No it doesn't. The mods are addicted to the delete button. Look again. No link. I've posted 5 decent posts in that thread... only one remains.

Some guys in Poland say that they got a Security Fix Update from Google today morning. So far they havent found any change besides correct polish letters in the virtual keyboard. The bulild number has changed to CRB43.

I got this just now (in the UK).
Version now reads:
Kernel version: 2.6.27-00393-g6607056
[email protected] #1
Says it was a security fix and was about 4.5 megs

I've got it too, this morning, in Ukraine

Yes it does, it's on the first post. You gotta use ADB to get it.
Hey, I know how you feel. I posted in it last night, to bump the thread so people like the OP will see it and follow the instructions. What happened to my post? Deleted, so the thread went back down off the first page. I even said the reason why I was bumping it, but because my post had no relation to the URL topic, it was axed.

Eh, just got the update message too; I'm in Florida using the U.K.'s CRB17.
Here's the update.

*edit* This is a security update for crb17, though I don't know what exactly it did.

Thank you! Finally, someone who actually did it!

Well I'll be damned.
An update link was posted.

unfortunately, no one is paying attention. This update is for the UK version...and its just a security update... for the UK version...it's NOT the US update.

I was paying attention, and it was an update link. Might not of been the Cupcake update, but it was an update that somebody might find useful.

I also got the security update...
I'm in the UK...
Don't know what it fixed or changed or anything really...

Rooting magic?

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?

t
... 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

ya there is no Magic+ as kawata said.. dont worry about that

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.

UPDATED: If you manually upgraded to 2.2. YOU WILL GET OTA : GOOGLE EMPLOYEE CONFIRMS

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 :|

Good find, I think its a no brainer but confirmation is good for some folks that were worried.

yeah good to know....

Ya even I was a little tweaked. Not saying we wouldn't be able to just flash it anyhow even if you are NON root. But there was alot of mixed answers not only here but all over the net, and some people were freaking out

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

"You will still get the automatic notification if the official release is a newer version than the one you have, so don't sweat"
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
BTW...

lol nice one ...
I dont find any good reason to give/update the press or the "preview phones" some unfinished or still bugged version of 2.2
For what ? so that they review it (Froyo) and write down all the bad or not working things ... it makes no sense , at least for me ...

BINGO..and what when they find the mistakes...NOT FIX IT...haha, that exactly what I was saying

what about those who installed the OTA manually and then installed the custom recovery image? will they still be able to get the new OTA?

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.
I said it before and I'll say it again: Mickey Mouse time in Mountain View

nice find!

did anyone read this?
maybe we don't have the offical release... yet...

Since I'm still semi new to Android, you miss out on OTA updates if you're rooted right? Does that also mean you miss out if your bootloader is unlocked?

A firmware update is available...

Hey everyone!
It's 5:47am on this Tuesday, November 9th, and I have a firmware update notification in the status bar.
What should I do?

I'm running a custom rom, SlideMeRoot, with the first Mytouch Slide update applied.
Or SlideMeRoot is a version of the stock rom?
Then:
Firmware: 2.1-update1

They are trying to give you the OTA. Don't take it if you like your root.

Slidemeroot uses is older than ota, they are sending you the rom that cr modded(1.3.x). Upgrade to cr for new radio and it will go away.

Sounds like you've got the OTA many of us have had for quite some time. Take a look at my signature; if your build resembles my current ROM it's an older OTA. Post some screen shots as you did earlier so we can see the change since you've updated. Thanks.

Bear in mind the OTA update was more than just a radio upgrade ... which from your initial post appears to be the extent of the OTA you have had for quite some time. Interested to see the updated screen shots though ...

So if you want me to do something, articulate what that is.

And according samsung.de this is dated 5.1.2011. So it is out for a while

Thats odd os the one downloaded today although it has a lower build number is dated ‎29 ‎January ‎2011, ‏‎23:11:02. The newest part is dated Feb14th.

When I download the update for kies it gets to the dowloading files part and is on 100% but carries on downloading past the 53642kb on something like over 233343 whats wrong with it? Also it keeps asking for internet connection and i click retry every so often? Is there anyway I can download the new version and uninstall the old one rather than updating?

i noticed that this new update is more responsive than the last at least they are improving their apllication

That's happened to me a few times since Kies was first released. The short/kindest answer is that Samsung developers aren't the best...
