I'm assuming that an OTA update for Rogers Dream phones is going to get pushed out soon. If anyone gets this please let us know. I'm having a hell of a time getting the HTC Camera to work again on the new Android release.

Will there be any prompt letting us know we got the update?
I think on the T-Mobile G1 there is an option to check for updates but I don't see it on the Rogers HTC Dream...
OTA update?
I have a rooted Dream. Is there any reason not to allow this update??
That is, will is affect the rooting?
Edit: Not that it has come down yet ... just wondering.
If you switched over to using the testkeys you wont be able to install the update as it is using the releasekeys.
Just a selfish bump, sorry to those who read it for no reason.... I wish I could walk in to a rogers store and check the firmware on their new rogers.

Without opening the box how can i tell if this Rogers HTC Magic can be rooted or not?
The reason i ask is because some of the newest ones already have the new updated firmware applied to them (or so my friend has told me).
Does anyone think this is the case or not?
I think the new ones have a Magic+! Not sure though
What makes you think it's some of the newest ones? I'm pretty sure ALL of them have the updated firmware by now
im pretty sure you can't tell by the box (almost positive).... best thing to do is ask how long the store has had it in stock..
if they had it from early january or from 2009 then it will not have the newest update and can be rooted... if its after mid january then it a good bet it will have the non rootable update..
thanks i will ask and find out.

If it already has the update then would it be a good bet that it can NEVER be rooted?

... as of now it cannot be rooted, that isnt to say that i never will be rooted. once the 2.1 update comes out there may be a way to root again, but only time will tell... my recommendation is to buy a used one that is already rooted, or one that someone never did the update on if you really want root now..
thanks. ignorant though.
what me being ignorant? was just trying to help..
not you but Rogers, it looks like the one i have is rootable so not so ignorant at all!
awesome bud, glad to hear! welcome to the party that is custom roms. : D

What makes you think there _will_ be an update to 2.1?
And if there is one, what makes you think it might be rootable?
rogers have said there will be a 2.1 update. and i dont know if it can be rooted, no one does..we have to wait and see
Did Rogers explicitly promise to update the magic? I couldn't find any source for that. As for HTC, they only mention they will have an update for the Hero - nothing about the Magic.

just google rogers magic 2.1 .. yes its comming.. that is the reason why they offered the free upgrade to magic from dream as the dream was not getting the update..
it is comming, it is promised and it is known...
Yeah you're right. A statement from the source is here:
www.htc.com/us/support/magic-rogers/help/system-and-upgrade
OTOH my carrier has made it known that it will not be offering any update beyond 1.5 for the magic.
But back on topic, if HTC has been able to cook an unrootable update at least once, they will keep it this way with further updates too. I'm willing to bet the future update will do nothing to help those who would rather run custom roms, as opposed to those who will be content with the official 2.1 release.
I'm an ex T-mobile user with my rooted Vibrant uvij5 running on At&t. Will I be able to get the Froyo update via Kies stateside or will I need to make changes. I've waited waited for this update and don't want to miss out.

I would say update to an official release (JI6) to just be sure. So many ways to brick our phone so just take every precaution.

If you are on AT&T like I was, I never received the ability to get the OTA update. I was able to get it by using Kies Mini at http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa...ID=2&PROD_SUB_ID=557&PROD_ID=560&AT_ID=340607. This is for the JI6 update, I hope it works the same for Froyo.
Well i'm on my local which is cincinnati bell. Also how do i know if i have the JI6 update or the JF6? i'm sorry for so many questions but i'm fairfly new to developing and am trying to learn as much as i can because this forum has so much knowledge.
Just to bust everyones bubble, the update currently rolling out is only for the I9000 model(base model) and cannot run on US phones. And I don't see the US carriers releasing this anytime soon to us and they always take the slow road. At the moment I am thing that a mid November US carrier release sounds about right. But I really hope that I am wrong!!!!

I hope you are right and not wrong, I wouldn't mind the update in November because that's probably the quickest time, we will get it officially. (now to 10/31/2010 will be JI6 OTA, so november sounds good to me).
Since T-Mobile took its sweet time getting JI6 out, with no problems unlike what I heard about the Captivate update, then I wouldn't mind waiting for it to come out during the holidays.

