so how do you update it?
I can’t. That’s the problem. There is no option. Apparently you could try
this with “Kies”, the strange Software from Samsung. But I use GNU/Linux and
so I have to wait for an OTA if this ever happens 🙁
So far all I see is a sprint advertisement on the exit screen and the welcome (boot up) screen. Lovely. And oh by the way, my google maps and navigation programs no longer work. Thanks, Sprint~!
Don’t do it! You’ll lose your root!!
same problem, Do you how set back your root ?
I also tried to downgrade without any result, now I hate sprint 🙂
