If you are rooted and have custom recovery it will most likely fail to update. Remember if you update it will break root too and until there be a root method be prepared. Need to know more about the update such as does it upgrade the firmware and modem also. :)

So will it fail while updating or will it update and restore stock rom /root (break) root?

Most likely with custom rec it will fail, that has been the case in most updates but don't hold me to that. With stock rec it may over write the system and break root even tho it preserves your data. We may even still be able to reroot with same method. But custom rec will not work the same ither, so as Mel Gibson said, "Do you really wanna!" This is where the fun begins all over again. :)

This link is showing you how to manually update by going to settings/system updates on your phone. In the link it shows the same Baseband with the new 4.1
try it see if it works :)

Oh yea I forgot most of ya'll are on Boost. So who ever Takes the plunge post up some screenies of home and settings menu. I see some camera enhancement listed too.
 
Once the update is pushed I should be able to rip it a part, and build us a rooted stock jelly bean. Its been done in the past
 
I'm sure they're the same thing, just on sprint. someone with a sprint force should download it, see if they can root, then give us a copy.

I assume that it won't be "pushed" by ota. You would have to manually update thru settings/system update. I also assume since Boost uses sprint they would have it but not sure.
 
yea, we got that same stuff for the warp sequent, about 6 months before they actually update anything. have fun holding your breath people lol. and the sequent was pushed ota, so when it comes out it will automatically download to the phone, with all the wonderful bugs too lmao. but yea itll be a while guys so dont get too excited yet
 
I'm looking at buying this phone. I see the boost site says it has 4.1, but I see these threads here saying its not a 4.1 phone, so I'm confused. If I bought a new Force from boost tomorrow, would it be 4.1 or not?

It is getting 4.1 but if you bought it right now you wouldn't get it fresh out the box. Your gonna have to join the waiting game with us. Its still a good phone though

Currently it is still 4.0 ICS. Update has not been pushed ota yet. Sprint models can possibly update manually thru settings but nobody is willing to test it yet either. ;)
 
Too bad. TBH, I have a fairly ok phone, I'm looking to upgrade but *only* for 4.1
I want the new 'Keep' features.
I'll keep a watch here to see if this comes about, but I'll keep looking till then.
Thanks for answers. Much appreciated!
