If you are a leaker, please follow this tutorial when updating to the OTA. Get us the url to the OTA zip please.
Code:
If you are interested in looking at the process that HTC/Verizon uses for the OTA updates, you can get the URL for the OTA zip the following way:
Run logcat on the pc and accept the update on the phone
$ adb logcat > logcat_accept.txt
This will sit like this (it continues to log output into the output file) until the phone reboots. At that point, the adb logcat job will terminate, and the name of the zip file will be indicated in the logfile in a message similar to:
W/SystemUpdateHelper( 64): !!! REBOOTING TO INSTALL /cache/desirec-ota-104882.7b1e5cca.zip !!!
Then, take the name of the file and paste it on the end of android.clients.google.com/updates/partner, for instance, for the Eris 1.17.605.1 OTA, the complete url is:
https://android.clients.google.com/updates/partner/desirec-ota-104882.7b1e5cca.zip

i would, but i have no idea what any of that means :|
Im assuming either Linux or MS Command prompt?
Thats where you would enter the code correct?
Point the code to the device, then begin the update as usual?
EX:
$ cd /path/to/phone/
$ adb logcat > logcat-accept.txt
Or am I off here...
I have no update as of yet, but would love to help.
?
It just says
adb: permission denied
is this for leak or root?

If you type adb shell, it will emulate a shell on the phone. Skip that step. Just type
Code:
adb logcat > logcat_accept.txt
and it should start dumping to a file called logcat_accept.txt.
somebody needs to post a step by step how to with complete details so some of us rookies can do this

Thanks for the help. This worked and now im just waiting for it to stop. its been quite a few minutes
LOL too true, OK
Google "android sdk" you should be asked to agree to the licence, then on to dl the installer needed.
And once installed go to the tools folder in your android-sdk folder open a command prompt in the folder. I know Linux enough, Can't remember how to so that in windows sorry.

I may be way off here but most rooted users won't be able to/won't want to get the update as either a.) The SystemUpdate.apk has been removed from most root roms or b.) they wont want to accept the update as it will remove their root. This should be for leak users only. I think you will need to have gotten the update, run the logcat and then accept the update and capture the update process. Then the devs can use the url to also obtain the update and test it for exploits/vulnerabilities.

You can try downgrading to 2.1v2 (they have the same bootloader, so it might work), but I doubt it's worth it.

I called HTC support in Egypt about 10 days ago to ask about the update and they confirmed HTC Legend Froyo update is available with version 3.30.466.6 and the update is rolling in batches by the phone IMEI, please has anybody got this update? my phone is showing "Your phone is up to date" !!!
There is an update available already for 1.27.466.7 to 3.30.466.6 but we don't have the original ROM to make a custom ROM or extract the Arabic support!

I called HTC Support to tell them about the problem with updating to Froyo, they told me: I have either update the phone within Safe Mode or take the phone to Support Center in Cairo and they will update it manually within 2 hours.
I guess there is a missing update my phone needs to get: 1.27.466.5 to 1.27.466.7 and that must be manually updated.
I hope this helps some one out there.
I have the same problem. so what is the solution only going to the software support for them to update.
You have two options actually:
1. Wait the update to come to your phone
2. Go to the support center and do the update
I went to the support center and upgraded my phone to froyo, It took 2 hours, and they did for free, I'm now a happy FroYo phone owner .
My phone now has SW# 3.30.415.6
Remember to backup all your data and apps before you go, they will do a factory data reset to the phone.
Working hours of the support center is from 11AM to 6PM.

I tried already using "Universal Androot 1.6.2 beta 5", did not work, do you have another way that is compatible with FroYo 2.2?
Download Tools.zip
We will need to do a backup of the SYSTEM partition of your phone.
1- Use VISIONary to temp root your phone but make sure USB Debugging is enabled for it to work.
2- Extract the Tools.zip to c:/tools
3- use CMD command prompt and type below commands
cd c:\tools
4- push busy box to your phone
adb push busybox /data
adb shell chmod 755 /data/busybox
5- make a copy of the system parition
adb shell
su
/data/busybox tar -cv -f /sdcard/system.tar /system
6- finally upload the system.tar file from the root of your sdcard.

