seriously excited...thanks for the 'news'...

OMG 2.1! I can finally have yet ANOTHER 2.1 ROM around, except this time will be "official". Yay!

Seriously, these rumors are getting out of hand. Damageless' rom is basically a rooted 2.1 stock.

I'm kicking a baby seal at the next person who post these screenshots or links to these screenshots again.
We know, May is the date, yay! :\

you don't want it, just wait the dev roms to come out. if you update you will lose root at least for awhile maybe forever.
you want root.
you need root.
(but only if you like themes/roms/root apps/being able to remove system apps/sticking it to the man/other badass stuff)

good point .. i will sit back and enjoy the perks that all these talented devs offer ! .. will wait for their 2.1 version after the official is released
buying time with my hero until the EVO god phone comes out .. haha

sticky
i think this is the best clue we have as to when 2.1 will be officially released, whether or not we'll need it beside the point.
i say we make this a sticky to discourage more rumors, as this is straight from sprint, and will shut everyone else up. it will be the widely accepted date for right now, and stop talk of it (we all should rest assured it IS coming at SOME point)
for now i encourage possible 2.1 users to try out damages for a very stock feel, flipz for more of a bounce and even a little bit more stability, and legends to just have fun.
-kurtis

i heard they decided to pull the plug on 2.1 because 2.5 is almost bug-free. and it comes with not just live-wallpaper, but with smell-a-talk! now you can smell the breath of your caller....... available on the future release of HeroVo 3

I'm on stock 1.5 and I keep on getting an "Update Device" pop up for Heroc2000 Firmware update ......should I update it?

i vote yes.

I got tired of waiting ... im still tired of waiting so I put the fresh rom on.. and im never waiting again...

Can't wait "NOT"
I can't wait for the Official. Oh wait I've been on it for weeks. Can someone please explain why we care when the official is release. I only see one advantage. Fresh will turn it on in his Kitchen.

Froyo'd up Nexus One landing in South Korea soon.

Not landing till the end of next month though.

Just so you know.
For the record :
When this get moved/locked/deleted it was posted in good faith as a piece of Nexus One related news, nothing more.

i'd imagine by then we'll already have the official froyo ota update. Shouldn't be too long now.

I am chomping at the bit because I have no way to get FRF50 without rooting and I am unable swallow the pill of loosing my warranty on such a big purchase without recourse.
Dan

Froyo will be dropped OTA in the next few days.
Guaranteed.
http://www.androidos.in/2010/06/froyo-updated-nexus-one-arriving-soon-in-south-korea.html
The release date is June 21. In an hour where I am, it'll be the 18th already. We should be expecting the OTA anytime with this news.
Unless of course the "Froyo'd" up meant = FRF50.
ROFL.

Flash player is updated now too

And did you notice...
The new version "happens to be" 10.1.72.7.
With 72.7 reflecting the current FRF72-77 compilation.

I think he means unlocking the bootloader to install a custom rom, voiding the warranty.

I'm assuming your T-Mobile and he's att that's why

Yeah, I'm on AT&T and just didn't want to root since I just got my phone. I'm hoping it will come out OTA soon...

I wish they'd get on with it just so the board isn't cluttered with any more squinnying about why it's not out yet

I would need to root my phone because I have the North American 3G varient (EPE54B) that the FRF50 Test Build was not direclty written for.

I can't wait to start whining about my hoped for feature/bug fix not making it.
Seriously though, I'm super eager for an official Froyo as I'm convinced the FRF50 update caused serious issues with using mobile data (constant errors and slow speed when using data and not on wifi).

No OTA for people on Cyanogen though /:
But he'll put a ROM out in no time once its out.

That is actually precisely what they mean, and is why they only have 4k for launch. They're running the pre-release Froyo on them.
I wouldn't expect to see Froyo for another couple weeks people. Don't hold your breath.

Engadget says 4,000 units will be available for sale in South Korea on June 21st.
I'd expect OTA sometime around that week.

It's froyo'd up.

So do the korean phones run on t-mobile bands or did they void the warranties on all the phones before selling them?

