ThunderBolt Gingerbread in testing at Verizon

[ambushbug73]

I don't know why they would patch root exploits when they (HTC) said they wouldn't lock any boot loaders any more because users have the right to customize...Course it could all be Verizon's doing.

Because it's two different things really. Patching the root exploits is more of a security fix, it doesn't mean that they still won't unlock the boot loader.

Yes but the evo has been waiting for 2 months to be re rootd so if you want to root do it soon.

from page 5 of a document titled;
"Verizon Wireless Technical Statement in Response to Skype Petition"

located at; http://files.ctia.org/pdf/Comments_Verizon_SkypeOpposition_Higgins_407.pdf

Phase 2 testing brings the devices back into Verizon Wireless' labs, so that we can conduct our own testing on the following services: Bluetooth, BREW, SMS, Enhanced Message Services (EMS), MMS, Wireless Application Protocol (WAP), data throughput (uplink and downling), data connectivity, battery utilization, standby time, Over the Air Service Provisioning (OTASP), and OTAPA, FOTA, PTT (if applicable), BREW pre-load applications, user interface, LBS, MediaFLO, call processing origination/terminations, and long call test. In addition, an internal user trial is also conducted during Phase 2 compliance testing. The internal trial is designed to collect more subjective feedback on the overall performance of the handset and its associated applications.

After phase 2 device approval is complete, Verizon Wireless device teams review all the test results to make a determination whether fixes to the device are so critical that a launch delay is required, or if minor adjustments to the device can be made after launch. If there are no "show stoppers" for a device, it receives technical approval and is permitted to be placed into queue for future retail distribution. At no time in history of validating device specifications and performence of a handset and its associated applications, have the Verizon Wireless device teams ever encountered a new device that required no modification from the original specifications submitted by a device vendor prior to the launch of the device...​

it then goes into a good deal of marketing mumbo-jumbo about why Verizon's phased testing and feedback makes the products that they bring to market, better than that of their competitors.

I'll be happy if it fixes the horrible connection dropping issues introduced by the last update...

I just want GB so I can root and get all the bloatware off. Hurry the F up Verizon

You can do that now, with or without GB, but you may not be able to do it when Verizon rolls out their GB for the ThunderBolt, at least not at first.

I still haven't seen the OTA update that "everyone should have by Sunday". Las Vegas has it at even money that my TB will get the OTA before the GB upgrade...

Well the fact that there's a new radio leak is more evidence that a GB ROM is in testing.

Don't be greedy, they they can't give us everything at once. Skype is slated for MR17.

Looks like this week.

 

[Mike_is_Mike]

I am hoping for a late July release.....
If testing goes well....

I'm hoping for late June release....well, looks like I got the late part right......

Classic... except I was thinking a nice round number of 64... more of a computer number.

1024 is a computer number too. Thunderbolt Gingerbread is going to be burnt to a crisp by the time they take it out of the test oven.
