Official EB13 Problems Updating/How to Update Thread

[BigBlondeAndBlueMale]

I was told that using the Samsung update tool will behave like a hard reset, and I will lose my apps, photos, settings, etc... while waiting to get the update OTA will not end up in loss of the aforementioned stuff. Can anyone confirm or deny these claims?

I can confirm.

You don't have to wait though, you can go grab an update.zip and reboot into recovery(hold camera, power and vol down until it goes to stock recovery) and allow it to flash the update.zip

You can find it here:

Place it on the root of your sdcard.
