Looks like we can't force the update but can you run the check and hit results button and tell me what the server address is and server up?

Got the update early morning Thursday, June 24.

Firmware version: 1.6
Baseband version: T939UVJE2
Kernel version: 2.6.29 root@sep-56 #1
Build number: DONUT

I was able to trigger the download through Device Management by creating a shortcut of it on the home screen using Anycut. Make sure that Device Management's data has not been cleared, otherwise, Start DM will not work. If the data has been cleared, just reboot your phone and the data will be restored.

The Uninstaller app lists the "Android System 1.6". Can I safely delete this file? It uses 3051KB of my phone's internal storage memory which is now down to 33MB.

BTW, the battery seems not to last as long as before.

Do you have a data plan?
 
No update for me, 4:10 EST, St. Petersburg, FL.

Soooo, when I did the whole "network selections" thing earlier, i only saw AT&T. I redid it about 4am, away from home, and had the choice of Tmobile and AT&T.

Does this mean the phone is unlocked? Is this normal? BTW, I've only had the phone 2 days, got it off Ebay, and haven't explored too much, due to me THINKING 1.6 was going to be coming.

Okat, It came up again & here it is - and what i received in the Messages;

Congrats. a new software update for your device.
To proceed Press next.

This will take 10 minutes, you can't make calls etc etc.
*clicks start*
Your Phone will now reboot.

Reboots; and everything looks the same like nothing happened. No status bar, no packet unloading, nothing. Now I could be wrong but the Dev Man. arrows pop up for like 5 seconds after this part. And the 3G Icon shows usage for about 2 seconds.

After anxiously waiting 10 minutes (again) *also during the 10 minutes no 3g(apparently being used, and no alerts*

Boom! nothing.

EXACTLY the same thing happened to me when I checked the phone this morning.

This sucks harder than a Dyson vacuum cleaner.
 
I've never seen the device management arrows. How do I even access device management? Again, I have a stock phone, never rooted, etc.

Hm, same thing happened to me as well, i was on t-mobile UK, but didnt have any money on the card so the update couldnt download (it still said it would reboot and install it though)..
The t-mobile update server is only reachable from within the t-mobile network, so it wouldnt be able to download from your local wifi connection (unless it's a t-mobile wifi)

On the T-Mobile network, 3G good signal. Never rooted, I removed Task Killer and PandaHome and I have the correct version number as listed on this thread.

Very poorly handled by T-Mobile especially as there is absolutely no word from them anywhere on this mess. It's like they just want to ignore it and hope it goes away.
 
I gave up. I ran at stock for a week. I saw the arrows and was even prompted several times that an upgrade was available. When I agreed to do the upgrade I was within seconds prompted that my phone would restart in 5 seconds, after which nothing.

I'd like to have vibrate working. Take 5 has too many bugs in it for me (Not Eugene's fault, more the files he received from Samsuck) and I was hoping this release would at least make the phone usable.

I flashed back to the Galaxy Rom this morning. If someone posts the upgrade ODIN files I'll go for it, otherwise I'll live with what I have.
 
Hey everyone just forget the ota update and i am wondering what the progress is on the odin file that bh_man is making how long so we can just update it from the computer instead of waiting for tdicks to release it.

I looked and I don't see a post of him ever saying he would make one. I seen one where he said he will try to root the phone if you can get him some files but nothing about releasing an odin file.
 
!! Official 1.6 OTA Image - Progress Update !!

Since I was on vacation this weekend I was unable to finish the image files for the OTA update. I will work on this in my spare time to have it out by tomorrow at the latest if no problems are found.

I will be creating a rooted and non-rooted image.

Other ROM images based on these may come out later. I will look at requests but please no PMs.

WTF, that BS, I got the last update, why not this one?
 
Note to everyone: Please stop posting what the CSR's are telling you. By being on these forums, you are already more knowledgeable than them. They are literally getting paid to listen to your complaint, and will not know how to help you 95% of the time. They read a computer screen for crying out loud.

So please, stop posting what they're saying because they do not know anything about this topic. Thank you.
 
I just called to make sure my IMEI number was correct. It wasn't, it is now. This is in case updates are pushed by IMEI. It looks like the IMEI on the account records are not automatically updated when you put the SIM in a new phone. With wrong IMEI they won't even know what phone I have. Now for another night of waiting.
 
Hello!

My wife and I both have the Behold 2. We got it without the data plan, as I have wi-fi at home and office. I have been watching my phone pretty closely for the update. Went and checked my wife's phone (not frequently used) and she had got the update. I had to reboot it, and that was it. Mine, nothing. Both phones are stock.

Regards,

Emil
