Sep 16th Update

[elbaso]

... I keep declining until I know if it "breaks" root

I will also keep declining until I found out if it doesn't work with rooted phones. Hope to find out soon.

It popped up and said an update was available. I installed it. I am rooted again, but I ended up stock flashing my phone to get rid of the kernel. I did reroot and it is fine with the update installed. I can't say the update would "break" root, but you can reroot and be good.

Anybody logcat the download location?

As someone else here said, it probably won't be available for most users until the event this evening. Also, wouldn't they make it available at different times to different people so everyone isn't trying to download it at the same time?

Can anyone confirm that this update will not effect rooted phones? Or is a re-root necessary?

 

[4 Star General]

No action yet!

 

[trooper54]

it installs through recovery, i'm guessing it puts it into root,

it updates certain native apps as well as the media hub. If you removed the sprint hotspot app, your phone will not update.

Here are Samsung's Instructions and information on the update. It's not working for me...

you may need to run the unroot for this update to work. untill its picked apart and a patch for those of us who are rooted comes out.

I am not rooted.

I picked that up off Samsung's FB and Twitter feeds, but have not seen it on Sprint's twitter feed, which tends to be more reliable as the update resides on their servers...

Installed update

The update caused a problem with smooth calendar widget. I had to uninstall the app.

Media hub is up an running. 4G connectivity in my house seems more stable although that could be my imagination.

Is this confirmed? Will the update just fail or will it not download? I might have to re-flash back to stock. Grrrr

No Update here either, I am in Southern CA.

I am not too worried about the update if it isn't 2.2 I remember with palm all the updates "broke" settings and teaks I had, it was exhausting the amount of re-setting my personal settings and tweaks..

I wish there was an option to assign default for core apps like messaging.. ( i want to someone Disable the stock messaging App.

Hancent can do this. I love how customizable this app is.

I feel you completely. I'm just eager to use the Media Hub.

No update in FL either....

 

[caliskimmer]

Don't want to risk this while rooted, I'm scared it might make me have to go back to step 1.

 

[symplistik]

Still waiting. I'm in NC.
