I had no issues with it at all. I'm not sure what method the people that did have the trouble used to upgrade. I can say myself and a few others in here did this method without a problem.

I think the OTA was pulled because some people were reporting connection issues and something with the sd card. Those were off the 91mb update that Sprint pushed to the phones as far as I know.

I never heard anyone say "bricking phones"..not saying no one bricked their phone..just not wide spread..the reason why they pulled it is probably the issues people had with the update.zip method where things go haywire..which as I said factory reset fixes..I mean dont your member the good old winmo days where after flashing a rom it was suggested to to a factory reset if things are messed up? :P

No, you should be able o follow the on screen instructions from the exe. It starts with turning the phone off, then hold the 1 button while turning the phone on just like you do with odin.

Both exe and odin worked for me without a hitch.

Odin worked fine for me as well, but the exe is just easier.
