I am worried - I rooted using TB Auto Root, and I got this update pushed on me (but deferred it). I did rename my system/etc/security/otacerts.zip file to otacerts.zip.bak, but it still is asking me, what do I do?
I would flash a new ROM. That should tasked care of your issue.

So, is this update real? Are we getting it anytime soon? Next year?
I don't think it's real. Mortiel (VZW employee) usually gets notified of these things a month or so in advance. He's heard nothing as of today, according to his post. The word was that it would come on the 15th (tomorrow). I suppose, sooner or later there may be another Thunderbolt update, but I doubt it's the one this thread is about.

But... we'll see.

Wow! So I guess time will tell then. I'm crossing my fingures.

No changes have been made to the VZW support pages, and no new software builds have leaked. These are two signs that no update is coming today or even imminent.

you're wrong. there was an update announced today: i just got an email announcing the availability of the galaxy nexus. that's the best update a tb owner can hope for. glad i got a one year contact; I'm eligible for renewal in exactly a month. bye bye tb.

I am happy with my ROOTED TBolt and I give it about a week or 2 after the UPDATE is released that BAMF, INFECTED include it in their ROMS.

According to what is new....to me it isn't a show stopper and would make me UNROOT my phone.

The only thing that interests me is "Resolved issue with contact ringtones". I don't TWITTER, I don't use Exchange....but I will defaintely reflash my ROM when the Dev's put it in theirs.
