cross your fingers

And toes......

Honestly I don't care, as long as it fixes the random reboots and the Google issue.

[GreenRobot]

I hope for you guys it's true but that date is only 12 days away and I can't find the actual notice on VZWs site. Also it says gtalk video which it would actually be Google Talk with video ( read this in AC comments ) this is gtalk https://www.gtalk.us/pinless/ . So either this is a rough draft or someone is playing a joke.

FAKE.  Here's why...

1)  gTalk....I don't think so.

2)  Amazon App...Not likely

3)  Multiple spelling errors..., "Extentions", "Enchanced"

GB won't be so soon.  MR2.5 on the other hand, should be out soon and won't be bundled with GB.

[Matticus]

GB will be here by the end of June

You're probably right, but I may think a little more of the Amazon App's chances than you do.

Search for the MR2 leaked update.  You don't even need to root your phone to do it and it fixes the rebooting issue.

Saw that weeks ago. Couldn't get the bootloader thing to work (Volume down/Power)...

If we can get someone from Verizon to confirm or deny it, then I would be EXTREMELY happy!!

Thanks for all of the feedback and suggestions!

There is no Gingerbread software update available or announced for the HTC Thunderbolt.  However, you may check for current available software details and update instructions in the following link:

Software Update: HTC Thunderbolt

You may also sign-up for email alerts via this link:  Email Alerts

Let me know if this answers your question!

So Gingerbread is NOT coming to Thunderbolt on 6/30 AT ALL??  Then why do you all the big blogs have an announcement from Verizon saying so??

[B33]

@ MDagg77 : They said Ginger was coming to the D inc. an to the X an that they were to get it  3 or 4  Months back an it Finally

showed up accouple weeks ago for the X an no announcements have been for the Dinc. An look how long it took for Sammy to

give Froyo to the Fascinate. So if your Passionate about T-bolt getting Ginger i would'nt pute you hopes up to hi.  Because if

Verizon does'nt like the OS they'll throw it Back to HTC like they Threw ginger back to Moto untill they get it like Verizon wants it . An

it can go back an fourth a time or two untill its just right or they think its right. To Release it out. Or they could hold off on it for

another 6 Months before they Decide to release it an by then another New 4G phone from HTC an Verizon will Be out.

because they are blogs.....that cite other blogs.....and then somehow it becomes fact, or an official verizon announcement or something. i believe if you scroll up a bit, you will see my earlier post, where i predicted EXACTLY this sort of comment. nobody from verizon or HTC has said it's NOT coming and nobody from verizon or HTC has said that it is, and when.

Stating Verizon has not stated that Gingerbread is coming is not true. I was personally told by a consumer relations rep that an update is coming in the first part of July and he was told it includes Gingerbread. He may have been saying what he thought he needed to in an attempt to keep me from returning the thunderbolt but I don't feel that is the case. 

There are numerous report of customer getting the same story from phone reps as well as reps in the stores.

show me an official statement from verizon. again....."he said the she was told" is not an official statement. a car sales guy once told me i'd get 200,000 miles from a car with very little maintenance involved.......because he wanted to sell me the car. it's unfortunate that their "reps" state things like this, but the fact is that a rep at the store knows no more (and likely less) than you or i. and who knows.....maybe corporate is telling the reps that there is an update "scheduled" for july......but that doesn't mean it wont' get pushed back or even cancelled. they will either post it on the site, make an official announcement, or you will see it on your phone. THAT is when it's official. not when a blog reports it or a guy at a store says so.

[Karuk]

You are right. We are wrong. Nothing official. I guess the rumors about MR2 were wrong as well. Weird considering you can download it from XDA and install it on your phone. 

I should add that I received an email from verizon letting me know the thunderbolt was available for purchase.....3 days after i received my thunderbolt.

There's a difference here... Those are leaks which means THEY are working on it.  They are not telling you when they think they'll be finished.  See Motorola for details about being transparent about an update date.  People took them as promises, and believed it had to be there on that day.  People went sue happy, and complained like 5 year kids not being able to eat candy at a candy store.  So yah as of right now THERE IS NO TIMEFRAME OFFICIALLY STATED, and those blog sites are just making predictions.

MR2 leak was leaked by someone to a Blog site...  Once they released the news and found it legit...  Then 50 other blog sites cited that 1 blog...

yes, mr2 exists and you can get the leaked version if you don't want to wait. there are also other ways to get gingerbread if you don't want to wait. and i realize verizon is awful about keeping us informed, which is why i initally suggested the the update would be availaible when you look at your phone and it say "available update." i'm really not trying to bicker here, but this is exactly how this stuff starts. a blog speculates and prints that. then another blog cites the first. then actual news outlets begin running with it (again, citing a blog) and a handful of people are misinformed by verizon reps......and next thing you know "gingerbread is definitely being pushed on this exact date." it's just silly.

i also never said the rumors are wrong. i said they are just rumors. we will likely get gingerbread sometime between next week and next year.

THAT is the best answer yet! "... sometime between next week and next year." Probably the truest one too.
