Couldn't you set your router to create a log (probably under Administration) than connect the TB to the LAN and have it check for an update. The address should show up in the log under outgoing.

As for the file name, perhaps you could use FTP to the address and look for the 365.6 mb file (or whatever the file size was).

You know what they say when people assume something. I find it odd HTC hasn't said anything about the release. Why I think its never going to come. I am not being a nay sayer just realistic here. You ever see verizon release an update in a timely manner? No didn't think so.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tburns:
Pretty sure everyone by now knows you don't think is going to happen after all your posts about it. Enjoy the Rezound.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tm24fan8:
Was going to say this myself. For not trying to be a nay sayer he sure does a lot of exactly that...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark Jedi:
No its being called realistic. I went through this way back in June when Verizon announced this very same thing. All the posts of is it out yet or anyone have it yet. Then all the posts of I hate Verizon and HTC. It's just going to repeat yet again when it's not released. Verizon isn't great about releasing ota in a timely manner. When they announce a release you have about a good 3 month wait if it comes out. How froyo was for the original droid and how it was for gingerbread for the bolt. So keep dreaming of seeing this release for the bolt coming soon. There's a lot more newer phones out now that will bump the bolt back down for updates lol.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tburns:
We got it thanks. You've explained it well. I had ics on my old eris and jb. If ics comes great if not oh well. Santod and twisted have done great along with liquid. Had the tbolt four about 2 years and content.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
Dude just quit hanging out here. All you're doing is trolling. Go back to your new forums and stay because you're clearly not here to help. I thought the whole point of getting a "better" device was so you dont have to deal with am I getting an update blues. You seem to forget that your rezound is nearly as old as the bolt. They came out the same year if I recall correctly. You didn't get much of an upgrade if you ask me. It won't be long and you'll be crying a river about why isn't my rezound getting an update to key lime pie. They promised it.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harecurtis:
Troll...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark Jedi:
One wasn't an upgrade it was a replacement from a damaged phone. Two I never had upgrade blues. I learned back in the original droid days what Verizon says and does are two different things and not to put much stock in it.

Same can be said about the same people saying over and over can't wait for ics to be released. Wish they would hurry up and get it to us already. Don't hear me saying ok we get it. Thought this was s place to have a discussion about stuff. Sorry to try and being the voice of reason by saying don't get your hopes up too much on this release. I know it's only a matter of time before all the hate threads start popping up of how Verizon sucks and when my contract is up I am leaving yadda yadda yadda. Just like back in June.

I really liked my bolt and plan on getting another one for work. So why would I want to leave from here? Plus who put you in charge of dictating who can stay and who has to leave?

I will be staying and if you don't like it oh well. Better get use to it or leave. I will comment on anything I feel like. Just like everyone else on here does. So stop trying to be the self appointed mod of the thread.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
Thanks again troll. I think your buddies at the rezound forum miss you. Why don't you go ahead and do like I suggested an call Verizon tech support and ask them if the update is in their system? All previous rumors of the update were never once put into the system and the update PDFs were never posted.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark Jedi:
Sorry I beg to differ it was in their computer system. A person posted a picture. I called tech support about an issue with my wife's phone and asked them if what I saw was true and the tech guy even said yes it's in the system but it doesn't have a date to be released yet. So I guess you don't know everything now do you Mr know it all. Call me a troll all you want at least I am not acting like an ass as in jackass.you know the donkey, mule. You are entitled to your opinion so let me have mine and stop acting like you own the thunderbolt section. Plus I only had the rezound for like 4 days. So how can my people as you put it miss me? Maybe you should think before you post troll. I can do this all day in making you look like an ass. You know as in jackass. Have a nice day

Did I EVER say it wasn't going to happen ? This is my philosophy with all software, hardware, etc -- believe it when you can see it, touch it, etc. Trust me, I WANT this update to happen. I'll ignore it but it will allow developers to build PROPER kernels, get a reliable RIL, etc, etc so I can keep using my AOSP-based ROMs !! :D
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidJoe:
Ok, I understand the significance of this, but I have a few questions...

is the updated hboot needed for this OTA to work properly? or can it be flashed without this hboot?

