Verizon TP2 MR3 upgrade is available

[LinkRS]

Just did the update (Verizon stock MR2 to MR3). ROM Utility reported the same ROM version as MR2. The upgrade took a little less than 5 minutes from the time I saw the multi-colored boot screen. When phone came back up, the ROM information is identical to MR2, except for the Radio (as previously mentioned). This ROM has the same date and versions. I don't see the point of this update at all, but I don't think it actually flashes the whole phone, as the upgrade was much quicker than MR2. Hope this helps others!

You are correct. They only updated the radio and SPL.

Anyway, here is the link and I take no responsibility if it causes issues on your phone. I have a VZW RHOD500, and I wouldn't recommend flashing this on any other devices.

Pulling around 600 Kbps from inside my building when I used to get around 400 Kbps. On Opera Mini, it pulls quite a bit faster. Used to get like 2100 Kbps, but it's jumped to 2400 Kpbs

great work Nate!! just flashed the radio and all is well does seem a tad bit faster as you mentioned,again thanks man!!
