I tried using the updater with Vista x64, started updating and the power shut off. Might have just been a surge from my computer? Who knows...
Anyhow, now my keypad lights stay on, regardless of the phone's current power state (if the battery is in or plugged in,) it detects the phone as having all of the buttons pressed.
I was able to format somehow, but can't get into the os.
The Samsung website has been hid hard by all us Saga users eagerly downloading the update. Keep trying with a good fast connection. I failed to download about 5 times before I gave up and did it the next day at work (better network).
Has anyone noticed any stability issues? I have seen several 'cannot start program X due to low memory' type errors, and even a few where the app hiccups (doesnt actually crash always) but triggers the error reporting tool. Anyone else seeing this kind of thing? So far I am only running software I had before the upgrade.

Going to VZW early tomorrow.
How did you even get it to start with Vista 64bit??? Mine tells me MDC is not running and then stops the install process.
so we lost about 9mb storage and 8mb ram... some went to live search
There are some pretty large audio (mp3) files in the Windows root directory now that I don't remember seeing below. Some space can be gained by moving or deleting them. Anybody remember how to delete a file that's marked as ROM? I seem to remember doing this way back in the day when I was tweaking my WM Treo....
The flashing was successful, however, the top power button will not turn the display or phone on. I have to use the data cable to turn it on, and any button press to turn on the display.
Called VZW and spoke with them for about 74 minutes to get my unlock code... took them 4 different techs to do it. They were using the old firmware and trying to have me put in #7465625*638 to update it.
Flashed fine, but now I have no USB support... No activesync, the device doesn't show up at all. I don't get a chime when I plug in either... I'll see if the device recognizes a charger even... I redid a hard reset with no luck.
I figured out the USB problem... close out the installer.... As far as Sprite, I'm currently running after a "merge level 2" restore. Level 3 knocked the phone radio out of commission.
::edit:: no dice with level 2 either, it goofs up the new "global" menu, and I can't get the GPS to activate. I'm just gonna reinstall everything - it's worth it
I did a back up with spb back up then did a restore. It worked after but seemed a little sluggish. I did a clean install of everything after a hard reset and it seems better now
Yeah, I did a clean install also. I use SkTools Backup, and after restoring post update all the apps were there but acted like they weren't registered. Every dll called by every app raised the 'do you want to run this' alert dialog. So after hitting yes like 10 times I gave up and hard reset.
How does on revert back to the previous os? I dont see any reason to stay with the new one.
They probably aren't shipping units with the new rom yet.. so you may be able to get a replacement sent with the old rom or check your local store.. otherwise you're s.o.l
No USB following update...
