So is it still on or cancelled? Theres a post said cancelled before I put it here

it wasn't pulled. people are still getting it.

edit: i just saw the post you are refering to. maybe they did pull the update.

I went ahead and did a factory reset my phone this weekend and now my phone won't find the Gingerbread update.  I know I rejected it earlier on the first day it was out so I don't know if that is the reason or if it really was pulled.  I could even live with the broken VM notification and I use the standard basic VM.  I am going to keep my phone fairly clean of apps for a while and see if the update come around again.

[AZSALUKI]

ann....they pulled it. too many complaints about the VM issue. you'll have to wait untill they push it again.

I got a notification about 9:15P 10/3 that there was a SW update.  I immediately canceled it and got the SW update cancelled box.  I don't know if it was the MR2 release or the GB release I don't remeber if the notification box said. 

I will stay with MR1, I think, until the cows roost or whatever it is that cows are supposed to do.

  oops Thanks Ann,  10/2, had more than one thing on my mind and got, easily, confused.  All you whiz kids get this TB straightened out, I'm gonna to be gone for awhile and when I get back I want to see that everything with the TB has been taken care of.

EDIT

To B33:  I read your article.  All I can say about that is and I don't know what to do about it, so again, I'm back to letting all the whiz kids take care of the problem and theN hope one of them will tell me what to do.......that's DO NOT where to go.  

[B33]

Well this was a news article from the fine folks at Android Police. The link was also posted in the Droid Incredible Post but i did'nt know if one's that have a T-bolt would see it since it was posted there so i went ahead an posted it Here. This can be scary stuff if one's can get access to our Info on our phones. As many have there credit cards , and banking an other very important information on them.

Imediate Action Needs to Taken An HTC had better listen to us all. An fix the Problem

[silvrhand]

sigh.. if they can't figure out the update at least let us unlock our phones and do our own upgrades.  This is getting beyond ridiculous it's not like this isn't something that should have been picked up in a test harness in their lab.

Verizon/HTC where is my update, I'm paying a premium for a premium device I expect to get premium service as well.

[B33]

HTC say's there's a Fix comeing for the security flaw Soon: That's good news not leaving it on the back burner to simmer an acting quickly about it.It will be pushed out by OTA soon after Carrier Testing.

There's that word again ("Soon")

The Verizon and HTC definition of that word is nothing like Merriam Webster's or and other reasonable dictionary

I got mine today. The 140 some mb download took less than 5 minutes. The phone finished the update while I was doing other tasks. Probably less than 30 minutes total time.

So far everything looks like it is working as it should.

double post, I don't know how that happened.

Using Internet Explorer 9?  If so, turn on the compatiblity mode.

[Ann154]

Yeah, I kind of figured that was case. I did find out one thing that hasbeen bugging me since the last factory reset I did to the Thunderbolt. The boot animation is different for a phone that isn't setup at all versus one that is. If I have some time in the next week, I will see if I can trim the one video and post both videos to the community.

So I got an install notice last night on my cell at home I thought it was for one of my apps..... yea no it was for GB 2.3.... I HATE IT!!!!!!!!! It kills my battery, my phone is sooooo slow now, and it deleted all my texts!! I called Verizon and they can't do anything about it like normal......If I had been told the update would delete my texts I wouldn't have done it!!! I even called Motorola and they can put my phone back on the old version either.... AND I was told they Pulled the update for Droid 2 because of these issues.... so WHY was it sent to me??? He had no idea why I even got it because he said I shouldn't have.... Verizon needs to do WAY better on their customer service!!! They can do a backup assistance for contacts why not have it for all the info on ur phone?? so when they send out updates they shouldn't send out, you don't loose all your stuff......I am really starting to HATE verizon!!!!!!!!!!!!
