Verizon i920 Upgrade

[Guest Bern612]

Got my replacement phone, upgraded on vista machine. and it took. I assume all of us bricked phones were using window 7 64. bit. All day before my phone arrived i tried to restore my bricked phone. Xp, vista, and windows 7. The funny thing is windows 7 was the only on that would let me go into recovery mode. Still stopped at 31%.

Has anyone successfully installed the update using Windows 7 32 or 64 bit?

My buddy just called me saying his phone no longer works after installing the update using Windows 7 32bit.

Maybe this hasn't been mentioned:

This is one thing that has always pissed me off about smartphones, is that most of them do not have proper changelogs when firmware upgrades are available (not just WM).

Would be really nice to know exactly what these "additions, enhancements, and corrections" are.

Well I called Samsung and asked about a more detailed changelog. and apparently it is ony the phone patch, nothing else.

Okay... but what is fixed in the patch, and why would I want it?

It was something about dropped calls and evdo, I wouldn't update yet, as we are getting close to modifying the rom. It's already been extracted, but some more work needs to be done. See: http://www.modaco.com/content/verizon-sams...e/#entry1151196

yeah what steel said. it's just a patch having to do with call quality, so if you don't have any issues with your calls or dropped calls then don't upgrade yet.

Heh, that is EXACTLY what I figured.
