Fascinate Froyo Speculation and Rumors

[essy]

Do you not all ready have the leaked version? If so, you still received the update? Did you lose root?

"Samsung in cooperation with VZW put out the leaks themselves and the leaks contain a hidden trojan flag. The trojan has collected the ESN's and signatures of all flashed phones. It also detects the use of ODIN or CWM. Even if we flash back to stock and wipe all data the flag will permanently brick our phones and are ESN,s are stored in their "Bad boy blacklist" so we will never receive OTA updates in the future. "

The above quote is all bull sh**? right? Not to sound like a real ass, but it could happen so that's why I am even asking. I'm at work and checking up on update info then came across this, OMG, that would really be a downer.

Yes, its a joke that someone posted. There is no world where that makes any sense at all.

Verizon doesn't really care what you do with your phone as long as you are paying your monthly bill. Thats their revenue stream, their bread and butter, cash cow, etc. The only time they are going to give you any grief is if you become a 'support problem' by repeatedly screwing up your phone and asking them to fix/replace it.

Why would they spend time or money for any of that.the only thing they would spend money to truly prevent would be free tethering. using hacked phones is legal and irreverent to them .

[DroidXcon]

They accepted the bricked phone or you fixed it with odin

[Q] samsung fasinate - bricked my phone - verizon tecs clueless - xda-developers

I did get them to send me a new phone, which then would of been my third. I wound up fixing it via ODIN, and keeping that one then returning my first & third. The tecs said they thought that the phone slipped through the cracks. It was a certified new phone, which basicly meens it was tinkered with like we all do here. lol...

So how did you get the update? Did they push it to you? text you? I am just wondering.

Any time you flash in a stock build you will lose your root access.

I got the FroYo update from Verizon. Just received a package with a little Fro attachment for my Fascinate.

It's FroYo

So how did you get the update? Did they push it to you? text you? I am just wondering.

ChaoSki did not get the update. Just someone trying to mess with your head and it worked. If Verizon had pushed out the update these forums would be flooded with people posting that they got the update.

 

[Chris Kerrigan]

You can bet that if it was being pushed out, we'd have reported it on the front page.

That too

So with AT&T's FroYo for Captivate coming out tomorrow, does that make Verizon the last carrier to officially update their Galaxy S device? Anyone want to put together a version of the leaked 2.2 that can be installed via Mac?

The Mezmerize on US Cellular is basically the same phone as the Fascinate and they don't have Froyo yet either.

And another month comes to a close.

Supposedly Samsung plans to have Gingerbread available in Spring...not if Verizon has anything to say about it!

LOL. I hear Verizon is coming out with a brand new phone of their own with what they consider to be the latest and greatest in software.......it's a stone tablet and chisel.

 

[Clak]

Well the stone tablet would have fewer compatability issues....
