You guys are quick. I was just going to post this myself.

I guess the real question is: what is the difference between this software and the same version that was released before or is there any?

This is still .297 obviously (not .517, that's the package version) but with probably just some minor fixes of the issues that it had when they pulled it.

Well, just grabbed this and put it on my site so I could provide a mirror. You can grab it Hooked On Tronyx! - My hosted Files - Operating Systems - Bold OS 4.6.0.297v2 (4.6.0.517).

I'm updating my Bold right now. I'll let you guys know how it goes and if I notice anything new or different from the previous one. I was already running the .297 on mine, the one AT&T released before they pulled it, so we'll see if they have changed anything. I doubt I will see much improvement.

[BlendedFrog]

Well what I can tell you is the 1st .297 release from ATT had platform .243

This .297 release has platform .247.

Must have enough changes to warrant the platform number change.

[msaster]

What is the difference in this and 301 besides it is not from att and beta

[jcp007]

If I had already updated my OS with the original .297, is there any real need to update again?

I guess we'll have to wait and see.. .297 works fine for me besides the quick(er) draining battery

[SuperTone]

this thread needs to be merged with the Official release thread

Well I know after I downloaded the original .297 I started experiencing minor email and backlight issues so hopefully this new update fixes those problems.

[anon(2088)]

4.6.0.301 is package 513 and 4.6.0.297 is package 517. This is really annoying. AT&T should have updated the version to something greater than 301.

[FLIP954RR]

any MAJOR significant difference to make me want to switch from .301-other than diff. platforms?

or is it just worth it to wait for the official 5.0 release?

[Crucial_Xtreme]

This .297 release has platform .247.

Correct. So while the application version is older than .301, this version is still the newest simply because of the new Platform(radio) version.

[msaster]

Crucial is it worth going from 301 to this one in your opinion. Based on what you know is coming down the road shortly?

[Nyce-Daytona]

Does this new Paltform fix the horrible picture loading time in the original release of OS .297?

[jddjr0919]

Downloading now. hopefully it will fix the radio issues and the seemingly constant timeclock icon.

[jcp007]

CX,

If I have already upgraded the OS and have no major issues, should I do another update? If so, what do I do with the original update files in the AppLoader directory on my hard drive?

[hurricane.gio]

we4ll the last .297 sucked major a$$! I am no .301 with AT&T could not be happier. WiFi reception is the best I have had yet.

Phone is fast and radio signal and battery life are tops!

[Laura Knotek]

I'm just subscribing to the thread so I can see how you guys like this new version. I had good results with the original .297, so I never stopped using it.

Planning on visiting the states soon so might download this as a backup for the roaming issue with os 5.0.0.190

I just went ahead and installed it. up and running. seems the same as the previous release. maybe a tad faster but that could just be in my head

[Crucial_Xtreme]

I haven't tried it, but it should be perfectly fine. There is no more 4.6 development, only bug fixes. So it's at a minimum as good as .301.

CX,

Just stay where you're at if it works well. No point in messing with a good thing.

Tronyx, Love your site btw... dling the new update right now, hopefully at&t adds vvm so that I can use it, as I was a late user and they pulled it before I got a chance to add it to my plan.
