarfree]

Same issues as last time for sure... retrieving all of my apps from SD card now...

 

[FramCire]

I am getting info now. Looks.like they are pushing the old version and then will push the newer one soon.

Strange.

 

[johnt519]

sooo. what's new with gb... other than the flippy clock?

 

[Mr. Boom]

sooo. what's new with gb... other than the flippy clock?

These aren't the droids you are looking for. You will look elsewhere. (waves hand like a Jedi)

 

[sugarfree]

I can't remember what else was broken about it last time... what else shall I check

 

[johnt519]

Yay! Sprint apps! Woo hoo!

 

[Mr. Boom]

Yay! Sprint apps! Woo hoo!

Nice! I flashed back to unrooted Froyo, and i can't even get it to install.

 

[jayDInc]

Argh! I don't want GB! I even deleted the SystemUpdater.apk thinking that would prevent it (nope). Any way to avoid this (other than repeated "update later" presses)?

 

[euph_22]

Nice! I flashed back to unrooted Froyo, and i can't even get it to install.

Why did you do that? Don't intuit for an update. Stay rooted and wait for a ROM version to come out. There will be a 99.9% stock ROM out hours after the first "FIX" otas get pushed, if not before. It will be faster and easier to get it that way AND you have all the flexibility of root.