Devs are working on giving us a rooted and debloated copy of this update, right? is there anyway to get a just stock/rooted (other wise untouched)?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Link_of_Hyrule:

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidJoe:
I didn't say they are working on it at this minute... I was hoping they are working on it if/when they have time, so that hopefully in the next few days, we might have something that is safe to flash.

Wow you all are attacking Dark Jedi and to be honest he is just stating his opinion. I feel the same way about ICS being released on the TB. If it happens... Great... If it doesn't then who cares.

All the ICS roms I've tried have been battery killers. Enough of being rude everyone. Even Dark Jedi has an opinion like the rest of us. I agree don't hold your breath. I'm rooted and I could honestly care less about the OTA

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
A lot more goes into than you would think. The ota is basically hundreds of patches. In order to get a rom from that it has to be flashed hboot included. Then it can be dumped, rooted and published. The dev that makes the system dump loses a rooted device when there is a new hboot if it is encrypted or if current unlock methods don't work. I'm sure htc dev will work though.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brizey:
I have the pathced hboot that won't let itself be overwritten by an ota. I rooted in July 2011, though with the original jcase method and flashed the patched boot loader a long time ago too. Do the newer root methods not flash the hardened bootloader?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santod040:
I'll let you know after bricking a phone tonight for you guys.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
The ota came with a new hboot which means it could be encrypted. There is no way to know until it is flashed and people poke around it. Also there is no way of knowing if existing unlock methods will work on the new hboot plus we don't know if someone would even bother trying to find an unlock method for it since this device is so old. The point I'm trying to make here is that it is risky business doing what santod is doing and time consuming.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RBarnett09:
Trter10 is trying to POSSIBLY get his tool to work with the new hboot.

Lets keep our fingers crossed.

By the way, I am glad I talked my girlfriend out of unrooting before the update. Ha.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
I have it on good authority that temp root is achieved. Trter is going to work with the revolutionary team to see about unlocking the bootloader.

Why can't you just remove the hboot nb0 image file from the OTA while in cache and then install and reroot?

Also I am still running the Original 1.04.2000 ENG hboot. Any reason why I should install the Revolutionary or whatever other patched hboot?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryryrocco:
Just a heads up for those still using a thunderbolt/patiently waiting for the ICS update (that probably won't really make the phone any better than the custom roms already out there.)

A few weeks ago my dad upgraded to a galaxy s3 and gave me his thunderbolt. I had a droid inc2 that I was using. Activated the thunderbolt on my account and used it for a few days and had numerous problems. Got an email from verizon about a promotion they have going on until march 8th that you can add on an extended warranty to a phone that was purchased from them within the last two years. Added the thunderbolt (which I didn't even purchase myself) and called the next day and returned for a CLND thunderbolt x2. After the second replacement device they offered to send me a rezound which I was able to get for free from my dad by trading in his piece of crap thunderbolt and also keeping my unlimited data on a 4g device for now (which is key) considering I had been using an incredible 2 up until last month.

Worth a shot for others still trying to get the most out of their thunderbolt (which won't be much). Free upgrade to a rezound just by complaining.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShapesBlue:
Ironically I've had my TB since Oct 2011 and I've had no major issues with it. I'm not sure a rezound is much of an upgrade though.

Also with the rezound I had 46% battery left after 11 hours with normal heavy usage while at work.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShapesBlue:
I will agree that the TB is without a doubt a battery hog. Running a custom ROM however does make a difference. I get more than 24 hours on a full charge with the rom I have installed.

Stock GB was horrendous with the battery life. I do however have the extended battery which does make a huge difference. The original battery got maybe 4 hours on a charge with even light use

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryryrocco:
I think the rezound is a wonderful phone. I hated the thunderbolt the whole time I used it for about a week.

In reading alot of reviews the rezound scores better than the galaxy s3 in all areas except for battery life.

Kind of funny that my dad bought a galaxy s3 and I got a phone for free that is comparable to the one that he bought by trading in his phone for a replacement (with supervisor approval of course) .

