[Q] OTA showed up on my phone few minutes ago(6.11.12). - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hi Guys,
I just got an OTA on my phone. It doesn't say what is it?
I saw on Tmo site that ICS will be manual via Kies and there will be no OTA.
Does any one know what is this OTA?
Im rooted/cwm on stock and not sure if to install or not.
Thanks for the input

Its the LDE update. Safe to install, but you will lose root. If you want more....please use the search thread tool.......damn it.....
Sent from the Darkside, ICS style

Tanks for the reply.
I will get the ICS from Tmo for now until dark-side will make the Tmo version base rom.
Since they are out i dont see a reason to go on the telus rom and might have issue with radio, revered compass and whatever.
Thanks for the reply.
I'll wait.

well you can use the darkside telus version that doesn't have the telus radio.
and do people really download and use the compass app a lot? I would understand if you guys go camping and whatever, but if you're concerned about the directions you're pointed to on google maps then that is not reversed. Maps' "compass" is completely correct.
You can use telus radio and tmobile radio interchangeably because they use the same bands.
So the only issue is the reversed compass (not maps). There are no "whatever" issues lol

Thanks,
I didn't know the compass is the only issue.
No, i don't really need the compass on a "daily base" GPS is better

[Q] Manually update to stock 2.3?

Hey guys, im looking for a friend of mine how to update a desire from 2.2 to 2.3, he doesnt get an update if he goes to about phone -> check for updates (it says its latest version), so i was wondering if there is a method to flash the update over cable on the phone. to be clear, he would like the stock 2.3 from htc not cyanogenmod or custom roms.
thanks for the help guys
Its not out yet. If your friend has a branded Desire, it will take longer for the update to go through because carriers are like that. If it's unbranded then the update should come through straight away.
Swyped...
thank you very much, i searched for that ont he internet and mostly it said coming may so i was confused... thanks anyways guess he needs one of the custom roms ^ ^

There are plenty of 2.3 custom roms but he will need to root the phone first.
Otherwise you have to wait as above!
Ye, thanks, checked them a bit.

Still do not update to sense 3.0 ....
I just want someone to tear out the radio and give me a flashable zip. I'm running android 4.0 so I could care less about the rest of the update.

which ics are you running? the beta in the developers section ?
ok i see it on your signature !!!!
I'm rooted and wouldn't mind keeping it up to date (especially the radio), just wondering about if ill lose root. Anyone take the dive yet?

I'll wait to flash a new radio. I'm sure it will be extracted and uploaded here soon.
I am so tempted to run the new OTA, but I would want quick access to an XTC clip to unlock my bootloader in case anything went as VZW planned.
As in VZW would rather we keep our bootloader locked.
Any one see the Red DInc II avail any more.
Looks like we got the limited edition of the RED Droid Incredible 2.
It's so funny that the Vortex is still going for $79.
That phone must be SPECIAL...
As in VZW tries to pedal cheap junk for more than it's worth.
Yeah, I am hopeful that we get a flashable zip of the radio. Don't forget to check the MD5 sum & have a good flash (when it becomes available).
Look in the thread in the general section. Radio but no md5.

cwr will block the ota from installing if you try
The radio installs fine from the posted zip no problems.
I installed the radio just fine as well but I don't see a difference in signal strength. I'm running CM7 and I still see 4 signal bars.

Is it VZW/Sprint? If so, it might be months until you get it.. that is if they approve of the update anyways. GSM you will get it mid july.. rooted.. you have it right now.

How can I check it? I haven't got even to 4.0.4 so it makes sense for me that I wont be updated..
If I root my phone, will my sms(which arent sycronised) deleted?and what about the rest of my information on the phone? can it damage my phone?
Rooting and flashing ROM's can damage your handset if you don't know what you're doing. Most flashing errors can be erectified though.
Where are you located in the world?
Verizon and Sprint are US based LTE handsets, they arent sold outside the states since they cant work on other LTE networks. Take a picture of your "About phone" page (screenshots can be taken with pressing "Volume down + Power" simultaniously.
Im from Israel.. so its not Verizon probably..

Jellybean isn't officially updated yet mate. You won't get the update for at least two weeks if you have a stock phone. Those of us running it all have rooted phones or were at google i/o and got given jellybean phones.

Have you tried to clear Google framework data and the try to check for updates again?
Swiftkey'ed on my CM9 Galaxy Nexus
I understand your confusion. A Nexus phone should get the update as soon as possible.
I just updated my phone yesterday, thanks to efrant how to guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419170&highlight=yakjuzs
the problem is so many builds, I learned that yakju build is directly supported by google. However, today I learned that the build takju got the Jellybean update. Question what about the rest, yakjuux, yakjuzs, yakjujp.....etc.? I don't know, only android team knows the update process, so I hope they post something about that in google+, but I doubt that.
We have to wait, either get it OTA(which my never happen) or flash the update manually as soon google post the update URL's specified for your phone build.
If you have quadrant standard installed you can see your build under system information.

[Q] strange idea! would it work

Since Verizon is several updates behind on the CDMA nexus. I read an article that said it was possible to update to 4.2. Using the unlocked version of the the software. Any thoughts
What do you mean? You want to install a 4.2 stock ROM on your CDMA VZW GNEX?
If so, are you new?

I'm gonna but I saw the idea on an article and just wondered if it'd work. I'm fairly new to xda the Gnexus is my 2nd android coming from an HTC incredible 1
Yessir, you can have 4.2 on the VZW Gnex. Problem is, if you have to ask.
Go to the VZW dev forum, read the stickies, read them all. Find a 4.2 ROM, read at least the first few pages of the thread. If you have developed an understanding of all that you need to do to get 4.2, then good luck. If you read and still do not understand, then you need to keep reading until you do. If you keep reading and still do not understand, then you will want to just wait until it's made available OTA.
I got pretty good understanding of the process need to put a ROM on it. I'm gonna wait for the ota though. I'm pretty satisfied with 4.1 stock with an unlocked bootloader

[Q] Radio update?

Hi,
I wonder if I need to update radio. Are there some important changes? I bought Galaxy Nexus a haf year ago, rooted and flashed a custom ROM. I do not know if it is worth, And if so, which one shall I choose? I have GSM. I went trhough a post where there were so many of links for radios and just somehow did't get which one I should choose.
Please, can you give me a really brief advice? Thank you!

The latest is FH05 and if you took a 4.2 ota then you should already have it. Personally, I see little difference in signal strength and reliability. However, I have noticed that 4.1.2 based ROMs don't like the FH05 radio very much. Regardless of the ROM I'll randomly lose all service sometimes and have just generally odd things happen. Works fine on 4.2 based builds though.
