That ROM has been out for awhile, it's called bamf forever.

I posted on their page about the ".....and more". Am curious as to what that means.

What SMS/MMS issues are there in the first issue of Gingerbread that they would be correcting here?

 

[Ed Witles]

I have the locked bootloader (thunderbolt_patched_hboot). So this should *not* undo that?

Thanks!

I was on vacation overseas when the first update was released, so I'm still on Froyo. From the looks of things, I got lucky! I hope this next update, when released, isn't buggy.

I'm going to guess that's the resolution to the "sent SMS/MMS to wrong person" issue in Froyo. I certainly haven't seen any SMS/MMS message issues in Gingerbread stock OTA, well, at least not any new ones.

I've been running this for a few hours now and everything seems smooth. I downloaded the file from my phone went to androzip pro found the file renamed it and moved it to the root of my SD card. Then I followed the instructions from android police. I didn't know if it would work because my phone is stock and not rooted. Then I went to the market reinstalled myback pro. And restored everything.

I'm 99% sure that this issue was resolved even with the first issuance of Gingerbread. I haven't had any issues since getting the update, and I haven't noticed any reports of it either. The issues I've seen with the SMS/MMS is the fact that when the phone is plugged in something weird happens sometimes where it doesn't want to type the message properly. The other problem I've seen is if I am trying to type a message to someone and a text message comes in it screws with the message I'm typing sometimes. Those are the couple of texting issues I've seen, but I wasn't sure if others are seeing the same thing. Also, another one is that I can't get my phone, when on vibrate, to vibrate when a text message comes in. When the phone is on vibrate and a text message comes in it acts the same as if the phone was in silent mode.

I agree. I think the "change log", as it were, is referring to the improvements since Froyo -- as if GB was never released. Remember, their press release said that GB was going to be "delayed", as if it never happened (for one day ).

Exactly. My point was that the "changelog" includes fixes since Froyo, since most stock Thunderbolts out there are still on Froyo.

It's only us geeks who sat there hitting the "Check Updates" button with the tenacity and enthusiasm of Jack Russell Terriers who got Gingerbread.

So Verizon's changelogs are going to include issues that affected Froyo users (SMS/MMS sent to wrong person) AND the brand spankin' new issues that affected only OTA Gingerbread users (voicemail notification, front-facing camera no workie in Google Talk, etc).

Here's hoping they took the time to get it right. This time. OK, more of a "wish" than a "hope", but a guy's gotta dream...

I doubt vzw/htc techs would spend 5 seconds working on a fix for google talk.

I've done that in the past when still on 3G (took forever to download though). Now that LTE has been turned on where I live, needless to say, it was VERY fast to download today! (gotta love that ability). (Haven't flashed it yet though as I'm at work) You didn't mention it and may have already done so, but I'd highly recommend anyone using this method download a MD5 checksum app and run it against the file to ensure the file integrity is good before flashing it, just to be safe.

Have you been able to confirm the voicemail notification issue is fixed now? The big question though; is this going to be the official OTA?

I REAAAAALLLLY hope that Adr updates his "Side Project" with the NEW leaked base!!!

That is BY FAR the best ROM for the TB.
