Who has the MR2 Update (not leaked)

[Brainfart]

Ya know I could care less about the taking out of the Tether Hotspot I just want my phone to stop rebooting and killing the battery 10% or more every time it does reboot.

Why cant they just send the fix for the reboots and worry about loading the rest of their crap in a later update. I dont have the reboots like some of you have but that should be priority one right now.

That is my opinion. Even the VZW statements have simply said an update will remove the free "offer". Nothing on the phone was ever mentioned. And I, as an IT Pro, see no need to touch the app on the phone. However, that doesn't preclude the possibility of an update for the app. I just don't see the requirement for a new app.

And, about the title of this thread. Do not be confused. As of 11:14: MDT, NO ONE has updated their TBolt with the officially pushed out MR2.

I agree. They only need to change something in their system not touch the phones for that.

If any of you are rooted you should try the leaked MR2 radio. Much better and no more reboots from what I have seen in the XDA forums. Ginger Bamf ROM is really good too with the new Sense elements that are put in there.

You don't need to be rooted to install the leaded MR2. The first version was for unrooted phones, but now there's a process for rooted phones as well.

my phone downloaded a file called firmware update about two hours ago. How can I tell if that was the mr2 update?

Just Saw this on XDA forum

Here is a link to Verizon not having a release date for MR2 via OTA yet.

If your software number menu>settings>about phone>Build number is 1.13.605.7 CL341545 release then you do not have MR2.

I have been a loyal customer of Verizon for years and am pleased with my T-Bolt...BUT.... I find all the rumors and inuendo caused by their lack of relaying information to the customers and even their own people who deal with those customers disheartening. IMHO by continuing to do this they promulgate frustration and distrust by witholding information and avoiding making commitments.
The first commandment of Customer Service "Say what you are going to do and do what you say".

Probably should have stayed out of this but could not resist throwing in my $.02

Nope, mine is 1.12xxxxx. I wonder what the hell that was.....

Will the MR2 update affect our ability to root?

Might have been a failed attempt to download and install MR1. If you have 1.12.xxx.x you still do not have MR1.

No, MR2 will not affect your ability to root.

Same here. I am having about 1 an hour now. I don't care when it is just sitting on my desk but it is now happening while i am on a call. I was going to wait for the OTA but i don't know if i can wait much longer. My Tbolt my have to grow wings for when i whip it across the room out of frustration.

 

[jhowle9475]

the MR2 Update hasn't been pushed yet. The time frame for it to start rolling out is sometime in the
2nd half of june. Check the link below, verizon will update it the day it is officially released.


Software Update: HTC Thunderbolt™ Available Starting 5/13/11

 

[lostnuke]

Well I was going to wait for the OTA. My bolt is a week old. But I couldn't hold out. Got the root bug. Now running BAMF gingeremix. Awesome!

It installed it just now after i checked for an update. I now have build number 1.13.605.7 CL341545 release keys. Looks like i have a different kernel also. Is this MR2?

NO! You now have MR1 like everybody else that installed the original OTA. The only way to have MR2 is if you download the leaked version (will wipe your phone) or root your phone and install the version for rooted phones. Hope this clears things up for you and hope you don't suffer reboots that some users (not the two Bolts in my house) experience.

Im running the leaked Updated MR2 & I there is a file labeled "TetheringGuard" that is built into this build..This could possibly be installed to prevent the free tethering.

I've had no problems using Wireless Tether with the MR2.

 

[Who?]

Although interesting, I don't see any evidence that VZW has "blocked 4G tethering" anywhere at anytime. Result; frivolous or inapplicable lawsuit.

Remember, in legal documents, words matter!

-Frank

Words do indeed matter. This is a complaint to the FCC, not a lawsuit. It's not frivolous. If it were a lawsuit it would be unripe and requesting an advisory opinion, but again, it's not a lawsuit.

Good point. Still, they haven't (yet) blocked anything. But who knows, maybe this will make them think twice.

I was on an important call 2 weeks ago and my phone rebooted on me 3 times within 30 minutes. So far it hasn't done that again while I am making a call but it's getting very frustrating with it happening multiple times per day lately. Yesterday I hit a record 8 times within a 15 hour period. I'm trying to hold out for the official OTA but my patience is wearing thin..... I don't want to get a replacement phone when I know it will just happen again and not thrilled about getting a new phone all together so I'll wait till it comes out and try to keep calm and tell my self it will come........it will come....:'(
