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.
Sent from my HTC Magic using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
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 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.
YAY MY STORY WAS POSTED TO ANDROID GUYS!!!
UPDATED: So I had to rush home after class and give everyone that definate answer that they long. This was in my email as I finally got a STRAIGHT answer from Google to the question
"Will the people that did the manual update to Froyo still receive the OTA, and did it void the warrenty? Can I get a straight Answer?"
Hi,
The answer is yes and no, respectively. When 2.2 (Froyo) is sent via OTA, everybody will get it, including those who have already manually updated to Froyo. No, your warranty is not voided by manually updating to Froyo. But we do recommend waiting for the OTA if you're still on 2.1 / Eclair.
Cheers,
Ben

Origonal Post:
I found some evidence that supports, all manual user will get the OTA, even if you updated manually.
Hi all,
Thanks for the responses!
Just wanted to give a heads up that the build floating around is not the official Froyo release. You will get an automatic notification when we OTA the build, no need to manually download it. You will still get the automatic notification if the official release is a newer version than the one you have, so don't sweat...but I'd highly recommend waiting for our official release
@Bhushan4181: You will get the OTA update as long as you are connected to the internet and can communicate with Google servers.
We are striving hard to OTA the build to you ASAP, thanks for your patience!

From what I am TOLD as long as your manual update came from GOOGLE than it is still a LEGIT and offical update, just not the final, therefor you HAVE NOT voided your warrenty, and will most likely get the OTA so don't panic
P.S Those who did the manual update(me included) I would not worry about trying to roll back to 2.1. They sent out a test build via ota to testers, and when the final build comes i'm sure EVERYONE will get the OTA as it will have a different signature and what-not. How else would they get the final build to the testers?
Beautiful. Only thing missing now is a release date :|

It appears, according to the quote ' We are striving hard to OTA the build to you ASAP, thanks for your patience!' that the build is complete and it may only be the OTA to be sorted.
I hope so anyway

Let's take a look at that again:
"You will still get the automatic notification if the official release is a newer version than the one you have, so don't sweat"
Just wanted to point that out
There is no question that there must be a newer version of froyo thats coming out. I say that because every forum I visit on this site (and other sites) have people complaining that this and that doesn't work (anymore).

I knew there would be at least one person that would point something out to try to kill the post cause they didn't find it first. Obviously it will be newer. The file that was MANUALLY downloaded was available to the media and what not, so what, they are never gonna get the final OTA. Its common sense. And like I siad even if by what slim chance you don't get the OTA, you will be able to push it manually.
Way to try to kill a post

I don't claim to know what happened, but I'm damn sure there is more to all of this.
I cannot believe the degree to which Google has fumbled this Froyo release. They let us all think we might get it at I/O and look where we are now.....another week later...all anyone has gotten is a broken version.

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.

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).

Your response was absolutely fine. Sorry, I just took slight exception to the subject line of the thread itself "Gingerbread Officially Released". This is not an AT&T sub-forum or network specific thread. I have seen evidence of other network/country users being confused why they have no update yet.
On a side-note, originally Motorola hinted the UK would get the update at the same time, but that doesn't seem to be true as of yet. However, the non-network branded version of this handset is not released until August 2nd, due to Motorola having exclusive tie-ins with Orange UK and T-mobile UK until then.
Well in trying to bring my atrix back to stock so that I could install the OTA update I messed something up and it wouldn't or couldn't get any data. No up and down arrows showing data. No browsing or anything. Everything else worked. I could't even wipe the phone without an error. I took it to ATT after removing super user and a few other things. They couldn't figure it out so they gave me a new phone.
I upgraded to 2.3.4 and I am loving it. The battery seems to last much, much longer. The camera is much better and over all I am loving it. I do want to root it but looks like I will have to wait until more folks get this authentic version for that.
learning curve
I am new to android, i come from iphone jailbreak land. Sorry, I am late to the party but I can't understand one piece of the puzzle so i can manage this myself. I am on att, 2.2.2, baseband N_01.7715p, 4.1.83, Rooted with ginger blur 4.5.
Why dont i want to update my baseband with the OTA? I have read much about downgrading with RSD and so on, but because i am arriving at halftime, no one really explains why anymore. Just need a little help with the learning curve, Thanks
Those who are using Indian soak test before and now using official release in India.... Do you notice any changes?
Sent from my XT1068/69 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Soak Testers didn't get the final OTA and will not get it. Reason is, the final OTA rolled out today is the same one soak testers got. They just got it a little early. You can see in the screenshots that everything under About Phone is same in soak test version and final version.
So does this in theory then mean that those of us who installed the captured soak test from the other thread will not need to use any other captures in the future and be able to use the ota update just fine without any chances of bricks etc

