The 2.3.6 update bricked my phone. A system reset seems to have straightened it out. I took it to the att store and there was another customer with the same issue. Oddly, after the reset, it says I’m still running 2.3.6 but the kernel is the same version as a skyrocket running 2.3.5.
Strange. I’m not getting the update.
