And. AT&T caught on to the pushing your date forward and stopped that, the entire point today.

Did anyone try using Kies Air or Kies to see if ATandT did the right thing and put the update there? My computer is a bit slow now so can't try it.
Kelly it might be normal for AT&T to "stagger" updates and mess with timer programs, but it isn't for other companies and ATandT sure charges a lot for their services. They should give us same respect.

My manual update took all of 5 minutes and my phone works perfect, I was out till Jan 20th and after the update the date is back to normal. Super easy guys for us impatient ones. Just make sure you save it as a .zip file. Your phone unzips it automatically. My wife traded her note1 in for the 2 today and her update was available right away. Weird I have had my phone since the release and I had to do manual. The factory reset you guy's talk about is it soft or hard after the update? I did nothing and no issue's. Glta
Read above, long post about someone talking to AT&T.

Will try this tonight, light a fire, some candles, and a voodoo doll in case it all goes down hill....will report back once finished, wish me luck.

Stagger is normal for technical reasons, T-Mobile did it when I was with them. The catching onto the changing the date issue and stopping that isn't about not respecting the customers, in fact it is about people like me not being on edge for tower and server overload.

Sorry, I don't buy it. I saw the post you are talking about. I've also seen dozens of other post where people are talking to ATT customer service reps that don't know what the hell they are talking about. Why should this be any different?
Hmmm..maybe cause it has now blocked updates, but whatever..push your date to 2018 if that makes you feel better.

The link from plastikman on xda developer site has been dropped from the Dropbox site it was on.
I think this works best if you download the file to your PC or MAC
You can then right click on it and rename it. Just type over the entire .CFG filename with "update.zip" (without quotation marks of course)
Then copy from your Mac or PC to the external card on your phone. I did it using Kies on a Mac.
It's so simple to do, but I can understand how some people not used to doing these things may have initial difficulties.
Much easier than sitting around playing with the clock for hours on end for an update that may not come for the next few days.

Hi Peaches,
So highlight the entire file name "update.zip.cfg" and delete the ".cfg" portion. So the file name should be update.zip instead of update.zip.cfg. It will have a message and just click yes. Then you transfer that file to your external hard drive. Do the safe boot mode and select install from external sd card. Select the update.zip file and you should be set. It's my mission to get you updated.
