if download mode=vol. down+camera+power, then yes. the screen says downloading and it has the progress bar at the bottom and the sd card looking symbol.

what the f. i can't get the recovery to load no matter what i do. i had it rooted and custom 2.1 rom on it before i did the official update. i don't understand what could be causing this

Uninstall the new SWupdater, then d/l the old installer here: http://www6.sprint.com/downloads/sam...ent_Update.exe.Install it, Then in the program directory, go to the binary, and put the Recovery 3.0.8 in there, get that here: http://mtutor.uprh.edu/~rafael/moment/recovery3_0_8.tar. Then try again

stupid fn sht. this is really really pissing me off. i had everything set up till i did the official update. i unistalled my drivers and the updater. then installed the old updater. now i cant get it to read the device in the sw updater. i downloaded the drivers supplied in the stickies and it tells me error everytime i try to update driver or run setup.

This is what happens when you go ahead of the developers and download the Sprint junk. SDX Developers has some possible fixes listed. Someone made a script to change a DLL in the new update software to allow custom tar's to be flashed.

I have had zero issues.

i had zero issues the first go round. now i cant get sh*t to work. drivers wont load now so i have a unknown device in my usb section when i have debug checked and nothing even shows up if debug is unchecked. it just has a baloon telling me usb device not recognized.

Samsung makes this thing a pain.. I have spent hours trying to figure this crap out.. You HAVE TO DELETE EVERYTHING SAMSUNG off your computer and start fresh.. And I'm pretty sure the updater doesnt work on older XP machines..
