I don't know if that means anything, I'm still stock and have not gotten the notification either even when I go in and check for updates.

I was, i flashed my unrooted stock backup about an hour ago to see if it would come through... it didn't. Didn't want to be rooted anymore anyway lol, couldn't find any roms for this phone. Still patiently waiting

Same here... Been sitting on Stock MD2 unrooted with stock Recovery waiting for notification but to no avail... Hopefully Darien153 will PM me with a copy of the ZIP to make into a flashable ROM.... [Fingers Crossed]
 
It's easy for me to root the an put recovery back in when punk makes the update cwm flashable go into how to root you will find what you need!

Yeah i read that... i want to call VM and ask but seems like too much. I've only seen about two people post that they received the notification but im in WV , so it may take a while longer to reach me. Who knows

I'm in WV too... Maybe we have to wait longer than the metropolitan areas...

Well that must be. When I tried to flash it, it aborted T-T and the notification didn't come back up.

you must be on stock recovery to flash the ZIP it will not flash in either CWM or ODIN it's gotta be modded a bit first to be flashable...

did it download the update before when you got the notification? if so i can take the ZIP that was downloaded to the Root of you internal storage or SD card and make it Flashable in CWM.

Well any way to get back on stock recovery? And I got the notification. It restarted into recovery and failed. It didn't download anything. I'm wondering how to receive the OTA again

You'd have to follow this guide.... http://androidforums.com/virgin-mob...-guide-return-vm-galaxy-s3-stock-md7-mg2.html

Also it might have already downloaded the first time.... Check your SD card and internal storage for any strange new ZIP files..... They may be the update... It Should be 476.8 MB
 
I did the kies reovery to unroot I think it puts in a stock recovery don't know for shore!
I'm on long island new york no update yet!
 
i checked the root of my internal and external storage and the zip isn't there but it says the update is downloaded and ready to install
 
Well, if they were smart, and I'm not saying that they are since this is VM of course, the would send out a few thousand test updates first and see if there are any problems, then release it to everyone later. Seems like that is how the last updates went.
