Software update from ATT

[Bigluc]

So I just got a notification from ATT saying that there is a software update available. Has anyone else gotten this and installed it? Is it jelly bean or a minor update? I haven't tried it myself because I am rooted.

Yes just got it I'm Rooted & S-OFF
it won't be jelly bean since the ONE X series doesn't have it yet haha just a minor I bet

Can someone detail this update?

*Edit* Called AT&T the Update was released October 9th it an 13mb update so yea Minor the girl
on the phone was talking to fast for me to listen what it offers

Got it last night. Android version did not change. Couldn't tell for sure if any other numbers updated. It wouldn't kill AT&T to send out an e-mail or text message telling us what the update was for.

 

[jngtt]

got the same thing i have no idea what is the update

 

[bludiamond]

Update has my phone stuck in a darn boot loop..any idea what it is?

Sorry bludiamond.

Since my phone is rooted, I did not want to install this update. It's quite upsetting that AT&T forces the update unconditionally.

Anyway, I had let the download to complete, but did not let it to install. The update did prompt me, whether I want it to install now, or later. I had opted for later.

Then, after some Googling, I had deleted the download (from /sdcard/Download), and had un-installed the following services: com.htc.demoflopackageinstaller and com.smithmicro.dm.

Then, I've rebooted the phone. Afterwards, the phone still had a notification, that there's an update ready to be installed. When, selecting the notification, updater did realize that the downloaded file is gone, and had prompted me whether or not I'd like to download the update again, on which, I had responded no. The notification is gone, and AT&T did not prompt me to download and install the update again, at least not yet.

My phone seems to be OK.

I was hoping for a new Radio/RIL. That's not what this is...

New Kernel & Recovery. If you are rooted and on a custom rom Do Not run the update. I'm sure the developer of the rom you are on will work to add anything useful to future updates.
The dates on these files is 7/27/12 so it took At$t over to months to test & release.

To delete it look in /cache/fota/OTAPkg.zip
Once gone you shouldn't be bothered by it anymore.

Have anyone successfuly downloaded and installed it?

What's new? Bluetooth bugs fixes? Usable Voice Dialer? Better battery life?
Sense 4.0?

Please comment.

Think the majority of users on here are rooted and running custom roms so they wouldnt' be installing this.

I forgot I was unlocked and rooted. Now I am really stuck. How do I get out of the dead Android loop?

I googled the update, and found this on the ATT Support website.

Beginning on October 9, 2012, AT&T and HTC have released an additional software update for the HTC Vivid that will be available via firmware over-the-air (FOTA). This 13MB software package updates the firmware version to 3.26.502.56_R23 and improves sensor performance.

NOTE: Customers must have a data SOC in order to obtain any FOTA updates. Customers who have a data opt-out SOC are not able to receive FOTA updates.

For the users in boot loop I just recovered from it. Boot into cwm and clear the cache a couple of times and reboot.

After getting my phone out of the boot loop I tried this and am no longer prompted to update. Thank you for the help

I had the looping issue too. I cleared the cache once and rebooted. Received a message that there was a problem with the update and to wait for the next update. Phone seems to be okay since.

I'm unlocked s/on..no custom rom..it was so early, I must have hit the wrong button, so I'm stuck in the loop and can't seem to get into recovery either..ugh

I'm stock - not rooted. I did do the download without any problems, although you do have to manually reboot after the update.

It supposedly improves the sensor. Not sure what that means, but that's what the ATT website says. Other than it changing my default ringtone, I don't see any difference.

 

[bludiamond]

Could not get it out of the loop. Took it to the service center and neither could they..they ended up replacing it under warranty..thank goodness. Said that another lady came in with the same issue as well.

AT&T Upgrade to Nowhere

I'm running stock on the HTC Vivid and got this upgrade pushed out by AT&T. This is the second AT&T upgrade I've done on this phone (the first was to ICS not long after I got the phone).

I ran the update yesterday, which force rebooted my phone and I watched as the upgrade downloaded and installed, then came back up.

NOTHING has changed. I don't know what AT&T supposedly upgraded, but it's certainly nothing noticeable.

I didn't even get the "3.26.502.56_R23" software designation that the AT&T help article says I was supposed to see.

It was literally an upgrade to nowhere. Not sure why I wasted time off the grid and battery power on it.

As usual-- AT&T fail.

At least no harm was done.

I was rooted, stock ROM, and got the notification yesterday. I postponed as much as I could but it finally wouldn't let me anymore and I let it try to update.

Of course, went into a boot loop. I did eventually get the boot looping to stop by reflashing the wxc recovery image and CWM-root, but then my wifi wouldn't work. I suspected some difference in the kernel version or some other borking of the update.

Long story short, I had to re-lock, go back to stock, and re-unlock and root again. Then spend the time (ongoing) to get my environment back. Thank goodness for Titanium backup pro and Dropbox. LOL.

Wish I could bill AT&T for the 18 hours I've spent. And if they push it to me again, I'll be irritated.