I guess he will have to push it to /data/local or /data/local/tmp directory:

...and execute it from there:
Code:
adb shell
su
/data/local/busybox tar -cvf /sdcard/system.tar /system
Ok I'll try all of that, but I have 2 questions:
1. Is this a softroot and will go away once I restarted my phone?
2. Does this will collect my personal data with it when I TAR the system partition?
1. Yes.
2. No.

If someone gets the update, can you please do this before you accept it. and post the logcat.txt? Please this may help rooting.
How to get the URL for the OTA zip the following way:
Run logcat on the pc and accept the update on the phone

take everything that is in exploits.zip and move it to your android sdk directory specifically the location of adb.exe (will either be in platform-tools or tools) as for the two RUUs, they can be anywhere but you will have to move them at one point to your SD card. That is about it

Hey guys, complete n00b here
I'm trying to root my htc desire z, and in the process I realised I have to downgrade.
adb, sdk... etc. etc. I'm very in the dark about a lot of this... I've trawled through page after page after page (mostly on this site) and I get lost for a lot of it. I'm only learning very basic stuff about cmd prompt now.
Can anyone help me through this? Maybe fire some questions at me to get the ball rolling? Any help at all is much appreciated.
Oh, and if this is posted in the wrong forum, please direct me otherwise
Cheers guys.
Further info
I'm running Android 2.3.3
I've been following this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905261
Although I've been using a different downgrade folder (replace "psneuter" with "fre3vo")
All the files are in a folder called "Downgrade", directly on my C drive...
I go into cmd prompt and type the following...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cd\Downgrade
adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
and then it gets stuck at
fre3vo by #teamwin
Please wait....
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It used to continue on from that, and I'd type adb shell and get a # instead of a $, but I had the wrong .zip file on my SD card so the reboot thing didn't work properly.
Now that I'm certain I have the right .zip file on it, I'm stuck at this command prompt problem.... I'm very, very confused...
Ok, I've gotten past all those problems. But it just won't downgrade to older firmware for some reason. I get to the bootload, and it waits for a second, then comes up with a quick list (that I can't make out in time) but I'm fairly sure it's coming up with the .zip files and saying they're not images? Then it just reverts back to the bootloader screen.
Am I completely wasting my time based on the fact that it's 2.3.3?
Can you see the file extensions on your PC? A common mistake is to name the file zip.zip instead of just .zip at the end.
Here is a good downgrade guide for gingerbread.
Like ArmedandDangerous said, make sure your computer is not set to 'hide file extensions' (quick google search will tell you how to check/change).
If hboot still refuses to flash the PC10IMG.zip, come to #G2ROOT on freenode irc for help.
-Nipqer
Hey guys thanks for the replies! (likin the profile pic Nipqer )
Yeah I can see the file extensions and I'm fairly sure that I have the .zip file named perfectly. I'm not on my PC right now, but I'll have a "root" ( ) around when I am. I'm fairly certain I already gave that downgrade guide a bash though, but I'll try it once more. I'll post updates when I have them, thanks guys!
little more extensive on the rooting procedure if maybe your interested
http://techticians.com/index.php/mobile-tech/14-mobile-phones/27-rooting-the-t-mobile-g2
Is it possible to downgrade from 2.3.3 though? I've read in a lot of places that it can't be done?
Thanks for all your responses guys! I understand how irritating n00bs can be
No worries--we've all been newbs once
It IS in fact possible to downgrade then upgrade from stock 2.3.3 (I've actually done it; I've messed about with custom firmware back when I had a Samsung Omnia, but this was pretty much my "rooting deflowering" as far as Android phones went).
Here's how I did mine (this assumes you are running Windows and not MacOS X or Linux). I'm assuming you've backed up your apps first
a) Install Android SDK Tools (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html). I pretty much did the full install.
b) Install HTC Sync (I got it from http://www.htc.com/de/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=1073&news_id=918 which is all in German but will still get you set up).
c) You will need to set paths correctly--in my case I had to click "Start", "Control Panel", "System", "Advanced", then click the button labeled "Environment Variables", then add in the "PATH" where the apps for ADB and (more important for our purposes) the platform-tools directory for ADB lives.
(There's actually a pretty good, in-depth guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=879701 on how to do this, but I'm just posting the Cliff's Notes version here )
d) Set USB Debugging on with the phone. Connect phone to computer using stock cable, click "Start", "Run", then "cmd" to open a command window. Type "adb shell cat /dev/msm_rotator" in that command window, hit return--if it gives some error about invalid length, your phone is visible to ADB and you SHOULD in theory be ready to downgrade.
e) Download and unzip the files attached in the article on downgrading (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912) to the directory where "platform-tools" lives (usually something like C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools unless you installed it in a nonstandard location) and then in the command window type "cd C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools" (without quotes, and change that last bit to the actual directory if you installed it in a nonstandard location).
f) From there, follow the downgrade guide--if it hiccups, go on IRC to #G2Root and ask for help. (I didn't have any hiccups with this guide.) All the commands will be typed in that command window I mentioned. (Oh yes, you'll be getting intimately familiar with a command line and command window with this.)
g) Confirm (once the phone boots up after you re-flashed the ROM) that it is running 2.2.
h) Follow the guide on how to root a stock Froyo phone (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision)--you won't have to worry about psneuter or any of that, because you've already done that (with fre3vo rather than psneuter).
i) Once you've confirmed it's rooted (according to that guide), then (assuming you're upgrading to 2.3.4 rooted or CM7 or whatnot) install the latest radio for the T-Mobile G2 (yes, you want to do this before ever messing with putting on a new ROM, otherwise you are going to find that stuff will go sideways). Get the latest T-Mobile G2 radio (http://www.mediafire.com/?vumdi3gges6ia4o), rename it to PC10IMG.zip, and follow this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970809&highlight=install+radio).
j) Install the particular rooted ROM you want to use. (I ended up just using a rooted version of stock in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202498).
And--barring a hiccup with the phone--voila, root.
This is pretty much what worked for me--can't guarantee it'll work for others. (Probably the scariest part to me was the radio update, but even this actually was relatively painless.)
I could KISS you guys!!!!
I ended up just going with the guide that Tbbo514 linked, and after a few hiccups, it works like a charm. I'm now rooted, gonna go search for a ROM so exciting.
Once again, you guys are legends! Thanks so much!

