Does anyone know what is included in this update? Will wait to flash until those smarter than I have time to check it out.

why the HELL has the VZW TP2 had like 3 ROM upgrades meanwhile the sprint version has only had 1? VZW isnt even selling the damn thing anymore.

It's a ploy to make you go mad.

yea guess so, we as sprint users need a 21916 build that doesnt suffer the SOD and RAM issues like the 21889 build does, theres some custom roms that are this build but something i use is always ending up borked whether it be MMS(yes i provision correctly), OzIM or the myphone speeds.

The documentation says:

The upgrade performs the following improvements:
1) Qualcomm security update

If that's all it is, is it really worth going through the hassle of upgrading?

I tried using this ROM over my MightyRom and it just hung there at the HTC (white background) boot screen. Never went further. Flashing back to Stock what I call MR0, haha

I guess it might help to add, for those who don't know, that you will have to re-lock your phone before flashing the MR2 or MR3, then unlock the phone again to flash back to desired rom.

The update has a newer radio as well. It was 2.35 in MR2, 2.37 in MR3. It looks like the WM base system hasn't been updated though.

Is that true? Is this just for Verizon? I am on Sprint.

Sometimes I have to Flash Dance from stock but I have never had to re-lock the phone.

No, I didn't know that. And thus, knowing that...hell no.
