    Thunderbolt will not do OTA updates from 2.2.1

    My phone was doing the exact same thing and I called Verizon and they recommended a factory reset. Then when nothing changed and I was having the same problem with not being able to upgrade to gingerbread they just sent me a new phone. I got it, upgraded just fine to gingerbread.
