UPDATE

The OTA is slowly rolling out across the country...

Manual 'OTA' Update:

(for the impatient)

Download-

Revamped Manual Update Instructions

1- Be sure the file is simply named UPDATE (do not put .zip at the end). --> the file name should be in ALL lowercase letters...this might resolve errors for some
2- Copy the file into the Root (base) folder of your memory card
3- Power Down phone manually
4- Hold down the Volume Down button and power on the phone
5- Scroll up/down using the volume button, highlight RECOVERY & then Press the Power button
6- You'll see the HTC Logo, then will be prompted with a picture of a red exclamation mark w/ a pic of the phone
7- Now press the Volume UP & Power button
8- A menu will 'pop-up'
9- Choose the option to Apply SDcard: update.zip (by pressing the power button)
10- Give the phone about 5 minutes to finish the update, it may (will) reset itself a few times during the update.

'checking in' directions

*#*#CHECKIN#*#*

*#*#2432546#*#*

This will force a checkin for OTA, but its not necessary. All of us G2 owners will eventually get it.

Begin 'checking in' tomorrow

No offense, but until I see an official release, it is still rumor... This was the case last time, and people got all fired up for no reason. I don't believe TMO reps about 98% of the time. If it happens then great, hope some folks have logcat running.

This makes me chuckle as T-Mobile just replied to my tweet telling me the resets, reboots and other issues are "app conflicts" and a master reset should fix it lmao. Hopefully there is an OTA, I'm on my 3rd G2 and remorse period now, this swapping game is getting old...

Shoot, I have never been through an OTA, does it erase anything? I hope it comes with a little exploit that grants us root :).

i am using a carrier unlocked g2 vision outside the us. any insights on if the RO NAND flash will prevent a manual OTA if the OTA is worth it?

thanks

Excited!!

I wonder how this will affect root if at all. Guess I'll wait to here something before applying update. Just in case

I would suggest that people wait to do the OTA so the experts can look at it and give us the go ahead if it is safe and wont ruin the chances of being able to root.... I am however getting a replacement tomorrow for my current phone if the update is available I will do it on the old phone if the new one doesnt already have it... then I will report back.
