New OTA on Verizon Support

[krock2]

Just got my update 10 minutes ago and it only took 5 minutes to complete. Now on 605 and tested voicemail, it works like it suppose to. Created a vm it showed on phone, once listened to vm you can delete it from notifications.

If I'm on the 603 RUU, am I going to get the OTA for 605?

I've been alternating between "No Updates Available" and "Service Unavailable" all day. For the last three hours or so, it's been "Service Unavailable" or some new error I've never seen before "Error: xxxxx" where xxxxx is some 5-digit number I can't recall.

Servers must be swamped and stomped at the moment.

Ah, well, the phone is working, and the only real change I'm looking forward to is the security fix and the front-facing camera for Google Talk.

But first I'll try again, just one last time...

(Located in southwestern PA) I also just received the update notification msg, so I let it install which took about 5mins or so and now I'm back up and running. I'm hoping that the update fixes the Mail app not receiving emails sine the GB update.

I've been hitting the Check for new Software button about every thirty seconds since 7pm till now (7:56) and finally got through. Till now I'd been getting Service not Available. Installing now.

I did notice that the download was not large. It was 13.927 Meg. I had 605.3 before this update. So, it looks like the folks who already have the OTA GB 605.3 version only have to download a smaller "patch" package.

Software:2.11.605.5
Baseband:1.48.00.0906w_1, 0.01.78.0906w_2 (same as GB 605.3 radios)

Just updated mine, no trouble, quick and easy! Hoping to see improved behaviors, like no more strange power downs, weird notification issues, and the messed up ringtones!

Just got mine here in Seattle!

Downloading now. Tried a few times earlier with no luck, even about an hour ago.

Located in central Ohio, about an hour north of Columbus.


Edit: Seven minute download time on 3G. (13.927mb file) (Already had the first GB OTA, obviously I'm assuming this is a patch and for users who do not have it will get the full file?)

Took around eight minutes or so for the install time. It always freaks me out when the HTC and ThunderBolt screens seem to last longer than usual. lol

I just got the update on mine. Just checked voicemail and I am getting the notification without cycling the radio.

 

[JBundles]

got it here in metro detroit about 30min ago... seems stable, havent come across any issues, and the voicemail notifications are fixed, woot!

gotta say, the sound effects on the HTC clock widget caught me by surprise when i picked it up after the update
but, what are these so-called new widgets the update pdf from verizon lists? not sure ive found anything different...

 

[karmajack]

Getting it here now in Eastern Cleveland suburb. Coming in fast.

I just flashed the rooted version of the update. The first one I tried got me stuck at the htc screen. Had to pull battery and restore. Very scary.

Tonight it went uneventfully - no problem. Had a lot of help. That white screen is scary.

Haven't used the new version long enough to know anything but at least I still have root and didn't need to wipe data.

We'll see....

 

[Small_law]

Western Cleveland suburbs. Saying service unavailable. Trying again after restart.

So if I got the first gingerbread update am I safe to update with this one?

Yes, if you are referring to the Verizon OTA GB release that was pulled a few days later after the launch. I just did it myself. (edited my post on the bottom of the last page)

Only thing that scared me was the ThunderBolt screen taking a bit longer than usual. Haha.

 

[Firespyer]

Keep getting service unavailable error when I check for OTA

 

[ggrr8t]

Yes, that is what I currently have on my phone. I will update as soon as it becomes available to me. Thanks for the reply.
