G2 Touch Android 2.1 - Hero, G2 Touch General

Hello,
I have done some searching but have been unable to find the answer so hope you guys can help.
Is there and offical update for the HTC G2 Touch to upgrade the Android frimware past 1.5 yet?
I have looked on the HTC site and drew a blank. If so how easy is this to install and would i lose all my contacts and pre installed apps.
Cheers in advance for any help offered

Yes, there is. You should have had an update pop up on the phone for over the air updating. If you have not then I suggest you restore your firmware to default settings and then connect to a wifi point to get the notification on your phone.

Phone is on default settings and i have connected to wifi many times with no notification.
I have been connected to wifi for 10 mins now and nothing.
Could the fact i am using a Vodafone sim be causing this? I have ordered a free PAYG TMobile sim just in case.

Nope, won't be the sim. Try chaging the date to a month forward. You need to check to see if vodafone has pushed out the updates.

Thanks for your help so far, changing the date did nothing, also Vodafone do not carry this phone.

Then that's why. Your going to have too roll it to WWE version first to get an update.

How do i go about doing that? Is it easy? I have no idesa what WWE mode is i am guessing its nothing to do with the wrestling and some kind of jailbreak.

WWE is the generic ROM that stands for world wide edition (I think!). You need to use the goldcard method/hboot unlocked to change to that.
I suggest you read up on goldcards and for the hboot it's in my sig as 2.1 downgrade. I will try to provide some links shortly.
Read
01: Goldcard Method
02: hboot unlocked
03. Android Recovery

Before you do all that...
How did you get the phone on Vodaphone? Unlocked? Who was the phone with originally?

It's good reading up, um what would it matter how it got on vodaphone if you don't mind me asking? and would it matter who it was with originally?

Because the update will be pushed from the original carrier so putting in a sim card from that carrier would allow the update. In theory.

I have a couple questions. 1, I got my unlock code from T-Mo today. If I unlocked it just by popping in a cingular sim and entering the code, does that take care of the cid lock as well? Also, will the RUU released be compatible with the Wing? And lastly, forgive me for this as I stopped using my MDA about 9 months ago and have been using a blackberry until I got my wing, but how do I know which version of WM6 I have installed on my phone. I'm guessing that the latest HTC release will most likely be a newer build, hencewhy I am wondering about installing the newer OS (well, that and removing all the extra T-Mo crap and cooking my own rom). Sorry guys, not tryin' to beat a dead horse, just tryin' to get some clarification.

Sim unlock doesnt CID unlock the phone. Not sure which RUU u talkin bout. Regarding the OS version go to Start->Settings->SystemTab->About. Will state the OS version and aku after the build.

lol Thanks. I actually found the "about" the moment after I posted. As for the RUU, I was under the impression that when HTC releases the WM6 upgrade, it'd have a new loader and/or cid unlock the phone. But, you know what they say about assumptions.

Prototype x10 running 007

Hi all, before writing this i spent hours reading through the forums for answers and found this to be on hell of a forum, nice work!
This probably should have gone to the x10 debranding thread so if any mods are here and think that that is a better place for it, please, transfer it.
Anyhu, here's the sit...
So i'm from Croatia, Europe and i got my prototype x10 from Poland. It was really cheap so i didn't complain but i just recently found out that i'm running R1DA007 which probably none of you have. I've had the phone for about 2 months i think and it's been one hell of an adjustment from my old w810i...
The problem is, when i run SEUS it says that there are no updates available. The phone is unlocked and my carrier is Tele2 but i don't think that has anything to do with my problem.
I really have no idea what would happen if i tried to debrand this phone and get the 016 update that way. I'm guessing none of you know the answer as well but some of the experienced users might have an idea of what i'm getting myself into.
The thing is, i don't have any insurance for the phone nor do i have the money to buy a new one so i won't do anything which isn't at least 99% sure to work. There are no guarantees in life so i'm not asking for 100%.
With that update, i'm hoping to get a better software solution for my camera which is excellent in macro shots but sucks big time in landscape shot and such, take a look: img707.imageshack.us/img707/8921/dsc0064nv.jpg
Also, the keyboard just sucks. Hitting "a" or "l" is almost impossible from the first attempt so i tried installing this: xperiax10.net/2010/04/07/installing-the-htc-keyboard-on-the-xperia-x10 - but with little luck. I can now see the HTC_IME mod under locale & text and i click on the check box but still, the original android keyboard remains.
Also the white keyboard was "automatically" replaced by a grey /black one which i liked a lot more that the original white one but then it "automatically" disappeared after i restarted the phone. I couldn't find an option to change the current white one, how do i do that?
I need your help guys, any ideas/comments are welcome. Thanks in advanced.
You can't update your X10 until a flasher for it comes out.
at first i would choose the "repair" option in SEUS.
SEUS will then download your current firmware from the server.
you will need it if you want to try the debrand-option and also when something goes wrong.
PS: does your pre-version still have the front-cam in ?
It won't work. SEUS sends a query to the server with TAC and CDA. If one of them is not found then it doesn't update.
I've a proto and I cant update or repair

sorry for my ignorance, flasher for the prototypes or for the regular x10 devicer or it doesn't matter
is a flasher something that has to do with the device being rooted first? so i have to wait for the root and than wait for an application (i presume?) that can
flash my rom?

