Simple Question to Clear Up My Confusion

[BigRedGonzo]

I have read and read about the GB update for the TB, but I am very unclear about it. I know that VZW started a roll-out of GB, but was it actually stopped? Is there an indication of when it will restart? I have read and read and actually saw a post on another board where they said that they got the update yesterday. Can someone clarify, just for me with my limited brain, what is going on with the GB update to the TB?

Thanks,
BigRedGonzo

yes,it was stopped. there has been a new leak,wich may or not be the next OTA.

2 main bugs need fixed:
1)voicemail notifications
2)htc loggers having access to all your personal info,and is exploitable(read:someone could hack and steal your data)

in a nutshell,no one knows when the actual OTA will start again.may be a few days to another couple months.

if you read something that stated it would start yesterday,that was false.

From what I have seen, the OTAs are preceded with a leak. There was a new build leaked out last week that has the fixes mentioned above - version 2.11.605.5.

According to verizon - this IS the OTA:
