Always becareful as to what you update, because this could patch up the kernal that is letting us exploit our phones from being Rooted. I'm not saying that is the issue here, just something to think about here or future updates, upgrades, andso forth :)

THANK YOU.
the geniuses @ my local Sprint repair stores (tried two of them) have the information about the known issue with software version 1.22 refusing to recognize OTA updates, but they haven't been provided this software!
They told me they'd check into it and call me in a week!
If you want something done right...
