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

[cmybliss]

lol!

 

[CyHawk]

I had the update last night. I kept hitting the install later to see what it was and what issues there were, and now the update is gone. I'm still on 2.2. Not sure I want it. I have been thinking about rooting, just haven't worked up the nerve yet.

If you get the 4.08.605.2 not 4.06.605.3. Please post right away.

Will be interesting when the fix hits

Looks.like Verizon has.pushed the old one in a mass push instaed of a rollout

Would be interesting to find.out who.doesn't have gb ( not root) and when new version hits.

 

[johnt519]

I for one got 4.06.605.3. It does seem that Verizon just pushed the main GB update, to get everyone on the same level and will then push the update update to fix the bugs in the update.

 

[hrbib21]

'Low on space' definitely does not go away with GB update. In fact, it brought back the error on my phone.

I'm confused. Isn't the .3 later than .2? Why would you want to know if someone has the older one. For reference I got

6f37e6f6b9ab.OTA_Incredible_C_Gingerbread_S_VERIZON_WWE_4.06.605.3-3.26.605.1_release_210690.zip

last night, and I captured it. I have not applied it as I have some things to do first (I'm rooted and use this crazy app NotEnoughSpace to free up the damned /data/data space, and it won't unwind).

The update was waiting for me this morning. I held off installing until I had a chance to come here and see what problems people were having. I guess I can assume that my root will be lost with the update? Rooting this thing the first time was such a pain. What is the easiest root method on the streets now?

Thanks!

Unless you have S-off you will not be able to root after the update until a new fix is found (please corre3ct me if im not exactly right)

You don't need root to back up (or restore) angry birds saves...

Care to elaborate? That is a pretty cryptic response

I hit Install Later several times this morning so I could research what this was before accepting it, but when I finally hit install now it said "phone rebooting in 10 seconds..." but the screen just disappeared before it ever finished the countdown. It never rebooted and now I no longer have the update option.

 

[jikhead]

Mine was waiting on me when I got up, I told it to install and walked away. I came back but nothing happened. It should've still been installing. Still says 2.2.

ME TOO JFUNK.

+100 on that..... I am not sure I will update either....2.2 sucks as it still is opening apps all the time and running down the batt life, but the possible problems ofan update that already has known problems and possible???future patch fixes bothers me to no end..... Doesn't anyone beta test anymore.....oops....sorry.....forgot we are the guinea pigs....I mean beta testers for them.

 

[slanch]

got the update, (it went through easy and relatively quickly.) I noticed that i didn't have my SD apps accessible, so i unmounted my card and remounted it. Didn't seem to fix the problem, so i waited about 15 minutes, tried again and all my apps were back no problem.

 

[micallen]

It only took about 10 minutes overall, and I don't see much change yet.

I'm just happy to have my phone for about a year and a half, and I'm still happy with it. That's a first!

love your screen name.

 

[Sharondippity]

love your screen name.

Thanks- I've used it for over ten years now wherever I go.

Similar thing here. I kept saying later. After reading here, I figured I'd do it over lunch. Now the update is no longer there and it says my phone is up to date. It's still at 2.2.

 

[jrmckins]

Got mine yesterday. Time to close this tab.

 

[WhizGidget]

Got mine this morning. Seems to be running fine except for apps being missing. I'm going to the sticky tab in this forum about that, and we'll see what happens then.

Reboot your phone. It was back when I did this on mine.

We're waiting for 4.08.xxx- it should be the fix. We're currently on 4.06.xxx. Read the numbers more carefully.

Bob, you missed the second number in the version. Looks like the newer version is 4.08, where the current version being pushed out to everyone now is 4.06.

 

[micallen]

I accepted mine, but after reboot, it didn't load. I'm still on 2.2. And it tells me I'm up to date. How can I get the update back? I've re-booted 2 or 3 times and no change.

 

[CharlieD]

Reboot your phone. It was back when I did this on mine.

Nope. I'll wait a while to see if it re-downloads.

 

[thedillz]

Yeah, reading that again I really didn't help much did I?

Sorry about being a bit off topic. You can delete this after you look into it.

I'm not sure what S-off is, but thanks for the confirming what I pretty much knew was the case.

Just for info's sake, here is my current versions, prior to the update:

Android: 2.2
Baseband: 2.15.00.07.28
Kernel: 2.6.32.17-g9a2fc16'
Build: 3.26.605.1 CL264707 release-keys
Software: 3.26.605.1
Browser: Webkit 3.1
PRI: 1.70_002
PRL: 30070
ERI: 5

I have NOT let the new flash install, yet. Not sure that I want to. I depend on my rooted hotspot for my company, so I don't want to risk losing that for any extended period of time.

 

[MedfordMan]

Strange - I checked this site today, noticed that people were receiving the update, so I went into my phone settings and the update had already downloaded by itself. I just had to install. Anyway, the phone seems much snappier to me. Screens load and scroll MUCH faster. And I like the "fade" transition thing going on.

Is there a list anywhere of what is new? I'm talking about a list created by us, rather than the one published by VZW.

 

[jikhead]

Reboot your phone. It was back when I did this on mine.

I've tried this a couple times and nothing. Guess I'll wait and see what happens this afternoon.