Can New EVO's be Rooted Still?

Seriously considering going back from the 3d to the original EVO as the new one...mine at least, simply has too many problems that get in the way of actually doing work on the thing.
Can a new off the shelf EVO with the current software build still be rooted?
I did search but didn't find an answer to this specific question so any help would be greatly appreciated.,

If it has 2.3.3 and the radio is s-on you're out of luck....for now.

No root! Did you search here or some other non cellphone fourm for EVO 2.3.3 root? 2.3.3 is not rootable. No one cares about the EVO 2.3.3 We are the red head step children of the cellphone world.

I call BS on that claim. What terms did you search for? I've come across multiple "I just replaced my phone because the screen broke/my dog chewed it/I went deep sea diving with it. Is it rootable?" posts without even trying to find them.

i am amazed and surprised it was not rooted within 1 week of the release.

quite funny on how you did a search, this Topic is plastered all over xda and android central about not being able to root with a 2.3.3
On the other hand, i've heard plenty of rumors that they 2.3.3 was recalled and they are not updating now.. which sucks because I got mine with a 2.3.3 and hate not being rooted

But will HTC really unlock the 4G now that the 3D is out? I've not been able to find anything anywhere that specifically states that the 4G will be unlocked in the future. I'm pestering them on Facebook and so far they've refused to say that they have any intentions of unlocking the bootloader.

i doubt htc will unlock evo 4g. this will have to be done by devs.
htc said they will try to unlock future phones... not past phones.
it started with evo3d & sensation.
locked htc botloader is not new... evo 4g has always had it...this new one must have some type of new security.

It is too bad that they can't put the previous bootloader back on the phone through an update or something. At least that could be worked through.

Motorola Xoom 'project' rolling out now

Android Central posted this a couple of hours ago.
http://www.androidcentral.com/motor...ing-roll-out-now-and-continue-through-weekend
Anyone get it yet? What is it??

TalkAndroid confirms that it is Ice Cream Sandwich. http://www.talkandroid.com/83313-mystery-xoom-update-begins-roll-out-this-evening/#.Tw-0GVEgeWM

I think so. I signed up that night of the day all the sites first reported about this uber secret "project" and never received any message or contact of any kind about it. Kudos to Motorola for having this coincide with them moving their feedback/support forums to a new site, further confusing users. SMH...
Anyone else think Motorola only decided to release this update today because they were feeling some pressure after ASUS not only announced today as the day thy were updating their Transformer Prime but made good on their word? In other words, I think they Motorola would have kept us on ice (no pun intended) if it weren't for ASUS' updates today.

The test is private, it won't roll out to everyone. We had to give our serial numbers and such I'm guessing so we could be put in a pool of Xooms to get the test update.

I know that, I just meant that when the ota does roll out to the masses if that app does anything?

Xplay Updates Straight From Verizon

My take is, it is definitely getting 2.3.4 and 2.3.6 but no time as to when, and 4.0 is possible but no official word yet.

Those mother ****ers. Instead of ICS in April, they are gonna give us 2.3.4 or 2.3.6
Could you not see that happening?

I just got off from live chat with verizon and the rep told me that she does not know if it will get an ics update but it will more then likely. I can about guarantee you none of these reps know anything about any of this they just have a list to of catch phrases to say for each phone to keep the customers content until there contract is up, or they get the one year upgrade.
Just got off from another chat with a different agent and she said there is no way for them to confirm any kind of update for the device. I have screenshots if you want proof.

Typical Verizon run around. I don't think they have a damn clue.

I doubt they do the rep tired to sell me the galaxy nexus, she was going on and on about it already having ics on it and i should get that phone if i wanted ics. I told her that if verizon doesnt update the play there isnt a chance i would upgrade my device i would switch networks.

Verizon takes forever to get updates out. We'll probably see 2.3.4 when 4.0 is out.

Until another network has equal voice quality, and voice/data coverage, they won't loose customers.

There will be an intermediary release before the VZW Xperia Play receives ICS, but it will receive ICS
