Thunderbolt update

[Maddog241]

I stand corrected. AS of this morning at 5:50 am the page had not been changed. CHecking now I see it has been changed with the new build information.

Odd that this new build didn't leak prior to this...

Well, I just checked today at Verizon Wireless website and saw the info for the new update. It is over 36 MB. I guess that it should be rolling today or later, as Jude said above.

I just talked to a Verizon rep and said that it is supposed to start to roll tomorrow. Let's see.

Haven't been on much today, but this thread has been very active since this morning. I checked the Verizon Thunderbolt software update pdf. It does show a new update. Nothing on the phone yet though.

So if I have s-off with Revolutionary and I download this update just for fun, will it mess up my phone?

I just wouldn't do it. If you do please for your own sake make a backup first.

My employer just installed an Exchange server for e-mail, and it is working very smoothly with the stock e-mail client. I have not had any issues, so I wonder what needed fixed or enhanced.

Okay, okay... UNCLE! I believe it how

Holy $#(t! This update includes both a new CDMA and LTE radio! Cool -- I hope!

Better radio performance is something to certainly hope for. B-)

Yeah, I felt like a total idiot today when I asked one of the guys in my department if there was an update for the Thunderbolt, and he told me they had it approved 10 days ago and sent back to HTC... I've been bogged down with all the Galaxy Nexus and eHRPD reprogramming nonsense that I apparently completely missed it. Sorry I misinformed everyone!

 

[Antiseen]

What exactly is this "update" updating? Better radios would be cool. I'd love to get those if they're better than the latest ones. I haven't had too much trouble with them though.

No problem, Mortiel. We all appreciate the info you provide here!

I would really like to hear more about that eHRPD reprogramming though. What's that about?

Helps if you at least read a little of the thread before posting. It was listed in here twice.

Its just corrections from the last outage. We want to avoid future nationwide 4G/eHRPD outages.
