yupperz still waiting for it though hopefully by time i wake up tommorow it will be uploadedI'm sure we all are
And by the time I wake up sunday all you sukaz will have tested it and I will know it is safe.:rock:
Kidding of course cant wait for it to be up and get it flashed.
Can someone tell me why if after unrooting my phone while on 2.3.4 by deleting the SU file in the system\bin and system\xbin and deleting the superuser.apk. then updating to 2.3.6 do I still have superuser.apk still show up?
I used the tutorial panaphobic wrote earlier in the thread to go back to 2.3.4 to unroot and then updated back to 2.3.6, but still see superuser.apk. Can someone please help? What do I need to do?

INSERT LINK HERE
Tried to put su and superuser.apk in it and remove the recovery shit before work but ran out of time. Here's the zip for ROMers, I will release a stock update when I get home that's pre-rooted
It will be flashed via CWM to update
Hey Everyone! Sorry to do a noob post here but I am dieing for this. I just picked out the absolute best mid range phone on the market less than 3 weeks ago and had the TS issue everyone has. Went to BB bought a boost phone and no TS issues. Made them send me another phone, took a week to get, same TS issue.
Difference between the sprint branded phone I have and the Boost phone is
Model Number SPH-M930 Sprint ----------- SPH-M930BST Boost
Baseband Ver. S:M930.02 x.EG30---------- S:M930.02 x.EG29
Build Number GINGERBREAD.EG30---------GINGERBREAD.EG29
Both have Kernel Version 2.6.35.7
I noticed the link above is going of off the boost phone and was wondering if anyone had input on using a boost rom on a sprint branded phone?
I honestly must say I am still confused on doing the flash, but I was able to root the boost I purchased on sale at BB (mainly for testing) with the one click root.
Very disappointing with the screen issue and the supposed fix breaking the wifi, but I honestly love this phone and is probably the only reason Samsung is able to get away with this stuff lol.
P.S. hoping to get the update non root and than one click root it, but hate waiting

thats just the installer.plug it in ur pc and delete it from ur sd card. i had the same problem with tubemate, dude laughed and called me noobie, but helped me out so i can take it, and if this worked for u, then ur even noobier than ME!!!
If you are replying to me, let me check. I believe I had re-formatted the micro sd. Yeah I can be considered a noobie. Let me check and I'll let you know, thanks.

so I used panaphobic tutorial earlier in this thread to restore back to stock 2.3.4 with no microsd in phone. After that I restored from recovery mode and I am still seeing the superuser in my apps. Should I root to delete all the su files and the superuser.apk? if so then what, I'm i free to restore then update?

I am in the same net boat as you, the safe way to go about this is too wait and see... I will be testing 2.3.6 when I get the option to but I will be downloading odin and all files I will need before I try it. If you must try this, I suggest you do the same.

Just a heads up.....
A Samsung tech called me back about the issue. He wanted to know more about what is going on with it. I told him everything I did and that I had to reflash it back to 2.3.4 to get the wifi working. I told him about the static IP setting fixed this issue for some people and that some people are also experiencing problems with GPS with the update. He told me to hang tough and they are working on a fix to the problem and that once they fix the problem, they will be pushing another update to the phones. If you updated to 2.3.6, use my instructions to reflash 2.3.4 back to your phone and wait until the new update is pushed to the phones. I am no longer getting notifications about the update on my phone for the past few days so when the new one gets pushed to the phone, I will try it out and let you guys know if it's been fixed or not. I received the first update around 2am on 5/9 when it was released so I believe I will also be one of the first ones to get it again. I'll let you guys know as soon as I have a working version of 2.3.6!