should have just posted it here lol..this may sound stupid to say lol but are you hitting the power button or the optical pad button..if you hit power i noticed sometimes it would show the gear with the hat on..try selecting with the optical button instead
The official huawei page of our region has stated that it has released the MM update for kiw l21 and it should reach us in 2-3 working days...
There will be an OTA and a link on their website... I want to mirror the link on sites like mega etc for people who don't get the update right away.... But don't kniw how to, can someone please explain the procedure so middle eastern people don't have to wait any longer...

If you read the original post correctly... Huawei said that the OTA will reach in 2-3 working days... That means monday or tuesday (at least where i live).... Some people have got the ota but i still haven't... And there is no update available till now on their website...
One of my friends recieved the update so i should be soon too.... I will mirror the OTA and share the link asap

I simply use the logcat feature of android to get the URL of an OTA update
Open a command prompt and use these two commands to clear the log and then dump the log to your PC and simply look (search) for any http:// in the log
I simply use.
adb logcat -c
followed by
adb logcat -d > logcat.txt
to learn more read below
1. When you get prompted to download an update on your Android device, immediately plug your phone into a computer.
2. From that computer, open a command prompt, type “adb logcat” and hit enter. (On a Mac it’s “./adb logcat”)
3. The command prompt will then begin to spit out information from your phone.
4. Feel free to then tap the “Download” button on the update from your phone.
5. Once the download starts, you will be able to find the URL of the file that is downloading in the logcat.
6. You can do a handful of things now to find it-

To better use the "adb logcat" command, we need to look at its options:
"adb logcat -b <buffer>" - Loads an alternate log buffer for viewing, such as event or radio. The main buffer is used by default. There are log buffers on the Android system: "main", "events", and "radio". The default buffer is "main".
"adb logcat -c" - Clears (flushes) the entire log and exits.
"adb logcat -d" - Dumps the log to the screen and exits.
"adb logcat -f <filename>" - Writes log message output to a file. The default is the "stdout - Standard Output".
"adb logcat -g" - Prints the size of the specified log buffer and exits.
"adb logcat -n <count>" - Sets the maximum number of rotated logs to <count>. The default value is 4. Requires the -r option.
"adb logcat -r <kbytes>" - Rotates the log file every <kbytes> of output. The default value is 16. Requires the -f option.
"adb logcat -s" - Sets the default filter spec to silent.
"adb logcat -v <format>" - Sets the output format for log messages. The default is brief format.