Running Ecliptic Sense with Sense 4.0 and custom lunar kernel I am getting way better battery life than stock.

---------- Post added at 09:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 AM ----------

Not really trying to argue at all really over which is the better phone at all either...

...just saying it is worth a shot if you still have a thunderbolt to call and complain to get a rezound or inc 4g as a replacement if you want to because it is probably worth it if you can do it do it for free. It was really easy to convince them and only took about a 15 minute phone call by dialing *611 and asking for a tier 2 support specialist because I said "I know what I'm doing and I already tried everything to make this thing usable" Went from single core 3g inc2 to single core 4g thunderbolt to dual core 1.5 ghz rezound 4g just with a simple call/warranty add-on.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark Jedi:
Basically it comes down to the rezound is what the thunderbolt should have been.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santod040:
Alrighty then....LOL.

The S4 is what the S3 should have been and the iphone 5 is what the iphone 4 should have been.

Let us have our moment, we waited long enough and we still have a Thunderbolt.

Rezound forums slow?

Love ya guys, but c'mon. :o

I don't see what the Rezound has to do with the Thunderbolt getting a long awaited update.

It's almost as if those who gave up at the last minute and moved on, regret it now.

That's just the way it appears, I'm sure you laughed a little, I did too.

Oh now I see what it is.....we got 4.0.4 official, rather then 4.0.3

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ioxon:
I decided to unroot and take the ICS update on my TB 2 days ago. To my absolute surprise, my battery now lasts longer than it ever did with the original or any other rom I used (which was quite a lot of them).

Even with how bored to death I am with Sense, having 3.6 is at least a little better. Still, I will be definitely looking forward to at least rooting this puppy again if there are enough devs out there who still care about this beast of a phone. I knew the risks of unrooting though so I can't complain if nothing more comes of the TB rooting scene.

Final thought though is that my battery life pleases me more than anything has on this phone since I purchased it early last year? (I can't remember). I'm a pretty heavy user of my phone and my battery life is finally back to lasting a good 2+ days of pretty decent amount (not quite as heavy as I used to) of use.

If I can re-root this bad boy now that I have the official ICS, I'll be good to go with Go Launcher EX as my replacement launcher for a while.

EDIT: I should also note that I'm using the 3500<-? mhz Seido extended battery. Also, my loss of battery life in the past 6+ months had me thinking it was my battery that was just losing juice.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RBarnett09:
With ICS, you should consider Apex or Nova Launcher.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ioxon:
Thanks. I've tried Nova Launcher before (with TeamBAMF ICS leak) but haven't tried Apex. I like Go Launcher EX because of the extensive library of themes available and its speediness. I may give Nova Launcher another try because I haven't explored everything on it yet like its ability to use themes from other launchers (is this right?)

It prompts that there's an update and a timer starts. If you don't tap "no" or "cancel" or whatever, it defaults "do it" basically. Previous updates were the same way too.

After all the faithful forum watching in the last year, the wait paid off. This morning at 7am (PST) Verizon woke me up with a notification to begin the download. Took between 20 and 30 minutes.

The Verizon support page for this release can be found thru Google, keywords "Verizon Thunderbolt Support"

I have no additional news to report. I've seen a few comments from others about potential sluggishness and network issues, but can't provide any real-world experience.

So how much better is this update than the leak?

Will we have to wait the 90 days to get anything worthwhile? Or is that only for overclocking? I guess what I mean to ask is, do our devs have the ability to make ROMs for ICS to the same extent as they could on GB?

How key is that source code?

Duely blundered from my thunderdolt.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santod040:
The update greatly improves what we have to work with.

New roms from this new base are much more battery efficient and signal issues are a thing of the Thunderbolt past.

The kernel, Ril, and Radios alone have made a huge difference.

When we get source to make custom overclockable kernels, things will get even more interesting.

But for now, the update has helped tremendously as far as what we have available to work with.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
Yes we just won't be able to have the ics kernel for aosp roms just yet. At least not a custom kernel. The official ics is way better than that leak in every aspect. Battery is easily double and the signal with the new radio and ril make data even better.
