Okay. So I don't have the link to the PDF but you can get it from Verizon's website. Apparently this does not contain info stating that this update is Gingerbread, unlike 4.06.605.2. Weird. Devs and Mods: delete or move post if not in proper part of forum; no hard feelings.

EDIT: OTAs have begun. See www.phandroid.com

While some of this... like "Successfully play audio files from a message." is awesome, I fail to see how some of this makes any sense.

"VZ Navigator™ now operates over Wi-Fi." Yup, wi-fi while driving down the highway, am I right?

Actually here in my area they recently put free wifi access all along I-94. Works pretty good but signal gets kinda low in some spots, probably between antennas.

I posted in the thread in the General forum but I'll repost here, in case devs don't go there. :) I have the update and I haven't installed it yet. The phone says that it has been downloaded and verified. If I can get something off the phone in this state that can help the devs let me know. I'm thinking the phone downloaded a file that I could copy and post or something. I just don't know where to look for it. It says the update is 87.8M

Darn it! I wish I knew where they downloaded the update too.

Try doing this from a terminal emulator window or adb:

Code:
find / -name *.zip

and see if you see a zip named PB31IMG.zip

Thanks Todd. I appreciate you doing this. I didn't see your post in the general cause I rarely go there.

Found this in the desire forum. Would this work for the incredible as well?

The OTA .zip files which are downloaded from a Google server are not signed the same way as the RUU "rom.zip" files - they use the app .apk manifest signing method. (manifests and certs a la "jarsigner").

If you are interested in looking at the process that HTC/Verizon uses for the OTA updates, you can get the URL for the OTA zip the following way:

Run logcat on the pc and accept the update on the phone

$ adb logcat > logcat_accept.txt

This will sit like this (it continues to log output into the output file) until the phone reboots. At that point, the adb logcat job will terminate, and the name of the zip file will be indicated in the logfile in a message similar to:

W/SystemUpdateHelper( 64): !!! REBOOTING TO INSTALL /cache/desirec-ota-104882.7b1e5cca.zip !!!

Then, take the name of the file and paste it on the end of android.clients.google.com/updates/partner

Guys,

Been trying to get ADB working but the package won't install. I have to head out or my wife will murder me. I won't update my phone until I try this out though. It might be tomorrow until I can get it done. Hopefully someone else will help out with the file. If they don't I will. Sorry for the delay but I gotta go.

Pardon my ignorance, but what *is* this 6.3MB file? Obviously it's an OTA zip file, but it's quite small.. this lone file updates the stock 2.2 ROM to 2.3.4?

    Ok guys sorry it took so long but here it is. I made a zip of the boot.img and system.yaffs2.img. These were made after a fresh install and a factory data reset. The only thing done to it is i have obviously installed cwm 5 and also the superuser binary. I hope some devs can do some good with it and get it deodexed and made flashable for all of us GB lovers.

    Download system.yaffs2.img and boot.img pulled from a full nandroid

    Here is a screen shot of the software information page.

    Does it show the new version number under system in settings?

    BTW what changes were you expecting? This late in the game I would think this is a very minor update.

    Ohhhhhh and also could you post or rehost the new .zip you made so I (or others) coudl try and flash it?

    No it does not show the new version number and all files are still same size. I wasnt expecting major changes but i at least expected the build.prop to change. Here is my modified file if anyone wants to give it a try.