I'm not sure which ROM Manager you're talking about. ..Never heard of setting which controls OTA updates. .. the best way of getting the update is through Odin in your case...

Once you open ROM manager there is a option that says "Check for ROM updates"
Under that it says "your ROM is not set up to reveive OTA updates. Please contact the ROM developer!" In those exact words down to the exclamation point.
That is for custom rom like cyanogen whenever it come out. The rom manager has no control over the stock rom

According to people, you should (assuming your t-mobile) but there is a high chance you might soft brick. Unroot yourself just to be safe when you do apply the update.

Since you're unlocked and not using the T-Mobile network, you won't be able to get T-Mobile's OTA updates but you can still update your phone officially by using Samsung Kies Mini (or if you're brave enough, you could be able to flash it with ODIN as soon as someone releases the update on the dev forums). ATM, I wouldn't be bothering with Froyo just yet since T-Mobile hasn't made a peep about it. I'll just wait for it to appear via Kies Mini (well, either that or just ODIN it).
Hi all,
I'm new to this site (and this stuff in general) and just have a question. I'm using an unlocked G2 in Canada and was wondering if I'll still be able to get the 2.2.1 update even if I'm not on the T-mobile network. Sorry, if this was already asked and thank you for your patience with my noob-ness. (I couldn't find this searching through google).
Edit: O geeze. Put the wrong number down for update. =_=;
There is no official OTA yet. And you are already on 2.2, the update just does some small fixes/enhancements. As to whether you can get it, I would like to know as well.
Simple answer no. tmobile sends out the updates so if your not on there network you wont be able to get it as an over the air (ota) update

Yes, once the OTA hits someone will extract the link and host the update so that everyone doesn't have to wait for the OTA to roll out because TMo (and everyone else) pushes updates in batch form not all at once.
So yes you will be able to get it... just not in OTA form.
There was a checkin code, people were using to manually check for updates, but I dont know if that works for anyone?
Once we get full root, and the update is sent to us, im sure someone will create a post. From there you can download and install it.

I got my G1 in Hong Kong and not using T-mobile, but I was able to get OTA update to 1.1 and 1.5
Sounds awesome. Here's hoping it doesn't take until a full root inorder to extract the update. Thanks, makes me feel more hopeful. Tethering and Wifi calling would be nice to have...

That isn't entirely correct. OTA updates to the OS are Google-managed and are sent out for T-Mobile's phones pending T-Mobile's approval.

Verizon i think is going to give us a update soon every so offten it will take forever to update other times it will say a new system update is available will you like to update i till it yes and then it will say uodate felled. i have a locked bootloader so i dont think its from having it unlocked bootloader and im running stuck 2.3.3 so i was thinking my phones doing that because they are working on a update and its a bug in all of are r800x fw so im gussing they are working on it and are phones pick it up and can not update because we ether don't have verizon's permission or its because the update is not complete or is still in testing so do you guys think its a bug thats saying that we are going to get a update soon or do you think its just one hell of a miss understanding

A misunderstanding, if I remember right, before 2.3.3 came out, sometimes innopath (or whatever the update client is named) would just come up randomly on boot, and fail kinda like what you're describing... plus, the next update will break the way we root.

One of my Friend bought g950u1 from us and he is using it in India now. He has been getting all the updates samsung pushed earlier. I am sure you guys will get the oreo update also, If it ever gets released.
Waiting forever for this update.

I dont think that is true, only a few carriers have implemented checks(AT&T for sure) to make sure you are using their sim before they let you download the update. It should not matter by region at all. The updates are pushed by IMEI series and not by geolocation.
I got the update today
Got the notice on my TMO running unlocked code today as well. Has anyone installed it yet? Any issues? How's battery life?

I am using on sprint, installed the OTA yesterday. My experience with battery life has been worse than the beta version I was on.
So is there a way to stop the update? I want to let it bake a bit. I thought I could go into Dev Options and disable Auto System Update but as soon as I got home and on WiFi it started downloading Oreo.