can you access the bootloaders or do you still get the permission error?
Yes, you need an application that can flash X10. From what I heard SETool team should have X10 flashing and unlocking soon.
interesting, so i flash it with just the updates or i have to have the whole package?

Guessing your going to have to do a full flash, but why not when cooked ROMs are about.
Can you see if you can extract the boot.img from your device?
sure, just tell me how do i do that and i'll try
i asked about doing the full flash because then i'll loose all my programs, data etc...i don't loose those when just updating, right?
No point.
1. You can't flash it back
2. I have already given it to Balsat who wanted to test it out
sorry i didn't get this
are you saying that there's no point in doing a full flash or?
edit: i get it now

are you sure that there are no repair-FW's for the proto on the server ? SEUS seems to know the phone ..
ok, thanks
the SEUS app doesn't let me choose anything, when i connect it, that is the only thig that it says, no repair/install options
you need to use the EMMA tool from sony ericsson to update prototypes, you also need to have a working user and pass for it
hm, i don't have it but i might be able to get one
i'll ask the guy who gave me the phone
ps. would that mean that i could update it to 016 or up to as far as prototypes were tested?
You need Emma OA or R&D access.
could you calrify just a little bit please? btw. thank you all, you've been most helpful
it means (if you have access to it) that you could upgrade to any X10 firmware released

froyo 2.2

Any 1 help out hear,
gota Wildfire that was locked to virgin but got it unlocked but everytime i try a system update to go from 2.1 to 2.2 it just says theres no update available.

why would you want to do that? Root it and install a 2.2 rom, you'll get better performance and functionality

You should be able to unlock the phone yourself using the guides posted here on xda forums. Theres a few so just pick one which you can understand and go for it.

Yeah post all the details above and we'll get you going
Is it a prepaid phone or ya got it on plan? I'm sure if it's on plan you can unlock it free yourself. I unlocked mine last night. Just follow the instruction on your mobile carriers website.

Take some time to read through these forums. Also look at phandroid. Both are great communities to help you unlock the potential of the DHD.

Completely explains how to unlock, well at least it did for me (T-Mobile UK) you have to strictly follow the requirements needed though, otherwise you will damage your phone.
(sorry if any of this has already been posted, and thanks to 'jkoljo' for the guide)
Dude, did you try the tool that you maybe used to root it? Try the sim unlock option on there too. Worked for me. Orange uk. Try root tools search for site.

That means you need to downgrade to 1.32 before you can do anything.
Check out the downgrade thread in the Dev Section.

I dont know what rooted is thats why I took it to a shop to get unocked so I'm guessing no one knows the anwser
to unlock ur Simlock u will have to root ur phone to gain write access to patch / alter the file and have gone through the downgrade process to 1.32 FW. A shop prolly wont do that process for you as they tend to do the exact opposite and flash a non rooted Rom.
thanks, im new to this so this has really helped me.

I still have the original out of the box version file on my computer. I have updated my phone to the DE version. This is way different than the Note 5 firmware. I think I'm going to play with it this weekend to see if I can revert back to original stock though I'm not expecting a miracle. I'm hearing people can revert back but I'm not that interested in it until I need to be. I'm kind of disappointed that we don't have root and unlocked bootloader just yet but oh well. . it happens.
Bluetooth issues
I use my S8 with LG HBS1100 bluetooth headset and sometimes they disconnect... SOmetimes I can talk through whatsapp with the phone/speaker but not through bluetooth.
I also have the S8 connected to my Civic 2016 and it disconnect sometimes.
Tmobile signal/network is also very poor in some areas were I know are low but more noticeable.
I'm comparing these with my previous iphone 7+ S7 Edge and S8+.
I hope it improves with the update
I noticed my bluetooth acts wonky when I have any other wifi/bluetooth device active nearby. I did some testing with my work Iphone 7 and i get bad hickups in audio when its bluetooth or wifi is on in my car, when i turn it off, everything works fine.

Yeah i did. I tried it out with someone's cricket SIM card and it worked on cricket like a charm. So in my opinion, it's worth flashing to unlock firmware after network unlock through the app.