Well, it was me who said that the other day. That time the official update hadn't rolled out and we thought it would be a newer system version. But, now that it's released; we now know that it is the exact same OTA, so no problems for future updates either. It's like we never installed soak.

Yea i suspected something like that was going on when I saw that new thread about the stable and people were saying everything's exactly the same but just wanted some sort of confirmation. Now the only thing that I don't know if it'll affect anything in the future is that my build number on 4.4.4 was kxb now it's lxb (unless k stands for kitkat and l for lolipop lol. dunno) but i don't think it would be a problem since the system version has only the numbers changed and everything else is as it was on kitkat. Seems like the indian release works on european xt1068's as well contrary to what I read some people were saying but I guess it depends on some things...

Funny, but you're right. The Build number on KitKat was "KXB21.85-23" on mine, but now it's "LXB22.46-28".

Well that pretty much solved all questions I had regarding lolipop on my moto g. Now the only mystery that remains is if the indian update works just fine when you install it on a eu moto g (well you need to manually install from recovery doe doesn't detect it in the ota screen) why is the eu xt1068's update nowhere to be talked about. All I've seen is india brazil and so on but eu is so silent that even babies can sleep

That´s a mystery for sure!
The only difference between the indian and the european XT1068 is the fact, that the indian version has 16 gb of memory,european model has 8gb.
But there must be something more that differs! In europe even a soaktest is rumored,surveys were sent,so everthing looks like we have to wait in europe for a few more days/weeks.
But why? In another thread I considered that Motorola is afraid of being taken to court or something by european users if something doesn´t work right. European laws are tough. Isn´t that a bit far out?
Or are there any technical differences between these models which are barely known?

Aside from the ram I highly doubt there's any real difference since when I got mine in the first few days of fiddling around it had the hindi, korean and pinyin keyboards which i disabled so I don't think that would be the case....I mean why would most eu phones need these inputs from the get go. As far as laws go I can't really see much reasoning there either since it's a 130-50eu phone so they can't really have much to complain and unless it somehow magically bricks the device I doubt there would be many if any at all issues...Dunno doe. I'm not motorola so i have no idea what's going on through their heads but it's just kinda silly to me considering that everything's running fine on mine at least without any factory resets or anything....could be just me doe. On another note I think one of my little gripes about lollipop is that it doesn't hide the signal bar for my secondary sim when it's inactive and just shows it. Is this just for me or does everyone have that cuz I didn't pay attention to that on screenshots the last few days
Did some one backed up latest Indian Lollipop rolled on 23 Jan in TWRP in recovery mode and uploaded somewhere? Please share.

The 14th Jan one does have 1032.3105.
EDIT: Looking at a screenshot in that thread, it doesn't have the above mentioned version.
Weird though, I have installed the same version, but using a .zip captured by one soak tester. How could the version be different, when the update is same?

Yes, weird but there is reason. MD5 of old link and new capture matched perfect. Update in link by you and new both are same. Looks like Motorola fooled everyone and rolled same update again.
Anyways! Can anyone share TWRP backup of this version?
some apps bugs ..
Some apps like fifa 15 ut and some others are not supported for locked device and while installing from play store it showed error 505.
